I'm worried. Harry still isn't talking and he's getting thinner with each passing week.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I are sitting in the library and studying for a DADA exam with Madame Pince breathing down our necks and Weasley groaning about not being able to concentrate.
"Suck it up, Weaslebee. Your whining isn't making it any easier for any of us to concentrate." I snap after a while. Harry elbows me in the ribs lightly and gives me a stern look. "What was that for? It's true isn't it?" I ask with a slight pout.
Harry nods and smirks. He sighs and puts down his book. " You done for tonight?" I ask as my lovely mate lays his head on my shoulder. He nods and cuddles into my side.
"Night, 'Mione, Weasley. I'm taking this one to bed." I whisper with a furtive look at Madame Pince. "Night Draco." they chorus softly.
I pick Harry up and jog to the Slytherin common room, careful not to make any noise. Harry taps my shoulder sleepily. "Yes, love?" I whisper, looking down at him. He points to his bed and made a stay motion with his hand.
"You want me to stay with you tonight?" I ask, tilting my head slightly. He nods and lets out a big yawn. So cute.
I drop him onto his bed gently and sit down next to him. His wings fold open and wrap around his small form. I open my wings too and wrap them around Harry, needing the close contact. "How were your classes today?" I ask. Harry looks up and gives me a contemplative look.
"What? Have I got something on my face?" I ask self-consciously. He shakes his head 'no', and I sigh. "Don't scare me like that." I growl teasingly. My little Raven laughs- actually laughs- and I freeze. "Are-Did- did you mean to laugh?" I ask slowly, hope filling my heart.
"Yeah. I did." Harry replies in a raspy voice. I hug my mate to me- even closer if possible- and hide my grin in his unruly hair. "Are you gonna tell me why you weren't talking?" I ask. "Maybe later. Right now, I've missed my mate." "We've been together all day." I say, confused. "Not what I meant." he grumbles.
"Then why don't you show me what you meant?" I whisper into his ear, my eyes drooping. In response, Harry nuzzles underneath my chin and kisses my throat. "Mine." he whispers before his breathing evens out and he falls into a deep sleep.
I chuckle and kiss his forehead before falling asleep myself.
I'm back! Sorry for the wait.🙏🏽
