Harry awoke feeling groggy but far better then before. His head was throbbing but that happened to him a lot lately. He was extremely glad now that Gabriel had taken his shift today. After looking at the clock it looked as if Harry had slept for about 16 hours. Even without looking in the mirror Harry could tell the sleep had done him a great amount of good. Harry no longer felt as if he wanted to kill himself because he felt so horrid. Harry was just about to get up and go get some coffee when he heard a knock at his door.
"Harry?"
"So I'm told."
"Hi, I'm Blaise. Gabe sent me up to check on you since he didn't anticipate a break in the near future." As he spoke Blaise's hand searched for the evading light switch on the wall. Once found, the onrush of light that swept the room caused Blaise to gasp audibly. Harry had a similar reaction yet his was tinted with the urge to flee. Harry could have hit himself for his stupidity. Of course! Gabriel always complained about his boyfriend having a job that he wouldn't tell him about because he wouldn't approve. Deatheater. He was always griping about a horrendous skull tattoo. Darkmark. Gabriel was always sad that once school started again he would only be able to see his boyfriend during holidays because he went to some far off boarding school. Hogwarts. Blaise. Blaise Zambini. "Potter? POTTER! I can't believe this. I'm the one to find you. Where's your phone? I'm calling Draco."
"NO!"
"What are you on about Potter? Of course I'm calling Draco. He's been worried sick. Not to mention everyone else. Sirius has been chopping heads of left and right he was so worried."
"Please don't. I can't see him. I can't face him. Half a minute, Sirius? How the hell do you know about Sirius?"
"I do the same spy work as Professor Snape and Draco. Old Mad Eye kept us hopping left and right trying to find you I'll have you know. He thought it was very possible that a deatheater had kidnapped you and forged the note. Now what could possibly be important enough that you want to keep Draco in the dark? A dark that I might mention is driving him mad and absolutely ruining his health."
"What? Is Draco okay?"
"If you call not sleeping, not eating, and crying the day away oh he's just peachy! Honestly Potter, what the hell WERE you thinking you great ponce! Do you even realize what you've done?"
"You don't understand. I was trying to help Draco. I was trying to help. I was trying to help." Harry began to rock back and forth repeating the same thing, "I was only trying to help" over and over between sobs that racked the small body.
"Potter, calm down. I'm sure he'll be fine once he sees you. Just calm d-" Blaise was interrupted by a shout from Harry's door.
"BLAISE! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM! I ASK YOU TO CHECK ON MY FRIEND AND WHEN I CAN FINALLY COME MYSELF HE'S A SOBBING MESS! WHAT DID YOU DO!" Gabriel briskly went over to Harry and embraced him. "It's okay Harry. Calm down. Everything's okay. Don't listen to him. He's just a stupid ass. Whatever he said is a load of bull. Just ignore him. He doesn't have any idea what he's on about." Gabriel began rubbing Harry's back soothingly while shooting dangerous glares at his boyfriend that clearly said "You are so not sleeping in MY bed tonight" until Harry was finally able to speak.
"No, Gabe. He's right. I've been so stupid."
"Harry, what are you talking about?" Before Harry could reply Blaise cut in.
"Gabe love, this is the guy I've been telling you about. The boyfriend of my friend who up and left. He's been missing for a really long time now. I didn't expect anyone to find him, least of all me! I figured if anyone was going to find him it would be one of the other two musketeers he hangs around with or his boyfriend." Gabriel was staring at Harry now as he realized who had been across the hall from him all this time. "Potter, I'm going to call Draco now all right?" Harry deftly nodded and pointed a shaking hand over to the phone. As he dialed Blaise shot a sympathetic look at the boy still firmly tucked in his boyfriend's arms. "Hey Draco?" Harry could hear mumbled words coming from the ear piece. "Yeah, look, it's Blaise. I just found Harry. Now I can give you the add- " Blaise suddenly pulled the phone away from his ear and held it at arms length. A clear sharp voice came bursting from the phone.
"YOU WHAT!"
"Wow, calm down mate. If you stop hyperventilating for five seconds I can give you the address and you can come see Potter yourself." Blaise once again took the phone away from himself but no recognizable voice came through it this time. Instead the Slytherin looked at Harry, "He wants to talk to you." At the sight of Harry's eyes going wide as saucers and his body going rigid from fear Blaise turned back towards the phone. "How 'bout you just come. I mean I know you want to SEE Harry and talking to him would just delay that right? Exactly." Harry tuned out after Blaise had deterred Draco from speaking to him.
After relaying that Draco would be there shortly Blaise and Gabriel left. First telling him not to even try running off because Blaise would stay across the hall with the door open until Draco arrived and Gabriel would be downstairs in clear view of the exit. Once the two had gone Harry was left trying to think of what he would say to his boyfriend. Before he had come to any conclusion Harry heard a soft knock on his door and in entered a very disgruntled looking Katy.
"Harry? You have a visitor. Do you want to see him or should I chase Monsieur Rude off with a broom?"
"No, it's fine Kate, thanks for bringing him up here." As the young hostess left a tall, almost white haired creature entered. Once he had closed the door grey eyes blazing with fury locked themselves on Harry.
