Chapter 5 Time To Rest Is Over

September 19, 2005 late at night

Draco, startled, dropped the book he was holding and heard a sleepy grunt from the floor. Dropping to his knees, Draco pushed the book off of Harry and looked at his face. He was so pale, so thin, but he was moving slightly. Damn Dumbledore for his meddling. Draco stared at the curve of Harry's thick lashes and gasped as his eyes fluttered open. Slightly confuse, unfocused eyes stared up at Draco.

"Malfoy?" Harry's voice was slightly hoarse and sounded unused but he got the word out. "Where the hell am I?" Harry tried to push himself up but was still too weak. Draco turned slightly as he heard scrambling behind him, next thing he knew he was pushed aside as Hermione flew at Harry and flung her arms around his thin frame.

"Oh Harry! It's alright, your safe now!" Harry looked up at her.

"I wasn't safe before? Hermione I don't understand." Hermione just smiled and sniffed a little. She glanced up as Ron dropped to the floor on the other side of Harry; Ginny was sitting up, rubbing her head. Hermione cleared her throat.

"It's alright Harry. Things will be a little confusing for a while but we'll explain everything once we get you washed up and feed. Ron, Draco could you two please help me get Harry to the rest room?" Harry looked slightly annoyed at being manhandled and dragged to the bathroom, but was still too weak and tired to complain loudly. He did manage a pretty good glare though when Hermione told Ron to stay with him and help him in the tub. Hermione hugged him again as he glared and then ushered the others down stairs.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Draco sat at the table watching Mione and Ginny run around the kitchen fixing different foods and setting things on the table. They were both smiling like loons and Hermione kept humming loudly. Draco shook his head, they were all insane. There was simple no other answer. They had a might be possessed Harry Potter taking a bath up stairs, an angry Head master watching their every move, Death Eaters still on the loose, and a bowel of smelling potion/blood sitting in the up stairs bedroom and they we're just about to burst with happiness. Draco thought he was going to be sick. Just then Ron pushed the kitchen door open and in walked a moist, tired looking Harry Potter. Ron was holding his elbow securely and watching him like a hawk, just in case. Harry dropped into the seat across from Draco and stared at the food on his plate. Ginny gasped suddenly and took off up the stairs, returning a moment later she was dusting off an old pair of glasses and smiling hugely. Taking the glasses, Harry slid them on and grinned crookedly.

"Thanks Gin. I was sort of worried about eating whatever it is Hermione had cooked unless I could see it first." Hermione gave him a mock scowl and bustled over to sit next to Ron on Harry's other side. "Um, you guys. Does anyone feel like explaining? Cause I have a few questions." Hermione nodded.

"What do you remember last Harry? Try to remember." Hermione shifted closer to Ron, who blushed slightly.

"Well, I ….I remember Voldemort screaming and I remember knowing he was gone, then, well there's nothing really after that. I just remember being cold, and then." Harry paused and stared hard at his plate.

"What Harry? Any little thing might help."

"I remember a voice, a voice I knew. Then pain. The next thing I know, I'm on the floor with Malfoy leaning over me." Harry waved his hand in Draco's direction.

"You should be thanking Draco, Harry. He saved your life." Ginny said quietly. Harry looked up slowly and Draco met those beautiful emerald eyes for the first time in three years. He suddenly felt very constricted. He needed to get up, to move. Just then Harry began to speak.

"I think I really need to know what's been happening. Since when was he 'Draco'? How old are you all? I just, I don't understand…" Harry looked suddenly very tired. Hermione must have noticed as well.

"Come on Harry, let's go lay down. We'll talk to you up there." Hermione glanced at Harry's plate and frowned at the little he had eaten. While Ron was helping Ginny put plates in the sink, Hermione tried to half carry up the stairs. Draco stood and took Harry's other elbow. He could feel the delicate bones under his hand and suddenly felt a wave of sympathy for Harry. 'It must be so hard, so confusing. Hell he just woke up from a three year nap.' Harry leaned gently into Draco's strength as they walked up the stairs.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Once Hermione had Harry tucked into her bed, she had informed him she could very well sleep in a guest room, and she sat down at the foot of the bed and rested a hand on his foot.

"Well Harry, I guess the best place to start is the beginning. During the final battle I honestly didn't get to see much of what was happening to you or Voldemort. But I saw the explosion, as I'm sure half of London did. I remember pushing past Death Eaters and Order members alike to get to you. There you stood, limping slightly, pale and blooding. But you were alive! I walked up to you and told you it was over. But…" Hermione began to look uncomfortable. Draco shifted away from the door frame and stood behind her, gently resting his hand on her shoulder, but he was watching Harry. Because of this he noticed Harry's eyes following his hand to Hermione's shoulder. 'Interesting. I'll have to ask Mione about that later.' Hermione continued. "You ran. I don't know where, some Order members tried to follow you, but you got away. After that everything sort of imploded. People were celebrating, grieving, Dumbledore..." Here Hermione paused again, before carrying on in a strained voice. "Dumbledore set up search parties. They looked every where. Harry it's been three years." Harry looked for a moment like he was finally going to pass out but held it together somehow. "I just recently stumbled upon a reference in a book I was reading, about a creature. A tree spirit if you will, that lives in the woods on the other side of London. I went to the Hogs Head and well I'm not going to go into detail, but I found a man who said he knew the way to talk to this creature. We had to pay him of course, but we found the money. It was only, god, it was only four days ago, Ron and I went to speak with this tree creature. He told us some silly riddle, that was thank heaven easily understood. From there was traveled to Hogwarts, where we found out that Dumbledore had known where you were the entire time. He had put you under a spell to make you sleep, for only god knows why." Hermione shot Draco a look, which he noticed Harry didn't miss. "We brought you back here and woke you up. You know the rest." Harry shifted slightly under the covers.

"What's been happening in your lives, you know, since I went to sleep?" Harry's eyes started to close softly.

"Well, Ron and I have been tentatively dating for the past five months. Draco has finally moved in with us after so long. Ginny is recovering from a leg wound she received during a fight with some Death Eaters." Hermione squeezed Harry's foot at his slightly angry look. "There are still a few wondering around, but nothing organized. Ginny has a new girl friend, Diana Rose. Oh and we're living in Grimmauld Place full time now. Just incase you were confused. All your money and estates were transferred to me, as we planned incase of your untimely demise. And of course we'll have to stop by the Ministry at some point and inform them that you are not dead, and they'll have to do something about that horrible monument." Now Harry looked thoroughly confused. Draco smiled lightly and squeezed Hermione's shoulder.

"Come on Hermione, Harry needs his rest. I'm sure we can continue our talk in the morning. "Hermione nodded and stood. She bent over and gently kissed Harry's forehead before sweeping out of the room. Draco went to follow her when he heard his name softly called. Turning he went back to stand next to Harry's bed.

"Thank you Draco. Thank you for waking me, and thank you for watching over them. Especially Hermione, she won't admit it of course, but she needs someone." Draco smiled as warmth spread through his chest. He answered quietly as Harry drifted off to sleep.

"You're welcome Harry. For everything." He turned and left the sleeping man to rest.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Out side of number 12 Grimmauld Place a shadow shifted as Harry drifted off to sleep. 'Time to rest is over, my Harry. We must finish what we began all those years ago.'
