Unfortunate Circumstances

Day Three

All characters belong to JK Rowling 

Draco

He woke up in the early hours of the morning again. He fell asleep on one of the desks in the library had his neck and shoulders were aching but it was worth it. He had spent nearly the entire night trying to find something but the place was a mess, with pages flying everywhere and shelves scattered on the ground.

He sat up and stretched, his shoulders popping. He had to get back before anyone noticed that he was missing. That didn't mean he had to stop researching. He grabbed as much as he could carry and made his way back to the hospital wing.

As soon as he got back he put everything down on Harry's beside table and curled up on the chair. He started to read. Harry's laboured breathing in the background.

Draco was so absorbed in the book he didn't hear Harry wake up. He didn't notice the way his eyes blinked open and he didn't notice the smile that formed on his lips when he saw Draco reading next to him.

"You aren't going to let this go, are you?" Harry said when he saw what Draco was reading (the use of souls in witchcraft by T.H Lovelance)

Draco jumped. "I don't know what you're talking about" he said closing the book and putting it down.

Harry let out a soft laugh and Draco's heart fluttered. What did this boy do to deserve his fate? Draco wondered. While he still figured that the world hated him he considered that maybe the world hated Harry even more. If that was possible.

"How are you feeling?" Draco asked him.

"Like I've been hit by a hippogriff" Harry replied. Draco winced in sympathy. He knew that feeling all too well. "Have you found anything yet?" Asked Harry.

"Just a bunch of 'a dead soul is a dead person'" Draco replied opening the book again. He will find something. He has too.

"Great" Harry said. He started coughing and Draco looked up.

"You okay?" he asked. Harry gave him a thumbs up but didn't say anything. He just lent back into the pillows.

Draco could feel Harry watching him as he read. What surprised him the most was that maybe he didn't mid it.

                                                                                                                                                        

Ron

When Ron and Hermione walked into the Hospital wing they found Draco curled up on the chair next to Harry with a book in his lap. Ron was about to say something when Hermione put her hand over his mouth.

"Look" she said point at Harry and Draco. Draco had placed his book down and was now holding Harry's hands. Harry's face flashed with surprise before he smiled. He said something to Draco but Ron couldn't hear what it was. The whole scene left him wondering what the hell was going on.

Before Hermione could stop him, Ron barged over towards the two boys.

"What on earth is going on here" he bellowed.

Draco flinched and Harry raised his eyebrow.

"Hello Ron, nice to see you" he said.

"What is Malfoy doing" Ron asked.
