Chapter nine:
Harry opened his eyes slowly and stared up at the hospital wings ceiling. He knew the atmosphere better than anyone.
"Now just calm down Mr. Malfoy let me call your father and let him know you are okay--" Harry heard Madame Pomfrey snapping back as Malfoy opened his mouth to continue arguing.
Harry strained his neck to see Draco. He was much younger looking now. Draco's eyes caught Harry's and this time neither of them smiled.
"Drink this" Madame Pomfrey shoved something bubbly and green into Harry's face.
"Oh sick" Harry said after he finished the liquid a look of disgust on his face. He heard Malfoy chuckle.
"Not so fast Mr. Malfoy you're next" Now Harry was the one laughing.
"Are you both feeling okay?" She said examining Harry's face.
"Yeah" Draco drawled.
"I feel fine" Harry said.
"Can you go down to Dinner? It starts in about an hour" She said.
"Yeah, nothing is wrong with me" Draco said standing up and pulling his robes on. Harry did the same as Madame Pomfrey checked them over one last time.
"I've informed the staff, they are awaiting your arrival" She shuffled away. Draco left the room shortly after, Harry ran after him dumbly.
"Draco- what in the hell just happened?" Harry said trying to catch up to his boyfriend.
"I don't know" Draco replied staring straight ahead of himself.
"Well are you just going to act as if nothing happened then?" Harry asked. Draco didn't reply.
"You just said you loved me and now you're just ignoring me?" Harry said his face very red with anger.
"Look, I do love you Harry" Draco whispered, his feet stopping.
"But..." Harry said and they fell back into step with each other.
"You know we cant do this" Draco said reaching the great hall and turning toward the smiling slytherin table.
Harry stood still for a moment before getting tackled by half the Gryffindor table.
"So you don't remember a thing?" Ron said as they trudged up the stairs to the boys dormitories.
"No..." Harry lied.
"It was bloody crazy, all the sudden you and Malfoy were out. You should have seen Snapes face. Hermione and I sat with you all the time. Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. You know Snape, we had bloody loads of homework. You're lucky you missed it..." Ron rambled as Harry pulled on his cotton pajama's and snuggled into his bed alone.
"Night Harry" Ron said yawning.
"Night Ron"
The next day Harry walked through Hogwarts miserable and tired. He hadn't slept at all last night due to the return of Neville's snoring.
Fuck. Where am I going? If I go this way I shouldn't run into him...I hope I don't ever have to see that bloody idiot again. He just doesn't get--
"Harry" someone hissed from behind him. They repeated his name for a second time.
"What?" Harry turned around angrily facing no one other than, Malfoy.
"C'mon" Draco grabbed his hand as he had the day before and led him to an empty room.
"What?" Harry said his temper rising.
"I'm sorry alright!" Draco said annoyed.
"Fine" Harry retorted and sat on one of the tables and looked at Draco.
"Let's just try and forget everything my father, my friends. After seeing them this whole thing just seems ridiculous" Draco said looking over to Harry's eyes. Harry remained silent. His green eyes blurred, but he held the tears and didn't let his voice crack.
" Alright. You hate me...I hate you...it's easy enough" He answered sarcastically.
Draco stared at Harry then reached out to touch his arm. Harry jerked away as if his touch would burn. Draco looked a him for a few more moments.
"Look...I've got to go" He said awkwardly and shoved his hands in his pockets. He waited for a reply. When there wasn't one he left taking Harry's silence as a goodbye.
"Goodbye Draco" Harry said after Draco closed the door, one tear slowly sliding down his cheek.
