Chapter Four
Draco was in excruciating pain; Madame Pomfrey had told him what was wrong, and the side effects of the poison. He knew there was going to be pain. What he didn't know was how much it was going to hurt. It felt like knives were stabbing him, then being twisted, and then salt being poured on the wound. All he could do was lie there and hope it would be over. Draco was a little upset that Harry hadn't come to see him, but he was sort of pleased because he didn't want Harry to see him in such pain. He remembered what Harry had said to him before the pain started and he wanted to say it back. He was willing to wait for the pain to go first though.
Meanwhile Harry was pacing his dorm, wondering how Ron got the poison into Draco's food. His mind was replaying all the times he went to breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was no way the Gryffindor could have walked over and sprinkled the Selenium onto Draco's food, because as soon as the red head was in the vicinity of the Slytherin table, they would taunt and tease him. Something clicked in Harry's mind 'What about the House Elves? Maybe he bribed one of them to poison Draco's food. I have to go down to the kitchens.' Harry grabbed his outer robe and fled through the common room and out the door. He quickly made a side stop in the potions lab. He knew Professor Snape would mind him using a small dose of Polyjuice Potion to help put a criminal in jail. Luckily there was some hair on the velvet case of the Selenium so he could use it to transform into Ron.
Once he was at the painting outside the Kitchen, he took a swig of Polyjuice Potion and waited for the transformation to happen. It tasted disgusting and smelt like the room did. Once he was change he tickled the pear and stepped into the kitchens. When he got in one of the elves came up and said "Has Master brought some more seasoning for Master Draco?" That was all he needed to hear. "There is no more need for the seasoning anymore. Thank You for your work." The House Elf stared at him. Harry turned around and left the kitchens. He knew he had about 15 more minutes of being Ron left so he found an empty classroom to wait for himself to change back. After he did he was going to go and see Draco to tell him the news then Professor Snape because he can do something about it, like throw Weasley in jail.
Harry had finally stopped being that red headed jerk and was sitting next to Draco. He couldn't believe the pain that Draco was going through it made him hurt to see Draco in that much pain, while not being able to do something about it. He had told Draco about what Weasley was doing to him. And Draco's reaction was almost terrifying. He sat bolt upright and said "IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON THE SLIMEY GIT HE WILL WISH HE WAS NEVER BORN!" Harry managed to calm him down as not to alert Madame Pomfrey. He promised that Ron Weasley will get what he deserved. He told Draco the he was going to tell professor Snape and Ron will be in so much trouble. That seemed to calm him down; Draco grabbed Harry's hand and leaned towards him. Their lips touched, and both boys felt like they were in heaven, despite Draco still being in immense pain. Once the kiss ended, Harry got up and left.
