So please vote for that and please enjoy the chapter and I'll see you at the end.
Chapter: 25
Sighing as I turned over in my comfortable cocoon of warmth I tried to ignore the feeling of having to go to the bathroom. I was so comfortable and all I really wanted to do was to go back to sleep for another couple years. I lay still for a couple more minutes before I surrendered to the feeling and got up and headed to the bathroom. Turning down the hall I was about to the bathroom when I noticed the light was already on. 'Aw come on. Someone's in there? Now my bed will be cold by the time I get back…' I thought with a pout as I waited outside the bathroom for whoever it was to finish.
Forever seem to pass the urge to pee continued to get worse, sighing I stepped up to the door and knocked. "Is anyone in there?" I asked quietly but loud enough for them to hear me. I got no answer in return. I was so tempted just to go downstairs and use that bathroom but that was all the way down there. Growling impatiently, I opened the door and walked in only to be put in the most awkward and arousing scene I've ever been in.
Harry stared at me frozen with the sponge still hovering over his tan and toned chest as he stared at my with stunned eyes. My face heated up as my eyes were glued to his form. "Umm Draco?" He squeaked as he slowly brought his hand down to rest underneath the water. Blinking furiously, I quickly ducked my head down and began backing out. "I'm so sorry! It's just you didn't answer and I thought no one was in here and …" and I would have continued to ramble on if it wasn't for the deep hearty laughs that came from Harry's chest. "Well maybe I wanted you in here so that's why I didn't say anything." He commented with a sly smile.
I looked up at Harry stunned and I felt my face get hotter if that was possible. Harry smirked and tilted his head to the side as he slowly drug his hand up his chest before letting it rest behind his head. "So what do you say Draco? Want to join me for a late night bath?" He whispered in a soft velvety voice that curled around me and left me wanting to hear more.
Oh god I wanted to so bad. His shaggy black hair was wet and lying against his skull as small droplets of water trailed down his body oh so slowly. A deep blush worked its way onto my face as I felt another part of my stir from it slumber and I quickly started backing out while trying to work an apology before darting out and slamming the door close and high tailing it back to my room.
-Save Me-Harry Potter-
Laughing slightly as I watched the door slam closed as Draco took off, 'I was hoping he actually would join me.' I thought sadly as I slid down into the tub. I wasn't blind enough that I didn't notice the beautiful creature that I spent most of my days around. Draco was handsome when we were in school but ever since he got pregnant he seemed to have this slight more feminine way to him where he once was very manly.
Or maybe that was all in act. Maybe this is the real Draco and if it is I definitely want to see more and maybe one day have for my own. I smiled softly as I thought of the blonde dragon. I don't know what happened but over the course of time I think I may have come to feel strongly about him. It wasn't love yet, but it was very strong and with the right stuff it could turn into love. Sighing happily as I began to think of what could be mine and Draco's life together, I began to feel kind of complete. Like this is what I needed in my life.
Leaning up to grab the shampoo, I began to think about of my years of knowing Draco. I guess you really couldn't say knowing him per say since all we did was yell insults and fight all the time. As I worked the shampoo into my hair I began to realize something. I had no actual reason that I should have ever hated Draco. The only real thing that stood behind my reason was because Ron hated him.
I never real formed my own opinion on him, just followed Ron. But now Ron has changed but then again so have I. But what was the change? Maybe it wasn't Ron, maybe it was just me that changed. No, Ron has changed. He was never as cruel as he was when we left the school. Sighing as I washed out the shampoo and moved onto the conditioner I couldn't help but wonder why did we change?
Ever since I came here, well into the wizarding world, I've always been told that I was the chosen one and needed to kill Voldemort. That my parents gave a great sacrifice to save me and I always had Ron and Hermione as my best friends and Draco as my arch enemy at school. I had everything so set then now that set line of where I was supposed to be at was ripped entirely apart.
I always thought I could trust Dumbledore but now it seems like that was all a lie. It seems now that I was just a weapon for him to help keep control of this world.
But the only thing I have from the past is Hermione and my now not so arch enemy Draco. I don't even have a past now that I can look at and remember. Well I guess you can say in some ways I do but their all fake. They were made so someone else could take the lead in life and rule.
Sighing as I washed the conditioner out of my hair before laying back and relaxing. My thoughts slowly began to trail their way back to Draco, they've been doing that a lot lately. I don't know exactly why I went to find Hermione and Ginny that day they went to spend with them but I'm glad I did because when I spoke to Draco alone for a few minutes. It confirmed that there was more to Draco then I was seeing and I wanted to know more about him. No, I needed to know more about him.
-Save Me-Sirius Black-
As I slowly pulled myself out of the darkness I was stuck in I couldn't help but feel like I was surrounded in cotton, inside and out. Everything was so fuzzy and unclear as I tried to pull up some kind of explanation about what happened and where I was. Coughing slightly as I finally pried my eyes opened I took in what was in front of me.
