Ever since Draco and I returned to St. Mungo's the healers and nurses have been struggling to get Harry back into a stable condition. They say that he cut his wrists to the bone and I we were a second later he would already be dead.
Ron and Hermione have been quietly whispering to each other in between crying about their best friends possible death. Draco and I on the other hand have been awkwardly sitting together, and neither of us want to cry so we can be strong for Harry and the others.
After about ten minutes I break and begin sobbing into Draco's shoulder. In response he cries into my hair and we just sit like that, crying into each other wishing and praying that Harry makes it out of this alive.
"Excuse me." One of the healers that we've learned is named Helen says to the four of us after about and hour and a half after I brought Draco here.
"Y-yes." Draco says, barely able to sop crying to get the simply word out.
"Your friend is in a stable condition, for now." Helen says with a small smile of what seems like relief after she sees all of our faces light up because of the best news we've heard all day. "You may go see him if you'd like."
"What room is he in?" Hermione asks, seeming to be more put together than the rest of us.
"221." Helen says simply, before stepping aside so we can go visit Harry.
We all run past her and down the brightly lit corridor. We make sure to look at the room numbers and Ron is the first one to find Harry's.
"In here!" He shouts before storming into the room before the rest of us who follow him quickly.
"Harry!" We all shout in unison when we see our friend awake and smiling at us.
"Hey guys." He says weakly and we can all tell that he lost way too much than he should have in the span of just a day.
"You idiot! Why on earth would bloody do that?" Ron screams as he is clearly concerned as confused, but makes us all flinch all the same.
"...I'm sorry..." Harry says shortly in response, not offering a reason, which just angers Ron further.
"How could you do that too all of the people that care about you? Especially after almost dying during the war! Do you really want to die that much? How much will make us worry about you endangering your own god forsaken life? We don't know what we would do if you died. I don't know what I would do." Ron says and he's visibly shaking and his voice is beginning to tremble and we all can now see just how much he cares for Harry, he loves him as if he were his own brother.
Him and Harry are so much alike but they're also very much different. They take personality traits from each other, they feed off of each other's thoughts and actions. Over the years they've become more alike and I or I think anyone has ever anticipated.
"Your my best friend and you didn't even leave me note if your try at your life would have worked. How could you?" Ron asks, tears building up in his eyes as he clearly feels betrayed and hurt as neither him or none of us receive notes.
"Yes you did... You got a note. I left it on your bed. Your the only one I wrote and note for." Harry says and I can see how he's breaking up inside seeing how hurt and broken up Ron is. "I'm sorry Ron."
Ron walks over to Harry's bed and I think for the first time in their entire friendship he pulls Harry in for a hug, surprising everyone in the room, Harry included.
"Never do that again." Ron says sternly and he leaves no room for discussion.
"Don't worry, I won't." Harry says, hugging Ron back with as much ferocity as Ron. "I didn't realize I would worry you guys that much. I'm sorry, I just got so down the whole I didn't see any other way to escape."
"It's okay Harry, but please never do that again." Hermione says with a forgiving smile in her face.
"I won't."
