Drarry; A Comfort Story

Chapter 17

Draco POV

I walked into the Great Hall for lunch, and instantly realized something was off. Harry should be here by now, where is he? I saw Hermione reading a book, with Ron at her side. I strode over too them.

"Harry's in our common room." Hermione smirked, without looking up from her book.

I didn't even have to ask. Wow.

I walked out of the Hall and to the Gryffindor common room. I said the password (I heard Ron say it a couple nights ago) then walked in. There sat Harry, on the couch, by the fire. He looked wonderful. I'm so lucky he's my boyfriend. He turned his head toward me, and his face lit up. I strut over to the couch and sat beside him, putting my arm around tiny waist. He put his head on my shoulder.

"How'd you get in?" The pure curiosity in his voice.

"I heard Ron say the password a couple nights ago. Why aren't you eating?" I looked down at him.

"I was too tired. I just felt like cuddling up in a blanket by the fire, because you weren't there. It's freezing out. Winter break is soon, you know." He looked back up at me.

"I know that. That reminds me though, do you have any plans for Winter break?"

"The Weasleys invited me over. I felt like they should have their family time though, so I declined. So, I was planning to stay at Hogwarts. How about you?"

"I was going to the Malfoy Manor, to visit my mother. She's lonely. I know it may bring bad memories for you, but would you like to come along?"

"I'm not sure. Could you ask your mother if I can first?"

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind, Harry. But I'll write to her before then, for you."

I gave him a kiss on his forehead, and we just cuddled by the fire for a bit, till Harry fell asleep. I picked him up bridal style and carried him to his room. I laid him down on the bed, and I lay down with him. I wrapped my arms around him, and pulled him close, as an instict to protect him. I also, soon fell asleep.

Third Person POV

Ron and Hermione were sat at the Gryffindor table, eating. Ron was curious as to why Draco hadn't come back yet, thinking he was just going to bring Harry back. After telling Hermione this, she simply replied-

"He never said he was just going to bring him back, Draco just wanted to know where Harry was."

"He never even got to ask, you just responded. How do you know that's what he wanted?" He argued.

"Because he left in our common room direction, and hasn't returned yet. I assume they have fallen asleep, after cuddling for a while. It's typical in their relationship."

Ron said nothing else. He knew better than to argue with Hermione. After dating her for a while, he would know. Harry equally knew that as well, after being best friends with her for forever. They continued to eat in silence, till Pansy and Blaise came over. Blaise and Ron got into a heated argument over which Quidditch teams were better, while Pansy and Hermione were having a nice conversation over classes that day. After about ten minutes, Pansy realized her OTP wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Where's Drarry?" She questioned Hermione.

"Draco and Harry are in the Gryffindor common room, probably asleep while cuddling." Hermione said simply.

"Oh, okay. That's good, at least they aren't fighting. Unlike a few somebody's over here." She pointed to their boyfriends.

"Let them be for a moment, Pansy. I'm sure it's just a friendly fight. If it does start to get physical, we are right here to stop them. Although the better idea would be to get a Professor."

"It would be stupid to get into a physical fight over Quidditch teams." Pansy rolled her eyes.

"It's clearly not just 'Quidditch teams' to them." Hermione smiled.

"They're guys, what do you expect?" Pansy smirked, followed by another eye roll.

The rest of lunch was normal. Soon it was time for everyone to go back to their common rooms. Ron and Hermione talked all the way there. Once the reached their destination, Hermione immediately sat on the couch to read, while Ron went to his room. He saw Harry and Draco cuddling on Harry's bed, and smiled to himself. He didn't expect Harry and Draco to get together. Considering the Draco he used to know, it was totally unexpected.

Ron knew Harry had been doing a lot better since he started dating Draco. Harry was also taking better care of himself. Ron was happy, as long as Harry was. Ron then realized that he was less satisfied then he thought he was when Harry was dating Ginny. It seemed Harry was much happier with Draco, that was clear. Ron climbed into bed for a short nap, because that's all he felt he could do. He lay down and fell asleep smiling.