I was in this dark green colored bedroom that seemed like a normal bedroom. There wasn't anything special about it really. There was a desk, closet and a door and a book shelf and a window, nothing really unusual expect the fact I was in it.
'How did I get here?' I thought as I slowly tried to push myself up at least onto my elbows but failed as I was smothered into the pillows since all I could do was turn slightly over. "You couldn't sit still?" came a silky annoyed voice that I knew all too well and truly didn't want to hear right now. "Why are you here you old snake?" I growled as I slowly turned myself back over to look at him as he stood over me with a small vial in hand. "Well you mangy dog, I am here to give you this potion so you will get better since my niece risked her life to save yours." He said snidely as he sat on the edge of the bed and hoisted me up to lie against his shoulder.
"And before you pour that poison down my throat may I ask who your niece is and what exactly did she save me from?" I sneered as I expected him to try and find another lie before forcing me to drink that poison he held within his grasp. Instead he glared at me before answering, "My niece is someone within your family as well except I don't remember exactly how she'd be related to you at this point. But her name is Cassandra Rayven Black, the daughter of Alexandria Snape and Logan Black and she saved you from the veil." He explained calmly.
I looked up at him with stunned eyes, unsure of how to take this. My niece had risked her life to save mine. She went into the veil and pulled me out and for what cost? For me to live again? No, none of this makes since, "You're lying." I growled as I looked him in the eyes only to see pure annoyance. "He's not lying." Came a voice from the doorway as I turned to see my godson standing there.
"Harry? What have you been doing? I mean what are you doing here?" I stuttered out as he walked closer. "Well I was in the bath but then I got out and went looking for Severus and here I am. But if you're wanting to know why I'm with them, well that'll have to wait till you're healed but believe me you're safe here." He said as he took the vial from Severus and tilted my head back. "Trust me ok." He said as he waited till I nodded before pouring the liquid in my mouth. It tasted bitter and disgusting but I began to feel the cotton feeling going away and things began to seem clearer as I fell back into the darkness from which I came.
-Save Me-Severus Snape-
Carefully throwing the dog off me and back onto its bed I stood and looked at Potter before checking to make sure the dog was fine and won't die in his sleep. Seeing that he would live to annoy me another day I headed back upstairs to check on my niece. I couldn't leave her for very long due to the poison still in her body to the allergic reaction she had. The black leeches weren't able to get everything because of her own body already reacting to the other poison that made its way into her system.
"Severus?" Potter called out before I began my way up the stairs. Slowly turning to look at him I waited to see what he had to say. "They're going to be alright aren't they?" he asked with a slight bit of worry in his voice. Sighing I nodded my head before heading up the stairs and down the hall to the attic door where Cassie was currently residing.
Slowly opening the door, I peeked in to see her lying on her side still asleep. As I moved closer I could see that her breathing was a bit heavy and she was sweating slightly. Moving closer I placed my hand on her head and hissed slightly at how hot she was. This was the worst thing about magical allergic reactions; they had to run their course. You couldn't use magick to fix them and make them go away. Yes potions helped but only a small bit. It all really came down to if your body and magick could overcome it and get better and stronger.
Looking up as I heard the door creek as Draco slipped in the room and came to stand by me and look at his cousin. "What's wrong with her?" he asked quietly as if afraid to raise his voice to high. "She's having an allergic reaction to the glalog or as you may know it as past sand that was in the veil." I answered him. He looked over her for a second before taking my hand and leaning into me like a small child would when they were scared.
"Will she be ok?" he asked in a whisper. I sighed and pulled Draco into my arms and held him, "Oh course she'll be fine. She's stronger then you think." I whispered as I petted his hair to reassure him. If only Draco knew the fact that even I wasn't sure at this point. Most people who have magical allergic reaction don't usually live past the first week after of the encounter and we're only on the first day so maybe something will change. Hopefully everything will be ok…
-Save me-Hermione Granger-
Leaning back again the end of the bed, I slowly sipped the tea that Ginny brought me as we sat in silence. I didn't really know what to say in this situation. I was tired of talking about all this war and problems, now I just wanted to talk about us and enjoy life before things got worse and all we had to do was run and fight and survive.
"So have you read anything interesting Mione?" Ginny asked as she smiled as she glanced over at the pile of books by my bed. Blushing slightly I looked at the four stakes of books by my bed. "Not really everything is kind of a repeat of something else." I muttered as I dropped another book onto the pile beside my bed.
"Well there's nothing else to do, you won't let me out of bed." I grumbled as I crossed my arms and looked away. Ginny laughed softly as he moved over to sit beside me. "Usually you'd rather sit there and read all day but now you just want to get up and run around." She said as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. Blushing softly as I looked away from Ginny as she buried her face in my hair and sighed.
"I'm tired and now I'm comfortable so night night." She whispered as she cuddled closer against me and soon I felt her breathe even out. Still blushing, I glanced over at Ginny carefully not to wake up. Sighing as I picked up another book and began to read as I ignored the warm feeling that was brewing inside me.
