It was true that Draco hadn't been the kindest over the years, but it was also undeniable that he had changed over the summer. It had been two weeks since their 6th year had begun and Malfoy hadn't bullied anyone.

And that made people suspicious.

It was late, Y/N coming back from her rendezvous with Draco, being greeted by the golden trio waiting. "Y/N! Where have you been?!"
"Oh sorry, I was in the library studying and lost track of time."
Harry frowned. "Two weeks into term?"
"Yeah, you know me, I like to be prepared."
He didn't buy it, looking at Ron, but didn't push further as it looked like Ron did.

--------------

The weeks passed by quickly, Y/N's friends becoming more and more suspicious of her regular disappearances. Harry watched his crush slip out of the common room for the fourth time that week, rushing to get his invisibility cloak. He was damned determined to find out what she was up to.

Y/N crept along the stairs, going to the first floor where she stood waiting for Draco. Harry waited at the corner, watching the girl with a small smile on his face as she stared at the stars. There must have been another reason for her disappearing regularly, she could see the moon from her window, why come down here for it?

There was a sound behind Harry, so he turned and saw Draco slipping into the boys bathroom.  His blood boiled, Malfoy had been a dick to almost everyone for 5 years, specifically Y/N and Harry's feelings clouded his judgement. Before he knew what he was doing, he followed Draco into the bathroom. Malfoy stood at the mirror, combing his hair and spraying more cologne. He popped a mint into his mouth and even ran some lip balm over his chapped lips. 'What the hell is he going to do?' Harry thought.  This was unusual, seeing Draco actually make an effort. By now Harry had taken off his cloak, waiting for Draco to turn. Once he did, the latter started at the sight of Harry with his wand drawn menacingly.  "Potter? What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing Malfoy."
" I have somewhere I need to be Potter. Someone to meet."
Oh my merlin,  Y/N's been sneaking out to meet Draco! How could she! After everything he's done to her, and us!

"Not so fast Malfoy," Harry raised his want higher,  "sectemsepra!" He watched as cuts appeared all over Malfoy's body, leeching his shirt red. Draco screamed, causing Harry to realise the gravity of what he'd done. "Hello? Is everyone okay in here?"
"Potter, you can't let her see me like this!"
Harry nodded, going outside to meet Y/N, who looked confused as to why he was here. "Harry? What are you doing up?"
"Erm... I needed the toilet?"
"Why not use the ones in the dorm?"
"I wanted the walk? Yeah, I wanted the walk." She looked suspicious now, Harry was definitely acting up. "What was the scream then?"
"Stubbed my toe." He eyebrow raised, "that bad you screamed like a banshee?"
"Yeah it was pretty painful."
Malfoy groaned from the bathroom, causing Y/N to push past Harry to get to him. Once she saw Draco on the floor, she turned  outraged to Harry. "He needs help you idiot! Go get Snape!"
"Right yeah." And he ran for Snape.
Y/N knelt by Draco, doing any healing spells she could think of, but he was losing blood so alarmingly he was so close to passing out. The stress was getting to Y/N now, if the bleeding didn't stop soon he'd surely die. Tears dripped onto Draco, who was too out of it to realise. The last thing he heard was Y/N begging him to open his eyes and the billowing black cloak of Snape.

-----------------

Days passed, Y/N staying loyally at Draco's hospital bed and ignoring Harry. She knew it was him, all this bad blood between them and their petty arguments had led to this. If only he'd got rid of that stupid potions book when Hermione told him to. Draco's hand was cold, lifeless in Y/N's, she was constantly losing hope he'd wake up soon. Snape had managed to slow the bleeding considerably, yet it still took hours for him and Madame Pomfrey to stop it completely.  "Y/N?" She turned to see Ron and Hermione smiling weakly at her, Harry lurking further behind. "Are you okay, we haven't seen you in days and truthfully we miss you." Y/N smiled at Hermione's kindness, thanking her for the fact she ignored her and Draco's joined hands. Ron, however, did not." Why him mate?"
"Ron! You can't say that!"
"Sorry, I just wanted to know; he's been a right arse to us all, especially her!"
"You're right Ron, he was an arse, but truthfully he's just a kid who needs loving like the rest of us. Everyone deserves a second chance, and once I gave him one he charmed the socks off me and I couldn't resist. He's lovely, really."
"And he's really really sorry."
They all turned to see Draco weakly open his eyes. "Draco!" Y/N leaned over to kiss him, making Harry and Ron cringe. Hermione stood smiling for her friend, hitting the two boys "be happy for your friend you idiots!" She whispered.

The three stood for ages, waiting for the couple to stop kissing, eventually Ron cleared his throat before they ate each others faces infront of them. "We're gonna go, so..erm yeah."
"Bye Y/N, bye Draco."
"Oh, and Malfoy," Hermione turned  with a smile, "we'll give you this second chance but if even think about hurting her, remember I have proof of you as a ferret down Crabbes trousers."

And with that she left.

"You know, she's always scared me." A pale faced Draco turned to his girlfriend, "now come on, I've got 4 days of you to catch up on!"
