Chapter 2.
"It's been two weeks now Hermione and he hasn't even so much as opened one eye," Ron whispered.
"I know, it must have been some hit. I really do hope he wakes up soon; I'm getting really worried now. And his missed so much work too," replied Hermione.
Ron just rolled his eyes at her and turned back to look at Harry. A few minutes later Madame Pomfrey came over and asked them to leave, as she had to check Harry over to make sure that he was ok. After saying their goodbyes they left only to bump into Draco. Surprisingly enough Draco didn't insult them he just walked straight passed them with a weak smile at them and then carried on into the hospital wing.
"Is it ok to see Harry?" Draco asked Madame Pomfrey nervously.
"Yes. I think his coming round too," she replied.
"Really?! Well in that case I don't think I'm the person he should wake up to. I'll be back later."
"No, I think he could do with a friendly face. Go on, his just in there," and she pulled Draco in the direction of Harry's bed and then left.
Draco sat down on the chair next to Harry's bed. For a few moments he just sat there staring at Harry and then out of the blue Harry started to open his eyes. Draco jumped up and out of the chair, he was just about to leave when he felt Harry's warm hand on his arm. Draco slowly turned around only to meet Harry's gaze. Man his got sexy eyes. Draco thought to himself.
"Did you come to see how I was or just to stare at me?" Harry asked with a slight grin on his face.
Draco returned the smile and slowly sat down on the chair. Harry still had a hold of Draco's arm and this sent a weird sensation through his body. Touching Draco shouldn't feel this good. And since when was he Draco and not Malfoy?! Little did Harry know that Draco was thinking along the same lines as him. There was an awkward silence between them both and then Harry decided to ask Draco a few questions.
"How on earth did I end up here and how long have I been here?" Harry asked.
"Well, you got knocked out by a bludger at the Quidditch match. You fell off your broom, I managed to catch you before you hit the ground and you've been here for two weeks now," Draco replied.
"Oh, so I guess you're here to gloat about saving my life? If you are I don't want to hear it," and with that Harry took his hand off Draco and looked away from him.
"I didn't come here to gloat and that's a nice way to say THANK YOU to someone who SAVED you life!" retorted Draco feeling rather hurt by what Harry had said.
Harry sighed and turned to look back at Draco. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that," Harry paused for a moment. "Thank you Draco."
"That's ok. Anything for a friend," replied Draco.
Harry looked at Draco rather stunned at the last thing he said. "Since when did we become friends?" Harry asked.
"The truth is Harry I hate fighting with you. I just want to put it all behind us and start fresh. I'm nothing like my father and the thought of Voldemort scares me. Do you know what my father wants me to do? He wants me to take the dark mark and work for Voldemort. I don't want to and I wont let them get me either!" There was a mixture of hate and fear in Draco's voice as he spoke of Voldemort and his father.
"Don't worry Draco, as long as we're friends I wont let them get you," Harry reached out and held Draco's hand at that point. "I promise you that," at that Draco gave Harry a very weak smile.
(Back in Gryffindor common room Hermione and Ron were deep in conversation.)
"Do know what I think? I think Draco has a crush on Harry. I mean everyone knows that his gay and so is Harry."
"So what! That don't mean that Harry wants to get with Malfoy, does it?" Ron asked.
"I've been watching them both over the years and it's so clear that they like each other. But now it's up to them where they go from here and if Harry wants to be with Draco then so be it. As long as his happy then I'm happy," replied Hermione.
"I'll be happy for Harry if his happy but Malfoy best treat him well other wise he'll have me to deal with!"
"Ron lets forget about that for now ok? Come here you, we've got some time alone so lets make the most of it," replied Hermione with a twinkle in her eyes.
(AN: Ron and Hermione have been dating for three years now.)
(Back in the hospital wing with Harry and Draco.)
"I should be going you need some rest."
"Will you come and see me again please?" asked Harry.
"Sure, I'll be back after dinner," replied Draco and without thinking (again) about what he was doing he bent down and kissed Harry on the lips. He soon snapped out of it and pulled away, he blushed and then walked straight out of the hospital wing.
I can't believe Draco just kissed me, but God did it feel good. Harry thought to himself.
You idiot! What did you do that for?! Harry's going to hate you now! Yeah but his lips were so sweet, they were almost good enough to eat. "Snap out of it!" Draco shouted out aloud.
(Dinnertime in the Great Hall.)
Draco noticed Hermione and Ron walking over to him and he felt somewhat uncomfortable with this.
"Are you going to see Harry again?" Hermione asked.
"Err... I don't think so," replied Draco.
"Look, we know what happened between you and Harry coz he told us and...and we both think you should go and see him otherwise you'll break his heart," Ron commented.
"Do you know if...if he likes me in that way?" Draco asked.
Ron and Hermione both looked at each other and then turned to face Draco with big smiles on their faces.
"Well I think the only way to find out is if you ask him yourself. Don't you think?" Ron asked and then smiled at Draco. "Come on mate, go and see him," and with that Ron pulled Draco out of his chair and led him to the hospital wing and with one last smile at him Ron left Draco and returned to Hermione. Draco slowly walked up to Harry's bed but Harry was fast asleep. So Draco decided to sit down and wait for Harry to wake up.
"God Harry, you look so sexy when you're asleep," Draco though out aloud.
"Mmm...well you're not so bad yourself," Harry replied sounding very sleepy and slowly sitting up in his bed.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Draco asked.
"No you didn't. By the way...I told Ron and Hermione about are little chat and the...kiss. You don't mind do you?"
"No I don't. Harry you know...you know I like you right? [Harry nods] well, if you feel the same way about me I was wondering if...if you..." Draco couldn't finish what he was trying to say but Harry knew what he was getting at and he just answered that question.
"Yes Draco, I will," said Harry with a smile that reached his eyes.
"Do you mean it?" Harry nodded and before he knew it he was snogging his new boyfriend, Draco Malfoy.
