Potter: A Drarry Fan Fiction

Patronus

I jumped out of bed and started to put my uniform on. I wasn't normally so chipper in the mornings, but I had to sort out the situation on my neck before Ron woke up. I pulled my robe on and snuck into the girls' bathroom. It was too early for any of them to be in there. I looked for some concealer to hide the love bites.

Draco gave them to me yesterday at quidditch practice. I managed to do a good enough job by just patting the stuff on with my finger. My neck was still kind of discoloured but it would have to do.

I walked back into my room, managing to not be seen by any of the girls. Luckily Ron was still asleep. I sat on the edge of my bed, rested my elbows on my knees and my head on my hands. It was troubling me. I hadn't thought about it much because I was so wrapped up in Draco's romance. It just slipped my mind. Why was Draco crying in the toilet? He had never talked about it and I didn't want to ask, but it intrigued me. Was everything alright? Clearly not.

I heard Ron start to wake up.

"Blimey, you're up early" Ron mumbled into his pillow.

"Yeah I know, I would kill for another 10 minutes of  sleep" I said rubbing my eyes. Ron plodded off to the bathroom. I rushed to the mirror to check on my make up. It looked pretty much still in place. I still had a little time before breakfast so I decided to go and read in the common room.

Ron came down moments later dressed in his uniform with Hermione. She was blushing and I smiled at them. I knew they liked each other.

"So are you guys ready?" I asked.

"Yes we are" Hermione answered. Ron just nodded his head.

We walked into the great hall. I purposely sat on the side of the bench that meant I was directly opposite Draco. Ron started eating immediately.

"I'm excited to learn what my Patronus is" Hermione said buzzing.

"Yeah same" Ron spluttered with a mouthful of cereal.

Draco came and sat down with his friends, he gave me a small smile and rubbed his neck. I wanted to laugh but I held in in.

"Oh my goodness Harry, what happened to your neck?" Hermione said, going to touch it but I pulled away.

"Just a quidditch injury" I said trying to pull at my collar.

After breakfast we walked to the defence against the dark arts classroom.(I didn't want my story to be set in a particular year but I've just made Lupin the professor) Professor Lupin was already starting the lesson when we walked in. Draco and his friends followed behind.

"This ancient and mysterious charm conjures a magical guardian." Lupin began, "The Patronus Charm is difficult, and many witches and wizards are unable to produce a full, corporeal Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom they share the deepest affinity." Everyone was listening intently, we all wanted to know what our patronus would be.

"But, as we all know it's a protection of your most positive feelings and therefore one begins by mustering up the happiest memory they can think of" Lupin said. Draco got up out of his seat all of a sudden and left. Professor Lupin didn't pay much attention and continued to teach the lesson.

After a few moments of fidgeting in my chair I raised my hand and asked to go to the toilet.

"Of course Harry" Lupin said smiling. As soon as I was out of the class room I rushed to the toilet. Everything bad and good in my life  happened on the strangest of places. I slowly pushed the door open in order to not startle Draco. I found him sat in a ball, in the middle of the floor.
