Draco lay on his bed and groaned when he saw the white ceiling. He knew where he was, there was no doubt in his mind of it. He had passed out from pain. He hated how weak he was. He turned his head to look at the door where Madame Pomfrey was standing and talking to…Harry.
He should not be there, Harry just beat him for no reason…he shouldn't be in the same room as Draco. Yet why is it that Draco felt as if he were glad he was there?
Draco turned the other way and stood, he was going to walk over to the back door and try and sneak out, but once he took a step forward his chest felt like it was on fire while being sliced into with a knife. He let out a yelp and collapsed to the floor chocking on blood.
Madame Pomfrey saw and glanced at him as if she wasn't surprised that he was trying to leave. Quickly she took a rag and wiped off the blood, murmured a few cleaning spells then went to go get a potion.
"Now, boy I know you don't want to be here but you must!" She called from inside the closet.
Draco sat up trying to get out of bed once more but she emerged form the closet with the potion and in a quick attempt to stand, he was again in a pile on the floor.
"Oh, dear boy what are you doing out of bed again?" she scolded as she helped Draco to the bed. "Drink this and you will be fine to go."
Draco looked up and sent an evil glance to her. She acted as if it was nothing big. He took the glass, if this will stop the pain now then he would take it no questions asked.
He eyed the foul smelling green liquid. He pinched his nose and started to drink; he chocked on the first gulp and held it in the air for a while. It wasn't the fact that it was bad that freaked him out it was that it actually tastes…good.
He quickly downed the rest of the drink setting the cup down. He started to feel better immediately and started to stand, he hadn't noticed who was next to him, but when he nearly crumpled to the floor again with pain that person grabbed his waist and hauled him back up.
It was Harry. Once he felt the entire potion kick in he pushed away from Harry and walked out of the room.
"Wait!" Harry called.
"What didn't think you got me good enough? Did I not cry out in pain loud enough?" Draco asked not turning.
"You didn't cry at all, why not?" He murmured so quietly he wasn't even sure he said it at all.
He knew Draco didn't though, which was a good thing because he knew it would be a bad idea to make Draco think of why he didn't cry out in pain…
"I am through with this Harry! You…you kiss me then we make up and now you hate me again? WHY?"
Harry began to feel his anger build up, instead of hitting Draco he let out some of his secrets.
"Why? Because I LOVE you and you don't even care." Harry hissed.
Draco stared at Harry with what seemed like a blank expression but inside his insides churned. This is just a joke right? He didn't even know if he love him back...
"What?"
"I said I LOVE YOU, yet every time I get close you act as if you were burned…as if I am not good enough!"
"Why?" Draco croaked.
"I love you because you are the one thing I know I could never have." Harry said as he turned to go.
Just when he was about 3 feet in front of him, walking away fast Draco ponder his thought…did he love Harry too? When he said Harry's name aloud his heart skipped a beat, he knew he love Harry.
"I-I love you too."
Harry stopped and slowly turned to meet Draco's gaze. Harry looked into his steel grey eyes.
Harry took a step forward and tenderly put his lips on Draco's as if he was seeking the real answer without words. Draco kissed him back.
Harry pulled back and looked at Draco again. He then pulled Draco waist closer to his and kissed him passionately on the lips. Harry wrapped his arms around the waist and held the smaller boy so close it look as if they were not 2 separate people but 1 whole person. They completed each other.
From the far corner they didn't seem to notice Madame Pomfrey smiling and go hurrying off in the direction of Professor Dumbledore's office. She seemed excited to tell him about something…
