Coming Back

Sirius was in for a surprise the next day when he was pulled from helping Remus teach and asked to teach Snape's class. Dumbledore wouldn't even tell him why. On the other side of the school, Draco was in class.

He was sitting next to Pansy in Charms. She had this crazy idea that he wanted her to comfort him. Not like he was paying attention to her "comforting". The only thing on his mind was Harry. Why in the world was he sitting in class when Harry was practically dying and it was his fault? Pansy had her hand on his knee and was running it up and down his leg. Grabbing her hand Draco squeezed till Pansy squealed.

"Draco what are you doing," She hissed.

"Get your hand off of me," Draco demanded. Pansy snatched her hand away and rubbed it. "I'm leaving now, don't follow me,"

"What?" but Draco was already out the door.

"Mr. Malfoy," Flitwick screamed. Draco just kept walking. He snuck around the corner trying to get to the Hospital wing. When he reached it, Poppy was no where in site. He snuck to Harry's bed and took his hand. He started talking to him..

"Harry, it's Draco. I know you can't hear me or maybe you can but I'm sorry. I'm a complete and utter idiot. I should have let you talk, explain but you see I was just scared. I never in a million years thought you would ever love me of all people. I didn't think it was real. I'm sorry, I really am," he was crying now. "You're the only person who's ever said they love me. I guess I didn't exactly know what to do after you said that. And now it's my entire fault and you're going to die and then I'll be left all alone and have to marry Pansy," He squeezed Harry's hand softly. "Harry wake up please. Come back to me," Madam Poppy decided now to come in and just stared at the boy, who was now crying and had his head on Harry chest.

"Mr. Malfoy you're supposed to be in class," Draco's head shot up and he wiped away his tears.

"Can't I stay please, I…"

"No," was her quick answer. "You need to go to class, now,"

"Can I ask you a question then," Draco asked.

"And that is,"

"Is he still alive," Draco whispered. Madam Poppy softened just a bit.

"He is, just barely. But he'll pull through, he is Harry Potter after all," she replied. "Now go to class," Draco complied in leaving but didn't go back to class.

Still another day. (In the world of a coma, Harry's head. They say when you're in a coma you can still think or something, so here's Harry's thinking)

Its strange how the human mind works. It never seems to amaze me how every time you don't want to think about something it always seems to find its way to the front of your brain.

Or how you can go for an hour and more thinking about something…or someone you don't want to think of. And you try to find something else to think of but no matter what you can't get it out of your mind.

Another thing that amazes me is the human heart. How you can be so in love with someone and wonder why he or no one loves you when someone does but you can't believe any one can, does or ever will.

Or how even though it can't really break it can hurt so much that it almost feels like it does. Or even though tears can't fall from your eyes anymore because you'd never allow yourself to cry anymore but your heart seems to cry for you. Making it hurt even more. Making you almost wish it was possible to live without a hearts, so you could just rip it out to end all the pain and torment it causes you.

One thing that used to confuse me was how can you tell when you're really in absolute love with someone. I can now cross that off my list. To love someone is to be willing to do anything for them, loving them for the inside not just the out and just love the plain joy of seeing, hearing or being with that person.

I honestly love Draco with all my heart. I can't believe he would actually love me so I don't know why I even tried. I'll just lay here and die. And then it'll all be over and I'll never have to worry about him, or Voldermort or nothing ever again.

The next night Madam Pomfrey put Harry on a breathing monitor and life support. He was slipping away, she knew, but even if it wasn't her fault, the wizarding world would never forgive her if he died…or Draco for that fact.

Also that night, someone out for trouble, someone that wanted revenge, someone that… was doing this for someone else, snuck in the Hospital wing. That someone disconnected Harry's LS and breathing monitor. Somehow though, Madam Pomfrey got to him just in time and just saved him. Yes that someone was mad but in trouble they were too.

The next afternoon around six, Draco stopped by the hospital wing.

"Yes, Draco," Madam Pomfrey greeted.

"I… I was just… seeing how he was," Draco stuttered. Madam Pomfrey smile lopsided at him.

"It seems," she began. "Someone wants him dead,"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Someone snuck in here and unplugged his life support,"

"Why's he on life support. That muggle stuff,"

"That muggle stuff is just barely keeping him alive. That idiot of a person just put him in a deadly state. Not to mention he already was bad enough as is," Draco was beyond mad now. He begged Poppy to do her best, like she wasn't, then left to find one of his two suspects.

First, Ron Weasley. Draco found him reading in the library. He walked over to the boy and deliberately stood in his light.

"May I help you," he asked glaring at Draco.

