To say that Draco was shocked was quiet an understatement. He was shocked, surprised, stunned, flabbergasted, dumbfound, and in awe to say the least. As they walked down the hallway, Draco recalled the dream that he had last night.
It was a lovely night. The sky was pitch black. The only source of light was from the stars and the moon. He was outside, standing in the middle of the Quidditch pitch. He had his new Firebolt in his hand, and in the other hand, he held the snitch He look in front of him and saw Harry standing in front of him with his back to him. He remembered the Quidditch match they just had. The deal was that the winner got anything he wanted.
"I won Harry. What do I get?" said Draco.
Draco watched as Harry turned around and faced him. Draco looked into Harry's eyes and was lost in their emerald depths. Suddenly, the distance between them was not there. They were about the same height and they were only millimeters apart. Draco just continued to stare into Harry eyes, until he noticed Harry shifting his gaze. His gaze wondered over Draco face, finally resting on his lip for a few moments until Harry brought his eyes up to Draco again.
As Harry was doing this, Draco's eyes were wondering over Harry's face as well. He took in everything, from the never neat silky jet black hair, to the famous scar, to the glasses on his face, to his rosy cheeks, and finally on his mouth which was slightly parted and just begging to be kissed
"You won. You get to choose." Harry said, waking Draco from his gazing.
"Are you sure?" ask Draco
"Yes." Replied Harry
Draco then closed the rest of the distance between them. He placed his hands on Harry's hips and gently kissed him. Harry closed his eyes and started to kiss Draco back. He wrapped him arms around Draco's waist and pulled him closer. He opened his mouth when he felt Draco's tongue apart his lips. He heard a moan, and he was not sure whom it came from. The started to get more intense and then…
That when he woke up. He was rather angry that he had to wake up then. Not five minutes later or an hour. They reached Professor Marcellus classroom. They had walked in silence. Draco was wondering over the dream and what Harry could have possibly have meant when he kissed him. Draco eventually chalked it up to Harry being very grateful for the outfit and that was it.
Harry was wondering the kiss as well. He was wondering what Draco had thought of it, but he did not want to mention it. Professor Marcellus opened the door and greeted them. They walked into the room and noticed that the professor had changed also. He was wearing a pair of demin jeans, a tight fitting black T-shirt, and black boots. Very simple, but still good. The professor sat them down, and they worked on the essay.
"Well, we better get going." The professor said an hour later.
"How are going to get there?" questioned Draco.
"We are going to floo to Diagon Ally. Then it's just a mile walk from the Leaky Cauldron."
"Good!"
"Okay Harry, you first."
Harry took a handful of floo powder, stepped into the fireplace and yelled the name, 'Diagon Ally,' making sure to say the name correctly this time. He disappeared in a puff of green smoke. Then it was Draco's turn. William followed him.
They arrived at the Diagon Ally, and left through the Leaky Cauldron. They walked out the door and started the trek to the hospital. It took only 15 minutes until they reached the hospital. They walked inside and went up to the front desk.
"Excuse me miss?" William asked the receptionist.
"Why hello there. I'm Savannah. How may I help you?"
"What room is Faith Clementine in?"
"Umm, hold on a second. I have to look it up." She said as she typed into the computer.
"Ah, yes." Savannah said a few moments later. "Miss. Clementine is in room 309. You just walk down this hall, take the second left. That where the elevators are. Take that elevator to the third floor. When you get out of the lift, take a right. Go down that hall, take the third left. Her room id the second to last room on the right." Obviously, the receptionist did not realized how hard the direction where.
"Er, Thanks." Said William.
"Here's the written directions."
"Thanks so much!" said the professor.
"You're welcome and have a nice day."
They followed the directions and in no time reached the room. They knocked on the door, and waited for a reply.
"Come on in." said a feminine voice.
Draco, Harry and Professor Marcellus walked into the room, with the professor in front.
"Oh, Why hello my dear friend! How are you, William?"
"I am fine Faith, I wish I could say the same for you."
"Oh, I'm fine. It is so nice to see you though. How long has it been?"
"About a year now I believe."
"That long? Wow. Now are you going to introduce me to the two younger boys behind you?"
"Of course Faith. I would like you to meet Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy." William said as he pointed to Harry first then to Draco.
"Oh my! Oh how you two have grown! Harry, you have your mother eyes. Draco you remind me so much of Terena."
"You have seen us before?" asked Harry.
"Yes I have Harry. Last time I saw you when you were a baby. The last time I saw Draco was when he was a toddler. Around the age of three, I believe."
"Thanks." Said Harry and Draco in at the same time.
"How come you are here, Faith?" asked William.
