Chapter 25

Harry

I'm going to the Weasley's today. 

I'm sitting on my bed, Draco and Remus packing for me since my arms still feel like they're on fire.

"Are you going to be okay? You sure you don't need me to come with you?" Remus asks, turning to me once he's finished. "No, I'll be fine. Ron's still staying here for Christmas, right?" He nods.

"As far as I know, yes. You two still haven't talked?" 

I shake my head. "I tried yesterday, like you said, but he's been ignoring me. He just left in the middle of me talking."

"Oh. Well, we're done. We should get going." I push off the bed to stand, wincing. It's only been three days since my accident, and my arms haven't gotten much better since then. Mrs. Weasley started crying when she saw them, and instantly said I could stay with her and Mr. Weasley.

"Well then, let's be off." Remus says. We walks to the common room, which is empty. Thankfully I'm able to Floo over, or else we'd have to fly, or take a car, and that would take hours.

"So I'll come with you for a little bit. Draco, you still want to stay here?" He hesitates before nodding, and hands me my knapsack. I give him a one-armed hug, he hugs back.

"You know you could come with," I whisper. "She'd like you, I know she would."

"I know. It's just... what if she doesn't?" he mumbles back.

I let go and walk to the fireplace where Remus is waiting. I walk over to him, and step in the now large fireplace.

"Wait... I'll come."

"Really?" Draco nods. "I guess it would be better if we met before my staying there for a week, right?"

"Right. Well, we should go." He steps in next to me, and Remus throws down the powder. "The Burrow!" He yells, and in a blur of green flames we get transported to the Burrow.

We step out, and I hear yells of 'Harry's here!' throughout the house. Footsteps follow, at least three pairs, and Mrs. Weasley arrives first.

"Oh, Harry, hello." She pulls me into a small hug. "Remus, thank you for bringing him. And, your name, dear?" She turns to Draco, who fidgets.

"Draco... Draco Malfoy, miss."

My fingers dance with his for a moment before they fall apart. 

"Harry told me through owl you'd changed for the better. Don't fret, everyone deserves second chances." She smiles at him, and so do I, and I see he looks flustered.

"You'll be staying in Percy's old room, we finally got it cleared out, if that's okay," Mrs. Weasley says as we make it up the stairs. I nod. "That's okay."

"Well, I'll leave you to get settled in, and you can come to the kitchen when you're done?" I nod again, and place my knapsack on the desk. Remus starts to open my trunk, but I shake my head. "No point in unpacking," I mumble when he gives me a look. 

I sit on the bed and face the window, which points out to some fields, covered in white. 

The bed dips down next to me and I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay here?" Remus asks. I nod, even though I'm not sure. He already knows everything about me, Mrs. Weasley, bits and pieces.

"I'll owl you if I need to," I mutter. "Good. We're still going to Grimmauld, right? That's okay?" 

For a moment, I feel weird, like a numbness waves over me, but it goes quickly. I miss him...
