Everlasting Rose

A/N: Hello! I was very surprised to see how many reviews I got last night and this morning. Thank you guys! I loved reading them all. I thought I would reward you guys by uploading my next chapter earlier then I was going to.

vernieklein: I'm really trying to think out the storyline as best I can.

: isn't he? He is adorable!

Kigen Dawn: *Shakes head* Harry is so dense. It's so obvious he has feelings for Draco. If he didn't then he wouldn't have been so flattered after finding out that Draco sent the rose

Sayainprincess07: Here is another chapter! Yeah Poor Draco. Hopefully things will look up for him.

Lupinesence: Thank you I try: P

Chapter 7

Harry woke up the next morning with a massive headache. He groaned and held his head as he sat up. He looked over to Draco's bed and noticed that he wasn't there.

'Does this mean that he didn't come back last night?' wondered Harry.

For some reason the idea that Draco might not have come back made him worried. His headache intensified at the thought. He winced and got up to get ready for classes.

He headed to the great hall and noticed that Draco wasn't there either. Harry sat down to eat breakfast alone. After a few minutes Neville walked in and sat down next to Harry.

"Hello Harry." Neville said quietly.

Harry looked up from his plate.

"Hello Neville. Where's Blaise?" asked Harry.

Neville's cheeks became tinged with pink.

"He's not up yet so I came down here by myself." Replied Neville.

Harry smirked a little bit.

'Well now this is interesting. I haven't seen Neville blush since he went to the Yule ball with Ginny. This could prove to be entertaining.' Harry thought to himself in amusement.

"So how are things going with you and Blaise?" Harry asked innocently.

Neville Blushed 3 Shades Darker. Harry smiled knowingly.

"W-what do you mean?" Neville asked nervously.

"Well you two have been hanging out a lot lately." Replied Harry.

"That's because we are friends now. It's nothing suspicious. Speaking of suspicious, what about you and Malfoy? You guys have been practically joined at the hip lately." Countered Neville.

This time is was Harry's turn to go red.

"I-Its not like were together constantly or anything….he's just a friend. He's not even a best friend." Harry lied.

Harry knew somewhere very deep inside himself that he cared immensely about Draco. But he just didn't know why. Draco was his friend and of course he cared about him. So then why was he so worried about Draco? He felt as if his chest was constricting and being weighed down by the worry. Did this mean that he had feelings for Draco as well? Or was this just normal friendship worries? He had never felt this way about Hermione and Ron though. It was almost as if he couldn't spend more then a few hours away from Draco without getting worried that something bad had happened. It was totally irrational.

Neville was giving Harry a mix between a worried and knowing look.

"Sorry I should probably get to class." Harry said quickly.

Harry walked into Potions class and sighed in relief as he noticed Draco sitting in between Neville and Blaise. He sat down and spared a glance in Draco's direction. Draco has determinedly staring at his work. He looked like he using all his will power to stop him from looking up.

He quickly looked away when his father entered the room. Throughout the class he kept stealing glances at Draco. He knew it was stupid but he really wanted to catch Draco's eye. However Draco seemed to be doing his best to prevent that from Happening.

After the class was over, Draco left the class room at a run. Harry clutched his head as pain exploded through it and his world went black.

He woke up and noticed that he was on a couch in his Fathers office in the dungeons. He was covered comfortably in blankets and was propped up on a large pile of pillows. His father walked in with a cup of tea and set it in front of him.

'How did he even know I was awake?' Harry wondered.

Snape helped Harry sit up with a worried expression on his face.

'Harry what Happened? One second you were standing in my class looking completely fine and the next you were lying on the ground. You scared me half to death."

Harry had never seen Snape look so scared in his life. He leaned over and hugged his father. Snape hugged back rather hard.

"I'm Sorry, I don't know what happened. I woke up this morning with a really big headache and I guess the pain was too much for me to handle. I guess I've just been stressed lately." Apologized Harry.

Snape nodded his acceptance of the apology.

"What could have been so stressful that caused you a headache painful enough to pass out?" Snape asked curiously.

Harry blushed a bit.

"Well…it's kind of a long story. It turns out that Draco was the one that sent me the rose and…now I just don't know what to think. I keep feeling...drawn to him. I keep looking at him and watching him and I get worried when he's not around."

Snape nodded. He had noticed Harry staring at Draco in Potions.

"Have you talked to him recently?" Snape questioned.

"No not since last night. After he told me he ran out really fast and he wasn't at breakfast so I think he's avoiding me." Harry replied solemnly.

"How long have you had this headache?" asked Snape.

"Since this morning when I woke up. It gets worse when I think about stressful things like me and Draco. I just don't know what to do father. Why do I feel this way?" Harry sighed.

"I have a theory. It sounds like Draco is your mate. You have had this headache ever since he started avoiding you from what it sounds like. You have also been feeling drawn to him lately. That could be caused by the fact that you haven't been around him and the bond is craving his closeness." Snape concluded.

Harry sat there in shock. Draco was his mate? He had to admit it made sense.

"For the meantime though I want you to stay here and rest. I need to go out and see to something so I'll be gone for a while. Lie back down and don't move." instructed Snape.

Harry did as he was told. Snape turned around and left the room. He headed down to the DADA room. He knocked on the door.

"Come in" called a familiar voice.

Snape opened the Door and came face to face with Remus Lupin.

"What Can I do for you" asked Remus.

"I would like to speak with Draco Malfoy is that's ok with you." Snape drawled.

Draco stood up and followed Snape a little ways down the Hallway.

Snape turned around abruptly and stared at Draco sharply.

"You need to go and see Harry."

Draco was shocked.

"W-Why?" Draco stuttered.

"There are many things that you don't understand right now. You see Harry isn't completely human. He is also Part Devil. Apart from having red eyes and wings, he also has a mate." Snape looked pointedly at Draco.

It took a second before he clued in.

"Wait so does this mean that I'm Harry's mate?" Draco asked in amazement.

"Yes and a side effect for devils not being around their mate for a certain amount of time is an intense dizziness, Headaches, and Depression. Harry is currently lying in my office in pain and you're the only one who can fix it, so get down there now and help my son before I hang you in the dungeons by your toes." ranted Snape.

Draco stood there dazed for a few seconds before sprinting towards the dungeons.
