Chapter 4 – Your Blood

Draco muttered the password and the stone wall entrance to the Slytherin common room slide open. He entered the common room and was surprised to see Xavier hunched up on one of the couches. Draco noticed that his back was shaking at the same moment as a large sob filled the room. 'Xavier,' Draco said softly, 'I'm sorry.'

Xavier looked up startled, 'Draco' he said with savage undertones whilst furiously trying to wipe his eyes.

'I'm sorry Xavier,' Draco repeated.

'What for Draco,'

'Last night. I wasn't in the best of moods'

'True but you've got no need to apologise. I was the one disturbing you. Besides that's not why I'm crying,'

'Then why are you crying?'

'I'm crying because of last night,' Draco absentmindedly pushed the sleeves of his robe down, 'I don't know what you were doing but there was blood on the floor. Dumbledore found out and he thinks I tried to kill myself even though I don't have cuts anywhere on my body. Your blood, my suicide.'

'See I did need to apologise, I know this isn't like my stereotype and that I'll probably regret it but if you need anyone to talk to our anything.'

'Thanks Drac'

'Are you going to be ok?'

'Yeah'

Draco turned to head towards the dormitory as he reached the door he turned back and said 'Oh and one more thing, don't EVER call me Drac again.'

It was a short chapter I know but please review anyway
