Emotions (A Drarry fanfic)

Chapter 14: "Draco"

Harry's POV:

I laid on the couch peacefully, where moments ago Draco was curled up with me. I smiled at the memory.

The fireplace was crackling poetically and giving the occasional pop. The warmth from the fire making me wish Draco was still here to enjoy it with me.

He had left only a few minutes prior, but I already missed him. It's crazy how I never really knew Draco for who he was until recently. But it makes sense why, his father puts a lot of pressure on him to be someone he isn't. I wish he didn't have to go through that. At least now we have each other.

A wave of anxiety suddenly hit me. What was that? I sat up quickly. My hand made way to my chest which was tight and beating incredibly fast.

Another wave hit me, this time causing tears to fall from my eyes, my body began to shake uncontrollably. Something's wrong. Something serious.

Draco.

I leapt up from the couch quickly and ran out of the Gryffindor common room. I have to find him. He must of gone back to his room.

I took off as fast as I could in the direction of the Slytherin common room.

I need to get to him and quick. I've never felt so much sadness come from one person. I still shook as I ran. My body wanted me to take a break and breath but I kept on going. This was far to important.

I don't know what has happened but Draco needs me.

The common room was getting close, I rounded a corner, losing my footing slightly on a loose rock from the floor but caught myself and continued faster.

My breath clouded in the air as the coldness nipped at any exposed skin I had. The castle was always so cold around Christmas.

Finally I reached the portrait.

"Password?" An older man with long black hair and a pointy nose spoke boredly.

"Shit!" I yelled. I don't know the password. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"Incorrect." The portrait spoke.

"I know that! Let me in please! Someone I care about is in there and needs my help." I pleaded but he shook his head.

"No password. No entry." He yawned.

"Draco! Open the door! It's Harry!" I yelled. What was I going to do.

No response.

I banged on the frame of the door, my eyes watering.

"Can you knock it off, you're giving salazar a migraine. You don't know the password so leave." He pointed away, talking in third person.

"Wait? You're Salazar Slytherin?" I spoke. They put him to guard the common room?

"Yes. I am. Now leave, I wish to sleep now." Salazar rolled his eyes.

"No, I'm not leaving! Now you listen here, I need to get in there right now. And I will slash right through your damn painting if I have to! Now open!" I grinded my teeth in anger.

The door open slowly and I began to walk in. "Thank you".

"My apologies, I did not know you could speak parseltongue. Anyone who can is allowed to enter." He bowed his head slightly. "Oh, and don't ever threaten me again. I still hold great power at this school young wizard. Now go."

Parseltongue? Shit, I didn't realize I was. Probably shouldn't have threatened him. Oh well, I'm in. Now to find my boyfriend.

The Slytherin common room was a mirror to the Gryffindor, though the colours were green and silver. The fireplace sat unlit. I could still see my breath infront of me. My fingers slightly numb.
