Physical
By: Trephinia Cealyn
A/N: Alright I admit my last chapter was a bit odd, I mean I just kinda ended it and I was in a strange mood when I wrote it. I knew I was going to have Draco and Harry break up somewhere along the lines and I knew something bad would have to happen to get them to see eachother again but I didn't quite know what kind of bad thing could happen. And then I though, well Harry or Draco accidentally stabs someone, or they stab themself out of Harry's idiocy then that would be better than any random thing happening. Harry's picking up of the dagger was a cry of help he wanted to talk about Draco with someone but he didn't know how because the only two people he could go to happened to hate Draco. So he went with another more extravegant way of getting them to listen and as this chapter will deal with it he will probably beat himself up.
This is the last chapter before the epilogue so a lot of things will come to a head and it could possibly be longer than the other chapters, hopefully.
Chapter 19 | You're Just Too Physical
Harry sat with his head in his hands. He was muttering to himself and from Hermione's estimation that were not very good things, and they were concerned mostly with Harry's intelligence level. Just as Hermione was about to yell at him to shut up the makeshift 'Operating Room' door swung open and Madame Pompfrey stode out, medical robes billowing.
"Mr. Potter," she said coming to a halt in front of him. Harry stood up slowly and winced as if he was expecting a blow. "Mr. Weasley is in very critical condition but we think he should make it, however you were playing a very dangerous game waving a knife around like that."
"I didn't think anyone would get hurt," he mumbled sitting back down in his chair, a mix of relief and dread. What would Molly Weasley say?
Just then the Infirmary door burst open and a very livid Ginny strode through. Draco was right on her trail and although he saw Harry he pretended he wasn't there as he took a seat next to him.
"I was wondering how long it would be before you showed up Miss Weasley," Pompfrey said from her desk. "You cannot see your brother right now, he is sleeping."
"Oh that's okay," Ginny said flippantly, "I just wanted to see Harry." She turned towards him. Harry had never seen he look that way. He backed into his chair as if he were trying to get away from her. "Can I please speak to you outside Harry?" She said in a very bright voice which Harry thought odd but he nodded and followed her outside. Once out in the hallway Ginny erupted and shrieked at him in an incoherent manner for five minutes. Harry backed away, trying to make a run for it.
"You listen to me Harry Potter," she whispered after she had gotten calmed down a little she was pacing towards him as if stalking her prey, "It wasn't enough for you to hurt Draco like that but then you had to go and let my brother stab himself like some idiot! What on earth were you doing with a knife? Everyone knows you would never kill yourself so of course Ron didn't take you seriously! Hary Potter you are in so much trouble with me right now I think I could scream!"
Harry opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off... by thrown herself at him and pinning him against the wall.
"This is what is going to happen. You are going back in there and you are going to talk to Draco. He's ready to talk but he's only going to do it if you talk to him first. And you are going to apologize to him for being a big bloody git! And I don't care if it's his fault, which it is and he knows it, you are going to apologize anyway just because I want you to!" Ginny huffed and then she put her head on Harry's chest, "Is he going to be okay?" She whispered quietly and then she started to cry softly.
"He'll be fine." Harry said reassuringly patting her head akwardly, "Madame Pomfrey just said so."
"Good," she wiped the tears from her face, "Now go talk to Draco."
"Could you just send him out here?" Harry asked quietly.
"Oh I suppose so," Ginny flashed a brief smile that didn't reach her lips and flounced into the Infirmary. A few minutes later she shoved Draco out and slammed the door behind him.
"Draco," Harry whisepered under his breath. He walked over to him and stood akwardly not knowing what to do or say. "Draco I'm sorry, I acted like a complete idiot. I don't want to break up with you, I never have. I'm sorry."
"That was a terrible apology Harry." Draco muttered. He was looking at the floor and Harry thoguht he saw a brief smile on his lips. "But it's accepted."
