Puddlegum-D- Ugh, my head hurts.... -D-
-H- Ow... -H-
-D- Potter, s'that you? What happened! -D-
-H- Shut up, don't yell… my head still hurts. -H-
-D- Even in my mind, Potter's voice sounds slurry. -D- Draco noted as he moved his arm over his head to shield the light as he opened his eyes. He noticed he was in the Hospital Wing, lying in one of the bed, wearing one of its white garments and something white was slighting covering his vision above his head. He placed a hand on his head and drew it back quickly from the pain it caused.
-D- Bandage -D- Draco's mind told him. He tried to push his self up onto his elbows but his rib cage didn't feel like taking in the weight, so Draco gave up and leaned back into the warm covers again, sighing.
-H- Malfoy... can you remember anything? -H-
-D- No ...-D-
-H- Before you blacked out or something, did you experience a very bad migraine? -H-
-D- No, I'm not sure, I think I did. -D-
-H- After my headache, it felt like I was falling down a staircase. -H-
-D- I think I did fall down a staircase. My whole body is aching. -D-
-H- It felt like I was falling down, it hurt so much but then the pain ebbed away and then.... I blacked out, I think. -H-
-D- Stop talking Potter, your giving me another headache by just listening to your voice. -D-
-H- Then I might as well blabber on just or the sake of it. -H- Harry finally opened his eyes but it was no use, the temporary spell Hermione used on his eyes to let him see without his glasses has worn off. Everything was a big blur of colours to him, but he seemed to recognize the certain smell of the room to indicate it was the Hospital Wing. He suddenly becomes aware of a small moving object on his chest. Its movement was rasing and descending, like breathing. He moved his arm to touch it and it met soft fur and the thing moved slightly and whistled happily.
"Oh its you Dark." Harry smiled at his new pet as it nuzzled sightly at his hand. Harry slapped his other hand at the bedside table for a usual glass of water that would refill it self every three quarters that have been drunk. He sipped at the water and felt fur brush against his face and he could make out the figure of Dark plunging his face into the glass and nuzzled its wet face with Harry's cheek. He let out a laugh before he pushed it gently away. He could hear Malfoy moan in pain to his right.
-D- Do shut up Potter; some people are trying to take advantage of the quiet. -D- Harry rolled his eyes at the ceiling as he saw another dark feature bounding on his bed. He felt Dark move away from his touch and saw the two-blurred creatures pounce on each other.
-H- Krad -H- Thought Harry as they came up close to his face and Krad sniffed at Harry slightly.
"I hope he bites you." came Draco's dull drawl. Harry threw a glare at what he hoped was Draco's face and not vase on his bedside table.
"Remember how you said it could talk... well the book says it can only talk when its in human form. It also says, it needs to bond with you for about two to three or four days; we only had them for a day. So it couldn't have taken your form yet." Harry was sure Draco gave him a scowl.
"Ah, I see you have awaken." Came Madam Pomfrey voice as she entered the room, she went over to Draco first as he cried out as she touch a bruise on his shoulder. Harry flinched slightly as if someone pinched his right shoulder lightly. "Ow! Watch it!"
Harry sniggered as he could tell Madam Pomfrey wasn't bother to take special care with Malfoy as she hastily pulled off his bandages. "Be quite Mr. Malfoy, those cuts aren't that bad."
-H-Cuts?-H- Harry pondered when suddenly he felt a sharp jab into his left arm and cried out in pain.
"Oh Dear." He heard the nurse say before she hurriedly left the room.
-D- What did you cry out like that for? -D-
-H- I felt a needle pocking into me. -H-
-D- That stupid rough nurse just jabbed one into me earlier. I didn't see her giving you one. -D- (I know they don't give needles in the wizarding world, but in my muddled up fanfictional head, they do.)
"What did she mean by cuts?" asked Harry after a moment of silence.
"Krad…" Harry gave an inward smile as he strained to see the ferret. He could hear Madam Pomfrey talking outside with someone, which sounded a lot like Snape.
-H- You hear that. -H-
-D- Yeah, looks like the nurse found out about our mind reading capability. -D- as soon as Draco thought that the Professor came storming into the ward.
"What is the meaning of this, Potter?!" spat the Professor as Harry tried to see where he is.
