Drac0-aSianGiRL – I might get the chance to read it today, but I'm not sure, and you will have to be patient on who Ron likes, because there is so much, plot to get through in the next few chapters!
Harushi Karasunaki – Glad you love it, and I shall!
Klonschaf14 - Awe, Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, and I know how you feel! I'm so sorry that I am such a slow writer! It kills me too! At least I'm going to keep you entertained with some of my other Draco/Harry fic's, right? I promise you that you will love them all just the same!

Chapter Nineteen - Hospitalized
"Christ, Harry!"
"I know! Isn't it amazing?"
"I can't believe it!"
"I can"
"Well of course you can, it happened to you."
"He's the best thing to have come into my life in the longest time."
"I know," Hermione stated with a grin.
"I can't believe how great I feel, Hermione! I'm floating on water, metaphorically speaking of course." He then giggled uncontrollably.
"So when is Draco going to be here, anyway?"
"He should be here soon."
"Meeting in the tower was a clever idea. The looks of the place could kill; I doubt anyone has been to this room in a long time."
"Yeah, um, no!"
"Sorry?"
"Yes, the place is rather horrifying, but quite a few people come here. It's usually during the night."
"And how would you know that?"
"The marauders map of course. That map comes in handy, I tell you!"
"I see."
"Oh, Hermione, I can't stop thinking about Draco right now. He's on my mind 24-7."
"I believe it!" A stern voice stated, while entering the room.
"DRAKE!" Harry screeched, while jumping to the other boy, "You're finally here! What took you so long?"
"Well, I took my time so you could finish describing to Miss Granger here, everything that had happened last night. And I mean everything."
Harry blushed, "Oh yeah, Hermione…Draco can, for some reason, hear every thought I have."
Hermione stared blankly.
"That's right, Miss Granger. I can hear every little naughty thought that comes from his mind."
"Charming really" Hermione giggled. "But how is that possible?"
"Beats us," Harry stated.
"Any theories, Granger?"
"Yeah. One. You can stop calling me by my sir name. It's Hermione, now. Just, Hermione."
Draco blushed. "Ok…'Hermione.' Any thoughts on the situation?"
"Not a single one. Have you two been to see Dumbledore yet? He could probably help."
Draco scuffed, "That old coot?"
Harry hit Draco on the arm playfully.
"Ouch, what in the bloody hell was that for?"
"Oh, quiet you. That didn't hurt!"
"That's not the point, Harry"
"Well it's my point!"
Draco started to growl playfully, that is until Harry leaned in to kiss his nose, but flicked it instead.
"Now what was that for?"
"For being you!"
"F-for be-being me? Well, I don't like it!" Draco stated with a pout.
"Gods I love you when you are like this!" Harry leapt forward, wrapping his arms around the cold Slytherin.
Draco sulked with his arms crossed in Harry's embrace.
Both boys turned quickly to a red faced, hyena-laughing girl. Hermione had been sitting on the edge of a desk with one hand on her mouth and her other clutching her stomach. She was kicking her feet uncontrollably.
Both boys were looking at her with shocked faces, but they kept their comfortable embrace.
"Her-Hermione, are you…are you alright?" Harry muttered curiously.
She looked up to see two shocked faces and couldn't help but laugh even harder than before. "You two should see your faces!" She muttered quickly before gasps. "You two are positively meant to be. You two are just so adorable. Why didn't anybody see it before?"
The room went silent for a moment, before Harry turned to the sound of his boyfriend's mouth crackling. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. For the first time in Harry's life he was seeing Draco's smile. Not a smirk, but a smile, and with this came a silent laugh. After hearing this Harry had no choice but to laugh along with his best mate, and his new, and hopefully only boyfriend that he would ever have.
After the three students subsided their laughter they sat around a table in the abandoned room. The room had been quite efficient. It had a few beds, tables, chairs, desks, and even it's own kitchen and bathroom. There were no windows, and few lights, but it had a fireplace.
They sat on the carpeted floor by the table, just chatting about anything that came to mind. It was basically a meeting for Draco and Hermione to make amends. Harry couldn't hide the smile from his face. It was no secret that he was amazed with how well they got along. In fact…He thought they could have been dating material, but that would not be possible because Draco was gay…and well, he was his.
