Heart of a Servant

Chapter 8: your place

Draco P.O.V.

This was tiring. Why did Potter even call me out. I hadn't done anything, not like I could in the first place. It didn't take long for the 2 to start arguing. I was ready to walk away before my arm was grabbed and we apparated.

We arrived at our destination but I felt sick. Everything had began spinning and I couldn't see straight. Where on earth are we?

I looked at the person that brought me here and to no ones surprise, Potter. It took a moment before I could see what was going on. We seemed to be in an abandoned room in the castle. It seemed familiar but I wasn't sure exactly what this place was.

A moment had passed and a snap could be heard. The room slowly changed and got a bit more light.
It wasn't long before I saw Potter walk towards a now visible seat and sat there with no hesitate pouring himself what appeared to be tea.

Potter: "... So."
Draco: "So?"
Potter: "Those kids..."
Draco: "Their the only family I still have, what about it?"
Potter: "Malfoy that's not true and you know it."
Draco: "Oh and what is so wrong about that your majesty. Last time I was aware, being diss owned, having dead relatives and family in azkaban while being told I'd be living with someone that hates me for the rest of my life was not family. Just because life was kind you doesn't mean it's kind to everyone Potter."

Somehow, I hadn't realized tears were rolling down my face. I looked away hoping that Potter didn't notice. I felt a bit heart broken. Nothing had gone the way I wished since that reject of a dark Lord worked with father and now I'm paying the price for simply being associated. What a wonderful world isn't it.

I turned and tried to make my way to the door then suddenly I felt arms around my waist and someone hugging me from behind.

Harry: "I'm sorry Malfoy. I hadn't thought about it like that. We just assum-"

Upset I pushed him away and slightly angered I replied.

Draco: "assumed what? That I WANTED to work for the dark Lord? That I WANTED everyone dead? Well such a shame, cause no one ever bothered to ask me what I actually wanted."

Before he could say anything, I wiped the tears from my eyes and stormed out and headed straight for my room. Why did I ever have to like such a twat.

After a few hours and calming down, the horror of what I said just came to mind. I broke the first rule of our contract.

I unconsciously began to panic and try to think of a way to resolve this without... That... Happening again. Heck make matters worse I didn't just break one... I broke several.

THE FOLLOWING DAY

I woke up the next morning hoping and praying that Potter would let what I said slide. Normally I could just walk away but given the situation I was doomed.

After dressing I made my way out of my room and the Slytherin dorms to be greeted by what felt like death himself. Potter was there, standing right next to the bloody painting! I internal cursed myself as I did my best to politely greet him as if nothing happened the previous day.

Suddenly I felt him hug me. My face began to heat up from the closeness. Thankfully, my face was against his chest, completely hidden from him or anyone that passed. What was worse was I also grabbed his coat as if holding on for dear life.

Potter: whispering into draco's ear, "Draco... I'm sorry for what I said yesterday. I really didn't consider asking you well... Anything honestly. Let me make it up to you."

My heart began pounding. Why did he have to say it like that, not to mention in my ear!! I quietly nodded as to quickly get out of the situation. Draco bleedy Black-Malfoy, do not make it obvious you have feelings for the twat you ponce! But then again... It was kinda hot. Ahhh, that not the point! Why was it so difficult to control myself.
