To live again
Chapter seven
Ron and Hermione arrived at the Infirmary minutes after Draco and Harry had. The Slytherin was standing back and letting Madame Pomfrey tend to his mate, the other two Gryffindors edged forward and Hermione put a comforting and on his shoulder.
"How is he?" Ron asked looking at Draco who was in his pyjama bottoms and nothing else.
"Bad, I don't believe I let him walk back alone." Draco said mentally degrading himself for being such a complete idiot.
"But you saved him...again." Hermione said before flinging her arms around the veela and hugging him tightly.
"None of this would have happened if he hadn't of been my mate, it feels like I've done this to him...I can feel his pain."
"He doesn't blame you Draco." Hermione said letting the blonde go. "He loves you deep down, where it matters."
"I was thinking that maybe I should just leave him with Joseph and go."
"But wouldn't that kill you?"
"In the end...yes."
"Harry wouldn't want that, he'll want you to stay with him...just, be here when he wakes up." Hermione said giving him one last final hug.
"We'll be back tomorrow, look after him for us."
"I will."
Madame Pomfrey finished her work as the two other Gryffindors left. Harry was badly bruised and deathly pale but he was breathing.
"Potter will be fine, he's asleep, please don't wake him."
"Yes, of course...may I stay with him?"
"If you wish."
Draco squeezed onto the narrow hospital bed next to his mate and kissed his forehead softly as he lay next to him and watched him sleep.
Harry awoke the following morning at dawn; he felt a warm body and looked up to see who it was. Noticing the silvery blonde hair he realised it was Draco.
Harry snuggled up to the veela's chest and it's comforting warmth. His actions stirred Draco awake.
"Harry." He whispered.
"Draco."
"I love you."
"Thank you."
"No problem...do you know...I mean...did ....was it ...?"
"Yes, I remember seeing him and then everything went black."
"Then I'm going to finish this once and for all, he's hurt you to many times."
Draco got off the bed and stormed out of the hospital wing. Harry, knowing full well where he was going, ignored the screams of his abused body got up to follow him.
Madame Pomfrey however had ideas.
"Where do you think your going Potter?" She shrieked bustling over to him.
"Saving you the stress of another patient."
"I don't know what you mean Potter but your not going anywhere."
"If you don't get out of my way Draco is going to kill Seamus, I'm the only one that can stop him...I remember that much."
Poppy sighed, she knew Harry was right but was reluctant to let her patient go.
"Alright but your to come right back here afterwards your still not your best."
"I know thank you."
Harry ran as best he could up to Gryffindor common room. The portrait was hanging open; it had been ripped from its hinges.
Inside in the Gryffindor common room Draco was pinning Seamus to the wall by his neck, they were surrounded by quite a few others, none of which trying to stop the veela, they were all to scared to try.
Ron and Hermione gasped when they saw Harry hobble in, he looked nothing like there friend with the cuts and bruises on his face, however because of the veela bond he shared with Draco they were slowly healing.
The crowd parted to let Harry through.
"Draco, put him down."
The Slytherin looked at his mate pleadingly. "But Harry, he's attacked you three times now, he could have killed you."
"I know, but it'll only cause you more problems if you kill him, do you want us to be together again? Or do you want to be chucked in Azkaban for murder?"
Slowly Draco lowered Seamus to the ground; he collapsed clutching his throat gasping for breath.
"Come on Harry, you still weak we have to get you back to the hospital wing."
Draco picked up his mate in his arms and carried him back to the infirmary where Poppy and Severus were waiting with baby Joseph.
