Durmstrang's Pretty Boy- Drarry Fanfic~ Book 1 of 3 in The Pretty Boy Trilogy

Chapter 20

 As I sit in the bubbles, Harry massages my shoulders "Why don't you ever tell me when you're in pain?"

 "Having a physical disability and being mentally unstable isn't a proud point for me." I state, blandly, before sighing "What time is it?"

 "Twenty-five past three." he states and I try to move my arms, with no success "Once you can move, I'm going to start setting up for tonight, then I gotta go pick up your gift from Hogsmeade."

 "Shite! I forgot his gift!" I think to myself. A couple of weeks ago, our friend group decided to have a little post-christmas gift exchange. Naturally, I went shopping with Harry and we agreed we'd go back, later and apart, to get each other a gift.

 "Alright." I smile as I hear the floo tube fire up.

 "Draco?" Lucius asks, probably seeing if I even want to see him.

 "I'm in the laboratory!" I call out and he pokes his head in, before apologizing "You're not interrupting anything. I'm about to get out..."

 "Yeah, once your arms can move." Harry grumbles and Lucius gives a concerned look "Don't act like you suddenly care." he scoffs "After all, you caused this!"

 "Harry!" I hiss and he frowns down at me "Shut up!" I whisper and he glares.

 "How did I cause that?" Lucius asks, a puzzled look written on his face, almost to the point of it being carved in.

 With a failed attempt to shut Harry up, he spits "You caused permanent nerve damage because you tortured him too much."

 "Harry, will you go fetch me my clothes?" after he glares at Lucius for another minute, he stands and pushes past him.

 "Does it hurt?" Lucius asks as he sits next to me with a pitiful look. As I nod, he sighs "How badly?"

 I give a disgusted look and ask "Have you ever been set on fire?" his face goes grim and I continue "It feels exactly like that." with a sigh, I state "It doesn't hurt, compared to the curse."

 He sighs and rubs his forehead "I wouldn't know."

 "Wish you won't ever feel it." I tell him, before stating "It's the worse physical pain I've ever felt."

 "And the worst mental?" he asks, before biting his tounge "You don't have to answer that."

 "It's fine." I sigh, before sinking down, further into the tub "It wasn't the rape." I state, propping my feet on the edge of the tub "It's what followed." he gives a confused look and I continue "I laid in bed, trying to think about what I should do? Who I should tell? Why couldn't I move? If I went to the party, would it still happen? How long do I have until I can move? Would this have happened if I reported her for molesting me? What would have happened if Viktor or Harry showed up in the middle of it? What would mum have done if she heard about it?" I clear my throat and look at the bubbles floating on the surface "And every question I asked myself, they all ended up with no easy answer." As Harry walks into the room, I sigh "And, in that moment, only in that moment, I thought about killing myself to answer all of those questions."

 As we sink into silence, I stare into the bubbles and go back to that night. All the questions start to resurface and I get the itch.

 When I feel their eyes on me, I bat mine and look to their pitiful faces "Will you both give me some privacy?"

 Silently, they leave the room and I crawl out of the tub.

 Once I'm dressed, I walk out to find the decorations are already up "What happened here?" I ask.

 "Harry will be joining us for tea." Lucius states as he pours my tea "Is it seven or eight today?" he asks as he drop seven sugar cubes into my tea.

 "Seven." I demand and he drops a bit of cream in my tea.

 As I sit in my chair, I pick up one of the sandwiches and frown "This is lactate free cream cheese, right?"

 "Yes." Lucius smirk as he picks up the same sandwich "Did you enjoy them yesterday?"

 "Indeed." I nod, before sighing "Something disagreed with me yesterday, however." I snap and point to Harry "I believe it was the green bean casserole from the feast."

 "What are you talking about?" Harry asks as he takes the same sandwich.

 "Guess I never told you I'm lactose intolerant?" I ask and he shakes his head "Well, I am." I nod, before sipping on my tea.

 After the hour is up, Harry sighs "You love chocolate."

 "That I do." I smile as there's a knock on the door "I'll get it." I sigh, standing up.

 Once I open the door, Ron, Hermione and Viktor step in "Draco!" Hermione smiles "How are you this afternoon?"

 With a smile, I bow to her "I'm doing very well. How about yourself?" As she chuckles, I do the same.

 "I'm doing quite well, if I do say so myself." she smiles as I kiss her hand.

 "Aye, now!" Harry interjects, sarcastically, before stepping in between us "Don't force me to break this up."

 "Wouldn't dream of it." Hermione states, before sighing "Come on, Harry! We must be back before dinner!"

 "Viktor?" I ask and he hums "Are you going to Hogsmeade with them?"

 "I'm going to go work out around the lake." he states, leaning against the doorframe "Would you like to come with me? Your muscle look a bit smaller."

 I frown "Nah, I have to do a few things." I narrow my gaze at him "I'm still built, Viktor. Arse."

 "Sorry." Viktor smirks, before sighing "Well, I'm off." and with that, he starts down the hall.

 "We should go." Ron sighs and Harry nods, before turning to be, giving a kiss, and walking off.

 As soon as the door is shut, I flip on my heels and start towards the floo tube "I'm an arse!" I hiss at myself.

 Lucius frowns "Why is that?"

 "I forgot to get Harry a gift." I state while I grab some floo powder "I've got to get him one, before he gets there."

 As I step in, he does the same and frowns "Why don't we just go to London? We won't run into him."

 "Diagon Alley?" I ask.

 "Muggle London." Lucius states "But we need to drop by Gringots, so I can trade galleons for pounds."

 I look him up and down, before sighing "Well, we can't have you walking around London in robes."

 "Fine." he nods, before clearing his throat "To The Leaky Cauldron."