"Draco," Harry pulled the boy towards him rather roughly and kissed him softly on the top of his head. Draco stayed rather limp in his arms but Harry kept kissing him all over, his neck, his lips and Draco slowly opened them to Harry's touch. They kissed for a few minutes and then Draco pulled away looking kind of sheepish.
"Harry I'm sorry too. It was partially my fault and I never talked to you about anything but I'm ready to talk now." Draco looked back at the ground, "And I've decided that although I love you and I really care about you. We can't be together. I'm sorry Harry." Draco kissed Harry one final time on the lips and then walked away leaving Harry rather stunned and wishing he was the one lying on the hospital bed bleeding to death.
"Don't you walk away from me Draco Malfoy!" Harry yelled after him, "Don't you dare walk away!" He was screaming like a banshee but he didn't care, "We aren't through yet! I promise you that now get back here!"
Ginny was running out of the Infirmary trying to shush him but Harry was still screaming and then finally he collapsed on the ground shaking violently but not crying or screaming. Ginny sighed and kneeled down next to him.
"Harry..." she prodded tentatively. Harry shook his head violently and curled into a little ball. "Harry I'm sorry." Ginny said this very quietly, "I knew what he was going to say. I'm terribly sorry. But don't you see it's for the best."
"No." Harry shouted, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..." he was rambling.
Ginny sighed and stroked his hair, it always made her feel better when she was sad as a little girl so why not Harry, she heard him whimper and she suddenly felt awful. "Harry I'm so sorry. I know how much you cared about him but he was going to be killled. His father knows Harry. His father told him in not so many words that if he kept it up he would be dead."
Harry gulped and slowly sat up, "But there are--he could have, we and oh Ginny..." he laid his head in her lap and clenched his hands in her skirt. Ginny felt rather akward but didn't say anything. "I love him Ginny." Harry seemed to be talking to himself although he addressed her, "I really did, we could have gotten through this, Dumbledore would have given him protection and..."
"Harry," Ginny took a deep breath, "Harry if you loved him all that much why would it have to be Dumbledore giving him protection." She gulped, not wanting to say it but she promised Draco, "Why can't it be you that get protection from Draco? Why can't you join him... join his side?"
"What are you saying?" Harry asked sharply moving away from her.
Ginny sighed, "If you love him that much. So much you would do anything for him. Then you'll go to him. You will become a Death Eater perhaps to be with him."
Harry stared at her. "You are joking. They are evil, I can't, Draco can't!"
"Harry to the sheep the wolf is evil but when you look at it from the wolf's point of view he is only getting dinner."
"So I should become a wolf."
"No, well... if you love Draco... then you don't need my opinion on that."
But Harry had already decided what he would do. He knew in his heart that he couldn't bear to be away from Draco. He knew that it could cost him his life if he went to Lucius Malfoy and asked to be a Death Eater. But if it was all for Draco he could do it. And he would.
Madame Pomfrey eased the door of the Infirmary open. "Ron is up and he'd like to talk to you two, one at a time. Hermione's just finishing up."
Harry stood slowly. "I'll go first." Ginny nodded dumbly. She saw a look in Harry's eyes and she was afraid. She wished she had never said anything.
Harry walked in and saw Ron smiling like an idiot. Clearly not mad at him.
"Jeez Harry that was wicked!" Ron said Harry smiled halfheartedly.
"I'm sorry Ron," Harry said and kept on cutting off Ron, "I'm also sorry that I have to leave Hogwarts. I am going to go and become a--well I'm leaving. I'm going to be with Draco no matter what it takes. I'm sorry."
"Harry-what?!" Ron protested but Harry had run out.
Ginny walked in timidly, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"What did you say to him?"
"I told him if he really loved Draco he wouldn't ask that Draco change his life and live with him, but he would change and live with Draco."
"So you basically told him to be a Death Eater?" Ron demanded.
Ginny nodded feeling really dumb. "I'm sorry."
-There's one more chapter after this and then I need to know if you all want a sequel. I know I'm writing one, just tell me if you want it after you've read the last chapter. I know it took a real twist, and even I didn't see it coming.