"Yeah I think you can,"

"Forgive me if I ignore you but I have better things to do then listen to your complaining," Ron went back to his work. Draco snatched the book closed. Ron stood up and grabbed Draco by the shirt. "If I'm not mistaken your little boyfriend or should I say X, isn't here. So I'd advise you sod off, now,"

"You would know the outcome of our relationship wouldn't you. You can't stand that I had him and you didn't," Ron's gripped tightened on Draco's shirt. "I bet so mad, you'd try to kill him,"

"What are you talking about, Malfoy,"

"Someone disconnected Harry's life support. I'm betting that someone was you,"

"Awe, isn't that cute. You're trying to play Sherlock Homes. Well, sorry but I wasn't in the hospital wing last night. I was in the library till 11:00, you can ask Madam Pince because she was here," Ron dropped him. "Now if you don't mind beat it," Draco just stood there. "I said scram before I make you," Despite himself Draco left. Outside the library he found Blaise.

"Where you just in there talking to Weasley,"

"Yes," Draco answered as if it was the most common thing in the world. "Did you know someone cut Harry's life support last night?"

"You're kidding,"

"No but Weasel says it wasn't him, so now,"

"You're looking for Pansy,"

"What about me," both boys turned to see Pansy walking up behind them. "Did you finally realize you love me and not that idiot Gryffindor," Draco smiled and decided to play off that.

"Pansy you love me right,"

"Of course I do,"

"You do anything to have me right,"

"Um…yeah," she looked at him weirdly.

"Including killing Harry,"

"WHAT!" Pansy explained. "NO!"

"Why do I not believe you," Draco glared.

"I wasn't even near the hospital wing all yesterday. I was with Millicent,"

"Doing what," Blaise asked.

"Getting Gregory and Vince back for gluing us to our chairs in charms. If you don't believe me go check. We made it so anything they eat, they'll throw up,"

"Fine, go away then," Draco was mad now. He stomped off with Blaise. "This is stupid. One of them is lying or neither is lying or they're both lying,"

"How about you come with me to go see Hermione maybe she can help,"

_ _

"You know I envy you so much Hermione," Lavendar stated. "You and Blaise make such a cute couple," At that moment Neville came down the stairs. He looked quite annoyed.

"Which one of you finished my shampoo," he was talking to Dean and Seamus.

" I said,"

"We heard you," the two in question were playing chess. "And I didn't use it," Dean added. "I didn't wash my hair,"

"Seamus, " Neville glared.

"I… was up with Ron all night. We didn't go to bed till 12. I never took a shower," Seamus replied.

"So what did my shampoo up and walk away,"

"Maybe," Dean replied. Neville huffed and stomped back upstairs.

"You use it didn't you," Seamus asked.

"Just a little," Dean smiled. Hermione rolled her eyes at her housemates. A knock on the door indicated that Blaise was there. Hermione waved bye to Lavender and headed out. Blaise gave her a quick kiss hello.

"Hey Draco," Hermione greeted. "What's wrong," she added. Draco didn't answer and just kept walking.

"Someone disconnected Harry's life support last night and he's bent on finding out whom,"

"Who would do that," Hermione gasped. They stooped under a tree and sat down.

"Ron or Pansy but it seems like neither,"

"Which is totally pissing me off," Draco snarled. "There's got to be some clue as to who's lying,"

"Tell me, what you have and maybe I can help," Hermione suggested.

"Okay," Draco agreed. "Pansy says she was with Millicent all day thinking up pranks on Vince and Greg,"

"Who,"

"Crabbe and Goyle," Blaise whispered.

"OH,"

"And Ron said he was in the Library till eleven thirty,"

"What," Hermione exclaimed.

"I said…"

"I heard you," Hermione interrupted. "But I'm not sure what you said was right,"

"Why what do you know," Draco stared her down.

"Seamus said that he and Ron were up talking till twelve," Hermione explained. Draco looked at her with a thoughtful expression.

"So one of them is lying," Draco concluded. "Where's Seamus right now,"

"In the tower,"

"Give me the password,"

"Draco,"

"Please, Hermione this is a matter of life or death… for Harry," Draco was on his knees now.

"Lions rule," Hermione muttered. "I can't stand to see you grovel," Draco beamed and kissed Hermione's hand and ran off. At Gryffindor tower, Draco said the password and entered the room. To his benefit only Seamus, Dean and Ginny were left in the room. Ginny was sitting in Dean Lap reading, which proved the rumor that they were dating and Seamus was pacing.

"Something wrong Finnegan," Draco asked. Ginny's head shot up and she was wondering first how Draco had got in and the second where was Hermione.

"What are you doing in here, Malfoy," Seamus replied.

"Just looking," Draco smirked. Sure he was a bit…maybe more scared of Ron because he now had a connection to his father but Seamus he could still scare the crap out of. "I was wondering where you were last night,"

"Why should I tell you," Seamus glared. Draco approached him and grabbed his shirt. He vaguely saw Ginny sit up.

"Because I will gladly hurt you," Draco hissed. Seamus gulped loudly. "Now tell me,"

"I was out all night,"

"With,"

"With Ron,"

"Did you go anywhere," Draco asked.

