Chapter 78

They all chatted after that and when lunch was finished they went back to working. 

Except for Pansy, of course. 

The rest of the day was much less gloomy for Harry, only the reminder of his boyfriend's absence and the lack of texts or calls from him seemed to bring him down. 

Nonetheless, he tried not to let it bring him down too much.When he had enough time he went into the staff room and looked inside his tote bag because head to renew the book he was reading. 

As he took it out something caught his eye, reaching back inside and he pulled out a lollipop.

He stared at it for a moment before realizing where it was from. He hadn't remembered putting one of the watermelon lollipops Draco had given him for valentine's day in his bag but figured Draco himself must have put it in there. 

He smiled fondly and tucked the book under his arm, unwrapping the sugar candy and popping it in his mouth, the sweet and almost stinging flavor of the watermelon coating his taste buds. 

Harry went to one of the self check outs and scanned the book before holding out his library tag that served as his library card. 

He grabbed his receipt and shoved it in his pocket, walking back to the staff room to put the book away.

Harry then walked around the library to see if there were any books out of place, running a hand through his hair and picking up a few books, setting them on the racks he hauls around all day. 

He found a particular book that was open and faced down, Harry grabbing it and as he closed it his eyes skimmed the page mindlessly, catching the words '..his tight grip on her hair as he fucked her throat..'. 

He sputtered and the lollipop in his mouth nearly fell, composing himself and he looked at the closed book as if it had just smacked him across the face. 

He blinked rapidly and heat creeped up onto his cheeks in a light blanket of warmth, setting the book down on the rack and beginning to wheel it around again. 

Finally, the end of the day came, 7:00 PM and Harry could finally go back to his house. 

Pansy said that she was going to go back with Astria and her mom to get her dress and purse and all that and might as well stay the night. 

Harry stepped out into the cold and traffic filled night, walking to his car quickly with his hood on since it was still dumping rain. 

He got into his car and set down his things on the passenger's seat, pulling out of the parking space and huffing out a breath when he saw all the traffic that was coming, quickly speeding out of the parking lot.

Draco awoke with a start, something landing on his stomach which startled him and he sat up. He groaned as his head pounded, his ears ringing quietly every now and then.

He hissed in pain when something scratched his chest and something hissed back, opening his sleep crusted eyes to find Harry's furball he calls a pet. 

Charles was gracefully standing between Draco's legs now on the bed, the hair on his back slightly raised and as he was about to pounce again, Draco swiped his hand in the air making the feline magically freeze in midair and float away. 

Stupid cat, Draco thought to himself as he looked down at his chest, a burning sensation where three thin marks that looked like three thin red threads. 

The cold suddenly hit him after the small distraction and goosebumps erupted on his pale skin, the fact that he was wearing only boxers potentially a contributing factor as to why.
