Chapter 26: I love you

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you... I could walk through my garden forever
-Alfred Tennyson

Harry's POV

I groaned as a sharp pain pierced through my skull. I clutched my head and opened my eyes to realise that I was situated in one of the many beds in the hospital wing.

"Harry mate! You're awake." I heard Ron, making me groan once again from how loud my friend was being.

"Ronald, shut it! You're being too loud." Hermione, this time spoke. Although I don't think she realises that she's being loud too.

"Wait, Harry's awake?!" Another shrill voice screamed but this time I woke up straight, ignoring the pain and looking over to my right where Draco lay, struggling to get up from his bed.

"Draco, stop. You're not supposed to be moving." Hermione said, rushing over to his side to make him stay still.

"Shut it, Granger." Draco said, shoving Hermione away and I was gonna tell him off for being rude to her but before I could Draco had already ran over to my side and enveloped me in a bone crushing hug.

I smiled and reciprocated the hug before pulling back and giving Draco a dismayed look.

"Hermione said to go rest." I pointed out and Draco scoffed in return which made me frown.

"I didn't save your arse to be told to go rest!" Draco huffed and that's when it all clicked. Death eaters, kidnapping, Draco helping us escape. Well, I don't really have a memory of draco escaping us since I fainted but not before... Holy shit! I confessed to him.

I panicked, hoping Draco didn't hear me whisper my confession.

"What? No 'thank you, Dray'?" Draco asked impatiently and that's when I noticed he had a huge gash on his abdomen that was bandaged but still had blood seeping through.

"I'm sorry. Thank you, Dray but... you need to rest. That gash looks horrible." I said, showing my concern for him and Draco sighed, in annoyance I think, before walking over to his bed and plopping down, wincing as he did so.

"Do you want us to give you guys some alone time?" 'Mione asked and I was about to deny when Draco spoke.

"Yes, we'd like that." Draco glared at me and I gulped hard in fear of what awaited for me.

"Um,. Ok, mate. We'll be going now. Get well soon!" Ron yelled which made me wince and groan.

Hermione said a little 'get well' and a kiss on the cheek for both Harry and Draco before walking out of the room with Ron. 

"Harry, you do know I'm mad at you, right?" Draco asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes, although I don't really know why..." i trailed off, unsure of wether I should've said that or not when I saw Draco's nose flare in anger.

I braced myself for his wrath but then he stood up again, limping over to me before giving me a downright slap across the face and it bloody hurt alright. 

"You dumb stupid imbecile piece of shit!" He cursed, pointing a finger in my face as he seethed at me.

"I'm gonna guess that I deserved that." I muttered before pulling Draco by his wrist towards me and making him lay down beside me on the bed.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked but I didn't respond and made him lay flat on his back, so his wound wouldn't be hurt.

"Sorry, could I know what I did?" I asked as I lay on my side, facing Draco as I made my head more comfortable on the pillow.

"You- you freaking almost died on me! I thought I lost you, you idiot! I thought- i thought I actually failed to protect you! And what's even worse is that u seemed to make it like it's your last breath! You said you loved me like you were gonna die! You're really funny Potter for even thinking that I'd let you die after you said that!" Draco finished his rant, a stray tear rolling down his cheek.

And then there was me... stunned by what I was hearing.

"Aren't you gonna say anything, idiot?" He asked, his voice a bit more calm than it was a few seconds ago.

I stared at him for awhile before I broke into a fit of hysterics, laughing from the shock of it.

"What's so funny?!" Draco asked as he brushed his fingers through his hair, insecure on his appearance which just made me smile so bright from how cute he was.

"Was that your way of saying you love me back?" I finally asked when I caught my breath. He shot me an incredulous look before huffing and smacking the back of my head.

"Argh!" I yelled as my head quite literally started spinning.

"Oh shit, I forgot about your head. I'm so sorry, Harry." Draco said quickly. Picking up an ice pack from the side table and pressing it to my head.

"Is that better?" He asked and I nodded, placing my hand over his.

"Dray?" I asked, shooting him a smile. Getting a newfound courage out of nowhere. 

"What?" He asked back, turning his head to look at me. For a second I forgot what I was gonna say as I stared into those beautiful grey eyes that still to this day struck me with awe.

"I- i love you." I whispered. Loosing the little bit of courage I had as I stared into his eyes. Nervous of his reaction.

"Stupid Potter," he scoffed, making me frown.

"Of course, I love you too, you big sap." Draco said after a few seconds of silence, a smile broke out onto his face. I smiled too, way too happy but at the same time scared that this was another one of my dreams.

"I love you. I love you. I love you." I repeated as I snaked an arm around his chest, careful to not accidently touch his wound. He held onto my hand tightly which comforted me.

"You're such a Hufflepuff." Draco said, smiling nonetheless as he stared into my eyes. 

This seemed to be the perfect moment. The perfect moment for a kiss and so I leaned a bit, our foreheads touched and our lips stood a mere inch away from each other.

"Can I?" I asked, looking down at his lips before back into his gorgeous grey eyes.

"Yes," he breathed out and I closed the distance between us and kissed him passionately. I cupped his jaw and pulled him in harder, pressing our lips harshly but being slow with my movements. It wasn't fireworks and sparks like all the cringe novels said but... it was perfect. Draco was perfect in my eyes.

I pulled back and gave him another quick peck before resting my head on his chest.

I wished this wasn't another dream I'd wake up to. I wished this was reality that Draco loved me.
