I actually fell asleep tonight and even before Ron. I woke up in a cold sweat around 4 in the morning, I gasped for air as I quickly put my glasses on. I don't remember my dream but it must've been bad. I decided to get ready for breakfast now even though it was still pretty damn early. Since it was so early I was able to take a shower, finally a nice warm shower. I gather my clothes and head down to the shower rooms. I quickly undress and hop in the shower, turning the water hot so as it hit my skin it burned. I quickly washed my self, then washed my hair. It turning a black shade as it got wet. When I finished I turned the shower off, dried off, then got dressed. My hair was still a little damp, as it still dripped water onto me. I shook my head to some of the water would come off and while I shake my hair I thought I saw someone leaning on the closed shower room doors. I look over and see it's Draco, shirt off and nothing but a towel around his waist, his hair wet. I didn't notice that he was showering as well.

"Are you bloody done yet?" Draco asks as he walks over and takes his clothes that are under mine. How did I not realize they were there?.

"Um- yeah I'm done," I say as I head to the shower room doors, I could feel his eyes on me, my ears going red as well as my face. I forgot I left my glasses in the shower room, too focused on what was happening then what was really happening. I heard someone running behind me as I turn around, it was Draco. He was still just in his towel. I took the time of him running to look down at his body, his jawline, his abs, his perfect body. I snapped out of it once he was in front of me. 

"Here, your glasses," Draco said as he handed them to me. I took them and put them on.

"Thanks," I say, realizing my face was still red. He turned around and ran back to the showers. I walked to my dorm and place my dirty clothes on my bed, I look over to see Ron is still asleep. I walked out to see Hermione sitting on the couch, book in her hands. I slip next to her and she jumps.

"Bloody hell!" she yells as she looks over, "Good, it's just you," she says, hand to her chest. "Do you need anything Harry?" she asked, I shook my head no. She quickly goes back to her book as I stare at the fire. An hour passes by as I look over to see Ron stumbling over towards us. 

"How are you up so early?" he asks with a yawn, me and Hermione both shrug. After Ron wakes up a bit more we head to breakfast. I glance over at the Slytherin table and see Draco sitting there with his friends. He glances up as Ron falls over, having tripped on air, making direct eye contact with me as I look over at Ron. Hermione hold out her hand to help him up and he gratefully takes her help. We walk over to our spots and sit down.

"What did you trip on Ron?" Hermione asks.

"Air?" he shrugs. I still can't get my mind off the fact of what happened the other day with Snape and Draco. I need to confront Draco about it but at the same time, I can't. I eat a little bit of food but I forget to drink anything. We head to Potions and sit down, my mind on other things.  I could feel eyes on me, whose I don't know. I look around to see Draco staring at me, when he notices I caught him he looks up and covers his face with his hands. I look away, barely able to concentrate after that. Class ends and I decide to skip the next class. I head to my dorm as I bump into something, someone. I look up to see Draco, tear filled eyes, regaining his balance and walking away. I follow him and he goes to the restrooms, as he stands in front of the mirror, crying. Why was he crying? Wait, last class was potions, and Snape teaches it. Oh no. I walk over to him as he collapses into me, barely able to keep his balance as he sobbed into my chest. I rub his back as he flinches at the touch, whimpering. 

"What happened?" I ask, as he is trying to calm himself down. I kiss his forehead as his face goes red, I don't say anything. I really wanted to look at his back to see if he had any wounds. "Is your back hurt?" I say and he nods. "Can I look at it?" I ask as he nods, pulling his shirt off to reveal bruises covering his entire back. He starts sobbing again, this time he has his back faced to me so he just falls on the floor. "Oh Draco, you're going to be okay, now, tell me what happened," I say, making sure he knows I'm serious but still caring for him. He tells me everything. I can't believe it. I tell him about the time that I eavesdropped on their conversation. "I should've intervened, I'm so sorry," I say, trying not to cry myself.

"It's okay, " he manages to say in between cries. 

"Can we take you to the hospital wing?" I ask as he nods slowly, placing his shirt back on slowly, winces as it touches his back. We walk to the hospital wing and I explain that he is injured to Madam Pomfrey, her taking him to a bed and shooing me away. I wish I could've stayed with him but I just went back to my dorm, thinking of him as I drift off into slumber.

A/N I hope you guys like this chapter as much as I do! This is a bit longer than last chapter but shorter than the second one. I could've made it longer but I need to get prepared for school.
