The following morning, despite the wishes of Scott and Olivia, I check out of the hospital.

I caught a cab home.

When I step out of the cab, I find the curtains are closed in the living room. The sun has yet to raise, and the dew is just settling.

As I knock on the door, I hear footsteps inside. Molly opens it wide and a look of surprise covers her face "Draco, dear, come in! Come in!"

I step in and she smiles at me, softly "What are you doing home? Shouldn't you still be in hospital?"

I give her a weak smile, before declaring "I just wanted to come home. I miss my own bed."

He nods, but stops to look me over "Everyone is still asleep." She tells me "Teddy is upstairs with Harry, in your bed."

I give her a tired smile "I'm going to head up, then." She stops me to hug me, before taking my bag and sit it on the floor.

She smiles at me, softly "I missed you."

I smile at her "I missed you, too."

When I wake, my body screams at me as I reach for the bottle of morphine. As I drop some into my mouth, I hear stirring below. Tiredly, I rest my head on my pillow.

About fifteen minutes later, I'm lucid enough to roll over in bed to find it empty. Silently, I lay there, listening to the everyday noises that I missed so much.

After another ten minutes, I sit up and start to get ready for the day.

When I step down the kitchen stairs, I see the regular Weasley chaos unfolding in the kitchen. After a long moment of me just smiling at it, Charlie looks towards me and his eyes go wide.

He grabs Hermione's jacket and yanks it. She looks back to him over the clatter and he points to me.

She gives him a confused look, before looking to me "Draco?"

It was barely above a whisper, but everyone goes quiet and looks to me, excitedly.

Harry smiles at me, before stepping forward to kiss me. I stop him by turning my head to the side. He stops me and holds my face in his hands.

He looks me in the eyes, and in that instance, he knows. As tears come to his eyes, he kisses my forehead.

Tiredly, I take his hand and place it against my heart as Ron asks "What are you doing home, mate?"

I look to him and state "As of this morning, we've started comfort care."

Harry rests his head on my shoulder and I continue "My HIV has progressed to AIDS." The look taken aback, so I clarify "I can't eat, anymore. My body is rejecting food. My mouth feels like a cheese grater was taken to it. And I'm on morphine."

They stare in shock, and I furrow my brow "And, my divination skills have grown in my time of dying." I look at them lovingly, before stating "I see beyond my death."

I look to Charlie "You'll walk again."

When I look to Blaise, I state "You'll become a Weasley, in 2013."

I look to Ginny, before smiling "You'll find a new drinking buddy."

Hermione cries as I state "You'll have a little boy, named Hugo."

I turn to Harry and rest my hand on his clavicle, rubbing my thumb over his carotid artery "You'll find another to dance with." He shakes his head and I place my cheek to his "You'll fall for another. Someone you look at, the same way you look at me."