"The meaning of what sir?" Snape eyed Harry irritated to be repeating himself.
"I said what is the meaning of you being able to feel what Mister Malfoy can feel."
"Wot?!" yelled the two teenaged boys, bewildered.
"Don't play stupid with me Potter, I know you understand what I'm talking about." Said the Professor as Madam Pomfrey tried to push the angry Professor out of the ward.
"Please enlighten me, what is it that I know, which I have no idea about." Asked Harry as he glanced over at Draco, who only shrugged in reply, but Harry couldn't see that.
Madam Pomfrey came back inside and went to a cupboards filled with bottled of every shape, size and colour. She pulled out a pale green vile and walked to Harry and placed it in his hand.
"Drink this, it will let you see clearly until we find your glasses, but it will give you some side effects."
Harry gulped down the pale green liquid and gagged.
"Like what?" asked Draco curiously.
"I'm sure you'll know, the potion was a Puddlegum." Madam Pomfrey smiled sneakily at Draco as he let out a groan as he brought his face into his hands and Madam Pomfrey left the room shortly.
"What? What is it?" Harry asked hurriedly as he noticed the room was starting to become a bit clearer.
"You so wouldn't want to know." Draco grumbled through his hands. Harry eyes-sight was clearing and he could vaguely make out Malfoy's shape, not to mention the numerous cuts and bruises on him.
"I do want to know, since I was the one who drank it after all." Harry could see clearly now and he saw
Draco trying to suffocate himself with the pillow. "What are you doing Malfoy?"
-D- That potion, it makes you go horny over the first voice you hear after drinking the potion. -D-
-H- WHAT?! You have got to be kidding me! Argh, and you were the first one I hear as well. -H- Draco nodded his head glumly as he pulled the pillow away from his face and mouthed three words Harry always hear from the other boy. I hate you.
"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh" said Harry over and over.
-D- You do know that I'm gong to have to be dragged into this as well. -D-
-H- Yeah, well, your not the one who's going to be gay. -H-
-D- Yeah, I'm the one who's going to be stuck with a gay. -D-
"Ouch!" both voices yelled as Krad darted away from Harry as he held his nose. "What's with you ferret anyway, it keeps biting!" When Harry finished his sentence, he noticed the headmaster was standing before him. "Uh, hi Professor Dumbledore."
The old wizard nodded his head at Harry's directions but gave a slight bow at Draco's. "As you two know, you are able to feel each others pain, but I don't think it came suddenly from no where. It must had to do with something else, would you care to tell me?" said the elder while sitting down in a chair he conjured for himself. Both Harry and Draco gave a glance at each other before Harry spoke up.
"Umm, we can read each others mind, Sir. It all happened in potions today-
"Yesterday." Interrupt Madam Pomfrey.
"Yesterday, when my scroll and quill got mixed up with my potion." The Professor nodded his head.
"Ah, yes. Professor Snape mentioned to me what he would be teaching the class the other day, and said that young Malfoy swallowed some of the potion. I think I understand what happened." He got up from his seat before retreating back outside with Madam Pomfrey, leaving the two boys alone.

As Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore walked out, Professor McGonagall greeted them.
"Poppy, was it me or did the ward smell a bit like Puddlegum?" asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, actually I gave it to Potter. I'm getting so sick of having to treat him so very often, and you know how I feel about Malfoy. He was the first to speak, should I give Harry the potion to remove the side affect?"
"No, let's see how this goes." Said the Headmaster.
"So, what do we do about their little problem."
"Well, if I remember correctly, an incident happened like this before along time ago. The two students can feel each others pain, and time to time, they get sudden shocks of pain to their heads when they are far away from each other, and sometimes it could prove critical, such as what happened to Malfoy, apparently he fell down the stairs when it happened the last time. These boys need to stay together before the pain gets worst." Said the Gryffindor's head teacher calmly as Madam Pomfrey listen intently.
"Shall I put them in the same house?"
"No, we'll have to give them a separate room to stay in." said Dumbledore.
"I'll be able to rearrange their classes easily-" but Professor McGonagall was cut short as Hermione and Ron came running up. She nodded at them as they rushed in to see their friend.

"Harry!" called both friends. Harry propped him self on his elbows and tried to shoved Malfoy's ferret off his bed.
"Hey, what's up?"
