Chapter 42

Draco's POV:

His eyes open to find Harry sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.

He sits up and grunts and Harry jerks his head towards him.

"You're alright!" Harry shouts.

"Yeah... uh..." He looks around and notices many hospital beds with patients in them, "Why am I in a hospital?"

"You passed out in the Ministry." Harry says.

"What?! How?!" Draco shouts, only to be hushed by many patients.

"It was after the hearing. I don't really know what did it." Harry says.

Draco remembers his father coming out of the room, his teeth barred and trying desperately to get away from the Aurors holding him back. He didn't remember anything after that except a dreadful fear that his father would get loose and beat him to his grave.

"Oh... Yeah, I remember now." Draco says.

"I told Blaise to come here. But you should also expect Neville and Luna. He insisted on bringing them so, they'll be here soon." Harry says.

"Blaise is coming?" Draco asks in disbelief. Why would he come to see him?

"Yes. I told him everything and he plans on talking with you when he gets here. Well, he said whenever you wake up, but you're awake now so..." Harry informs.

Draco sighs. Passing out over something that stupid? Really? His father couldn't even get to him and he passed out?!

"You're awake?!" He looks over to see him mother looking at him with a bright smile. "Oh, we were both so worried!" Both? "We didn't know if you hit your head or if you'd not eaten enough. Oh, has he eaten?" She asks Harry.

"No, not yet. He just woke up." Harry replies.

"I'll go get the nurse." His mother says, rushing out of the room. He watches her walk out and greet three people, one in particular with a hug. The person happened to be Neville and the other two were Blaise and Luna. He noticed the three of them holding hands and felt very confused to say the least.

They walked up to him and Luna let go of his hand while Neville held on.

"Draco..." Blaise begins, "I see that you're better. At least a bit. How long have you been awake?"

"Not long..." He replies awkwardly.

"I heard about what happened." Blaise says quietly.

"We'll let you two talk alone." Neville says, letting go of Blaise's hand, giving Blaise a smile and walking away with Luna and Harry following closely behind.

Blaise looks at him in silence before saying, "Are you alright, mate?"

Draco turns his attention to the front, "Yeah..." Draco says softly.

"I don't know if I believe that... I'm sure you're alright physically, though. I was told they fixed your injuries." Blaise says.

"Oh... Nice." Draco replies emotionlessly.

"Please look at me, Draco." Blaise begs but Draco doesn't do it. "I hope I didn't upset you or anything by not standing by you-"

"That's not it." Draco interrupts.

"Then what is it?" Blaise asks.

Draco sighs, "It's not you, that's for sure. I know why you didn't stand with me and I'm ok with it. But I honestly feel like you shouldn't be talking to me."
