Chapter 5
Harry opened his eyes to find himself in the infirmary. A low groan escaped his lips as he tried to sit up. His body didn't want to work. He turned his head to the side to see Draco sitting beside his bed, asleep.
"Drac." He whispered, reaching towards him.
He opened his silvery-grey eyes, "Harry." He smiled, "Glad to see you're still alive."
"Yeah, me too. What happened?"
"I went and told Snape what happened, he in turn told Dumbledore. He came and pulled Quirrell off of you. Apparently they barely made it in time. Your pendant was glowing and I think Dumbledore wanted to take it away but Snape was there so he didn't." He said with a smile, "Here, you need to put it back on."
"Can you help me?"
"Of course." He said, putting it around his neck, "There." He said before looking towards the door.
Dumbledore walked in, "Harry, I see you're awake." He said with a smile, walking over to his bedside.
He nodded, "Very much so." He replied softly.
"It was very brave what you did but I don't understand what you were doing there in the first place."
"We followed Professor Quirrell." He replied simply, fingering his pendant, it had a calming effect on him, just having it against his skin, "We were walking past the corridor and saw him go in. You did tell us it was off limits at the beginning of the term so we thought we'd follow him to see what he was doing."
Dumbledore seemed to accept that answer. He looked down at the pendant Harry was busy fingering, "Might I ask where you got that Harry?"
"It was a Christmas present." He replied.
"May I see it?"
Harry shook his head, "No because you'd want me to take it off. It protected me down there and I'm not taking it off."
Dumbledore sighed but nodded, "Alright Harry." He said with a smile, his periwinkle eyes twinkled, "When you feel up to it you can return to your dorm."
Draco hadn't moved from Harry's side and he smiled once Dumbledore was gone, "I have no idea what his problem is. I don't get why he wants your pendant so bad."
"Me either but I don't really want to find out. I feel safer with it." He paused, "Drac? Can you help me up? I don't want to stay here anymore." Draco nodded and helped his friend up, "How long was I asleep?"
"A couple days, it's getting close to the end of the year."
"Great. At least I didn't miss the end of year feast."
Draco chuckled as Harry slipped on his robe. Together they slowly made their way down to their common room. The moment they were inside Draco took Harry to his bed and laid him down.
"Now stay put, understand." He mock ordered.
Harry chuckled, "Yes sir." He laughed.
Draco laughed and shook his head, "We'll go get dinner in a bit, you get some rest."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright. I feel better though."
"That's good. In a couple weeks it's the end of term."
The weeks passed and soon it was the end of term. Their finals were done and it was time for the points to be tallied and their last dinner at Hogwarts. Slytherin won the house cup by quite a bit. The train trip back was uneventful. Harry was looking forward to spending the summer with Draco. When they got off he was going to go with Draco and his parents, hopefully the Dursleys wouldn't care or wouldn't be there. Lucius greeted them as they stepped off the train. His pale hair flowed down his back. He smiled lightly at the two boys as they got off the train. Harry gave a brief smile back, his pendant hanging outside of his oversized shirt. He swallowed hard as he noticed his Uncle Vernon waiting for him.
"What's wrong Harry?" Draco asked, following his gaze, "Is that muggle your 'caretaker'?" He asked in contempt, by the time he spoke they were already by Lucius.
Lucius looked over as well, scowling, "I'll be back in a moment boys, get your trunks and wait for me." He said before walking over to the fat muggle.
Harry and Draco got their trunks before waiting for Lucius. Uncle Vernon looked petrified by whatever Lucius was saying to him, not that Harry minded in the least. His face was nearly purple as he puffed himself up, trying to intimidate the pale wizard before him. Lucius just laughed and said a few more words to him before returning to the waiting boys.
"Let's go." He said. Harry looked from his uncle then back to Lucius, "Well Harry, are you joining us?"
Harry nodded and smiled. With that the three of them set off, "Father, we should take Harry to get some new clothes, he can't go running around wearing that." Draco stated, referring to Harry's clothes.
Harry blushed and looked down, embarrassed, "It's perfectly alright Harry. We'll get you respectable clothing, for now why don't you put on the robe Draco gave you." Lucius said, ushering them into an expensive muggle car, "That can wait until we've arrived at Daigon Alley."
The spent the rest of the day shopping, getting Harry a completely new wardrobe, "We'll come back after you get your letters for supplies." Lucius said as they left the store.
"Lucius?" Harry asked as they walked through the streets.
"Yes?"
Harry swallowed hard, "I don't think Dumbledore took the stone from me, I don't think he even knows I have it."
Lucius scowled, "What stone?"
Harry bit his lip and whispered, "The Sorcerer's Stone."
Lucius raised an eyebrow, "Well, let's not tell him then. If you would like I can put it in my safe when we get home."
Harry nodded, "Yes, please."
He nodded, "It's settled then. Let's go home."