"Well as you know I broke my arm, but I broke it because someone decided to hit my car with theirs. I also bumped my head badly. I received many of bruises, and was unconscious for about a day or two. They just want to make sure that I am ok. No other injuries or what not."
"You will be ok soon though, right?" questioned Harry.
"Yeah, just another day or two in this god-forsaken place."
"That's good." Said William
"Hey, I'm just going to run down to the café and grab something to eat. I'll be right back." Said William
"Alright, and when you come back Draco and I can then grab some food too."
"Okay, see you guys soon." William said as he walked out the door.
"So, Faith. I just anted to tell you that Draco and I have found the trunk." Said Harry
"You did! How wonderful!"
"We were wondering if you could tell us some of those heirs you wrote about?"
"Of yes! Of course! Lets see, Tonks is a rather distant heir of Ravenclaw, along with Kendra, though Kendra is a stronger heir then Tonks. I myself am a distant heir of Hufflepuff. My great grandfather was a wizard. Now, come the most important part."
"Important part?" mumbled Draco
"Yes, Harry do you want to know why your parents were attacked by Voldemort?"
"You know?" asked a rather surprised Harry
"Yes, It was because your father was an heir to Gryffindor and a powerful one at that. Your mother happened to be a relative of a founder of another school in Ireland I believe. And Draco, do you want to know about your godmother?"
Draco just nodded his head for her to continue.
"Terena, was an heir of Slytherin himself. Yup, I'll take the looks on your faces that you have added two and two together to get that both of you are heirs too."
"We…?" said Harry
"How…?" said Draco
"WHAT!" they said together
"What's going on in here?" asked William as he walked back into the room.
"Nothing sir!" they said together again.
"Ok… It's your turn to go and grab some food!"
"Ok, thanks professor." Harry said
Harry got up and walked out of the room. Draco followed behind him. It took forever to find the café but the eventually did. They walked into it and sat down.
"Okay Draco. Have you ever had any muggle foods before?"
"No. You can order for me."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Harry ordered them both a cheeseburger, French-fries, two sodas, and two pieces of apple pies.
"Um… Is this any good?" questioned Draco
"Yeah, try it."
"Er… ok." Hesitantly Draco took a bite. "Wow, this is really good!"
"I'm glad."
Draco dived into his food as did Harry. They finished their meal about an hour later.
"I didn't know Muggle food could be so good!" Draco said as they headed back to Faith's room.
"Well, now you do!"
"Um... Harry? I don't remember this hallway."
"I think that we are on the wrong floor. Let us try to find the elevators again. We probably got off too soon."
They walked down the hallway and took a right onto another long hallway. Half way down the hallway, they saw a doctor come out of a room and he went over to talk to a nurse.
"No change in our Jane Doe. It just the same. I don't know what to do anymore."
"Do be discouraged doctor. Something will change. I know it is weird but I know that she can hear us. I know that she wants to wake up it just something preventing her from doing so. I guess you'd call it a women's intuition. The poor girl, and so young too."
"I sure hope she wakes up soon."
"So do I." Said the nurse as she turned around. She walked down the hallway towards Harry and Draco. Draco stepped up to her.
"Excuss me miss. May I ask you how to get to room 309?"
"Oh my! You look just like her!"
"Um… I look just like who?" asked Draco
"A couple of years ago, we received a patient that was in a coma. We have done our best to awaken her. A few rare times she has waken up, was her screaming at the tops of her lungs. Once she would stop, it was only a max of 3 hours before she fell into a coma again. You look a lot like our patient. Would you like to look? You look so much her, I can almost swear that you are related to her."
"Um… sure I guess." Said a quiet puzzled Draco
"Good, come this way, you can bring your friend too. My name is Liz. How about yours?"
"I'm Draco and this is Harry."
"Well, Draco, Harry. This is the room. Tell me if you know her."
Draco and Harry walked into the room, with Draco in the lead. They sauntered closer to the bed. Draco walked the rest of the way to the bed and look over. Harry saw him gasp, and collapsed on the floor. Harry ran over to Draco and held him.
"Draco! What's wrong?"
"Harry… It… is… it's… her. Oh god…" Draco wailed.
"It's who Draco?"
However, Draco was unable to answer. He was crying horribly and was taking in huge gasps of air. Grabbing Draco's Hand Harry stood up and peered over the bed. He was shocked at what he saw. It was the same woman in the pictures and the maid of honor at his mother's wedding. The woman had the same hair and features as Draco. The women lying in the bed was no other then Terena Malfoy.
Sliding down to the floor, Harry held the crying Draco in his arms and tried to sooth him.
