Part two:
Slowly Harries eyes opened they met Ron's and the red head let out a relived smile. "Well you're finally awake, thank goodness for that." Carefully Ron helped his friend to sit up and helped him to sip some water.
"What happened to me?" Harry croaked out.
Whilst Ginny plumped up the pillows behind Harry, Hermione leant in from the other side of the bed and carefully explained to the young wizard what had happened to him and when she had finished explaining, the dark haired young man looked round at his friends. "Draco doesn't know about my feelings for him does he?" Harry asked them very quietly.
"No, that's kind of why you are here, after all we all love you and we were none too sure of what he felt for you." Said the young witch to him gently.
"Thank you."
"You'll need to take it slowly, we can't be sure how far you will recover and you will need to be careful of your heart, pain might make it worse and love will make it better."
Harry sighed at Hermione's word. "Oh fun." Carefully he rested back on the pillows, time passed slowly so slowly in fact that it seemed to harry that it inch past him bit by bit, however slowly and surely he recovered becoming gradually stronger with every day, it was just impossible for him to fully heal it appeared.
Over the long summer Mr Wesley had supplied Harry with a simple black lacquered silver toped walking cane, which the younger wizard used to help himself get around.
For Draco the summer passed at a snail's pace, there had been little news of Harry, the Slytherin hoped that the young man had made a full recovery from that horrible spell but any one he spoke to about the matter didn't seem to be sure if he had.
Today it was finally the first of the new term the blond was getting off the Hogwarts express, he stood on the platform looking down the Hogwarts platform, the ice prince sighed he couldn't make out the familiar figure of Harry any were on the station.
As Draco watched slowly further down the platform another carriage door opened, Ron came out of the carriage first, followed by Hermione and Ginny the young Weasely sister held a cane carefully in her grasp, the Slytherin watched as the red haired boy turned back towards the carriage and held out a hand. The blond suddenly felt hope fill him a pail hand went into Ron's and carefully he helped Harry from the carriage, Ginny went over to the dark haired wizard quickly she handed him the cane, the Gryffindor took it with a grateful smile and Draco watched as the pail dark haired young man leant on the cane heavily and started to walk slowly up the platform with his friends, the blond was relieved to see Harry talking and laughing with his three friends as he walked.
Before he realised it the Slytherin was striding down the platform to meet them. "Harry... you're alright I mean your cured aren't you?"
"No not completely, we don't think I ever will be but as long as I'm careful I should be alright."
"Isn't there any way to completely heal you?" Draco asked with a tone of confusion and concern.
Harry looked at the blond haired young man before him and then he looked away. "Only the one I love can do that and that's not going to happen, I can't risk telling him, not now not in this state, if he denied me it would kill me."
Draco was taken aback by the sad tone in Harries voice; slowly he looked back to the ice prince and smiled gently. "Ron Hermione and Ginny told me that the three of you had become friends, I'm glad to hear it I would like for us all to be able to get along. I must say I am glad to be back at school, as much as I love the Burrow I was going mad being confined there."
The Slytherin let out a small laugh and joined them walking up the platform. "I'm also glad you came back to school."
Harry stopped for a moment, he gripped the silver tipped walking cane and hissed threw his teeth with pain for a moment. Draco looked at the dark haired man for an instant with concern in his eyes, but Ron spoke to allay his worry. "It's alright Draco he must have been worrying about your reaction to his coming back."
Grey confused eyes swept over to the red head who was hit by his girlfriend over the back of the head with some books. "What Ron is trying to say very badly is that you've just helped to heal Harries heart at least a little."
"I did?"
"Yes Draco you did."
"Thank you." Said Harry softly, Draco's gaze went back to the dark haired young man when Draco looked at him he realised that the other wizard was back to how he had been a few moments before just now there seemed to be a little more strength in him.
"You're very welcome Harry."
The days passed Harry seemed to be growing better all the time, it was good to see him improving so, but the question on every one's mind was just who was this mysterious love of Harries who could cure him completely and why hadn't they tried to cure him.
Draco was just as stumped as everyone else over this mysterious person he was desperate to find out but at the same time the blond didn't want to know as long as he didn't know Draco had at least the hope it might be him who could help Harry. The prince of the Slytherin's hated it when he thought like this all he did was think himself into circles what Draco needed was action not thought.
The Slytherin went for a brisk walk, he saw two younger Slytherin girls standing together just ahead of him in the corridor. "Harry is just so cute!" Said one of the two young girls to the other and then giggled in a very girly way.
When Draco heard just who the two girls were talking about he saw red and marched over to them his robes flying out round him as he went. "Harry is not cute!" The blond said to them in low deadly tones.
There came a gasp from nearby, Draco spun round to see Harry standing there, his right hand reached up to clutch his shirt over were his heart was, the blond shot forward to Harries side, as he did the Slytherin could hear a sound that had haunted him all summer that horrible sound of braking glass. "No, I hadn't finished, listen to me Harry please." Draco pleaded turning the black haired wizards face up towards him.
Harry was gasping for breath, the Slytherin carefully supported him by placing an arm round him. "Harry listen to me you're not cute, your handsome, wonderful and perfect well at least you are in my eyes." Draco said to him and with his free hand carefully pushing dark hair back from the other man's face, the Slytherin closed his eyes and then captured the other wizard's soft lips in his for just a moment before pulling back. "I love you." The blond whispered to Harry gently his grey eyes still closed from the short kiss.
Draco's grey eyes snapped open as the Gryffindor slumped forward into him. Panicked the blond lifted Harry up into his arms and quickly carried the dark haired wizard to the hospital wing were the Gryffindor was looked over by the matron.
"He is fine Mr Malfoy, this is amazing, Harry is completely cured and the sudden shock of his hearts revival must have caused Mr Potter to black out. I'm sure he will be back on his feet soon." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile.
Draco let out a relived sigh and then realisation dawned on the young man's features. "Wait I cured him then that means..." The matron gave him a reassuring smile and left the young man alone with the now sleeping Harry.
The Slytherin reached out and took one of the sleeping Harries hands in his own. "All this time you were waiting for me, and I didn't realise!"
An hour later Harry stirred slowly and his emerald green eyes opened to find Draco watching him a smile on his handsome face. "Harry you might like to know that you're well again."
Before he got a chance to respond the blond suddenly reached out he pulled Harry up and into his arms for a tight hug. "You stupid man that's why you came after me that day wasn't it? Because you love me."
Harry gulped and nodded once a little frightened. "Yes. I do love you Draco so very much."
"I love you too Harry." Draco whispered into his ear softly.
"That's good I wouldn't want it any other way." The dark haired mage held Draco closer to him, they both sighed with contentment, it felt good to be finally healed and held safely in the arms of the one that they loved more than anything.
