Confessions In The Dark (Drarry) ✔

Chapter 5

When Draco left, Harry was sitting there still, processing everything he was told. He had decided to start writing it down, certain it would be much easier to cope and not forget anything. So he turned on the light and took out a notebook, summoned a quill and he began writing everything Draco told him, while it was still fresh in his mind.

Draco exited the office and started walking down the hallway, thinking about what he told this mystery person. It was the mostly known information about him, but telling someone the entire story helped him stop thinking about it all the time, weirdly enough. Just the fact he shared it with someone made it seem more solid, more real and not like something that could be changed or something worth thinking about all the damned time. It just made it a solid event in the past that was done and over with and wasn't worth dwelling on.

He now understood what McGonagall meant when she told him she hoped talking would help him. Maybe, if this person could be trusted, he'd tell even bigger things that hapenned to him and be able to let go of them easier, like he did with this. Draco had no classes today so he just opted to go to his dorms and do some homework and just rest. That plan failed when he saw the Weasley girl waiting for him outside his common room, leaning against the wall.

When she saw Draco approach her face twisted into a look of disgust and Draco stopped himself from rolling his eyes, he didn't want more trouble.

"Death Eater." She greeted him.

"Former." He corrected her. She rolled her eyes and scoffed:

"Whatever. As much as it pains me to have to interact with you this is about Harry and he's my friend so I have to do this."

Mentioning Harry got Draco's interest:

"What about Harry?" He asked, crossing his arms and looking down at the red head girl.

"He's way too stubborn for his own good. We hoped he would learn his lesson by now and realise what he's doing wrong but since he is clearly too stubborn to, I'm here to tell you to ditch him so he can realise his own stupidity."

Now it was Draco's turn to scoff, did she really expect him to do that?

"No. Have a pleasant Saturday Weaslette." He answered shortly and entered his common room, the portrait shutting before the red head could say anything. She was actually stupid if she expected Draco to ditch Harry.

When Monday rolled around, Draco went down to breakfast, seeing Harry already there. He sat down next to the raven boy and this time, he was the one pilling food on Harry's plate. The other looked at him confused:

"Uhm...?"

"When I carried you to my common room the other night I noticed you were ghastly light and that means you weren't eating enough. Eat." Draco said when he was done shoving food onto Harry's plate.

"You're like a mum geez." Harry rolled his eyes playfully and Draco mock shoved him.

"Eat Harry. I can be here all day and not leave until you eat." Draco warned and Harry quickly nodded and started eating.

"Ginny came to talk to me on Saturday you know." Draco began talking mindlessly.

"Really? About what?" Harry asked when he swallowed and took another bite.

"Told me to ditch you so you can 'realise your own stupidity'. I told her no firmly and left." Draco finished not even thinking about what he was saying, he just talked. It was something about Harry that got Draco relaxed and he felt like he could trust the boy, but he didn't know what or why.
