I ran my fingers over the smooth metal of the doorknob, the small gold plaque embossed with Harry's and my own name catching my eye.
It seems like a lifetime away that I first entered this room. And a lifetime away that I last entered it.
I drew a steady breath and turned the knob, pushing the door open.
It was the exact same as I remembered.
The two beds sat side by side, the only difference was that mine was messy, and Harry's was pristine.
"Harry? You here?" I called, closing the door behind me.
I jumped as his head appeared from the doorway to the bathroom, a grin on his face.
"Have you been sleeping in my bed?" I asked.
Harry's cheeks flushed pink, and he disappeared back into the bathroom.
"That's not all I did in it." He called, still out of view.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
He appeared again, a smirk on his face, "Having the room to myself meant I could have some quality alone time. To relax, if you please."
"Oh you little twat!"
"Hey, I gotta do what I gotta do!" He exclaimed.
"You have your own bed for that!" I retorted.
"But it's easier to picture you when I'm in your bed." He winked at me.
I felt my own cheeks flush, and turned hastily away from him.
"Gotcha there Draco."
"Yeah yeah." I mumbled.
I moved over to Harry's bed and sat down, feeling relief spread through my tired legs.
"I can't believe how long it's taken me to be able to walk properly again. And I got tired after walking from the common room to here! It's mental."
Harry sat down beside me, his blue jumper clashing horribly with my brown one.
"You were in a coma, it's mental you were able to continue like normal almost as soon as you woke up." He said quietly.
"Yeah.. I suppose."
"I want to talk...properly talk." He said.
My stomach flipped and I felt a lump form in my throat.
"About what?"
"About you. About what's going on in there." He said, gently tapping the side of my head.
"Can we go outside?"
"It's freezing out there!"
"Put a cloak on. You'll be fine... please?"
He sighed and nodded exasperatedly.
"Fine...C'mon let's go."
