Curse Of Pain

Chapter 32

Draco's POV

Harry bled on the floor far from me, completely knocked out. Actually I didn't even know if he was still alive since I couldn't see his chest rising and falling.

My body ached as I glanced at Crabbe, seeing him unconscious from the spell Harry hit him with.

I turned back to Harry and began crawling over to him, whimpering in pain as I did so.

I had lost quite a bit of blood and my neck still felt like it was on fire.

"Harry." I called, my voice raspy and the simple word made my throat burn.

I kept slowly crawling to him and when I finally reached him I sighed out a breath of relief when I felt a slight pulse on his outstretched wrist.

He was alive, but I need to get the bleeding to stop, he's lost too much.

The sound crackling and a bright green light flashed before my eyes. I turned my head slightly, terrified of what it could be.

"Harry! Draco!" I never thought the day would come that I would be relieved to hear Ron Weasley's voice.

A couple more people stepped through the fire place behind him.

Hermione gasped and ran over to the two of us. Arthur, Ginny, and George all came through as well and rushed to our aid.

"Are you two ok?" Arthur asked, helping me sit up, while Hermione and Ron turned Harry over onto his back.

"He needs help." I rasped out.

George came over to me and lifted my chin slightly. "Don't try to speak. That burn doesn't look good." He observed, touching the burn slightly, which made me flinch from the pain.

"What happened?" Ron asked.

I turned my head and pointed in the direction of where Crabbe lay only to find him gone.

What? How did he-? Where did he go?!

"Crabbe, gone." I said to Ron.

He nodded his head in understanding.

"Let's get you guys out of here." Ginny said.

George and Ginny helped me stand while Ron and Arthur picked Harry up carefully.

Hermione got floo powder ready and vanished Ron, Arthur, and Harry. Then it was George, Ginny, and I. Hermione followed lastly.

We all piled into the living room of the Weasley's burrow.

"Dad!" I heard both Teddy and Scorpius yell.

The two tried to get to us, but got pulled back by Molly.

"Let's not crowd them right now dearies, we need to help them first." Molly told the two.

Scorpius and Teddy's face were red and had a fresh trail of tears falling.

"It's alright." I tried to tell them, but it turned into a rough cough.

"What did I tell you about talking?" George asked.

I shrugged my shoulders at him.

Ron and Arthur laid Harry down on the couch and Hermione and Ron instantly whipped out their wands, casting spells quietly under their breath, assessing the damage.

"Come on, dear. Let's get you cleaned up." Molly came over and helped me into a chair near Harry.

I shook my head when they tried to help stop the bleeding. "No-Harry." I said.

"What?" Ginny asked.

"I need to-" I coughed abruptly again, grabbing my throat roughly. "Help him." I finished, trying to stand back up, only to have George push me back down.

"First, we need to help you and then you can help with Harry, but until then, the others got him."

I huffed out in annoyance.

It's just a few cuts and burns, nothing serious.

George and Molly helped clean me up. My wounds ended up deeper than I thought and we ended up wrapping them up tightly with gauze to help stop the bleeding. They also disinfected the burns and wrapped them up as well before giving me a blood replenishment potion for all the blood I lost.

They were still working on Harry when they finished with me and I joined them.

"How is he?" My voice still dry and raspy.

"He's alive." Hermione replied. "He lost a lot of blood and he used up way too much energy, to be honest, I'm surprised he's not in worse shape." She explained.

"We cleaned his wounds and healed a few of them, also gave him a couple different potions that seem to be helping, now we're really just waiting for him to wake up." Ron continued.

"It'll take awhile." I told them.

They looked over at me in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"He used all of h-his energy to stop Crabbe. We all know his magic is already getting weaker and when he's having an episode magic is nearly impossible, b-but he used the last bit he possibly had to s-save me. We'll need to monitor him until he wakes up, which easily could be days." I explained coughing roughly again.

"Is he gonna be ok?" Scorpius came up next to me, Teddy not far behind.

"As l-long as we make sure his wounds don't get w-worse and give him rounds of r-replenishment potions, then he should be fine. He j-just needs lots of rest." I explained, pulling the boys closer to me.

They hugged me tightly. "W-We were so w-worried! When you d-didn't follow us, we g-got so scared!" Teddy cried.

"H-Harry promised you guys were right behind us." Scorpius commented.

"We were, but things got out of hand." I said to them.

"What did happen? I know you did Crabbe was there, but he couldn't have possibly caused this much damage, right?" Ron asked.

"Yeah. We were expecting you guys to arrive soon, but then Scorpius and Teddy came through the floo freaking out. At first we thought you were coming in right behind them, but then you didn't so we all came looking for the both of you." Ginny continued.

"Long story." I said, coughing once again.

"Alright, Draco needs to get some rest, he can answer all of our questions after he sleeps and feels better." Molly said, ushering everyone out.

I was directed to a room a few floors up where Harry and I will be sleeping. Scorpius and Teddy will be sleeping in the living room momentarily until we figure out a better room situation for everyone.

George set me down on the queen sized bed gently and a few minutes later Arthur and Ron came up and laid Harry down beside me so he was somewhere more comfortable than a couch.

"Thank you." I told them all.

"No problem. I'm just glad you're both alright." George said.

"Yeah. You two really gave us a scare." Ron commented.

"Let's go, boys. They need sleep. We'll be in later to check on you and Harry." Arthur said, leaving the room with the other two.

I sighed once they left and looked over at a peaceful sleeping Harry.

"I thought I lost you." I whispered kissing him gently on the cheek before letting a few years fall down my cheek.

A few turned into several and I fell asleep clutching Harry tightly, with wet tears drying on my cheeks.

This chapter felt kinda rushed. Sorry about that. First week into college and I swear my brain is already melting.
