Draco woke up in the Slytherin common room. "I... How..."

There was a scared Fourth Year girl kneeling behind him. "D-Draco?"

Draco jumped a bit. "Yes..?"

"A-are you okay?" She whispered. Her blonde hair was cut short, her blue-grey eyes full of concern.

"I-I... I don't know... Who are you?" Draco asked.

"M-my name is Sarah..." She whispered, helping Draco sit up.

"Sarah... Hi..." Draco sat up. "I've never seen you before..."

"We're not in any of the same classes, it's cool." She said, laughing softly. "I patched up most of the cuts... What happened to you?"

"Um... My father..." Draco sighed. "How did you know my name?"

"You're Draco Malfoy, for fuck's sake." She said, rolling her eyes. "You're the only Slytherin that every single person knew even before we came here."

Draco blushed a bit. "Oh, bad things I'm assuming?"

She snorted. "Sure, if half the girls and guys drooling over you is a 'bad thing,' then yes."

"Oh..." Draco chuckled softly. "Interesting."

She smiled softly, standing up and offering a hand down to Draco.

Draco took it, and stood up. "Thank you."

"I assume that you probably need to go to Madame Pomfrey just incase." Sarah said, smiling softly.

"No... No I'm okay. Have you seen Harry?" Draco asked.

She shook her head. "No, but it'll be pretty easy to find him probably."

Draco nodded. "Thank you for the help, Sarah." He said.

She laughed softly. "Anytime. I know Slytherins aren't supposed to be helpful or shit, but oh well."

"Don't live up to the Slytherin stereotype, okay?" Draco sighed a bit, then walked out.

Sarah waved at him as he left, then sat down on the couch and continued reading her book.

Draco went up to the Gryffindor tower, knocking.

Ron answered the door, eyes wide. "Bloody Hell, Malfoy! Are you okay?" He looked at all the bandages.

Draco nodded. "I'll be fine... Where's Harry?"

"He hasn't been here, mate." Ron said.

"Where..." Draco ran off to look for him.

Snape was in the hall, and put a hand out when he saw Draco. "I'm guessing you're looking for Potter, am I correct?"

Draco nodded, stopping.

"Him and your mother are both safe, come on." Snape said, leading Draco towards a room.

"Thank you." Draco sighed.

As soon as Draco reached the room, Harry was on him, hugging him tightly.

Draco hugged him back tightly. "Oh, Harry..."

"Are you okay? What did he do?" Harry asked, concern written clearly on his face.

"I'm okay... I'm okay..." Draco held him close. "Are you?"

"I'm fine..." Harry whispered, running a hand over Draco's face.

Draco held Harry close, tears running down his cheeks. "I was so so worried..."

"What the Hell were you thinking?!" Harry frowned. "You could've died."

"I saved you, though." The blonde smiled.

Harry rolled his eyes, kissing Draco lightly. "You're such a Gryffindor sometimes."

"I am not!" Draco huffed.

Harry snorted lightly, nodding. "Occasionally."

"I'm 100% Slytherin." Draco crossed his arms.

"More like ninety seven percent." Harry snickered, Narcissa and Severus laughing too.

"As long as I'm not Hufflepuff." Draco scoffed.

Harry let out a chuckle as he kissed Draco to hush him, smiling.

"I suppose I could be slightly Gryffindor." The blonde grumbled.

"I know." Harry mumbled against Draco's lips.

"I guess... Maybe I would be Gryffindor if it wasn't for my family name." Draco said.

Harry nodded. "I get it, baby."

Draco cuddled him.

Harry cuddled back, nuzzling him.

"I'm just so glad you're alright." Draco whispered softly.

"I'm glad you're okay. You could've died..." Harry said, frowning.

"I almost did." Draco sighed.

"What happened?" Harry asked, leading the blonde to a sofa.

"Fenrir ripped my guts out." Draco chuckled.

"Oh my Merlin!" Narcissa gasped. "A-are you okay? Who healed you?"

"A Slytherin girl... I think her name was Sarah?" Draco says.

Narcissa nodded and Snape hummed with content. "She's an excellent Potions student."

"Yeah? I've never seen her before." Draco says.

Harry chuckled. "I'm glad she was there. I'll have to tell her thank you later for saving you from more blood loss."

Draco chuckled softly, nodding.

Harry kissed Draco lightly, fingers skimming over the blondes collarbone.

Draco sighed softly. "Touch it..."

Harry nodded, pressing on the Tattoo softly.

Draco shuddered and smiled.

"So, good?" Harry asked, rubbing his finger in circles over it.

Draco nodded. "Yes... Very nice."

Harry smiled brightly. "F-finally..." He whispered, kissing Draco softly

Draco kissed him back. "I love you..."

"I love you too." Harry said, smiling as he buried his face in the curve of Draco's neck.

"Everything's going to be okay." Draco whispered.

Narcissa and Snape left the two curled up together, smiling lightly.

Draco fell asleep against Harry.

Harry curled the boy into the couch, falling asleep too.
