The two boys lay on the ground in a huddled heap. Draco released a small smile when Harry kissed his cheek.
"Talk about bloody Bipolar." A voice broke through the silence. Draco froze.
"So you two are gay?"
"What the hell is this?"
"Oh my god, Malfoy's a fag." Words went across the entire hall. Tears formed in Draco's eyes. Pansy started to yell and curse at the source of those words. Draco shoved Harry off him and bolted for the Slytherin common room.
"Dray, Wait!" Harry yelled, starting to chase after him.
"Harry wait!" Pansy interrupt. Harry turned to look at her. "Wait, let him go. When he's like this he just needs to think and be alone. Come on, we'll go after him and see how he's doing, just...give him some time. He'll probably be back at our dorms." Harry nodded and the two walked down the hall leaving the students to deal with the wrath of the two professors. Pansy spoke up after a bout of silent walking. "So what happened to make him freak?" Harry blushed thinking back onto what exactly did happen.
"Well, in class when we were working together, his sleeve rode up." Pansy stopped in he tracks.
"You saw..."
"Yes I did. So I wanted to confront him, see if he needed any help. He may have been a prick to me and my friends but no one deserves to go through something so badly they do...that." Pansy nodded him to continue. "He started crying and having a panic attack so I...well I held him." Pansy smiled a smile so wide, her face was in danger of ripping. "I let him cry for a while till he started to calm down, and thats when it happened."
"What happened?"
"Well, he pulled away from me. He was pissed for some reason, saying that I'm only doing this so I can laugh at him, then he started ranting on about how much he hates himself and then...well he said he loved me."
"I was wondering when he'd finally tell you...just wish it wasn't like that. What happened next."
"Well we looked at each other, me obviously in shock because, well it's him. Then he ran and threw his guts up."
"He threw up again?" Pansy asked, obviously annoying. Harry nodded.
"Again?"
"Yeah, when he's under a lot of stress and anxiety it makes him vomit. I don't know why, he's says he's been like that since he was a child. You think he's just naturally that thin? He barely eats added on top of puking everyday..." More silence. "So next?"
"Well I held him and let him throw up, he started choking so I helped him take his shirt off and...he's so thin. Every time something came up I could feel his insides." Pansy nodded.
"That's usually how it goes. Anything else?"
"I kissed him." Pansy stopped for the third time.
"Right after he puked? That's sweet and disgusting."
"It was worth it. I told him that I loved him to and that I'll protect him...then I held him some more till I got really hungry. I told him we should get back, we were so close I um...he had a hard on." Pansy shook her head and laughed.
"Typical Dray."
"I had one too...one thing led to another and the next thing I know he's blowing me."
"What!?" Pansy stopped again.
"But he pulled off, he looked terrified, I didn't force him I don't think anyways, I'd thought I hurt him."
"Give him some time before you two do any sexual stuff."
"He's the one who started it though."
"That's who he is. Oh god."
"What?"
"Look, you didn't know so it's not your fault." Harry looked at her with confusion. "His father has been beating and raping him since he was 5, Harry." Harry's face fell and the two went silent as they made it to the common room. They crept up the stairs, Harry visibly shaking. Pansy opened the door to her and Draco's dorm. "Draco? Sweetie? It's us."the two went into the dark room, noticing a blonde streak huddled on the floor from where the little sunlight left danced around in his bleached hair. Draco had his knees drawn up to his chest, he was rocking back and forth like a mad man. Harry crept over to him, not wanting to startle him and that's when he saw them. Deep bloody gashes decorating his thighs and calves, the blade still in the blondes trembling hand.
"Give it to me." Harry demanded. Draco simply looked at him. "Now." Draco handed over the bloody metal object. Harry gave it to Pansy who'd just come back from getting bandages and healing potion. The three didn't exchange any words, Harry just wrapped his arms around the broken blonde boy. Draco snuggled into the inviting warmth, with no tears left to cry, he's just layed there in his lovers arms. Pansy took this moment to bandage him up. Once the wounds were clean she wrapped up his legs like a mummy. Draco shifted, on the verge of sleep. Harry took in the boys peaceful face and moved them over to Draco's bed. Harry laid him down, bringing emerald green silk covers up over him. Draco's brows knitted together in discomfort. Harry looked at Pansy who was holding a small stuffed unicorn in her hands.
"He'll need this." She tucked the unicorn in his arms, the plush instantly being suffocated into a hug. Draco smiled while cuddling the small animal. Harry looked at Pansy with confusion and aw. "His mother got that for him when he was young, she said that Pandora will keep him safe." Harry took into account the plushes name.
"That's adorable."
"I know. But I think he wants a bigger stuffie to cuddle right now." Harry raised an eyebrow, looking at Draco. He smiled, sliding into bed with him only to be crushed into a hug.
"This is gonna be a long night" Harry said, smiling at the boy in his arms before kissing his head and joining him in his sleep.
