The princes Green Gem

Part 11

Draco

I slowly turn around to face Harry. I couldn't get out of this, and there was nowhere to run. He'd follow.
He gasps and I whine.
"YOU!" He shouts and stares at me in shock. I'm unsure of what to say or do so I stand there. Wait. Waiting for him to explode.
He holds up his wrist, looks at the bracelet I gave him, and then back at me. Slowly. Way too slowly for my liking, walks toward me. He reaches for my wrist. My left one. Out of old habit, I yank it away. His hand jerks back to himself and his eyes meet mine. His green beautiful eyes. I got lost searching his eyes for something when I feel his hand on my wrist lifting it up. I gulp but allow him to continue. Awaiting the hate speech.
He lifts his and examines them next to each other. They're exactly the same. They're literally half of each other. I had them custom-made.
He sticks them together and they claim and glow bright green. He stares at it for what seems like forever before looking back up at me.
I feel the heat rise to my chicks. "But what?" That was all he asks stilling holding my wrist in his.
I stare at him. I'm not sure what he is asking.
"I really should go.." That was all I managed. "Malfoy. Why? Why did you give me this bracelet? Why didn't you tell me? Why?" I gulp unsure of what to say. 
"I just did okay Potter just drop it." I sneer hoping that will make him leave me alone. "No Draco. Tell me now."
"I know about your drinking problem."
He looks taken back. I don't know why I said that but it seemed easier than to explain why I gave him the bracelet. I didn't honestly understand myself. I just...Did.
"I don't have a problem." I raise my eyebrow at him. "Yeah? Tell that to all the flasks I have stowed away in my closet." He glares at me shocked. "So you have been taking all of my flasks?"
"Yes."
"Give them back."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you have a problem. As I've stated before." 
"No, I don't Malfoy. Now please give them back."
"Harry no. You do reckless things when you drink. I don't want you to get yourself killed." I say honestly as I can.
"Killed Malfoy? Seriously?" He drops my wrist and I rub it. How could I be so stupid as to not cover it up?
"The only thing I've done stupidly drunk slept with you." Ouch.
"Whose fault is that? You came to my room Potter." He looks confused for a second, and I almost smirk. Got'em.
"Doesn't matter Malfoy. Tell me why."
I sigh.
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I'm not ready." let. It. Go. Please. 
"You two have detention For the week starting Monday." Professor Sprout said. Potter and I both jump at her voice. We stare over at her.
"Why? Potter demands. My head snaps to my left to glare at him.
'What are you doing Potter?'
Apparently, he didn't catch that look because he continues,
"We are adults. I literally saved the wizarding world from the dark side, and I'm getting detention because I'm out past curfew?" He demands playing the savior card. I scuff at him but keep quiet. If it'll get us out of this, then by all means.
"Because Mr. Potter you are trespassing on private property. That you are not allowed to go on." Harry glares at her.
He goes to speak up but I stop him by grabbing his wrist.
"We will be there sorry about that Professor." I drag him away.
I don't let go until we reach our common room.
I let go and start toward my room hoping to be done with this conversation.
"Draco?" Harry asks quietly. I couldn't help but stop and turn around.
"Yes?" I mumbled looking at him in the eye.
"I don't know why you gave me this. I would like to know when you're ready. But thank you." I stop myself from smiling big and nod my head. I go to turn around and he grabs my wrist.
"Could I sleep in yours tonight? I don't want to sleep alone and Ron is staying in 'Miones for the rest of the week." He was definitely drunk. I go to say yes then I remember that Harry is engaged to Ginny. I could feel the sour look wash over my face. Filthy bitch.
"What about your fiance?"
I watch his face fall a little. I narrow my eyes at him. Willing him to talk.
"Oh. Yeah sorry." He turns around but I grab him. "Just tonight."
"Just tonight." He confirms.
He follows me to my room. "You can have the bed," I tell him as I strip down. He stands there watching me.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Nothing." He continues to stare at me before I realize he wants something to change into. I throw him my shirt I just took off to make him stop looking at me. I go into the closet to grab him something clean to wear. However, when I walk out I see him facing my bed with only the shirt I was wearing on. A grin breaks my face, this has got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen.
I watch him for a couple more seconds before I put my other clothes back and grab a blanket.
"Hey, Draco.." I stop short of the couch and turn to face something but he didn't speak for a minute.
"Did you need something Harry?" I watch him closely and I notice that he is fighting himself on something.
I go to turn around and he stops me again. But this time with a whisper.
"You can sleep in the bed too. It's big enough for the both of us." My mouth falls open and I turn slowly. "Are you sure?" He nods his head and lays back down.
Him being wasted makes him so soft and gentle and it's honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen.
I slowly make my way toward the bed and lay down making sure to keep my distance so I don't do something stupid.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Just as I was drifting off I feel Harry shuffle over toward me and cuddle into my chest. I smile, kiss his head, and wrap my arms around him. This is how it should be. Us, not them. 
"Mhm," Harry says and for a second I think I said that out loud but I drifted off before I could even think about it.

