Chapter 7

Draco was still wrapped in his wings when Harry found him,Harry walked over to the crying boy,'Hey,are you okay?'he asked.

Peeking out from behind his wings Draco shook his head his eyes were puffy and red he had tears on his face, it was hard for him to admithe wasn't okay but Harry made him feel like he wasn't weak for doing down beside Draco nodding in understanding waiting for Draco to tell him what was wrong,after a few minutes he was rewarded with softly spoken words he had to strain to hear.

'They found out.'The young Slytherin said quietly.

'Who?'Harry asked looking Draco in the eyes.'Crabbe,Goyle and Blaise,they said I was a disgrace to Slytherin.'He dissolved into sobs again.

'That's stupid how is having wings have anything to do with being in Slytherin?'Harry asked confused.

'They said my wings are disgusting,that my father would disown me.'He hiccoughed 'I can't live like that,I don't want to be the Perfect Slytherin that my father wants me to be.'

Harry was confused it seemed there was more to the Slytherin than he had thought,he had assumed he was a perfectionist who spent way too long on his hair in the morning but it appeared to be the boy's father was the perfectionist who pushed his vision onto his only son.

'I didn't know.'Harry said sadly looking down at the floor 'I thought you wanted to be like that.'

'I...I'm sorry,for picking on you and your friends,it's what was expected of me.'His tears had stopped now he had needed to tell someone and

Harry was the only person he knew who wouldn't judge him,'I know it's too late and if you hate me I understand.'He looked sideways at Harry waiting for his reaction hoping that he didn't walk away.

'I could never hate you.'Harry whispered,smiling Draco stretched in his crouched position on the floor it hadn't been very comfortable.

'Thanks.'Draco said genuinely grateful to have someone in the school who didn't loathe him,'I should probably go,I'll be in trouble if I'm not in

the common room when Snape does his rounds.'sighing he headed to the door bracing himself for the whole school knowing his secret by

the morning,'See you tomorrow Harry.' he said as he walked out the door.

'Wait!' Harry shouted after him'Your wings,I can still see them.'

'Oh, everyone will know by the morning anyway what's the point of hiding them,besides those binding charms are uncomfortable.'

'Oh Okay,um see you in potions then.'Harry said as they parted ways at the door of the classroom heading in opposite directions,Harry threw

his cloak over himself and headed to the Common room for some sleep.

The next morning Draco was nowhere to be seen at breakfast Harry leaned over to Hermione and whispered into her ear,'I'll see you at

potions I have to do something.' She nodded and continued reading her book as she waited for Ron to get his Lazy arse out of bed and eat.

Rolling her eyes she ate some toast and looking up to see Harry pull the Map out of his pocket as he left the Great hall,smiling she turned

back to her book.

Ron rolled over in his bed and forced his eyes to open looking at the clock on the wall he jumped up and out of bed hurrying to get

dressed,Hermione was going to be so mad he thought as he pulled on his shoes and ran to the door nearly falling down the stairs when he

stumbled over his untied laces, sighing he ran through the portrait hole to the Great hall.

Harry was looking at the marauders map searching for Draco yet again and was surprised when he found him in the hospital wing,realisation

dawned on his face as he rushed to the hospital wing,he ran the whole way and was gasping for breath when he reached the double doors

scanning the room he couldn't see Madam Pomfrey but he could see Draco lying on a bed with his wings trailing on the floor,as he walked

closer to his friend...when had started seeing Draco as a friend?shrugging he continued on his path to the bed when he reached it he gasped softly at what he saw Draco's face was marred with numerous bruises and scratch marks he was sleeping fitfully jerking every so often his wings twitching constantly.

'Draco?Wake up.'Harry said

'Whats wrong?!' Exclaimed Draco sitting upright quickly his wings moving to wrap around Harry who stood close to his bedside.

'Nothing!pfff mgrphgh!'Harry said his voice muffling when he was hit in the face by a grey wing that flopped down as Draco lay down again.

Groaning Draco rubbed his eyes wincing when he touched a bruise,'Don't wake me up like that.'

'Like what? I only said your name.'Harry said confused at Draco's reaction

'Just don't wake me up at all.'He rolled over and pulled the bed covers up to his neck,Harry smiled slightly,Knowing that he shouldn't ask about Draco's bruises.

'We're going to be late for potions if you don't get up.'Harry bolt upright in bed Draco threw the covers off and moved to leave the bed.

Madam Pomfrey rushed over,'No Mr Malfoy,you will be going nowhere until I'm finished with you.'She said pushing him gently back into the bed,'Those ribs won't heal if you jump around.'

Harry gasped 'They broke your ribs!?' He exclaimed moving closer to the bed,Draco looked down,'I deserved it.'He said.

'No,No one deserves that.'Harry said in a soft tone,Madam Pomfrey hated to see her patients being bullied but he refused to tell her who had beat him so she couldn't do anything to stop it happening again.'Mr Potter shouldn't you be getting to class?'She asked.

'I...What, oh yeah,um I guess I'll see you later Draco.'

He turned and rushed out the door looking at the watch on his wrist that he had managed to save from Dudley's junk pile when he was doing his chores,he realized that he was indeed late for potions bracing himself he pushed open the door to the classroom he heard hushed whispers about Draco and his wings,he was trying to quietly get to his seat without Snape noticing but of course the potions master didn't even have to look up from his desk to know a trouble maker had entered his class '20 points from Gryffindor...'He paused 'And a Detention with me tonight Mr Potter.'

Sighing Harry sat down at his workbench 'Yes Sir.'He mumbled, he looked to his left to see Hermione looking at him curiously,looking away he set to work making a potion that changed the colour of one's hair, he knew he would never finish it by the end of the class but he started anyway preferring not to earn another detention.
