FILTHY ~ Drarry Fanfic

Chapter 33

It's a month later. The August sun shines through the hospital window as I support Harry's lower back "I've got you. You're not going to fall."

He smiles at me, before grabbing hold of the handles of the walker. As he stands, he trembles on his weakened legs and I support him and he calls out "Draco!" He calls in worry of falling.

I shake my head "You're not going to fall."

He continues "Draco!" I reassure and he continues to panic "Draco!"

I grip him, firmly, around the waist, causing him to look at me. I nod, before speaking calmly "I'm not going to let you fall."

He takes a moment to calm himself, before I release him, just slightly. He nods and I motion my head forward "Try taking a step."

He takes a deep breath and takes a shakey step forward. He looks to me with empowerment and I smile "Let's keep going, yeah?"

As he slowly steps towards the door, Ron pushes the wheelchair behind him. I don't let my focus slip from Harry.

When we get out of the door, I can see the fatigue on his face. I motion Ron up as I ask "Why don't you take a rest, for a moment?"

He nods and I ease him back to take a seat. As I lean against the hospital wall, I ask "Have you thought about what we discussed?"

Ginny gives a confused look "What did you discuss?"

Harry looks to her and tells her "Where I'm going to be discharged to."

Molly looks to me, instantly "Can he be discharged to the burrow?"

I take in a deep breath, before declaring "The drive would be much too hard on him. If his body takes a nosedive, being in the middle of nowhere, would be fatal."

Hermione looks him over "Could we apperate him back to London?"

I shake my head and declare "To apperate, it's a lot on the body." She nods and I spell it out "We've either got to place Harry in an outpatient facility, or-"

Harry furrows his brow and tells them "Or I invade Draco's house."

I cross my arms and they all look to me. George asks "You wouldn't mind?"

I furrow my brow and remark "Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to a HOT and UNINTERRUPTED shower, but I'm willing to be interrupted a few more times."

My mobile beeps a playful toon and I pull it out to find a message from Thomas "Loverboy?" Hermione asks.

I wave her off as I read the message "Just got done with student prep. Heading home to start getting ready. When are you coming over?"

I type back "In about an hour to an hour and a half."

As I sens it, Harry asks "When am I going to meet him?"

I sigh, before declaring "I don't know." I crack my neck and sigh "We've got this thing, tonight."

He cocks an eyebrow to me "A thing?"

I moisten my lips and tell him "He's got a family reunion." He nods and I wave it off "Now that you've had a moment, let's get you back on your feet."

As Thom sits next to me, his mum asks "So, how long has you two been going on?"

I look to him and he smiles to me "About a month, now?" I nod and he looks me up and down "How was your day?"

I give an amazed look "Harry made it a solid hundred meters, today." He hums at my excitement and I nod "It's incredible to get that far, considering he's been bedridden for five months."
