Hidden Pain (Drarry) [BEING REWRITTEN]

Chapter 5: The Dream

Draco
I knew we were near Hogwarts so I gently shook Harry awake. He awoke and jumped when he saw me. He jumped across to the opposite seats and while shaking took out his wand. ''What do you want Malfoy, why do you want to help me, why do you care?'' He asked his voice shaking a bit and tears flowing silently down his face. I didn't answer. He didn't seem ready to trust me yet and sure I'm hurt, but I get it. ''Because believe it or not I'm not at my best either'' I said. He looked at me confused. ''My dad's gone. He was taken by the ministry and my mother started drinking like the whole world died. She got violent so I stayed in my room every day. I didn't have anyone to turn to. My friends are pretty bad people and I noticed that. I lost my faith in the world. I felt alone. I truly am sorry for how I've treated you'' I explained. He hung his arms limply at his side when I finished. Not once had he looked away from me while I was talking. He looked shocked when I had finished and didn't utter a sound. He hung his head and looked defeated as he jumped down from the seats. ''I'm sorry'' he mumbled. ''We're almost to Hogwarts so we should get changed'' I told him. We got changed into our robes and we sat back down. Harry, yes I'm calling him Harry now, eventually fell back asleep and I moved next to him after a few minutes to examine him. I took his face gently in my hands. His face looked sunken and pale. There were small bruises and a small cut on one side of his face that seemed recent. I decided to ask him later and went back to my seat. I put a silencing spell on the door so Harry could sleep well. I fell asleep as well. I slept peacefully. Until... I was woken by hysterical pleading shouts...

Harry
I didn't know who to trust. Draco, yes draco, seemed nice. But I didn't know if he was trustworthy. It seemed that Hermione and Ron have a nice time without me since I see them when they think I can't. It's mostly when I'm sneaking out of the tower in the night time so as not to be seen on my strolls through the castle. I learned to keep my head down and just walk past them and do my nightly strolls. I always had to navigate my way through the common room since it was always packed with people. When I fell asleep I instantly started dreaming. I was in a dark room and a lamp turned on suddenly. I looked around and it seemed no one was there. Then I heard someone or something move. Slowly three figures came out of the shadows. I looked closer and it was Hermione, Ron and Draco. ''Uh, hi guys'' I said nervously. ''Harry, why didn't you tell us?'' Hermione said in a misty voice. ''Tell you what'' I said. ''We're your best friends mate, come on'' Ron said in an equally misty voice. ''You could've told us when we met you at least instead of us finding out now'' Draco said in the same tone. I was starting to get scared. ''Tell you what?! What didn't I tell you?!'' I shouted. ''That you're a freak'' they all said. I was shocked. I never thought they'd call me that. ''I'm not'' I whispered hanging my head. ''What was that maggot'' sneered Draco. I looked up and they all looked at me with the same mixed expression: hatred and disgust. I was mortified. They all started shouting different insults at the same time. Insults I'd heard one to many times shouted at me by Vernon. I gripped my hair with my hands. Everything was spinning. ''NO, I'LL BE GOOD I PROMISE. DON'T LEAVE ME. YOU'RE ALL I HAVE. PLEASE!!'' I shouted. I kept shouting pleas at them. They only shouted louder at me. It kept going until I was shaken awake. I woke up in a cold sweat and shaking. ''Harry it was just a dream'' said a frantic looking Draco beside me. I looked at him wide-eyed and turned back to face the opposite seats ''No, don't leave me, I'll be good'' I kept muttering rocking myself back and forth hugging my knees.
