"Potter was beating up Weasley outside of my classroom." Snape informed Dumbledore.

The headmaster looked curiously at Harry. "Is this true Harry?"

"Yes," He said plainly.

Dumbledore nodded. "And did Hermione take part in this?"

"Not that I saw, but she was in the hall with them." Snape said.

"Thank you Severus, you may go."

"I'd rather stay and find out what this is all about."

"Very well," the old man produced a third chair and the professor sat down. "Now Harry, please explain yourself."

"Ron Crabbe and Goyle have been beating up Draco for the last couple of weeks I believe. I found him in his room today bleeding and almost unconscious."

"We think he's been using a glitter charm to cover it all up." Hermione added.

"I asked him what had happened, he told me then passed out. Hermione and I took him to the infirmary and then I went to find Ron. And you know the rest."

"Why didn't you come to me instead of going after Ron?" Dumbledore asked.

"If someone you loved, was being hurt by someone you hate, would you let another person handle it?" Harry responded coldly.

Dumbledore nodded. "I'm taking 50 points from Gryffindor for your actions and 50 for Ron's, also 100 from Slytherin for Crabbe and Goyle combined. As for you, you'll serve detention with Professor Snape until winter break."

"That's all?" Snape protested.

"What about the others?" Harry asked.

"The three of them will be suspended for one month after holiday, and will have detention with Filch until then."

"Thank you sir." Harry said.

"I don't want to hear about anything like this again Harry."

He nodded and himself and Hermione left.

"You are so lucky Harry." Hermione scolded once they'd left the office.

"Draco could have died."

"But he didn't-"

"What does that have to do with it? I'm not going to stand by and watch while I lose another person I love. If it had been you in his place I would have done the same thing."

Hermione sighed. "You want to go see him?"

Harry nodded.

"Potter," Snape said before they left. The gargoyle guarding Dunbledore's office jumped back into place after Snape exited. "You'll serve your first detention tonight, be in the dungeons by eight."

Harry groaned and the Potion's Professor walked away.

"Harry, it's almost time for you to go." Hermione informed him.

He was sitting in a chair by Draco's bed, the blonde was still unconscious. He was to stay in the infirmary for four days.

Madame Pomfrey had found some internal damage. She planned to operate on it in the morning.

Harry stood and kissed Draco's forehead. "I love you," He whispered before leaving with Hermione.

"You going to be okay?" She asked when they reached the staircase.

"Once Ron's gone and Draco's better."

She nodded and hugged him before they parted ways.

Madame Pomfrey had been able to heal almost all of Ron's wounds, lucky bastard. He left the wing after two hours with the warning that he would be very soar.

Harry knocked on Snape's office door. "Come in." He looked up when Harry entered. "Have a seat Potter, I wanted to talk to you about Draco."

"What about my detention?" Harry asked confused.

"You can restock my shelves (A/N: Does that sound dirty to anyone else?) tomorrow night, I'm more concerned about my god son right now."

"Your-"

"God son. Is he alright?"

Harry nodded, "Madame Pomfrey is operating tomorrow and after that he'll just need some time to heal."

"Operating on what?"

"There was some internal bleeding she's got to stop."

"You didn't know anything about this, did you?"

Harry laughed. "If I did I'd have much more than detention right now."

Snape nodded. "You're excused for the night, same time tomorrow, and the real work will begin."

Harry suppressed a groan in the Professor's presence and left, heading back to the infirmary to spend the night with Draco.

He took his former seat in the chair next to Draco's bed. The blonde was sleeping peacefully. Harry leaned up and kissed him gently.

"I'm not going to let anyone hurt you," he whispered resting his head on Draco's stomach, avoiding his broken ribs. "Not again."
