Young Blood: A Drarry Story

Chapter 17: Red and white

"DRAY!" Harry ran to him and began crying. He gently lifted him up and clung to him tightly. (sorry to your hearts but imagine Harry holding him the way he held Dobby) "Hermione do something! Please! Anything!" Harry screamed, shaking, crying, and hyperventilating. She jumped into action, pulling a bottle out of her bag. Her arm disappeared completely! It was only a purse bag! How? "Undetectable extension charm." She seemed to answer his thoughts. "Okay, Harry, this is dittany. It's a herb, in this case liquidised, and it makes fresh skin form over a wound. On three, remove the knife, okay? One... two... three!" Harry pulled out the knife with a strangled cry, watching the blood spout out like a fountain. Hermione instantly dripped the dittany on to him, and just as Hermione said, it healed over, looking several days old already. Harry was still sobbing, but happier this time. "Thank you..." he whispered. "It's alright Harry, I should be thanking both of you, you saved my life! He was going to kill me tonight. You literally saved my life I mean you saved me!" Hermiones thanks had turned into shock as she processed what happened. "We got that the first time love, now can someone tell me what happened?" Draco sat up slowly. "DRAY!" Harry hugged him tightly, crying once again. He held his head as he said "hey scarface, glad to see me are you?" He laughed. Harry nodded, scared that he would bawl again if he tried to talk. "Hermione are you alright? I don't think Harry here can talk at the moment, care to explain what's going on?" Harry laughed again, covering his mouth to stop him from arguing back. "Well... umm... im not really sure. I was waiting here, Harry came flying through completely unconscious. He was out for a while. When he woke up he asked where you were and I didn't know. Then about 5 minutes later you fell through with... with my dads knife in you... I'm so sorry... both of you..." now it was Hermiones turn to cry. "Come on, neither of you are in condition to fly, so let me apparate you both to hogsmede. Looks like I'm staying at Hogwarts for the holidays too."

They landed wobbly in front of the Hogs Head and began shivering their way back to the castle, Hermione clutching her wrist, Harry rubbing his head occasionally, and Draco holding his side, both of the boys limping. They eventually got there and went straight to the hospital wing. "Madame Pomfrey!" Hermione called out as she came running over. They showed her their injuries and she was in shock, putting them all on to beds and calling in Snape and McGonagall. "Why is it when something happens it is always you two?" McGonagall asked looking at Harry and Draco, before realising the extent of what had happened. Harry and Draco took it in turns explaining parts, as Hermione was in tears trying to talk, and Draco was beginning to remember what happened. "100 points to both of you. You saved a girls life today. And Hermione, you won't ever have to go back there. The Wizarding World is full of lgbtq+ people, and no one ever gets picked on for it. It's natural. Despite popular belief, homosexual acts happen with animals too, so it is a natural feeling." McGonagall reassured her. She smiled and thanked the professor profusely. The three of them had been given the all clear and they headed to Harry and Draco's dorm. "Who's hungry?" Draco clapped his hands together. "So that's a yes from Hermione, her eyes really lit up there. Harry? You hungry?" At the mention of his name, he zoned back in. "What? Oh umm im alright thank you." He looked tired, he had dark bags under his eyes, and they were always red. He'd been slower than normal, and now that Hermione thought about it, with how lightly Harry actually hit his head, he shouldn't have been knocked out. She decided to keep an eye on him for the next couple days before she said anything. "Alright, make sure you grab something later." Draco said as he started making some pancakes. Oh the irony, he thought. There were no classes as it was the holidays, so, being exhausted after the events at the station, they all went to bed and slept straight through the night.

"NO!" Harry screamed. He was screaming so loud. Draco ran over, panicking, shaking him violently. He wouldn't wake up. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Harry shouted. "Harry wake up! It's just a dream! WAKE UP!" He kept on shaking him until he went flying across the room as Harry thrashed about before bolting upright. "Harry are you okay?" He ran over to him and hugged him tightly. "Did I hurt you?" He whispered. "No I'm fine. What happened?" His answer was the same as always. Another nightmare, same as last time. Draco began wondering if he was hiding something about these nightmares. Or what they were about. But he chose not to push the matter any further. He perched on the edge of the bed and pulled Harry in tightly, comforting him until he stopped crying. "Dray..." Harry mumbled tiredly. "I'm here" he replied. "I don't like seeing red and white." Draco looked at the end of Harry's bed and saw a stack of white school shirts stained in blood. "Me either..."
