Love, By Accident: Recovering
By the time Harry woke up the next morning he was lying in a bed across from Draco, who was sitting up, wide awake.
"Hey," He got up and walked over to Draco. "How are you feeling?"
Draco shrugged and pulled Harry down for a kiss. "Wishing I had told you about all of this." He said. Harry smiled. "Hermione was here earlier, said you kicked Ron's arse yesterday."
Harry laughed. "Just a little." He sat down on the edge of the bed. "When was 'Mione here?"
"Couple of hours ago, before Madame Pomfrey operated."
"She already did?" Draco nodded. "What time is it?"
"Almost lunch. Dumbledore said to let you sleep. Granger's bringing our homework later."
"Oh," he sighed. "I have detention with Snape until holiday."
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I-"
"Shh," Harry put a finger over Draco's lips. "Let's just forget this ever happened." He yawned and lay down next to Draco closing his eyes.
"Good afternoon Draco."
"Severus," Draco responded as the Potion's Master walked over. He looked rather disgusted that Harry was sleeping next to the blonde. "You remember Harry, don't you Sev?" Draco smirked.
Severus laughed bitterly. "How are you feeling?" He asked.
"That seems to be the question of the day."
"Ah, well, I've got another. Why would you let someone do this to you? I thought Lucius raised you better."
"He did," Draco sighed. "I was afraid if they didn't hurt me, they would hurt Harry. You know how love goes."
"So you really are in love?"
"I wouldn't be lying here if I wasn't," Draco smirked.
"Good point. But I thought after Marylyn-"
"That was a long time ago."
"Two years Draco."
"Just because you don't like Harry doesn't mean I'm going to stop. And Marylyn was nothing compared to this."
"She was obviously something to make you swear off love the way you did."
Draco sighed, "I'd rather not talk about this. Besides, it's different with Harry...it's real."
Severus nodded. "Well, don't let anything I say change your mind-"
"I won't."
"Is Potter joining you at the Manor?"
"Yes...and I'd prefer it if you called him Harry."
"And I'd prefer it if I didn't have to call him anything." Draco glared at the older man. "Fine...only when we're not in school though."
"I guess it's a start." Harry stirred a bit but was still asleep. Draco put an arm around him.
"I'll be coming a few days before Christmas to take you to see Lucius." Severus continued.
"I'll see if Harry wants to go."
"Do you think your father would like that?"
"He supports my decision."
"We could go in like this all day-"
"And I would win-"
"But I have classes to teach, and the last thing I want to see is Harry Potter lying in the arms of Draco Malfoy."
"Get used to it." Draco called as Severus left.
Hermione showed up with lunch a little while later. She smiled at the sight in front of her. "You two are so cute," she cooed setting the tray of food down on the table at the end of Draco's bed.
"Can I fix you up with someone?" Draco asked.
Hermione was a bit surprised. "What?"
"Well, Harry mentioned that you liked Ron, and now, well I hope you don't-"
"I don't," she cut in.
Draco smiled. "And I have a friend that has sort of, admired you from afar for a while."
"Wait a second," Hermione stopped him. "You have a friend?"
Draco threw a pillow at her. "Yes you prat. Now can I fix you up or not?"
She thought for a moment. "I guess...but if I don't like him-it is a him, right?"
Draco laughed, "Not everyone I know is gay 'Mione, yes, it's a bloody 'him'."
She smiled, "Okay. If I don't like him then I'll end it then and where ever we end up being."
"Alright, now I just have to get out of here and back to civilization."
"You're supposed to stay in bed till Saturday." Hermione reminded him.
Draco groaned.
"Here," She shoved a plate in his hands. "Eat." She took a seat at the end of his bed and took some food for herself.
"Should we wake him up?" Draco asked, nodding towards Harry.
Hermione shrugged, "He probably needs to eat something."
"But he's so cute when he's sleeping," Draco whined.
"Be that as it may, it's starting to scare me how well we're getting along."
Draco thought for a minute. "Harry," He said, shaking him gently.
Hermione laughed.
Harry yawned opening his eyes, then he wrapped his arm around Draco's chest and buried his head in the blonde's night shirt.
"Ow, broken," Draco cried.
"Oh crap," Harry jumped up. "I'm sorry, I forgot!"
"Calm down Harry," Hermione said, handing him the rest of their lunch.
"How long have you been here?" Harry asked.
"Long enough to have a conversation with Malfoy, and be scared because he called me 'Mione." She smiled.
"You did?" Harry turned to Draco.
"No!" Draco protested.
"Yeah, it was frightening."
"You guys are just going to have to admit that you've become friends." Harry said.
"That's not true!" Draco called.
"No, it's not!" Hermione agreed.
Harry just shook his head and finished his lunch.