"What were you thinking? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!" Harry could only stare as Draco began shouting. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED EVERYONE'S BEEN! HOW WORRIED I'VE BEEN? GOD DAMNIT YOU PONCE! DID YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST LEAVE WITHOUT A WORD TO ANYBODY FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS? WERE YOU ON SOME SORT OF LOOK-AT-ME-AND-NOTICE ME TRIP! YOU JUST WANTED TO SEE IF ANYBODY WOULD MISS YOU!" Before Harry had anytime to react or to speak Draco's fist collided with a very solid wall. Harry gaped at the small hole in the wall and the now bloodied fist. Draco sank to the ground and drew his knees into his chest. As he sobbed he hid his face against his arms as they perched on top of his knees. For a while Harry only watched as his love sobbed, not knowing what to do. Then, with a sudden decisive movement Harry slipped off the matters and pulled Draco into a tight embrace.
"Oh god, Draco. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I can't even express it. I thought I was protecting you, not hurting you more. I'm so, so, so sorry. I love you. I never wanted to hurt you." Harry was crying now. Suddenly Draco's tearstained face looked up into Harry's.
"Then why? Why did you leave?"
"I-I-I," Harry bowed his head as crystalline tears continued to fall. Harry suddenly felt a hand under his chin pulling it up so grey could lock with green.
"Harry -look at me Harry- I love you. I love you more then anything else on this earth. I was worried and angry but I still love you. Whatever it is. No matter what, I will not stop loving you with all of my being. Now tell me."
"I can't. I can't tell you. You'll hate me."
"I could never hate you Harry. You know that."
"I can't." Harry began shaking his head frantically. "You'll be put in danger. They'll want to use it to get to you."
"Use what Harry?" All the Slytherin got was an another head shake as his lover dropped his head onto his shoulder and began sobbing once again. "Harry please tell me. I promise you I won't hate you. Whatever it is, I won't let them use it against me. Just tell me what drove you away. Tell me what causes you so much pain. Please dear heart, just tell me." In response, Harry took his lover's hand and placed it so it was under his shirt, over his abdomen. "Harry wha-" Draco's eyes widened as he felt a kick. After all, not even a concealing charm could mask the babe's flurry of feet. As Draco raised his eyes they came to rest on the fearful eyes of Harry. As the blonde continued to stare; not removing his hand or speaking Harry's fears seemed to be confirmed. Harry quickly drew away and went to leave as Draco still slumped against the wall was staring at his hand that had felt the kick. When all of a sudden,
"Ooomph. Watch it. I heard a noise so I thought I'd... OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" In his rush Harry had collided with a very worried Katy who quickly took in Harry's blood shot eyes, the blood on Draco's hand and the fact that the blond was staring at his hand as if he had done something terrible. "Oh my god? Is this the guy Harry? Is he the reason you've been hurting yourself? Did he hit you? I swear I'll kill him if he did. I don't care who he is. I'll bloody -"
"No, Kate. Draco didn't do anything. He's never hit me." Katy glared at the still unmoving Draco.
"You made him say that didn't you? You insufferable git. Well, let's have it. What do you have to say for yourself?" As Draco remained unmoving Katy became more and more impatient; her curly red locks seeming to become charged with annoyance and break free of their braid.
"What's going on?" As Blaise and Gabriel walked in Harry finally gave up his attempt at escape and allowed himself to be steadied by Gabriel's firm arms as he swayed.
"I'll tell you what's going on!" As the young Irish hostess turned to the two new comers her eyes seemed to be clouded with fire. "I hear a loud bang downstairs and a lot of yelling so I come up to see what's going on. As I open the door Harry here runs smack dab into me looking like, well, how he looks now. And THIS guy," and here Katy pointed to Draco, "is sitting there with a bloody fist and just staring at his hand. That rich bastard hit Harry but Harry's too scared to admit it!" Now it was Blaise's turn to look shocked.
"That's impossible. Draco would never hit Harry!" Blaise walked over to his seemingly frozen housemate and kneeled down next to him laying his hand on the blonde's shoulder. "Draco? Hey, come on. Snap out of it. What happened?" Draco's puffy eyes finally moved themselves to stare at his fellow Slytherin. They held an almost pleading look in them. It wasn't him who answered however, but Harry.
"He knows, he knows and now he hates me." Gabriel's grip on Harry tightened as the Gryffindor's legs gave out and he almost fell. Harry buried his head in the broad shoulder and began crying once more. Because of that he didn't notice when Blaise stood up pulling Draco with him. After a moment's of hesitation Draco strode over to Harry and relinquished Gabriel of his hold. Turning Harry around he once again pulled the chin up.
"I told you I could never hate you Harry. I said I wouldn't stop loving you no matter what. This doesn't change that. I was just surprised. After everything, that was the last thing I expected."
"No, you hate me. You should hate me. After everything I've done. I don't deserve your love. All I deserve is your hate. That's all I deserve." Harry went to look away and bury his head again in his hands only to have his head held on both sides by two other sets of hands so it couldn't move.
"You are a wonderful person Harry. I love you with all my heart and I will NEVER stop. Do you understand? I'm sorry Harry that you thought I hated you, I love you. I only love you. You are part of me Harry. I am nothing without you."
"B-buutt I-"
"No 'buts'." Draco kissed Harry's brow and wiped the tears away. For a brief moment the two simply stared at each other. Then Draco brought his lips to Harry's and they kissed. The kiss removing all the pain and worry and hurt from the two lovers. When they finally parted they found no one else in the room.
