It was like waking up from being dead, I'm just going to expect all of you have done that, first you start feeling your body parts but still not being able to control. Then you start to hear what is happening around you, slowly you start to get control over your body and soon you can open your eyes. This part will you instantly regret as the blinding lights destroys your eyes. After quickly closing them agin you squeeze the hand that's holding your, or make some sort of movement to get attention from someone nearby. The one that sees will immediately try to talk to you and try to get a response in some way
- Harry, Harry please, I felt it, Uncle Sev he squeezed my hand
A small smile sneaked it's way to Harry's body. This time when he opened his eyes he did it slowly and gave his eyes time to adjust to the light. When he opened them he saw Draco sitting on a chair next to him with a book in his lap and his right hand in Harry's and Severus standing at his left side, both looking at him
- It's good to see that you are awake Harry
He gave the professor a smile before reaching for the glass of water at the bedside table, not letting go of Draco's hand, it felt good, like it was meant to be there. He poured the cold water down his throat and coughed at the unusual feeling
- How long was I out
His voice was not louder than a whisper not being used in such a long time
Draco looked at Severus before answering
- Around 3 weeks
- Not as bad as I though
- NOT AS BAD AS YOU THOUGH, YOU COULD HAVE DIED, DO YOU REALISE HOW WRONG THIS WAS ABOUT TO GO WHEN YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYONE
- Look, I'm sorry Severus, but if I had told you before you wouldn't have let me
He put a finger up to stop Severus from cutting him off
- and I know I should have told you after but you were so happy, I didn't want to take away that moment for you
There was a long silence before Draco quietly said
- You could've died
- But I didn't
Just as he was about to say something else the door to the hospital wing swinged open and Hermione, Ron, Blaise and Pansy entered, chatting about Merlin knows what before they saw Harry sitting up in his bed, Hermione was the first to recover from the shock
- Oh Harry, we have been so worried, I thought you were dead
The last part was whispered as if otherwise death would knock on the door to take him
- I'm sorry 'mione
- Harry, it's good to see that you are awake dear, let me just run one more spell over you and if everything is clear you are free to go
- Thank you Madame Pomfrey
The mediwitch gave him a kind smile before waving her wand over Harry's body
- Take this and then you are free to go
He accepted the little vial and downed it in one go, grimacing at the taste. Draco's hand in his he stood at unsteady legs and would have fallen if Draco didn't catch him. Putting his arm around Draco's shoulders to get some balance they made their way down to their common room
