Chapter Thirteen

3rd Person POV:
What if that was me? What if I attacked Mr Weasley? No, that's impossible, Harry told himself, how can someone be in two places at once? It's completely mental. I was the snake though, that means I bit Mr Weasley. Harry spent the apparation and walking to Mr Weasley's bed to think it over. He had no idea where he was going, he just followed Remus and Tonks holding Draco's hand. Every wall and corridor looked the same, so he didn't think he was missing much. Eventually, they came to a halt.

Mr. Weasley was bandaged around his stomach and waist along with a thick one covering his forehead. However, he looked happy to see Harry which Harry could not believe. He was so sure Mr Weasley wouldn't want to see him because, he was the snake, he must have bit him. Adding the fact that he's going out with Draco- he was so sure Mr Weasley wouldn't want him anywhere near him. "Harry! Good to see you!" He announced pulling the boy into a tight hug. Lupin went to talk to the newly-bitten werewolf, and tonks joined him leaving Draco, Harry and Hermione at Arthur's bed.

Extraordinarily, he smiled at Draco- they all knew it was fake but at least Mr Weasley was making an effort. "Hello, Malfoy. Molly told me about Harry and your..." he was trying to find the right word (the word should be relationship) "situation." Not the word they expected, "Although I don't agree with it, you saved my life Harry. My form of, 'gratitude' is that I will not interfere with your relationship." None of them spoke eventhough their mouths were wide open. Hermione's was hitting the floor while the other two's went to the ground floor of St. Mungo's.

"Thank you, sir." Draco tried to say it as nice as he could, but it was menacing as it was through gritted teeth. Arthur took no notice and again, thanked Harry.
"Sir, I-I was the snake though, that means I did thi-this to you..." Harry stammered. Hermione, Draco and Arthur were all shocked he could put such a troubling thought in his head.
"Harry, love, that snake was vol-" Arthur winced slightly, "-the Dark Lord's snake. Severus told me. You were not Nagini, ok?" He reassured Harry, Mr Weasley gave the boy a thankful look before turning to Hermione.

"How are things with my son? Has he asked you out yet?" Mr Weasley asked Hermione- for once, she was speechless. Draco was rolling round in his insides and Harry felt the uncomfortable situation will worsen if she doesn't answer soon.
"Your son-well he-he erm..." she stammered then looked at Harry and Draco for help.
"He wouldn't act on his feelings, sir. Someone asked out Hermione and she said yes, as Wea-Ronald didn't muster the courage." Draco answered. Harry sighed in relief that Draco didn't call Ron a Weasel in his fathers presence.

"Ah well, his loss. You are a bright, beautiful girl Hermione. Anyone is lucky to be with you." He clasped a hand on Hermione's for a second before letting go and declaring he wants to rest.

The three went to tell Lupin, but with his 'super-hearing' he asked if they could wait half hour as he would like to talk to the recently bitten boy. They all agreed then went to the lobby- a woman saying Neville's name caught their attention.

"Neville, do you want to say hi to your parents?" An elderly woman asked him. The newly formed trio walked to the double beds they heard their freinds name be spoken.
"Oh, he-hello Harry, Hermione-" he turned to Draco before smiling weakly, "D-Draco" the boy stuttered.

"This the boy who used to make fun of you, Neville?" His grandma asked and Draco turned shy.
"I deeply apologise for my actions towards your grandchild Ms. Longbottom. I have changed now, for the better." He spoke clearly to the woman who nodded in agreement after seeing Harry grasp his boyfriend's hand.

Two people lay on the beds not moving. They were paler than chalk white and their eyes had a shopping spree worth of bags under them. That didn't matter as their pupils were small and eyes bloodshot. Harry guessed the two were Neville's parents- Harry and Neville grew closer in the months Ron was in a mood with him last year, Harry learnt things about Neville's parents.
