Draco Malfoy Omorashi (Harry Potter)

"I'm not a baby!" // 10

"Blaise is worried about you" Snape said to Draco once he had calmed down. "I know" Draco said, feeling guilty for putting all of his problems on everybody else's shoulders. "Good friends like that don't come round often" Snape smiled. "Shall I go and talk to him?" Draco suggested. Honestly he was avoiding talking to Blaise because he knew that his accidents would be brought up. It was one thing talking to a teacher about them, but it was another thing talking to your best mate about them. "He's heading to the great hall for dinner I think" Snape said, happy that Draco was finally getting back on track with Blaise.

Draco ambled in the direction of the great hall. He was in no rush to go and find Blaise, and found the lone walk really helped clear his mind. He found himself standing at the entrance to the great hall after around 15 minutes. The room was full of other students, all getting their dinner after a long day of classes. He scoured the room in search of Blaise, but instead his eyes fell on Professor Lupin who was sat at the top table alongside several other Hogwarts professors. Draco knew he had to apologise to him too.

He walked briskly between the tables up to the other end of the room. "Professor" Draco said once he was standing in front of Lupin. "Malfoy, I was going to come and find you after dinner" Professor Lupin spoke, a small smile on his face. "Oh, I can wait" Draco said, not wanting to interrupt his food. "No, don't worry, I was just finished" Professor Lupin said, standing up from the table.

Draco and Lupin walked back out of the great hall to find somewhere slightly more private for their conversation. "Professor, I'm sorry about how I reacted before" Draco said sincerely. "I was worried about you. Is there anything you need to talk to me about?" Professor Lupin spoke with the same sincerity as Draco. Draco thought for a moment. He knew Lupin was kind, but he was very reluctant to let people help him, so rejected the thought all together. "No, I'm okay" Draco forced a smile to appear as if he was fine. "Well, if you ever need to talk to me, know I'll always listen" Professor Lupin said, before he smiled and turned to walk away. Draco sighed to himself before looking round the room in search of Blaise again.

Blaise was sat in the far right corner of the room, across from Pansy. The two were deep in conversation and Draco felt nervous to interrupt. He decided he could always talk to Blaise tomorrow, so went to leave the great hall and go back to Snape's quarters.

"Mate, do you want to have dinner with us?" Blaise said, his voice slightly raised so Draco could hear across the room. Draco turned and saw both Blaise and Pansy staring back at him. Blaise had a content smile on his face, Pansy however looked irritated, her face in an angry looking scowl. Draco knew he couldn't just ignore them, so quickly walked over and took a seat next to Blaise.

"I have to go" Pansy said as soon as Draco had sat down. She stood up and left, without another word being spoken to either of the boys. "Oh, bye" Blaise said as she walked away, not understanding why Pansy had started acting so weird.

"Can we talk?" Draco asked once Pansy had gone and he felt more comfortable speaking. "Sure" Blaise said, still tucking in to his evening meal. "Thanks for coming to see Madame Pomfrey with me today" Draco said, not really knowing where to start his conversation. "It's cool" Blaise smiled between mouthfuls. "I'm sorry if I've been distant lately" Draco said, feeling bad for how much he has ignored Blaise recently. "Don't worry, I know you're struggling with a lot at the moment so I get it" Blaise said, his smile never leaving his face. "Did you make a decision about what Madame Pomfrey suggested?" He continued, his dinner now finished so his full attention was on Draco and their consecration.

"I'm not going to do it" Draco said, embarrassed to think that Blaise would even consider that he would. "So what are you going to do?" Blaise asked, concerned that Draco hadn't truly thought his options through. "Ummm" Draco thought. He honestly had no idea. All he knew was that he wasn't willing to wear nappies. "I don't know" Draco admitted. "Well you need to figure something out. You can't keep going the way you are" Blaise said honestly. He didn't want to hurt Draco's feelings, but he wanted him to understand that he needed to do something to stop himself having accidents. "I know" Draco said, an undertone of sadness in his voice. He knew he needed to figure something out, he just didn't know what.