Waking up I half expect Harry already be gone when I wake up but he wasn't. He was chilling on my bed reading one of my books that's I had on the nightstand.
I stare at him. Half confused.
He looks up at me and meets my eye.
"What?"
I yawn and look at him still. "You're still here?"
He closes my book and looks at me again. "Why wouldn't I be here?" "Because.." well I guess I didn't have an actual reason but still.
"I thought maybe.. maybe you regret staying here. You were intoxicated." He nods his head slowly. "I was but I wasn't that gone I remember everything from last night."
"Okay."
"You're going to tell me Malfoy. One day." I nod my head but not sure if he's right or not.
"Why does it matter?" I demand a little too harshly, I hate being questioned. "Because it was too nice. Even for you." I glare at him. No, it wasn't I can be a very nice person.
"I just felt like it, Potter." Drop it, please.
"Well, I have to go," Potter says abruptly. I watch as he slides on his shoes quickly and exits without a goodbye. 
'Well, that was weird.' 

My day drags on. By noon I felt like I was going crazy. I sat outside reading a book. Since quitting Quidditch I've had plenty of time on my hands. Too much if you ask me. But.. after the war, I never felt the same about the game. 
However, I go because Harry played. I love how his face brights up when he is playing. I am aware he won't be going to the world time games, he settling in going to work with snakes? Maybe Auror. I've heard both. I know he currently has a spot with his name and that Weasley's name on it as soon as he graduates. Perks of having saved the world. 
"What are you doing Malfoy?" Pansy asks as she starts swinging on the tree. 
"Nothing," I answer mutely. Pansy is my best friend but I'm not in the mood to deal with anyone. 
"Well do you want to go to lunch with me?" 
I shrug and jump down. 
"Y'know you shouldn't do that Draco. You'll break your neck one day." If only. "Doubtful." 
She rolls her eyes and we begin to walk to the Great Hall. 
"How's getting Harry to fall for you?" 
"He's engaged remember?" I snap almost feeling sorry but she just laughs so I let it go. 
"Yeah but I'm sure he'll leave her for you." I shake my head. Unlikely.
"I don't think so Pan's. He really does love her, and it helps that she can offer him a family." I grow sad thinking about it. I haven't heard from my mother, and my father well he is forever in Azkaban. I'll never be able to see him again. 
He did leave everything to me. 
I tried finding my mother but couldn't. She just..Disappeared. 
"Hey, Dray? You good mate?" Blaise asks shaking me. I shake my head and look around seeing I was already in the Great Hall. I immediately look over toward Harry however I don't spot him. 
"I heard he asked Ron to move into another room and has locked himself in his room asking for everyone to leave him alone." 
"And he was just granted that?" I demand knowing he'll probably drink himself away. Killing himself.
"Yes, Malfoy. Why you so shocked? He did save the world. I'm sure if he asked to buy Hogwarts for merely a galleon they would allow it." Pansy says stuffing her face with food. 
"And Ron and Hermione just allow this?" 
They both nod their head. 
"Yep. They're the only ones that have access to go in and out." 
"No one else can. Or they will get hurt." 
"Bad," Blaise adds nodding his head. 
"Hm." Was all I say. This is my fault. Maybe if I didn't push him.. Or love him.. Or care for him... He wouldn't feel the need to lock himself away. 
"How long he going to confined himself?" I ask curiously taking a bite of my bread. 
Pansy shrugs her shoulders. 
"I'm not sure. I heard they told him he could take his time, that they will send him his school work in there." 
I nod my head. 
I doubt he'll be in that long. 

Right?