"What's he doing here?" said Ron as he caught a glimpse of Draco. Draco gave him a wave and a smile, that seemed very similar to this...^_^. Ron snorted and turned his attention away from him.
"Him, um. He uh....-
"Doesn't matter anyway. So what happened, when we arrived in the common room, you were on you knees, like you were gasping for breath or something." Ron sat himself on the edge of Harry's bed and Hermione grabbed a chair.
"Umm, I ."
-H- Malfoy!? Wot do I say? -H-
-D- Why should I help you? -D-
-H- Because.-H- Draco 'huffed' in reply which made Hermione and Ron turn around and glare at him.
"Well, I ...I don't really know, I felt this sudden surge of pain rush through my body and then... I blacked out... I guess."
"You guess!?" said Ron.
"Harry, are you okay now, we we're really worried." Hermione said calmly as she placed a hand on top of Harry's. He nodded in response as Krad climbed its way on top of Harry's stomach again. Dark on the other hand, had gone over to Draco. Hermione noticed the unfamiliar coloured eyes.
"Is that yours, Harry?" Harry merely nodded in Draco's direction as Dark jumped across Draco's stomach and back as he tried to swipe the ferret of him.
"They look exactly the same, just different coloured eyes." Smiled Hermione nervously.
"Wanna know something funny. Their names are each other's backwards. Mines Dark and Malfoy's Krad." Both his friends looked at him funny.
"Please tell me, you didn't name them together?" asked Ron, but Harry shook his head at him. Soon Madam Pomfrey entered the ward and shooed the two out saying that the two boys needed their rest, leaving Harry and Draco alone in their wards.
"So.…" started Draco, obviously not knowing of what to talk about.
"So?"
"Umm."
"Well, is that all your going to say!?"
"Dammit, I'm trying to start a conversation here, but your not making it easier for me are you?" yelled Draco frustrated at Harry.
"Me?! What did I do?"
"Sod off Potter."
"Wha... HEY!? Don't ask me to do things I can't."
"Yes you can, just sod off, it's very easy, all you have to do is get up and sod off."
"Malfoy do you know that another term for sod off is 'jerk off'?"
"Yeah, that's what I'm asking you t-Shut up.... you have a very perverted mind Potter." Draco shifted in his bed and faced Harry with his back. Krad jumped off Harry's bed and wondered over to Draco's and nipped at his hand.
"What?" asked the blond and there stood before him an exact replica of himself. "Hey, you changed already. Allright, now I get to sneak away from class."
"What are you talking about Malfoy?" snapped Harry from the other side.
"Krad just morphed, I told you mines was better than yours." Draco shook hands with the other iced-blue eyed blonde. Krad looked curiously at Harry and smiled maliciously at him and tapped his nose, indicating Harry's slightly bleeding nose, where Krad had bit him earlier. Draco smirked at his ferrets actions. "Catching on well isn't he?"
Draco pointed at Harry and said. "Loser..." and then repeated the process with his self saying. "Legend."
"Los' er'. Le' end'" said Krad as he pointed at the boys with the same voice as Draco, just a bit shy and puzzlement. Draco shook his head and chuckled. "I told you he was smart."
Dark had gone back to Harry and was watching the two Draco's intently. Its purple eyes followed the icy blonde wherever it went, it gave out a high pitched whistle and the blonde turned its head towards the other ferret. Ferret-Draco kneeled beside Harry's bed and looked at Dark, he admitted a low whistle and Dark squeaked back.
"D-Dark." The two boys raised their brows at the ferret-Draco and Dark.
-H- You know, if another Gryffindor was in here, they'll be saying that your such a ferret, that it didn't take you long to understand their calls. -H-
-D- Doesn't matter anyway, cause mines still better than yours. -D-
-H- Will you stop being so immature. Who cares if your is better than mine. -H-
-D- I do, that's who. -D- Harry rolled his eyes at the blonde as Krad transformed back into the blue eyed ferret.
-H- You know, you should leave out the gel in your hair one day... you'll look cuter. -H- grey eyes widened as they clashed with emerald.
"What did you just say?!" shrieked Draco as he heaved himself into his elbows.
"I have no idea..." Harry kept on staring wide eyed at Draco.
"POTTER!?" the blonde yelled.
"It wasn't me, it was the potion!" yelled back Harry.