"We…uh… went for a walk," Seamus squeaked. Draco glared. That was all the knowledge he needed. He dropped Finnegan and left. Back outside he had to break up Hermione and a very now pissed of Blaise's snog session.

" I have concluded that Ron lied,"

" Okay, "Blaise replied.

" You know there is a spell you can use to see who touched Harry's life support at a specific time," Hermione suggested. "You just have to pick a person to reveal the spell on. If they did it, your wand will glow red and so will they,"

" For once I am so happy that you're the smartest witch in Hogwarts," Draco smiled. He was off again. At 7:45 he reached the hospital wing. He breathed when Madam Pomfrey wasn't there and Harry was still alive. He casted the spell Hermione told him to and added the time. Then, not before kissing Harry's hand, Draco left. Again to his luck, he found Seamus and Ron. Draco walked along the wall in the shadow and muttered the spell but missed Ron and hit Seamus. Something though still happened, Seamus glowed bright red. Draco clasped his hand over his mouth before he mad a sound. He waited for the two to leave, then ran back to Hermione and Blaise. Halfway there, he ran into them. They were laughing but stopped when they saw him.

"Let's go to Harry's room," Blaise suggested before Draco could talk. They walked quickly and reached the room. All three hadn't been in the room since Harry's incident as it was now called and entered slowly. Hermione and Blaise sat on the couch and Draco on Harry's bed. The two just stay and let Draco take everything in. He pulled the pillow to him and smelt it a bit and after a few… a lot of tears…and hugs from Blaise, Draco calmed down and started to talk.

"I used the spell," he started. "But,"

"There's always a but," Blaise muttered.

"It didn't hit Ron but Seamus,"

"And," Hermione egged him on.

"He started to glow red," Draco whispered. Hermione eyes bulged.

"What," Hermione jumped up. "Seamus,"

"Hermione calm down,"

"No," she screamed. "I can't believe him. How could he do this? Both of them,"

"I knew you'd be like that," he said. "It doesn't matter though and I really don't care,"

"But Draco," Hermione persisted.

"Hermione, I just want him back," Hermione had nothing to say for once. They left Draco there after a while. Draco fell asleep curled around Harry's pillow. That morning around nine, Draco snuck to the Hospital Wing.

(Italic is Harry's thinking and actions)

Draco didn't know what to do. All he could see was Harry lying there. He was pretty much dead and it was his fault. He did this too him. He killed him. He did the only thing he could think of… something he'd been doing since he was a little kid and always made him feel better…well maybe expect when he was cutting himself but… he didn't have his razor so this would do.

" It's not that I can't live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day you said good-bye,"

"Huh, I can hear," it was Harry. "That voice, so soft, so loving…so familiar,"

"If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holdin' you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew,"

" Tell me, if you knew what," Harry could feel the voice reviving his near dead body.

"The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart,"

It was as if each word added one more beat to Harry's heart. He wanted so much to touch this person.

"What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart,"

The feeling in Harry's muscles returned, he slowly started to turn on his side.

Draco had his eyes closed now and let his voice wave over Harry.

"I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life,"

Harry's breath quickened. "Touch," he thought. "I have to touch,"

"Let me prove my love is real
Make you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl (boy),"

If someone walked in now they'd get the shock of their life. The beautiful, melodic, alluring voice of Draco Malfoy would lure them in and to see Harry lying on his side after being pronounced dead would scare anyone shitless.

"The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do to get to you
And find a way back to your heart,"

Soundlessly Harry moaned. "That voice," his mind screamed. He licked his lips and certain part of his body made it's self-known.

"Give me one more chance
To give my love to you,"

"Give me it please,"

"Cause no one on this earth
Loves you like I do,"

"He loves me…oh god," Harry was on his side completely now. His eyes refused to open yet but his hand continued to seek, want, need…

"(Tell me)
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart,"

Harry moaned louder now and if Draco hadn't been so into his singing he would've heard him.

"I'd turn back to time
To make you mine,"

"Turn it back already,"

"And find a way back to your heart
I'd beg and plead,"

" I'm begging here,"

"Fall to my knees,"

Draco fell to his knees

"To find a way back to your heart
The word to say,"

"I love you,"

"The road to take,"

" I need you,"

"To find a way back to your heart,"

Almost there, Harry's hand was mere millimeters from it's destination

"What can I do,"

" Fuck me,"

"To get to you,"

" NOW,"

"And find a way back to your heart,"

Draco, now finished was standing to leave…more like run away, when a hand stopped him by grabbing his. He screamed and turned around….

A/N: My cliffies so suck. It's just me but I don't like to leave you guys in the dark it's just not me. You're all so wonderful though. I love to read your reviews. I read every single one and they encourage me to write everyday. It's for you all that I write. So please continue to review and I'll continue to write. This is the absolute longest chapter I've written ever. I love it though. The next chapter Harry finally gets in Draco's pants… not entirely what you're thinking but Pun intended.

BTW… the song is Back To Your Heart by the Backstreet Boys…don't ask ok.
