Chapter 13

Harry

For once in my life, I felt like I would be okay.

And then that feeling left in a split second....

Madame Pomphrey returned with Professor McGonagall and Remus, Hermione and Ron close behind them. I couldn't look at them. I hid in Draco's chest and under my hoodie, which still held Draco's letter.

"Harry, Ron and Hermione are coming over. The rest are talking by the door." Draco said softly. "I really think you should talk to them. If you don't want to that's okay."

I thought about it. I wanted to talk to them, but wouldn't they hate me? I'm a freak.

I felt the bed dip down and a hand on my shoulder. "Harry, why didn't you tell us? And why is... he... with you?" It was Ron.

"Because I knew you would hate me for it, and because he saved me." I said in barely a whisper.

"He saved you? Okay, yeah, but why are you in his lap?" Ron's hand left my shoulder and Hermione sat down. "Ron, not here..." I heard her whisper. "But... he's in bloody Malfoy's  lap!"

"Because I like him!" I said, regretting it afterwards. "You... what!? Whatever, we'll talk about this later." He said and left, after Hermione gave him a glare.

"Don't worry about him Harry, he's being stupid." Hermione said, sitting in front of me and Draco. "Harry, please never do anything like this again. You had me so scared, I don't know what I would've done..." She pulled me off Draco's lap and into a tight hug, surprising me.

"Harry, Hermione, we have some things to tell you. Mr. Malfoy, you may leave now." Mcgonagall said.

Draco looked at me and I shook my head. I didn't want him to leave. Hermione finally let go and I crawled back I to his lap, Hermione sitting next to us. "Can Draco stay please?" I said in a shaky voice.

"I suppose if you want him to. Actually, that might work out better if he did," I nodded for her to go on. "Harry, what you did tonight I did not see coming. So, we are giving you some rules you have to follow from now on. One, someone must be with you at all times. We haven't figured out who yet. Number 2, you are no longer allowed to play Quidditch. Three, no Hogsmade trips unless you are going with Ron or Hermione."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO QUIDDITCH? NO HOGSMADE! WHY CAN'T I GO WITH DRACO? Take away what I love the most, yeah, that's gonna really help me."

"Its for your own good, Pot-"

"Then I'll leave." 

Everyone stared at me, almost surprised I had yelled at Mcgonagall. I didn't care, I was serious. 

"Potter, these are the measures we need to take for you to stay here. And, I wasn't finished. Fourth, you'll be sharing a dorm with Ron from now on."

Oh hell no. Now she pushed to far. 

"Hell no. I'm staying with Draco. He's saved me four times." I was dead serious. "Hey, since I'm not injured, I'm going to my dorm. And to follow your stupid requirements, one of them can come with me." I got up and started walking, Ron, Hermione, and Draco following me.

They didn't stop me. I bet I could make a run for it if I really tried. I didn't though. I'm mentally exhausted. 

"Harry, me and Ron are going to talk here for a moment, we'll catch up later," Hermione said. Draco was right next to me.

We continued walking to our dorm. With Ron and Hermione gone, now I could really make a run for it. I started to tense up, ready to sprint. Draco must've read my mind or something, because he grabbed my hand. "Don't even think about it," He whispered. But I was. I might be able to outrun him, not even to jump. Just to find an empty classroom to be alone in.
