Draco stared at himself in the mirror grimacing at the scar. A knock came at the door. Draco pulled on his shirt with a struggle.
'Enter.'
It was not the person he had been expecting. When he had first woken up four days ago he had woken to the most beautiful sight his fiancée. She had been asleep her head resting on the bed. One arm curled up underneath her head while the other had been resting not far from his own. His mother had already been awake at the time summoning for a healer. They hadn't left him alone much since he had woken. He had learned from his mother that Harianna had not left his side while he had been recovering. Harianna had taken it upon herself to help him out as much as she possibly could. And as much as he would allow. So he had expected the knock to announce the arrival of his fiancée.
'What do you want Weasley? Did you come to gloat?'
'No,' Weasley looked at the ceiling for a second before returning his gaze. 'Look I know I'm the last person you want to see right now.'
'You've got the right,' Draco snapped.
'Malfoy neither of us have exactly seen eye to eye over the years. Can you give me a second to say what I come to say then I'll be out of your hair.'
'Fine.'
'Thanks for coming to help. Thank you for saving Harry.'
Draco went to interrupt but Weasley holds a hand up to stop him.
'I didn't appreciate the fact that you arrived to help. I said some things that really wasn't necessary and unfair to both you and your family. Also, my mother explained she had been the one to send the message to your family in the first place,' Weasley paused taking a moment before continuing. 'I think for Harry's sake we call a real truce this time. I don't want to lose my best friend over who she chooses to spend time with.'
'Did Harianna put you up to this?'
'Harry doesn't even know I'm here. I'm not exactly in her good books right now.'
'I'll think about it, Weasley.'
'For what it's worth I think you're good for her. I guess you could say you have my blessing. I'm warning you though-'
Draco cut him off, 'You'll hurt me if I hurt her. No chance of that happening.'
'Good I'll leave you to it.'
'Weasley.'
'Yeah?'
'I think I can live with that truce if you can.'
Weasley nodded, 'One last thing you should know. It's not my place to say why though. Just don't mention Harry's Muggle family to her. I'm not the only one in the doghouse,' Weasley said leaving him finally in peace. Well until the smiling face of his fiancée appeared in the doorway.
'Ready to go sweet pea?'
Draco glared at his fiancée. He was going to kill his mother once he physically was able to. His fiancée had spent too much time with his mother recently. Learning all the embarrassing endearments that his mother loved to use for him.
'Oh I'm sorry, do you need some more time or perhaps some help?'
'No thank you. I'm just glad I'm finally getting out of this place.'
'Yes but you're not allowed to do anything straining. Your personal healer won't be very happy with you if you do.'
'Personal healer?'
'Oh yes, I hear she had to clear a very busy schedule. Just so she could help you out over the rest of the holidays.'
'Well, I am Malfoy. I deserve only the best. How do I know this healer is up to standards?'
'Well, she happened to return the favor by saving your life. If that doesn't convince you enough I'm sure we could hire someone else to free up their time.'
'Oh no she has been very helpful to have around. I don't know how I could have managed without her.'
Draco walked over to her wrapping an arm around her waist pulling her close and kissed her cheek. 'Thank you.'
'Just returning the favor.'
