Someday (Drarry Fanfic)

Chapter 23 (Empty Bed)

It was snowing when Draco woke up, he clutched his blanket hoping that it would warm him from the coldness that's slowly seeping through his skin. But of course it didn't warm him enough and Draco thought that the weather matches about what he feels. Cold, lifeless and incomplete, his source of warmth which was Harry just disappeared from his sight. He missed the times that he would wake up with Harry by his side, greeting him a good morning. Draco stared longingly at the empty space beside him, the mattress that once Harry's place is just empty. A tear slipped from Draco's eye but he didn't bother to wipe it, he chuckled sadly.

"I didn't thought that the bed would be so big without you Harry." His voice cracked as he reach for Harry's shirt which he enchanted so the smell wouldn't fade. It might be a little bit crazy keeping Harry's shirt but it was only Draco's way so he would stay sane. He hugged the piece of cloth smelling Harry's scent as he let his tears soaked on the shirt.

He sobbed desperately and tried to muffle his whimpers but it did nothing. A series of memories clouded his head as he screamed his sadness on his pillow. The memories of him and Harry smiling and laughing invaded his thoughts. Draco miss Harry so bad but he couldn't do anything to heal Harry's scars. It was heart breaking for him to see Harry torturing himself by not eating and sleeping.

For weeks Harry did not utter a single word, he became speechless and lost his voice since then. It was even a rare sight for Harry to finish his food when he only managed to swallow 3 spoons most of the time. Draco became distressed of Harry's situation and tried to persuade the raven haired to eat just a little more but Harry just ignored him and just stares at nothingness.

Draco didn't even noticed that he was trembling until he was desperately catching his breath. But luckily his cries was heard by Pansy who hurriedly runs to Draco when she saw the poor boy's situation.

"Blaise hurry up and find Draco's medicine!!" Pansy shouted as Draco was hyperventilating in her arms. Draco took deep breaths but he felt like somebody was chocking him. Blaise came back with Draco's medicine in his hands, Pansy immediately grabbed it as she tried to make Draco drink the bluish potion. "Come on Dray please drink this." She tilted the vial as its contents dropped on Draco's mouth.

The potion quickly took effect as Draco's breathing slowly became stable. Draco who was still on Pansy's arms was startled when Fonce entered the room along with Avery who has worried eyes. Draco tried to sit up with the help of Pansy, Avery who was mumbling something under her breath took Draco's trembling hand.

"Don't worry Draco he'll be fine." She spoke and smiled at Draco, Fonce cleared his throat getting everyone's attention.

"Draco, Avery and I actually wanted to talk to you in private, if you don't mind of course." Draco just nodded as his eyes landed on Pansy and Blaise, when the two got the message they left after saying their goodbye's to the blonde.

"How do you feel right now Draco?" Fonce started and took a seat in front of the blonde while Avery sat besides Draco.

"I feel empty to be honest, I just don't know what to do anymore," Draco sighed.

"Its normal to feel like that Draco, if I were in your position I would feel like that too. But don't be trapped by negative thoughts always think that you've something to live for." Avery said as her eyes changes from mercury grey to pale pink. Its complicated to think that even though Avery is just a third year merely 13 has a huge understanding about people's feelings, it was like she can easily identity your emotion by just looking at your eyes.

"That's the problem Avery I lost my will to live when Harry shut himself from the world."

"So that's why you need to show him what you feel," Fonce spoke.

"Yes Fonce is right Draco, Harry might be trapped on his own cage but you are his lover and nothing can change that. Let Harry know about what you feel about this don't just be silent about your concerns. If you just let him understand that you don't want him suffering all by himself then you need to tell him that." Avery said as she pointed at Draco's heart. "Your love can save him you know," she added.

Avery was right, if Draco wants Harry to be his normal self again he just needs to talk his heart out with Harry to prove they were both hurting. Draco swore that he was going to protect Harry so no matter how hard the consequence is Draco will face it for him.

Draco hugged both Avery and Fonce and thanked them for always being at his side. "Remember you can find love anywhere but true love is not easy to find. So don't lose him okay." Fonce reminded hugging Draco back. "I won't," Draco answered as he pulled away from the hug. He felt like the heavy weight from his chest lightened, thanks from his friends advice he finally snapped up from his negative thoughts and wished that someday Harry would come back to him.

Later that night Draco visited Harry who was surprisingly asleep . He noticed that Harry was frowning from his sleep, 'It must be a nightmare,' he thought as he holds Harry's hand then immediately his frown disappeared. Draco smiled at himself knowing that he still has this effect on Harry and stared at the raven haired's current state. Even though Harry's appearance changed he is still beautiful in Draco's eyes. Draco laced his hand with Harry's and pressed a soft kiss on the sleeping boy's face. "Don't worry love I'll stay by your side no matter what happens, I promise."
