Ugly Truth

Chapter 6

Third person POV

Harry had stayed at Draco's last night, he was really nice and Harry just felt okay. He wasn't skiddish after, they hugged a lot. Who would've thought? Draco Malfoy hugging Harry Potter? But they woke up and made their way to breakfast, and when he walked in, all heads turned to him. He was so confused. Harry shook it off when whispers started again and sat down.

"Harry? Is it true?" Hermione asked before he'd had a chance to sit down. "Is wha-" Harry started but was cut off by a Slytherin 4th year yell "Oi! Potter! Can defeat Voldemort but can't defend yourself to a bunch of muggles? I call bullshit! Fucking deserve the beatings!" And Harry crumbled, the entire Hall erupting in laughter, Harry was full on sobbing, Hermione was trying to calm him down, whilst Dean and Seamus were holding Ron back from attacking the Slytherins.

All of a sudden there was overly loud barking, and the entire Hall silenced, Sirius had jumped up on the table, he was protecting Harry. He looked up from the table, to make eye contact with Draco, who signalled him to leave the hall. And they both did.

"Hey Harry, c'mere." Draco ushered, and Harry full on sobbed into Draco's chest, like they had last night. "Its okay, I'll protect you Harry. Even if I have to publicly, okay?" And Harry looked up at him, "You'd d-do that for me?" He asked, and Draco nodded, "I'd do it right now if you like." And he grinned, they had potions first lesson, so they could hang out there. "Okay.." Harry whispered and hugged Draco.

Blaise came running down the hall. "Fuck I ship it!" He yelled laughing loudly, causing both boys to jump back, and Harry to blush greatly.

"Oi! Zabini, shut it." Draco chuckled and Harry hid behind Draco, for protection. "Hey Harry its okay, I'm not going to make fun of you, don't worry." Blaise assured, and Draco hugged Harry, leading him to Snapes class, seeing all the professors make their way to the Hall, but Remus stopped when he heard Sirius howling and barking and then saw Harry. "Harry! Whats wrong??" And he and Snape ran over to the three boys, Harry just started crying again.

Right now, Snape was lecturing everyone, Harry and Draco were cuddling in Draco's bed, with Blaise sitting on the side doing his homework, regretting his life decisions. "Look I know you guys are so canon, but I feel like a third wheel here!" Blaise exclaimed, "Shush! Harry's sleeping, and you should go to class. I'm going to take Harry to his room and join you, maybe." Draco hissed, and Blaise shrugged, leaving.

Draco's POV

"Hey lion, you gotta get up.." I whispered quietly, stroking his back. "Noooo" he whined, turning over and burying his face in the covers. I chuckled, but I refuse to give up, "You can go sleep in your room, but I'm not leaving you in the Slytherin tower by yourself." I said, getting up and pulling the covers off him, "Dragon stay with meee" he whined again, "I have to go to lesson though." I sighed, "But you could come with me?" And he looked up, nodding his head slightly, "If the Slytherins don't make fun of me.." He whispered out, "I'll tell 'em to shut the bloody hell up!" I chuckled, pulling Harry up and handing him his shoes, "Okay!" Harry giggled, making my stomach fill with butterflies.

We were currently in class, Harry with Ron, and me with Blaise. People were snickering, and Harry looked like he might cry, anger boiled inside me as well as sympathy. Some Gryffindor yanked his hair, and he cried out, "Awh poor potty need someone to baby him? Someone's gonna cry!" The Gryffindor known as Jeffrey yelled, causing Harry to cry, and the class erupt in laughter. Snape had gone to collect more lizard claws as we had ran out.

All I could hear were Harry's cries, then he looked up at me for a brief second, before burying his head back in his arms, "ENOUGH!" I yelled, everyone, even Blaise, looked at me, I stood up so fast my chair fell over, and I made my way over to Harry, "Hey lion, its okay, come on," I spoke softly, rubbing his arms and helping him up, he latched onto me and sobbed into my chest.

The entire room was silent, and Snape walked in, "What is going on here?" He bellowed, "Granger, explain." I demanded, leading Harry out the room, we heard a bunch of yelling, Harry was still shook up, he was sitting impossibly close to me.

"I'm sorry Dray.." He hiccupped, "Harry, its okay, you do not need to apologize. Those dickheads need to apologize. I promised you I was going to protect you, so I will." I whispered to him, "Let's go and find Remus and Sirius, yeah?" And Harry nodded, walking beside me.

Everyone was in the Great Hall, well all except Harry, he was sleeping. Dumbledor was lecturing us, I was still pissed. I was trying to work out who would tell anyone. I'd ask all the Slytherins tonight. Although I don't think it was them. But there's only two other people that know the Slytherin password, Harry and... Weaslette... That fucking bitch!

I stood up quickly and made my way out the hall "Draco! Where are you going?" Dumbledor yelled, "To go see Harry!" I yelled back, storming up to Harry's room, banging on the portrait, to which the old man grumbled, "Lion, open up its me!" I yelled in, the door swung open and Sirius was there, I could hear Harry's sniffles. "Come in." He smiled, I smiled back and speedily made my way over to Harry.

He hugged me, "Hey Dragon." He smiled, his eyes were raw and he looked exhausted, "Potter, sleep now. We can talk after." I demanded, he just shook his head. "He's been having nightmares recently, so he refuses to sleep." The werewolf explained, laying on his bed. I nodded to that and took everything off, besides my shirt and trousers, climbing in bed with Harry. "Sleep." I commanded, he cuddled into me and nodded, almost instantly falling asleep.
