Pt.4 - UNEXPECTED HELP

Now Harry and Draco were alone, in Umbridge's office but no Umbridge in sight.

Harry felt himself spread a heat from his neck to the tips of his cheeks he was embarrassed how he is in a weak and vulnerable position in front the person he would least likely wanna show his vulnerability too.

—*-*—

Draco found himself in Umbridge's office with the one and only Harry Potter and they were alone out of teachers sight, meaning that Draco could say and do whatever he wants without consequences but right now it felt weird and distinguished.

Draco sat down behind Umbridge's desk pretending to read the magazine on Umbridge's desk as Harry wrote in his parchment Draco saw out of the corner of his eye Harry's wincing every once in a while checking his left hand and then hiding it quickly. Draco kept trying to catch a glimpse of Harry's left hand and whatever was causing this obvious pain, which he was hiding.

Draco finally caught a glimpse of Harry's hand and his eyes widened he would've audibly gasped but he quickly realised that Harry was looking at him nervously his eyes shooting around Draco's face to read his delicate features. Draco decided he needed a quick cover up and said the first thing that popped up.

"Got a staring problem Potter?" Draco asked he sneered and added a quick but fake snicker to add to the situation, Harry weirdly looked relaxed from Draco's reaction and Draco looked back down at his magazine utterly confused.

Draco huffed into the magazine not quite sure what to do, he didn't like Potter but he never wished Potter Absoulute despair and pain, especially after what Draco had witnessed earlier in the corridor with harry he couldn't put all the pressure on Potter he would surely crack.

He made a quick plan and swore he would make it up to himself later and right now he had to do what had too be done, he neatly packed the magazine back into the drawer of Umbridge's desk. He swiftly stood up and walked over to harry who hadn't realised Draco walking over to his desk as harry was too busy dealing with pain in his left hand. Draco walked over to harry and rolled his eyes when harry didn't notice that Draco was standing directly behind him.

"Potter" Draco spat and harry jumped spinning quickly nearly falling of his chair as his left hand ached to much to grasp on anything for support he looked worried and quickly hide his arm behind his back from the Malfoy who looked quite scary from this angle.

"M-malfoy" harry stuttered and a swear formed between his eyebrow and dripped down his nose, Draco leaned down to match Harry's shorter height.

"Show me your hand Potter" Draco said but this time his tone was soft and elegant, Harry reluctantly pulled his hand out from behind himself and put it out in front of him towards Draco. Harry usually wouldn't do this, yes he shouldn't be trusting Draco Malfoy but he was in so much agonising pain he couldn't think properly in the moment and just listend to Draco hoping he could do something.

Harry closed his eyes not knowing what's coming next, if Draco was going to laugh and tell the whole school about his vulnerability or if he was going to top of the pain with a few hexes. Harry was waiting, waiting for impact or the pain to hurt more but instead he felt a Draco mutter something under his breath he closed his eyes harder waiting for the agonised hex to hit him. He felt a soothing sense rush all over his arm and spread though his body he opened his eyes to see Draco holding his arm and holding his wand over Harry's arm that's now covered in bandages that ravelled out of Dracos wand.

Harry froze he didn't know what to do he stared at the blonde boy kneeling in front of him wrapping his arm neatly in bandages, he was muttering and mum king under his breath. Harry heard him mumble something about ' Umbridge' and 'crazy'.

"Ministry my arse" he muttered, Harry couldn't help himself and crack out a grin. Draco stood up and walked back to his original spot behind the desk.

"T-thank you" Harry said, looking everywhere but Draco, he blushed a tinge of pink. Draco smirked at Harry but not his usual sinister smirk it was a playful smirk in a friendly way.

"You owe me one Potter" he snarled but still in a playful tone, Harry stared at him in shock he couldn't react, he didn't know why Draco was acting so different and not so cruel.

"Well Potter you can leave, I'll just tell the crazy woman some kind of excuse." She smiled but not a genuine smile, Harry studied his face closely not knowing what else to do in the moment he noticed that his eyes didn't crease under his eyes when people usually smile.

Harry got up and quickly grabbed his quill and stuffed it into his bag he left Umbridge's quill untouched on the desk, he got up and just before he left the door he looked over at Draco.

"Thanks" he sceptically smiled and walked out and headed to the common room mind flooding with thoughts of the blonde boy from earlier, stifling a yawn every minute or so his hand aches but it didn't ache as bad at it did earlier.