As Hermione and Draco spoke softly and gently to one another for the first time, Harry's thoughts enabled him to wrap his arms around the blonde's waste even tighter then before, and more protectively. Draco noticed the sudden change, and wrapped his arm around Harry's neck, for comfort and rubbed at his head gently. He ruffled Harry's hair a bit, and Hermione noticed.
As the two continued to work out their differences, Harry kept to himself. He just held Draco in his lap, happily, and thought about where their lives were going to lead them.
I hope we can remain happy like this for the rest of our lives. I want to stop Voldemort. I want to find out more about Draco, and his family. I want to help Draco as much as possible. I don't care what happened in his past. I want to help him get through all of his pain, even if it is just with our happy memories we make. And more then ever, for the first time in my life, I want to live. I want to live through this war, and I want to live for Draco.
Draco's face sorrowed, and Hermione stopped what she had been saying. Draco squeezed Harry's hand, to cut off his thinking.
Harry blushed, "You heard all that?"
Draco nodded. His faced went down in a bow, and his hair covered his closed eyes.
Hermione kept quite and looked away sadly. She had never seen the blonde so carefree, but saddened at the same time before.
Draco quickly looked up with a small smile, and stated, "I would like that to, Harry"
Harry placed his free hand on the blonde's face, and gently brushed his finger tips on the boys chin; pulling him into a gentle and compassionate kiss.
After about three minutes Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She held her chin up high, and stated sophisticatedly, "You two need to get a room!"
The both breathed heavily, laughing out of their kiss.
"But my dear Hermione, we have one. You're just in it." Draco drawled sarcastically.
"Well, if I'm that much of a problem, I'll just leave." Hermione made to get up.
"No, Hermione. It's ok." Draco stated quickly, afraid that he was losing her friendship before it even started.
"It's ok, Draco. I really do need to leave. I'm expected to meet Ron before breakfast."
"Oh. I see. Then you aren't leaving because of my comment?" Draco asked shyly.
"No." She said quickly. She smiled sadly. How could she have never seen the real Draco Malfoy, before? This scared, fragile, and caring boy. She wanted to make sure from this day on, that her and Harry protected this boy. She only knew of what Harry and Draco himself told her, of his situation, but she felt there was more to it. And she was going to make sure personally that nothing went wrong, for Draco's sake, and Harry's. "Don't worry. We shall see each other soon, Draco. Consider us friends. No, mates." She smiled, extending her hand to his. And they shook on it happily.
Both boys shot up, walking Hermione out.
"Well that went well."
"I'd have to agree"
"I think she liked me more then I thought she would."
"More then you thought she would?" Harry questioned.
"Well of course she would like me. Who wouldn't, with my charm?"
Harry snorted, "charm?"
"Yes, charm!" Draco sneered.
"That's rather cute, Drake! I think we are in some desperate need of a great snog session, right about …now!"
Draco didn't even need to say a word. He attacked Harry with loving kisses on the spot.
Hermione was on her way to meet Ron, thinking about how wonderful her friend's relationship was going. They seemed to have made a great connection over a short period of time. Then it hit her.
A bond. Yes, that's got to be it. Draco can probably hear Harry's thoughts because of a bond.
She noted to herself that she would look into bonds, after her breakfast with Ron.
"Hermione!" She heard a voice yell to her. As she turned, she noticed it was Ron's.
"Where have you been? It's Ginny. We need to go." Ron said quickly, while grabbing onto Hermione's arm.
"Wait! Slow down Ron. What's going on?" Hermione pleaded.
Ron stopped. "Ginny, She is in the hospital, we must go."
"Ok, calm down Ron. I've got to go get Harry, and we will meet you at the hospital wing, ok?"
"Good idea, Hermione. Just do try to hurry."
They both went their separate ways… Hermione went to get Harry, and Ron to see his sister, whom was sent to the hospital, immediately. Ron wouldn't have known if it weren't for Hagrid.
Hermione burst through the door she had just left not to long ago.
"Harry! Draco! No more monkey sex! We have to go!"
"Monkey sex?" Draco questioned.
Harry looked up, irritated at her. "What's the big idea Hermione? And we aren't having, 'Monkey sex' we are just doing a light snog session."
