Disclaimer: Not mine. All JK's. I fuck like to fuck with her characters.

"Master Draco."

"G'way." he mumbled.

"Winky has a Hangover Potion for Master Draco and Mister Zabini is here to see you."

Draco groaned, but stuck his hand out of his cocoon for the potion vial. She placed it in his hand and went to start breakfast. Draco rolled over to drain the vial , then just laid there with his eyes closed. He felt horrible and smelt worse. He distantly heard his door open. "Wake up Dray!"

"Am." Draco croaked. He felt Blaise lay down on his bed. "Geroff."

"Nope. You need to shower, you reek. Then brush your teeth, you are going to throw up. Then, you have to come eat before you go to work." Blaise explained.

"What's the point?" he asked in a dead voice. "None of those things have a valid point. I quit. I'm not going to get out of bed. Ever." To prove his point, he rolled over onto his stomach and pulled his comforter over his head.

"Dray…" Blaise sighed. He's been doing that a lot in the past 48 hours. "There is a point. You have to show the world you're unaffected. By everything. You have to tell the world to…go fuck itself is the phrase, right?"

"Hn." Draco grunted in the positive, but didn't move.

"Draco." Blaise snapped. Draco ignored him. "Draco Lucius Abraxas Malfoy!"

"What?" Draco growled, throwing the comforter of his head. Blaise recoiled in shock. Draco's hair was frizzed out where it wasn't matted. His eyeliner from yesterday was smeared, making him look racoonish. His face was blotchy from humiliation and the tears that were falling silently. Blaise pulled him into a hug. Draco gripped his shoulders tightly and cried.

Finally, 10 minutes later, Blaise convinced Draco to shower after a severe Cheering Charm. It managed to get Draco to stop crying, but he still looked miserable. 45 minutes later, Draco dragged himself down the stairs and into the kitchen. He sat down at the table, ignored the food, and set his head down. It took Blaise 5 minutes to bully him into eating. Finally, Blaise gave up when he realized Draco was just pretending to eat, and shoved him through the Floo, then followed.

They landed in Draco's office. Blaise dragged Draco off the floor when he didn't get up on his own, and shoved him out the door to do his rounds with another Cheering Charm. Then, he Flooed home.

Draco went through his rounds in a fog, casting healing spells by going through the motions. But he never messed up, so no one noticed something was wrong.

He had just left his last patient's room when Ron found him. "There you are, you git! Why haven't you been to Harry's room yet?" he demanded angrily.

"Harry's room?" Draco echoed faintly.

"Yes Harry's room! You're his Healer!" he snapped and started walking.

"Healer?" Draco asked, wandering after him. Ron stopped and stared at him.

"Are you alright Malfoy?"

"Am I?" Draco looked completely unconcerned.

"C'mon Malfoy." Ron said, gently pulling him by the wrist.

"Okay." Draco said in the same airy, unconcerned tone. Ron pulled him all the way to Harry's room, but they didn't enter. Instead, Ron got Hermione to come stand in the hallway with them.

"There's something wrong with him!" Ron exclaimed.

"Really?" Draco asked disinterestedly.

"Oh my…" Hermione said, really looking at him. His eyes where bloodshot and puffy, and a dull grey; vacant. "Draco…" she sighed.

"Yes?" Draco answered pleasantly, but emotionlessly.

"Have you seen anyone today?"

"You. Ronald. My patients… Oh, and Blaise. Blaise came to see me this morning and last night."

"Why?"

"I…I did a bad thing. I made the alarm go off."

"What are you talking about?"

"I…I opened the cabinet" Draco finally had emotion- he sounded ashamed.

"What cabinet? Why is that a bad thing?"

"My liquor cabinet…I swore I wouldn't open it and I did!" Draco exclaimed, sounding horrified, ashamed, and longing at the same time.

"Shh-shh-shht. It's okay. What did Blaise do?" Hermione soothed.

"Drank with me. Listened to me. Put me in bed. Then he got me up. Showered, dressed, and here. He tried to feed me too…but I only pretended." He said, sounding like a kid caught in the cookie jar.- defiant, proud, and ashamed.

"Why?"

"Blaise is my best friend. He takes care of me, especially after-"

"Draco, stop talking!" Blaise exclaimed. He was flushed and out of breath and he had a hand print on his cheek, rapidly bruising.

"Blaise!" Draco exclaimed with a wide grin.

"Dray, Draco, Draco! I'm so sorry! I forgot you took that potion!" Blaise exclaimed, pulling him into a hug.

"What potion?" Ron asked eagerly.

"None of your business, Weasel." Blaise snapped glaring fiercely.

"It is my business when he's suppose to Heal Harry and he's acting like a lunatic!"

Blaise winced. "That's my fault. He'll be fine tomorrow." Blaise said and started pulling Draco away. "C'mon, Dray."

"Okay!" Draco chirped. "Where are we going?"

"Home."

"Okay! Mine or yours or…" Ron and Hermione couldn't hear anymore.

"That…was weird." Ron said finally.

"He's cried recently. His eyes…" Hermione said sadly.

"Zabini?"

"No, you prat! Malfoy! Draco."

"I don't believe it. Malfoy's just…don't cry."

"Well Draco has!" Hermione snapped, and entered Harry's room, slamming the door behind her, locking Ron out. Never disagree with a pregnant Hermione.

I hate this chapter. I REALLY do… I've tried so hard to fix it, which is why it's so late. The RL came and kicked me in the arse and I just haven't felt like writing. But I tried for you guys, and everyone thank bohemian dreams for finally kicking me into gear. Also thank her(him?) for telling me how to edit my chapters. I fixed chapter 5(it was missing a part-how did that happen?) and Harry's age in one chapter. Sorry 'bout the wait.

bohemian dreams- thanks. I kinda needed to feel loved. RL sucks… also, thanks for telling me how to edit. Thanks for the love. No I don't have a live journal. I've tried to figure out the website but I can't find anything! I understand the odd place thing. I'm there now…*sigh*

Chochowilliams- it is, as you can tell. I think he needs more help than Harry

Sunset on Heartache- I know! Almost every story I read, he's an arse. And it is. I went back and checked the books, and the went back and fixed it. He would have been, but by now, he's learned to just go with it.

Kirsti-Lee- they will. I hope to not drag it out too much longer.

Knightvanilla- sorry it took so long, but here's your update

Rainlyph13- good. People never feel sorry for draco, it's about time someone did. And yes, you guessed (half)correctly. More will be revealed soon. I have a plan for the twins.

- yes and no. Draco does love harry, but he's said as much. Why would that be his big problem? No, that's a driving point for his problem.

Darloudasha- thanks. I lost count. Somewhere around 6.

Tawnyeyes10- I stop at a scene change. Sorry it's really late. Bohemiandreams must be channeling angry Blaise, lol. (btw, do you read the warriors series by erin hunter? )

Catindahat- Blaise is suppose to be there for him. That's his purpose in my story. Sorry it took so long to update.
