If I told you I loved you

Chapter 17

Third person POV

Harry and Draco walked hand in hand back to their common room. Draco hadn't taken notice of where Blaise was when he left. But he remembered that everyone else was in the Great Hall.
"We all thought you were in our room, just feeling sorry for yourself. I slept in the girls room because I didn't want to see you." Both boys continued with their eyes on the ground. "But you didn't come out for two days and we were all getting worried. Blaise and I went to talk to you, to somehow get you out of the room but turns out you weren't even in there." Draco explained.
"I was really frustrated with myself, an I don't blame you for being angry with me one bit. I wouldn't have forgiven me if I were you." Harry replied with a sad smile. "But I'm grateful you did."

The pair were now back in the castle, traveling toward their common room, that's where they figured everyone would be.
They rounded the corner and heard a squeal, all of a sudden Hermione was lached onto Harry, like a lion on a mouse.
"Where the bloody hell have you been? I was worried sick after Blaise was yelling in the great hall about your disappearance, when Draco left." She said still clinging onto Harry.
"Sorry 'mione." Harry whispered to her. She pulled away an looked harry in the eye.
"Hey, its alright. Just tell us where you're going next time." She smiled at he and grabbed his arm, Harry winced and Hermione raised her eyebrow up at him. Her eyes grew wide with realisation and she immediately pushed up Harry's sleeve to find scratches and scares.
"Harry," she groaned. "We can help, you don't need to disappear and do this to yourself." Hermione hugged him again. He nodded, Harry felt safe again.
"We better go tell the others we found you, or they'll be looking all night." Hermione announced. Which got a nod from both boys.

Once everyone had been alerted and told of Harry's return, the six friends all went back to their common room. Harry had been forgiven by Draco, which gave everyone else the all clear to accept Harry again, nothing about Draco was bought up, or what Harry did in the shrieking shack, only Hermione and Draco knew.
"Harry go have a shower mate, you stink!" Ron said swatting the air with his hand. Harry chuckled and punch Ron in the arm as he turned toward his room. The others went to sit in their spot next to the fire place.
"He's not alright is he?" Ron asked. Draco and Hermione shared a look.
"What do you mean?" Hermione tried to act dumb.
"You know what I mean 'mione, you can see it in his eyes. When he cut Draco, it wasn't just Draco's problems which made him do it, it's his as well. He isn't alright in the head, I can see it." Ron admitted, he looked down at his knees and twiddled his thumbs. Pansy patted Ron's back.
"I'm sure he's fine, it's Harry. He went through a war and he's still keeping it together." Pansy tried to comfort Him but she knew Harry was being affected.
"Ron's right pans'." Draco let out. "He did it to himself this time." He added. Hermione hit his arm from the spot next to him.
"He probably doesn't want everyone to know Draco!" She harshly whispered at him even though everyone could hear her.
"Know what? I am so confused." Blaise was a bit slower that the others, so Draco held him out by gesturing to his wrists.
"Oh, alright I got it now." Blaise said seriously. Ron and Pansy laughed lightly at Blaise's obliviousness.
"So what are we gonna do?" Draco asked, looking mainly at Hermione for an idea. Her pointed back at him.
"You, go see what he's doing now, if he's okay." She said an Draco nodded as he stood to got see Harry. He walked in the bedroom and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Hello, Harry?" Draco asked, he got no answer. "Harry!" He yelled. Draco was now concerned, and not worried about Harry's privacy. He alohamoraed the door and burst through to find Harry singing in the shower with a silencing charm on. Draco chuckled and shook his head. Harry didn't notice Draco was standing there so Draco just, decided not to bother him. Draco went back out to sit with the others and wait for Harry.

Ron had told Ginny about Harry's disappearance, she was worried sick. She decided to visit the Slythindor common room to check for any updates. As she was let into the portrait, Harry came out of his room all freshly showered with clean pyjamas on. H
She ran to him and hugged but just like Hermione had.
"Harry, I'm so glad your okay." She half squealed in his ear. Draco watched on and felt extremely jealous, seeing as this was Harry's ex girlfriend.
"Ginny." Is all Harry could say, with an amazing smile on his face. Even though he was no longer straight nor dating Ginny, Harry felt like he could hug Ginny for the rest of his life. Her hugs made the pain go away, they made Harry feel loved, being in a familiar embrace. But it wasn't like a lovers hug, it was like a mothers hug, full of love and comfort, something he had never felt but hugging this girl is what it would've felt like.

Later that night everyone had gone back to their rooms and Ginny had stayed for a while before going back to her common room. Harry and Draco were finally sleeping in the same bed again.
"God it feels good to be the little spoon again." Harry admitted. Draco smiled and kissed Harry's neck.
"It feels good to have you back." Draco mumbled against Harry's skin, but Harry was already asleep. The poor thing was exhausted.
"Goodnight scare head." Draco said and snuggled closer to his boyfriend. He didn't know what was to come in their future but he knew whatever it is, they could do it together.
