Draco Malfoy Omorashi (Harry Potter)

"I needed a wee" // 13

"Severus" Lupin said as he walked into Snape's classroom. The room was empty besides Snape, who was sat at his desk marking his 2nd year's homework. Snape took a deep breath in before putting his quill down and looking up in the direction of Lupin. "What is it now, Moony?" Snape asked, his tone exasperated already.

Lupin walked confidently up to the chair in front of Snape's desk and sat down. Although Snape spoke coldly to him, he wasn't afraid of him in the slightest. "I've just finished having a little chat with Draco" Lupin said, to which Snape raised his eyebrows. "Yes?" Snape asked, requesting more detail about this conversation. "He told me he has accidents because of his quidditch injury" Lupin explained. "And?" Snape questioned, not sure what Lupin had come to tell him this for. "I want to know exactly what happened" Lupin said, hoping for once that Snape would be understanding.

"That really isn't any of your concern" Snape growled in response. "He's a student in my class, Severus" Lupin said, believing that it was very much his concern. "You know enough" Snape said, standing up from his desk in an attempt to assert his dominance. "So, I have a pupil in my class who struggles with wetting himself and I don't know how to support him?" Lupin questioned, staying seated and ignoring the threatening behaviour of Snape. "I support him" Snape spoke defensively, growing more agitated by Professor Lupin's insinuations.

"I know you help him a lot, Severus, but in my classroom it is my responsibility to support my students. How am I supposed to help Draco when I don't even know what happened to him?" Lupin said, not resining his voice once. He was in no way trying to take the responsibility of Draco away from Snape. But, he wanted to help Draco not have accidents and embarrass himself while in his DADA lessons.

Snape sighed, and slowly slumped himself back down into his desk chair. He knew that Lupin was right, but was reluctant to admit that. His priority, though, was Draco, so he knew that he had to help Professor Lupin understand what the best way to help Draco is.

"He fell off his broom a few weeks ago and he was falling so fast that Albus couldn't slow him down. He fell onto his stomach. Madame Pomfrey is the one to go to for the in's and out's of the damage caused, but the short of it is that Draco has damaged his bladder and the nerves connecting to it. He is also very nervous around going to the bathroom so finds it difficult to ask" Snape explained as best he could.

Professor Lupin took it all in and sat for a few seconds thinking about it all. "He's in a very hard place" Snape added, feeling immediately sad at the thought of Draco being upset. "How do I help?" Lupin asked, keen to try and make things easier for Draco. "I'm still figuring that out" Snape admitted, slightly embarrassed. "And he wears a nappy?" Lupin asked. "Yes. Just for the moment while we work out how to stop his accidents" Snape replied. "But he is still trying to make it to the toilet, so don't expect him to not need to go" Snape continued making sure he was being clear.

"He trusts you, Moony." Snape said, feeling guilty about his hostility towards Professor Lupin. Lupin smiled, feeling warm inside at what he had just heard. "You help him feel safe" Snape added, not smiling but his tone was less menacing.

Before the situation got too soppy Lupin stood himself up. "Thank you" he smiled, before bowing his head and heading out of the room in the direction of his own classroom; afternoon classes were due to start in 5 minutes.

On the other side of the castle Draco had just thrown his backpack over his shoulder and was about to head to Herbology with Blaise. "Do you want to come to the bathroom with me?" Blaise asked Draco with a toothless smile. Draco smiled back, feeling too embarrassed to verbally respond. He follow Blaise into the nearest bathroom, tugged his nappy down, had a wee, and washed his hands. The two boys then quickly ran off to their afternoon lessons, not wanting to be late.
