Draco's POV

Ever since that night, Harry has been weary of me. Always glancing at me worriedly, ignoring me and actually being successful. He's definitely nervous that I'll tell people about our conversation, and usually I would but, this is something that I can understand, a line I can't cross because I know how it feels. Yeah, that's right, I was raped as a kid too, but it clearly hasn't affected me the same way as it affected Harry. I needed to tell him that I wasn't going to tell people about it. I couldn't stand our silence, usually whenever I'm bored, I would always go and find Harry to tease him, but it hasn't been as satisfactory as it used to be. I don't take joy in it anymore which I still need to find out why.

I hear some shouting down the hallways and run to see what's going on. I see a Hufflepuff and two Ravenclaws beating someone up, but I can't see who. I go closer to the fight and finally see who they're fighting. It's Harry, and from what it looks like he's not even fighting, he's just taking the blows, one after another and not even doing anything about. I can't believe that the kid that killed Voldemort is letting a bunch of students beat him, he really has no survival instinct.

Before I knew it I was walking towards the scene not even knowing what I was going to do but I knew I had to do something.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask.

"Just showing someone a lesson." The Hufflepuff said.

"And what lesson is that?" I ask them.

"Well, while Harry Potter here has lived the perfect life, all of us had to suffer, now, we need to show him what it means to be us." Said the Ravenclaw currently kicking Harry in the side.

"Well, get out of here." I said and they looked at me in shock.

"What? Why?" The Hufflepuff asked.

I figured the only way to get them to leave was to lie, so I did.

"I want to teach him a lesson of my own if you don't mind?" I asked cracking my muscles and all three of them grinned.

"Of course." The Hufflepuff said.

"We'll leave you to it." The Ravenclaw said and I could hear them whispering about what they thought I would do as they walked away. I just stood there though.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Harry said and I looked down at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you gonna beat me up or something? I prefer it be done as soon as possible." He asked and I sighed and crouched down next to him.

"I wasn't going to beat you up H-Potter. I only said that so that they would leave." He looked up at me in shock.

"What are you gonna do then?" He asked slightly reserved.

"Well, out of the coldness of my heart, I'm going to bring you to Madame Pomfrey." He looked even more shocked than before.

I held my hand out to him, and he took it, slowly getting up putting his weight against the wall.

"Here." I said and placed him arm on my shoulders and I helped him on his way to the nurse.

Pansy's POV

"We need them to see that they belong together guys." I said, walking down the corridor with Mione, Ron, and Blay.

"Yeah, I mean, did you see how successful and happy they were when they were together? They were practically bouncing off the walls with ex-" Ron said but Mione quickly shushed him.

"Guys look." Mione said pointing her finger in front of us. I looked at where her finger pointed and gasped at the sight.

Dray had Harry's arm wrapped around his shoulders while helping Harry walk from what looked like a bad leg.
