Emotions (A Drarry fanfic)

Chapter 5: "Overwhelming"

Harry's Pov;

"Harry! Come on, you have to wake up! We have class in..." The voice paused. "Less then 5 minutes! Hurry up." I felt a nudge against my body and I groaned.

The person sighed, as they ripped the blanket off of me and rolled my body off of the mattress and onto the floor.

I landed on the ground with a loud thump. Another groan exiting my mouth. "Ouch."

My eyes finally fluttered open as I looked up to see Hermione towering above me, scolding look on her face.

I smiled up at her awkwardly, "morning 'mione." I sat up slightly and slowly began to stand, pushing myself off of the ground. I rubbed my butt muscle... I think I bruised it when I fell.

"Morning?!" She yelled. "We're late! Get dressed you git." Her face calmed a little as she saw me walk towards my cupboard.

"I'll meet you in class, now hurry up." She went to exit the door but stopped, turning back around. "Which is class with Hagrid this morning incase you forgot."

"Thanks." I smiled at her apologetically. She left the room so I got changed into my robes, brushing my teeth and grabbing my books before leaving. I tucked my wand in my pants and hurried to class.

As I walked down the corridors, I couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to cry. Not because I was sad over anything... I just began to feel down.

As I approached where class was being held, I looked over to Malfoy. He stood behind the crowd, body leaned against a tree, and head hanging slightly. His usual sneer plastered on his face.

He's upset... that would explain why I feel it too. I could tell it was bad.

"Now ther' you ar' Harry." The crowd of students looked over to me as Hagrid made it aware I was here. "Open yer book to 244."

I stood beside Hermione and Ron. Then nodded and glanced back over to Draco who now had his head up, looking back at me.

Hagrid began to explain various creatures and how to approach them. I zoned out as I thought about why Malfoy would be upset, especially to this extent.

I'd occasionally glance in his direction, remembering our conversation we had yesterday about the hex/curse. Malfoy must know that I know he's upset.

I'll have to go to the library during my free period and research what exact hex this is. It's hard to believe we're emotionally connected, it's weird.

As Draco and I made eye contact it made me think more. What does this mystery hexer tend to do with us? What if the person who hexed us is here right now?

I looked around quickly, breaking eye contact with Draco. I scanned the crowd of students, none seemed to be looking my way. I breathed out heavily, that got me a little anxious.

I half expected to turn and see someone staring at Draco and I. Luckily that didn't happen.

I turned back to glance at Draco who looked at me as if I were crazy. I raised my shoulders gesturing 'idk what that was' and tried to pay attention to the lesson.

I couldn't shake the feeling of Malfoy's sadness, which is expected.  But it was still overwhelming. Eventually class was over and everyone began to walk back to their next classes.

"You should be thanking me that you didn't miss class completely, Harry." Hermione joked, lucky for me she was in a better mood now.

"Thanks 'mione." I smiled lightly at her, this sadness still weighing me down.

Malfoy was walking in front of us by a few people. His side kicks strangely absent.

"Ah blimey, I forgot my books for next class!" Ron sighed frustratedly.

"We better go and get them before class starts. You coming Harry?" Hermione spoke.

"No it's okay,  go ahead. I'll meet you in class." I replied, smiling lightly.

"Alright, cya in a bit." They hurried off towards our common room, in hopes of not being late.

I stared at the back of Draco's head, still lost on what he'd be upset over.

He turned and looked at me sneering.

Why do I even care, he's still an ass. And with what he called me yesterday... my chest tightened.

But I should at least ask... it doesn't mean he has to tell me...

I picked up my pace as I passed other students.

I neared Malfoy but stayed a few steps behind him. We had agreed to act normal, so it'd be out of character to talk to him normally.

"What do you want." He spoke softly but annoyance clear in his voice.

"You're upset." I spoke softly.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Potter." He enhanced my name.

"I can feel it, Malfoy." I did the same.

"Screw off, it's none of your business." He raised he voice slightly. A few curious people glanced at us.

"I get that but-"

"I said... screw off. Okay?" Draco looked back, but quickly put his head down as what seemed like a drop fell off his cheek, and then sped off away from me.

My chest felt like it was about to explode. Was that a tear? Was Malfoy... no he's upset but he wouldn't let his guard down that much. If it was.. then I need to know what's happening.

The rest of my classes went by quickly, I researched the hux during my free period... but had no luck. I couldn't find anything that talked about linking two peoples emotions.

I ate dinner, yet Draco wasn't in the great hall. By the time that I returned to the common room it had gotten dark. It's about 9pm I believe.

I decided to shower before going to bed, I seemed to really need it. The hot water relaxed my stiff muscles. Today had been quite stressful.

I crawled into bed, being devoured by my blankets. I closed my eyes but as more time passed ai couldn't sleep. This overwhelmingly sad feeling has been with me all day- correction... been with Draco and I all day.

I feel as if Draco hit a low, a low that I haven't felt in a while. My eyes began to leak, as tearing rolled down my cheeks.

Everyone else were fast asleep in their beds. I grabbed my wand and cast a silencing spell as i began to sob heavily.

I felt as if I weren't in control of what I was doing. This sadness seemed to reach into me, making me feel empty. So... lonely.

My sobs only got louder as I thought of me reflecting what Draco was feeling. How could someone be so sad, yet seem perfectly fine.

I felt embarrassed, or maybe Draco did.   Knowing that everything he felt was being shared with me, probably making everything worse.

This is going to be a lot more complicated than we thought.

Sooooo, yeah.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!

Poor Draco is sad:(
