Confessions In The Dark (Drarry) ✔

Chapter 4

Draco had just been notified of the time of his first 'confession session' as he reffered to it. It was this Saturday in Dumbledore's old office at 8 a.m. Draco kind of looked forward to it, as it was his chance to finally get things off his chest. He was still anxious about that person spreading his secrets though. That, he could not deal with. So he made a plan, just to be safe.

He would start off with information that was mostly known about him, just to see if anyone would try to ridicule him with it. If yes, he'd know whoever they were were betraying him and he would cancel the project. If not, he'd know he could trust this person.

Currently he was in class, not paying much attention as he was in thought. He snorted quietly at how Harry would have surely scolded him for not paying attention, if he were here. Stupid saint Potter...

He was still turning over his mind why Harry had decided to become such a good friend to him all of a sudden, and why he, himself, enjoyed it as much as he did. It was just friendship, after all, it wasn't like Harry was keeping him alive. Draco felt his head start to ache from the thinking and he simply shrugged, deciding not to dwell on why Harry was so interested in being his friend for too long.

When class finally ended he decided to walk through Hogwarts, that always seemed to help him clear his cluttered thoughts. When he was passing the Gryffindor common room though he saw Harry huddled outside, on the floor, using his cloak to warm himself, only his head visible.

The sight was absolute misery. It hit something inside Draco hard and a pang of pain struck him. He couldn't even fathom why Harry's "friends" would do that to him, just because he was friends with someone they didn't like! It was highly cruel and rather daft, but what really made him ticked off was the fact he could do nothing about it.

He couldn't force them to let Harry in, nor talk to them since he'd likely have his teeth knocked out before he could even say a word. Harry's head was lolling onto his shoulder and he was asleep but uncomfortably so. Draco looked around to see if anyone was there, before taking the cloak off Harry and placing it in the box next to him.

He shrinked the box and put it in Harry's pocket before picking him up bridal style and panicking slightly about the fact that Harry was so light. Draco shook his head and headed for the Slytherin common room. When he arrived the snake from the portrait hissed at him:

"You have company I see. A Gryffindor none the less. I wonder what compelled such an action."

Draco looked at the portrait and back down at Harry, who seemed so peaceful when he was asleep:

"He saved my life on multiple occasions."

The blonde replied before quickly muttering the password and going inside, heading straight to his dorms. He placed Harry in his bed and covered him with a blanket, before taking a pillow and some bed sheets from his closet and falling asleep on the floor.

When Harry woke the next morning he wasn't sore and he was warm. What? He was sure he fell asleep on the...floor..He finished his thought as he saw he was in a bed. A green bed. He sat up to look around only to notice Draco sleeping on the floor next to the bed. Oh...now it made sense.

He looked at the blonde for a while longer, admiring his actual beauty. Harry could admit that Draco was handsome any day, no biggie, because the blonde was and Harry was sure Draco knew that. So he wasn't ashamed of thinking that. It was just a fact and that was it.

Just a fact.

Draco stirred in his sleep and Harry quickly averted his gaze elsewhere, not wanting to be caught staring. Not like we never stared at each other before though...His mind added as an afterthought.
