The next morning.
•Harry's Pov•

I wake up to find draco fast asleep next to me, holding me. I smile. Im glad he isn't asleep on the chair again. I know from past experiences or well i guess from another timeline that those chairs aren't comfy to sit on, never mind sleep on. And im glad he cares enough about me to actually stay.. hermione and ron probably wouldn't have unless dumbledore payed them to.

I lie, looking up at the ceiling, my mind wandering.

After a while, I feel a hand on my shoulder, distracting me from my thoughts. I jump.

''Sorry!'' Draco says, looking guilty. He pulls me into his arms.

''It's okay, don't look guilty. Thats my thing,'' i tease. I lean my head on his shoulder.

''Oh trust me. I know,'' he says.

''What does that mean?'' I ask, confused.

''Whenever we break rules or skip class, you always look guilty,'' draco sighs.

''Do i?''

''No! You're gulliable,'' he laughs. 'It's usually your idea to break the rules!'

''No fair! I have no memories,'' i complain. I lightly punch him in his stomach.

''Ouch, scar head!'' He teases.

''that didn't hurt, blondie. I may have no memories but i'm not dumb!'' I poke him in his stomach.

''Okay that one did hurt,'' he laughs, rubbing his stomach.

''i know,'' i smile.

''Do you feel okay?'' Draco asks me.

''Yes?'' I say, confused.

''Good,'' draco gets out of bed. He turns all of the machines off.

''What are you doing?'' I ask, surprised.

''I'm getting you out of here,'' draco smiles,''now come on,'' he pulls me up out of bed.

I sway a little bit but he holds me upright.

''Easy now,'' he says softly.

''Im okay,'' i hold onto draco,'' its just I've been in bed for days.''

''I know, i know,''draco tightens his grip and leads me outside.

The wind immediately makes me feel better. I exhale. Draco leads me over to the river just outside of the forbidden forest. He helps me sit down before he sits down next to me.

''Thanks for this draco. I feel slightly better now,'' i smile, taking my shoes and socks off. I put my feet in the water. The colour returns to my face.

''You're welcome harry. You needed fresh air. Just.. maybe be on the lookout for any professors,'' he suggests with a laugh.

''I forgot about them,'' i say, swinging my legs in the water.

''I guess thats good,''draco responds,''that means you're relaxed.''

''I am really relaxed,'' i exhale,'' i wish i could feel like this all the time.''

''How exactly do you feel?'' Draco asks, lying down and resting his head on his hands.

I look out at the river and sigh,''i feel free and safe.''

''That sounds nice,'' draco smiles. He picks a nearby flower.

He pulls his wand out and mutters a spell. The flower grows fully. Its a beautiful blue cornflower. Draco reaches out and hands me it.
