CHAPTER 3

It has been over a week since they came here and Harry was just getting along with most of the people, although some just pissed him off.
Edward Cullen has been absent ever since that day and Harry tried not to think of him so often. It was unnatural.
Nothing really happened for few days except constant nagging of Draco and their usual quarrels that are too small to be fights.
They have just contacted Remus, Nymphadora, and Sirius yesterday that they were settling in very well.
It took Draco and Harry a good half an hour to calm crying Teddy down. Although Teddy seemed fine, Remus and Nymphadora were his parents and baby Teddy couldn't hold it in since he missed his parents dearly.

Harry woke up early that morning and found his white Audi A4 sitting on their driveway.

"I'm off!"

As he grabbed a coffee thermos that Draco has prepared for him, he shouted across the living room while Draco poked his head out of his study with his glasses to see Harry off.

"Don't get into any accidents, Potter! I mean it!"

"Yes, mother-"

Before Draco could retort back, Harry ran out and ignited his car. Harry has missed his brand new car as he caressed the handle, admiring it's sophistication. The car costed a little too much for Harry's liking but it was a gift from Sirius and he couldn't refuse his godfather's gift.
He casually drove to school and parked at Draco's usual parking slot. He noticed people were staring at him again.

By now, everyone knew Harry Potter was a rich kid but it was rumored that Teddy was his son between an unknown lady back at Britain who he had broke up for Draco.
Harry laughed and confirmed it as a ridiculous rumor.

Shaking his head, he got off to check the trunk to see if Teddy's safety seat was still there with other stuff that Harry loaded before coming to America.

Then it happened.

Suddenly a screeching sound of a tire was heard not far behind and people started to scream in panic.
Startled by the commotion, Harry whipped back to see what was happening and the only thing he was able to see was a blue van losing control and heading towards him sideways.
Harry thought this was going to hurt.

The last thing he saw was a pair of horrified golden eyes that stared directly at his exuberant green eyes.

'CRASH'

Harry felt that he was knocked down by a bolder and hit the floor.
His breath hitched and was surprised by the spreading pain around his body.
But not as much as he expected.

He opened his eyes and saw nothing on top of him. His eyes slowly darted across the huge dent on the blue van that nearly squished him.
It seems that he was extremely lucky. He was laying down on the little space between his car and the blue van that saved himself from being squished to death.
He heard screaming and murmurings of his name and few seconds later, could see crying students who were covering their mouths.

He tried to get up but the officers won't let him and when he tried to speak, his voice didn't come out.
Probably because he was scared to death and thought he was going to die.

While he was getting transported he searched for the horrid golden eyes where he last saw them but couldn't find them.

Harry only wondered what had knocked him down?
The blue van was out of question since he would have been dead by now.

Whatever it was, it was icy cold and saved Harry's life.

The hospital was swarming with people. Maybe the whole school was there in the emergency waiting room.
Harry was getting treated next to the perpetrator of the accident, who happened to be Tyler Crowley. He kept repeating that he was sorry and Harry was getting a headache by his constant apologies that just wouldn't stop.

"Mr. Potter. It seems that you have been extremely lucky"

A young blonde man who appeared to be in his late twenties came up to him and spoke in a melodious voice.
Harry immediately thought of the Cullens and was confirmed when the young handsome doctor introduced himself as Dr. Cullen.

"Carlisle Cullen."

"Hello, sir. Nice to meet you"

They shook hands and Harry was surprised how cold his hands were. It felt like he was just now gripping a ball of snow.

The young doctor checked on Harry and said there weren't any serious damage but he should feel dull throbbing pain on his head for few days. Harry was absorbing his words until he heard a loud bang on the emergency room door and a furious blonde man walking towards them.

Oh no.

"Potter!"

Draco looked horrifyingly furious as he made his way across the emergency room, attracting many attentions. He stormed his way towards them and gritted his teeth when he saw Harry with bandage on his head and bleeding few places here and there.
He looked absolutely speechless for a moment but let out a breath. Harry had a lot of explaining to do.

"Draco, I can explain-"

"Oh, you explained everything quite well. Why am I not surprised to see you in a hospital looking like...THIS?"

Draco was raging on and Harry couldn't even say anything since he did feel guilty about making Draco worry. All of the people in the emergency room were staring at them and listening to Draco's every word.

"What did I just say this morning?! And you thought it was funny to go against it and fuck things up?!"

"Hey! Hold on there- I didn't purposefully run in front of the van, you bloody git!"

"Not even full week! Am I supposed to hire back those bodyguards to keep you intact?!"

This wasn't the first time that Draco was outrageously ranting on Harry. In fact, Draco had his contact in use to hire some bodyguards or watchdogs to guard Harry around which annoyed the hell out of the green eyed man.

But Harry had to admit, those times were because of his own fault and mistakes. No wonder Draco was so paranoid.

"Shut up and listen to me, you jackass! And I don't want them again!"

Draco swooshed forward and leaned towards him, placing his two hands on each sides of Harry's bandaged head. Their angry faces were very close to each other. Harry didn't back down but angrily stared at Draco to challenge him.

Then Draco spoke in a dangerous low tone.

"Don't fucking tempt me, Potter. I made a promise to your godfather and I won't be going against my own damn words. Whether you like it or not, I'll see to it if that's it takes for me to keep that fucking promise"

"Malfoy. I already told you that I didn't run in front of the van!"

