Nothing too interesting happened that Halloween, October turned into November, and it began to get colder. Harry was with his friends in the Gryffindor common room, after their classes. He was sitting in an armchair with Draco. Ron and Hermione were having a game of Wizard's Chess with Neville, while Seamus and Dean worked on their Charms homework. Luna was helping Ginny with her dream diary for Divination. Harry sniffled a little and hugged Draco.
"Are you okay Harry?" Draco asked in a low voice
"I'm fine Draco, it's alright." Harry replied, snuggling against Draco.
He turned to the side a little and sneezed. Draco was pretty sensitive to injuries and sickness ever since the War, with all the deaths. Draco moved his hand and placed it gently on Harry's forehead.
"You're a little warm." Draco said, and stood up, Harry getting up too "I think you should go get some sleep." Draco said, and Harry smiled
"Alright, I'll go rest Draco, but wake me up for dinner." Harry said, kissing Draco's forehead gently before heading upstairs.
After a couple hours, the group headed down to dinner. Harry only ate a little food, but since Draco was forced to sit at the Slytherin table, he couldn't ask Harry what was wrong. He noticed that Professor Lupin was watching Harry closely too, which just made him more nervous.
By the time they had finished eating, Draco had been pushed around and tormented by the other Slytherins, and left quickly to catch up with his friends.
"Harry, are you alright?" Draco asked, noticing Harry was paler, and Harry sighed
"Not really, I felt worse after I got some rest." Harry said. Draco pulled him away, towards the Room of Requirement.
"You need some peace and quiet, not that busy dorm." Draco said, leading him upstairs, and Harry groaned
"Dray, I think I'm going to-" Harry broke off with a gag, and Draco pulled him into a nearby bathroom.
Luckily it was a boy's restroom. Harry covered his mouth with his hand, going into a stall. Draco heard vomiting and followed. Draco sat beside him and rubbed his back. Harry finished and wiped his mouth, then hugged Draco.
"Harry, you're burning up." Draco said, feeling his forehead, and Harry grinned
"Yeah, I'm that hot." Harry joked, and Draco stared at him
'he must make jokes when he's got a fever.' Draco thought, and hugged Harry
"Come on Harry, we need to get you into the Room of Requirement, now." Draco said, helping Harry up and helping him walk to the seventh floor. Draco made a room with a bed and bathroom appear, then laid Harry down.
"Thanks Draco." Harry said, hugging him, and Draco sat beside him.
"I'll be right back Harry, I have to go tell the others." Draco said, leaving the room. He knocked on the fat lady's painting, and Ginny opened it
"Draco, where's Harry?" she asked
"He was vomiting, I took him to the Room of Requirement to get away from the noise here. I had to tell you." Draco explained
"I'll tell the others, and make sure his dad knows. You go back and stay with Harry." Ginny said, and Draco smiled.
"Thanks Ginny." Draco said, then left for the Room of Requirement.
He got back and Harry sat up. Harry pulled Draco into the bed beside him, and rested against Draco. Draco stiffened, but relaxed after a minute and wrapped his arms around Harry.
"Just sleep Harry, I'm sure you'll feel better soon" Draco said, and Harry nodded
"Draco, will you stay with me?" Harry asked, turning and sneezing.
"Of course I will Harry, I love you my Lightning Struck Emerald." Draco whispered
Harry snuggled into Draco's chest and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Draco woke up to find Harry no longer there, and got up to find him vomiting again. Draco felt his forehead when Harry looked up, and Harry still had a fever.
"Harry, back to bed." Draco said, lifting him up, and Harry kissed his cheek.
"Okay." Harry sighed, and Draco helped Harry back, tucking him in the bed.
"I think you need to go to Madame Pomfrey, she can get you some potions, maybe we should get you to her." Draco said, and Harry nodded, closing his eyes.
It was early, not many people were up, so they didn't see Draco carrying Harry into the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey gave Harry some of her Pepperup Potion, and Draco sat beside him, as Harry stopped sneezing and coughing, looking a little better.
"Let him rest for a little while longer, then he'll be alright." Madame Pomfrey instructed.
Draco nodded, helping Harry stand. Harry didn't need to lean against him anymore. Harry went to tell his dad he was better, then came back to Draco.
"You feeling better mate?" Ron asked as Harry and Draco came up to them.
"Yeah, why?" Harry asked
"Mum sent an owl, she wants us all to come for Christmas. She offered for you, Sirius, and Lupin to come. And, well, I told her you've got a boyfriend, but I didn't tell who it was, and she wants to meet him." Ron explained
"Oh, Dray, are you okay with coming with us?" Harry asked
"Well, okay, but that means I'll meet your dads...and Mr. Weasley hates my dad." Draco worried
"Once we explain, it'll be fine, right Ron?" Hermione asked
"Um, yeah, I think." Ron said
So, Draco's coming as a surprise guest at the Weasley's. With Sirius and Lupin there too. He just has to get past his parents first.
