Harry's POV

Hermione and I had been sitting at Ron's bedside for the last two hours. Hermione's eyes were still puffy and red, and she was clinging to Ron's hands like it was the end of the world.

It had been a day, and madam Pomfrey said Ron would be waking up any hour now, which is why i was stuck here with Hermione.

Don't get me wrong, I care deeply about my best friend, but I don't see the point of sitting here and staring at him, when I could be doing my homework, or being consoled by my boyfriend.

Speaking of which, I hadn't seen him since we split up yesterday to go to our common rooms.

"Hey, Hermione, I'm going to get my homework to work on, because as interesting as staring at a lifeless figure is, I need to get some work done. Do you want me to get your stuff too?" she just shook her head and I left the room.

I made my way through the corridors, going the longer way to my common room, because I needed to get up and walk.

I was pulled suddenly into an empty classroom and into someone's arms before I knew what was happening. Luckily, I saw a flash of blonde hair and gray eyes.

"Hi draco" I said, wrapping my arms instinctively around him and burying my face in his chest.

"Hi.. How are you holding up?" he asked heasatentaly. "You know, the best you can do when your friend won't wake up from a near death situation" I replied, my voice muffled from his chest.

I felt him nod before pulling me closer to him.

Finally I spoke. "I wish that bad things would stop happening to the people I love."

"I know... it sucks," Draco said soothingly, running a hand softly through my hair. I sighed, realizing I should get back to Hermione before she started wondering where I was.

"What?" Draco asked me. "I should get back to Hermione," I mumbled, looking up and giving my boyfriend a quick peck on the lips. "Alright, well, I'm glad I could help," Draco said, giving me a rueful smile, and pulling me down for another quick kiss.

I walked away, feeling better. I was glad that Malfoy felt comfortable comforting me, and I hoped he knew I would do the same for him.

Draco's POV

I was glad I could comfort harry. He seemed so sad when I saw him, with red puffy eyes and circles under them.

I was also just glad for a bit of time with my boyfriend in this mess. I hated that as soon as we confessed our feelings to each other our lives went to hell.

My heart ached for a normal day with him. Soon I promised myself.

Soon I'll take him on a date. And maybe we'll start to be a normal couple... but a small part of me wondered if we could really be normal. We were enemies for six years, could we really go past that?

I looked around the empty classroom, doubts filling my mind. What if Harry suddenly realized that he deserved so much better? What if he woke up one day and realized he liked someone else?

I tried to fight back the doubt, but it was like once it placed its roots in my mind, it wouldn't go.

Sorry for another short chapter, I've been swamped with schoolwork. Have a lovely day/night and please vote and comment if you like this book. Love y'all<3