"Don't you worry. My attorneys will be having a word with Mr. Crowley over there and you are grounded"

Draco straightened his waist and took out his phone to dial some numbers but Harry got to his first and snatched his phone away from him. He was to outraged by Draco's blatant statement.

"GROUNDED? You have no rights to ground me! You're not my parents!"

"Watch me."

Harry felt boiling anger rising up to his face and he desperately wanted throwing something at that prick. He viciously glared at the cold blond man and Draco looked back with that cold icy glare that meant fire.
Then the Dr. Cullen dispersed their glares with his arm interrupting their gazes and tried to stop this ridiculous fight between them.

"Please, Mr. Potter needs his rest, Mr...?"

"What's wrong with him?"

Malfoy had to be a prat and ignore Dr. Cullen's courtesy for his name. Harry muttered something intelligent, but Draco wasn't keen to listen to him.
After a few moment, Harry looked around the emergency room as to find someone.

"Where's Teddy?"

"I sent him next door"

"Why would you do that? Bring him back this instance, Malfoy!"

Nothing was going the way it should have been and Harry didn't like side tracks that led him to a different path.

"You think he should be subjected to see you in a hospital like this?"

At Draco's sharp reply, Harry instantly shut his mouth but he still felt like pulling his hair out.

Out of frustration, Harry glared at Draco fucking Malfoy and lay down on the uncomfortable hospital bed, pulling the blanket up his head. Harry felt Draco's hand on his shoulder but violently shook it off.

"Go do your fucking things. Let me be"

Draco let out a exasperated breath and sat on the side of Harry's bed, placing back his hand on Harry's shoulder as to apologize.

"Harry. You would have to understand, I was half-mad when I heard that you got into a car accident and was sent to the ER"

Draco's softer and pacified voice melted Harry's anger a bit. Harry knew Draco was doing his best not to bash at him but he did have a wild temper.
Surprisingly, it was Teddy who tamed the infamously ill-tempered Draco.

Harry vaguely heard Dr. Cullen's scorning voice next to him where Tyler Crowley was at.
Truth to be told, Tyler Crowley was in worse condition than Harry's condition but the fact that he was the perpetrator made everyone turn against him.
Harry felt a dent on the bed and felt Draco's hand pulling the blankets away to see in the eyes.

"Harry"

"That's the problem with you, Draco. You never try to listen to a word I say when you get mad. You never give me a chance to defend myself."

"I'm sorry. Does it still hurts?"

Draco spoke softly and his angry blue eyes softened for Harry. But it was clear that Draco was still furious, but his emotions were suppressed.

Draco shot a taunting smirk at Harry and Harry snorted and punched Draco in the arm but groaned when he felt the pain shooting up his stressed arm.
Draco's hands instantly grabbed Harry's hand and he started to look for the doctor.

"I want him fully intact and decent, doctor."

"Of course. But that will take some time. His head will probably throb time to time for few days. I think it's best for him to go home for today and rest. Although it shouldn't cause any problems by tomorrow, stay on alert."

Draco finally thanked the doctor and helped Harry to get up from the bed. Draco sometimes could be a perfect friend but he was too much of a prat about it. Not to mention that he was already snobbish when Harry first met him.

It was horrible when Harry found out that most of the school was there in the waiting room. He tried to look as if he was okay, but they didn't seem to buy it.

"We were so scared, Harry!"

"Are you alright? Man, you should have seen it!"

"Tyler, that bastard!"

Harry barely managed them to calm down and said he was perfectly fine. He heard Draco snorting in the background and glared at him to shut the hell up.

"Potter. You need to rest. Now"

By Draco's stern words, nobody would've protested them and Harry and Draco were able to escape that crowded room, full of concerned students. At the sight of Draco's Bentley parked out of range, Harry spoke.

"What happened to my car?"

"You won't be driving for a good time, Harry."

He should have known. He just got to drive around with my own car but his privileges taken away by a prat. Knowing Draco, he won't allow it until he was sure of Harry's perfect condition.

"You have no choice, since your car needs to get repaired"

"How bad is my car?"

"Money isn't a problem, Harry. You know that"

Draco stated as if it was a matter of fact and led Harry towards the car in front of the drive way.

"I'm not going to rely on you for my car, too! You already got us that house"

"Trust me. This is an investment"

The jerk always had a come-back.

Draco crookedly smiled and Harry shook my head while smiling. This conversation wasn't over between them, but both were content for now.

Even after they left and came back home with Teddy, Harry could never shrug off the feeling of being watched.

"Oh, and Draco? No law suits"

I'm sorry if it lacked of dynamic descriptions but with my writing, this is as far as I could go. I hope I'm in the process of learning and getting better. It's a little difficult for me since I have not perfectly mastered the art of grammars and wordings.

I haven't had many Edward and Harry interactions so I made sure the next chapter will have some of those! AND I'm introducing another character in to the story(: (He's one of the original characters from the series and I won't tell you which series) It should be fun, I'm hoping. (The next chapter should be up at least by two days time period)

Did you like it? What do you think? Any suggestions or mistakes? I'm open to any thoughts that the reader might have regarding my stories! Feel free to express them.