"Not that it's any of your business Hermione, but Harry and I just aren't ready for that step, yet."
"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. We just have to go. Ginny is in the hospital, and I don't know why, but it's an emergency."
Harry leapt up quickly, leaving a blushing Draco on the floor with a slight bulge. "And you don't call this an emergency?"
"What was that Draco," Hermione asked.
"Nothing. I was just mumbling."
"I see. Come on you two, we have to go."
"Ahem, Hermione."
She stopped. "What is it Harry?"
"As nice as the 'we' should go sounds. I don't think Ron and everyone else would appreciate or understand why Draco is there."
"Oh…right. Well come on Harry! Sorry Draco"
"No, it's quite alright. Harry can just let me know what's going on through his thoughts, anyway." He stated, with a slight sigh. He wished he could be there to comfort Harry, while he comforted Ginny.
"True. Oh yes…about the thoughts, I was thinking…do you think it could be a bond?"
"No!"
"Why not?" Hermione asked as quickly as Draco answered.
"Because, like I stated before…Harry and I are not ready for that step, and all bonds are connected through sex."
"I guess that blows off my theory. Alright now Harry, we must leave at once."
"Ok Hermione. Bye, love" Harry said quickly, before leaving Draco alone in the quiet and lonely abandoned room.
Ron stood out side of the infirmary door, waiting for Hermione to arrive with Harry. He hadn't seen Ginny yet.
He gradually remembered some fond memories of how his sister never liked the hospital. She would always cry when their mom and dad took them. He gave a low smile when he thought about how she learned how much the hospital could be fun. He taught her that she could enjoy being there. There were so many toys she could play with when in the waiting room, and if she were a good patient she would receive a lollypop. She began to think that hospitals were fun, until she saw how sick a boy her age had been. She got mom to take her to visit the boy everyday. She saw him till his last breath.
Ron gave another small smile. That was probably when she realized she wanted to dedicate her life to helping people.
Draco, were here.
"Hey mate, what's up with Ginny?
"I'm not sure yet. I'm way to nervous to go in."
"It's ok, Ron. Were here now, so lets all go in together, ok sweetie?"
Were about to go in.
"Hagrid found Ginny lying unconscious at the bottom of the stairs and took her here. Then he found me and told me. He said he would look for my brothers too. I had to find you guys first."
Or maybe not… Ron keeps going on about how Ginny was found.
"I'm sure she is alright Ron. Now let's go in." Hermione said, supportively.
Ok, were going in for sure now.
Draco was now sitting on the floor where he and Harry had been sitting together, while speaking with Hermione. He was listening carefully to what Harry was thinking.
The Gryffindor trio now entered the room and wouldn't have found Ginny so quickly if it weren't for Ron's brothers, Fred and George. They were sitting next to their sister. Their fiery red hair was a signal to where they were.
As the trio came into view of Ginny, they all gasped. She looked terrible.
She looks really bad Draco.
"What happened to our sister?" Ron asked.
"She was up a little while ago. She told us that she fell down the last flight of moving stairs."
"Well that explains the bruises." Hermione chimed in.
Draco, Fred and George say that Ginny fell down a flight of moving stairs. She's really bruised up.
Draco gasped at what Harry had said. He wondered if she was going to be all right.
"Is she going to be all right?" Harry asked.
"I'm going to be just fine" Ginny answered as she stirred awake once more. She held her breath when she noticed Hermione had been with Harry, and Ron.
"Do you need anything, a drink or something?" Hermione asked calmly.
"No. No thanks, I'm just fine."
She seems to be doing well…Good Draco thought.
There was little chatter in the room before Madame Pomphrey entered with a clipboard in hand.
"Miss Weasley, I need a moment with you."
"It's ok Madame Pomphrey, everyone here is family, so what ever it is, it can be said here."
"Ginny dear, I'd prefer to speak with you, alone."
Pomphrey wants to speak to Ginny alone.
Alone. Draco thought.
"Why? What's wrong with our sister?" The three brothers asked in unison.
"Ginny I-"
"What's wrong with me?" Ginny screeched.
"Well dear, it seems…"
"Yes?"
"It seems that you are pregnant, dear."
