Dragon's tears

Three

~ 15th February ~

"I wonder what will happen now?"

Draco looked up from his writings.

"What do you mean?"

"This. Us. The War. What will happen now?"

Draco shrugged, "I don't know."

~ 20th February ~

"Have you heard from your father?"

Pause.

"No."

Silence.

~ 27th February ~

"Harry, why did you kiss me that day?"

Silence. Long pause.

"Because I wanted too."

"Okay then."

~ 2nd march ~

"Why do you oppose the Dark Lord?"

"He killed my parents."

"Oh."

~ 5th March ~

"I'm being let out of here soon."

"You've been here a long time."

Silence.

"Do you want to go?"

"No."

"Why?"

Silence.

"Because."

A shared snigger.

~ 9th March ~

"You tucked me in that day, remember?"

Harry smiled, "Yes the 7th of Feb. Want me to do it again Dragon?"

Whispered, "Yes."

~ 13th March ~

"Our last night here."

Pause.

"We could always ask."

"Would they let us?"

"We could ask Pomfrey tomorrow."

Pause.

"Condus-bra, come here."

Harry moved from his bed to stand at Draco's side.

Draco reached up a hand and ran his fingers slowly through Harry's thick black hair.

Harry closed his eyes at the touch.

"Still so cold." He murmured. "Is all of you this cold?"

Whispered, "No."

Harry opened his eyes in shock as he felt Draco's lips against his own, soft and warm. He shut his eyes again and kissed Draco back slowly. Savouring the taste of his lips.

After a while Draco pulled back, a content smile upon his face.

"Goodnight, Condus-bra."

Harry moved back over to his bed.

"What does that mean any way Dragon?"

He asked as he climbed into his bed.

"Its short for, Absconditus Umbra, which is Latin for hidden shadow. You are my hidden shadow Harry, meus absconditus umbra."

AN: some people think that H and D relationship is moving to fast, however I feel that love between to people, whether they be friends or enemies, can take any time, be it a day or a year. H tended and thought about D for the entire time D was in the coma, and D was aware of what H did and said. In short they were both in need of love and affection, and both were willing to give it to the other.
