quidditch and exams

"I feel much better than yesterday. I have thought about it the whole night, but then I thought that the only important thing is that my father is happy and the rest does not matter. I mean yes, it's sad that my parents are getting a divorce, but my mum is still going to life in our house, so there isn't that much change."
"if you need to talk, you know that i'm always there for you", harry said.

the day passed fast, when they went to dinner, draco noticed that harry's eating habits had gotten worse again. "why aren't you eating?", draco asked harry.
"I'm not that hungry." "but you have to eat." "just like I said, I'm not hungry." harry continued pushing around his food, draco looked at him worried but he didn't say anything.

the week flew by. on saturday was a quidditch match, harry didn't eat or sleep much the last couple of days, because he and draco had slept in separate beds and his nightmares had gotten worse. on saturday morning draco put many different things on harry's plate: scrambled eggs, lots of bread and other things and forced him to eat. "you definitely need your energy. please eat!" harry didn't answer. he started eating a little bit of the food draco put on his plate and drank some water. after that he stood up and left the room without saying anything.
the match started. harry, who was now the slytherin seeker, looked for the golden snitch. after a while, the image in front of his eyes began to spin. his eyes went black and he lost his grip on the broom. harry fell off and landed ungently on the floor.
immediately his friends came and hagrid picked him up to bring him to the hospital wing. he wondered why harry was so light.

harry woke up and saw his friends who stood around him. there were draco, blaise, hermione, ron, fred, george and neville.
"what happened?", harry asked. "you fainted, harry. and I think you know why-"
"harry." professor lupin came in. "can I talk to you?" he looked at them promptly. harry's friends left the room quietly and remus sat next to harry.
"how are you doing?", he asked. "I think- yeah, I'm fine." "you sure?", remus asked skeptically. "I know the whole situation is hard for you, everything is exhausting, but I talked to draco and hermione and the others and you really need to eat more. I promised myself after your parents died that I would always looked out for you. okay? so if you need to talk or if you just need someone, I'm always there for you. and I'm pretty sure that your friends and especially sirius are there for you too."
harry wanted to avoid remus' gaze, so he looked to the side, where pumpkin pies and other sweets were laid out for him. he wondered how long he had been in a faint. when lupin noticed that harry didn't want to talk, he stood up and left the room, to make room for draco. draco sat down on harry's bed, took his hand and looked in harry's eyes. they sat there a long time without saying anything.

on the next day, harry was released from the hospital wing. he went to the slytherin common room and in his dorm he talked with draco and blaise the whole night.

a few weeks later the exams started. harry was doing better, he slept with draco in a bed, so he had no nightmares. after school he was often with remus or hagrid and they talked or just drank tea and ate chocolate or cookies.
the exams also went good. harry studied often with ron, hermione and draco together in the library. it was much to learn, but when they were finished, everybody was happy.

after the exams there was finally the highlight of the year: the end-of-the-year-ball.
everyone looked forward to the ball and everyone was excited about who was going with who and stuff like that.

It's not that long but I'm writing the yule ball chapter now!
