Suffocation

Chapter 24

Harry and Draco landed just outside the forest, and Harry realized what happened. He put his hand on the nearest tree.
"Only true friends of ours, that will accept us, will be able to find us. Lead them to us, should they be searching for us." The forest gave off a hum of acknowledgement, Draco gave him a proud smile. They walked into the cave. Harry, at this moment nearly buckled from exhaustion. Draco caught him.
"Merlin Harry. You must be running on fumes, come on. It's late anyway, let's go to bed." Draco decided, Harry nodded tiredly. Soon Harry and Draco were wrapped around each other protectively. Draco kissed Harry's forehead. And soon they slept.

The next morning, Hermione awoke determined. She met Ron, Neville and Ginny in the common room, and later they met Luna in the Great Hall.
They now stood outside the forest.
"You guys ready?" Hermione asked them, Hagrid you had joined them was the first to nod.
"Wait!" A voice exclaimed, And Hermione turned to see Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini rushing to catch up.
"What are you lot doing here?" Ron exclaimed,
"As you may know Draco is our friend, so we decided to join you. This way we can all find them." Pansy huffed,
"Fine, just don't get in the way." Hermione huffed,
"Mione." Ron gasped,
"Ron, they are right. They are Draco's friends."
"You said Draco."
"He's Harry's mate. So of course I'm going to call him that, Harry is my friend and I accept this, as long as he's happy." Hermione reasoned, and with that they set off. It wasn't long before a fox showed up. It sat right in the middle of their path. Harry was a forest lord, the Fox is here for a reason,
"Are you here to lead us to our friends?" Hermione asked it, the fox stood and walked a few feet before stopping and waiting for them, so naturally they followed. (Because nothing dangerous has ever happened in the Forbidden Forest.)
They were soon led to a cave. It was beautiful inside. The staircase spiraling around the circular room was magnificent, and the white marble shimmered like pearl. It was really cozy feeling. A centaur came up to them.
"You must be the lord's friends." He greeted, they nodded, "Third room from the bottom."
"Thank you." Hermione replied, and they walked upstairs. The room was nice, red and green. Gold and Silver. But not slithering green, a forest green, more like Harry's eyes. The silver was more magical than slytherin. On the master bed, lay Harry and Draco, wrapped up together, still fully clothed, thank goodness, but sleeping peacefully. Hermione cooed, as did Pansy. Draco woke at the sound. He smiled when he saw the audience. Hagrid couldn't fit through the door, so he was waiting downstairs. Explanation time.

Hi guys, so I updated again. So my birthday is tomorrow so the next update might be a little bit later than usual but I plan to get it out ASAP. And guess what. I'm seriously obsessed with the show Merlin right now, and I just love this scene below. You don't have to watch the show to understand or anything, it's just hilarious and I laugh every time I watch it.
