Chapter-13
Hope and Healing
"COWARD." Draco screamed in agitation and threw the cup on Granger's office's mirror. "FUCKING COWARD. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE HARRY POTTER. HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?."
Draco had hurried to Granger's office directly after coming from Malfoy Manor. He had expected to hear reassurances from her that Harry would be all right. What he got was a shake of head and a softly spoken "It's too late, Draco. We can do nothing for him now. His body has burnt down and we have kept him on life support system for a period five hours."
He had tried to reason with the woman that their must be some way to heal him, to grow new skin to replace the burnt one. She had firmly shook her head and muttered that the burns were excessive and the tissues and cells had been destroyed. It was impossible to revert that kind of damage." which brought him at this point. He ranted and raved at the unfairness of everything and sheer cowardice of Harry.
"This is a hospital, not your home. Keep quiet." Granger hissed and he ignored her.
"HOW DARE YOU? YOU PROMISED HARRY." He threw another glass, but this time on the floor. "You promised that you will keep patience, that you will give me time. YOU HAD NO BLOODY RIGHT TO RUN AWAY LIKE THIS." He shouted the last sentence in agitation.
"I will throw you out of this hospital if you do not shut up immediately."
That shut him effectively and he sat on the chair across from her again, his head in his hands.
"Their has to be way, some way to save him." He whispered. "I can't just let him die."
"Why do you want to save him? Let him die." She spoke softly and the words were like a slap on his face. He stared at the woman in shock.
"I mean, you can't forgive him. What is the point of saving him when he is going to give his life up again?" She spoke in a matter-of-fact voice and he stared some more at her.
"Are you mad?"
"Why do you think he gave his life up? He could easily have taken a return Portkey. His magic is strong enough to break through strongest of wards. He is skilled in wandless magic and has enough knowledge of wards to deactivate them. Why do you think he didn't escape the manor once the children had gone?"
Draco blinked and blinked some more, his mouth hanging open.
"He wanted to die. He has done it before when he rushed off to the forbidden forest without telling anything to us and he did it again. He did it because he knows that his death is the only way you will be free of him. He knows that you will never forgive him. He has always known it. His sins are unforgivable. No matter, how many years pass, you will never forgive him and he can't live with it. He can't see the same helplessness and desperation in your eyes. So he gave his life up for you and I think something happened that day which made him mad." She narrowed her eyes.
"I was desperate. I have been feeling desperate for days now. I try to increase our physical intimacy and then something stops me and I want to be close to him but I can't. I was angry and frustrated and desperate and he tried to be physical with me, not that I blame him. I have been toying around with him for a week now. Of course he wanted something. I accused him of being a slut for the fourteen years I was insane."
Granger looked at him in shock.
"He has not dated anyone at all. He was immature but he was never a slut, as you put it. He neither visited any pubs nor attended any parties. He neglected everyone and everything and he found solace with you only. He has been trying patiently and has given you as much time as you need and this is how you reward him, Draco. Of course, he was mad and wanted to give up. If you do not have any faith in him and can accuse him of being a slut at the drop of a hat, just let him die. Why do you want him alive anyways? You would be free of him and will be able to pursue a better mate."
"Are you crazy, woman? You are a healer. You can't let him die." He exclaimed angrily.
"I will have you know that he is already dying. He would never forgive me if I bring him back to throw him into the life he had been living, devoid of any trust."
"So what do you want me to do? Have sex with him so that he stays alive?" He snapped at her and she looked at him murderously "When has he forced you for sex or even asked for it? How many times did he initiate any kind of sexual contact except for the last time you told me he wanted to be physical with you. Did he force himself on you?"
Draco shook his head and averted his eyes.
"Did he force you to share a room with him?"
Again a shake of head and Granger asked "Why do you think he needs sex from you, Draco. If you tease him and try to seduce him, of course he will be seduced. You can't blame him for wanting to share your bed when you yourself have been calling him to it."
"All right. I accept that I was wrong. That does no mean that I can let him die-"
"YOU ARE NOT LETTING HIM DIE. He is facing unimaginable pain right now and you will be just setting him free if you permit us to remove him from the life support system."
As if on cue, they heard Harry's loud wail and Hermione closed her eyes, swaying on her feet a little.
"You have to decide quickly if you want to give him a peaceful death. Their is no point of prolonging the inevitable."
Draco stared at Harry's door, lost in his thoughts. Harry's kids were with Ginny outside Harry's room and so were Ronald and Rose Weasley. His father was also sitting outside the room with Severus.
"It should be an easy decision for you, considering the amount of misery, he has created for you. This is a golden chance for you. Their are a lot of wizards and witches, fighting for your attention. You will be able to move on from this Veela bond that has been nothing but an inconvenience for you."
"Shut up" Draco's voice was low and warning.
"Let him die and you can finally live your life in peace."
"Shut up, Granger." Now his voice had become dangerous too.
"You yourself look so sex-deprived Draco. He just needs a push and then you can chose a proper and obedient mate and have loads of sex with him. It will be easy and convenient for you. He is already dying. Let me remove the life support system. He wanted you to live your life happily and no one can blame you for it."
"Shut up. Shut up."
"Fourteen years ago, he tortured you and humiliated you publically. You can finally extract your revenge from him. He will burn to death, fitting punishment for him, don't you think and you can marry your desired mate on his death anniversary next year. A year ought to be enough to know a person. Say the word and I will remove the life support system. If you can't forgive him, then at least extract your revenge so that one of you can live peacefully."
The voice of the slap when Draco's palm connected with Granger's cheek echoed throughout the room and he panted.
"SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. I can forgive him and move on. Time heals wounds and it will heal mine too. I LOVE HIM. you understand. It's not just the Veela bond. I love him and I would be lost without him."
"You can forgive him?" Her voice was shrill when she asked him.
"I am on the way. I think I can make love to him now. I- I want him. I can't him in so much pain, Granger. I wish I could take his pain. I don't want anyone else. I want him because despite his faults, he is a wonderful man and has been nothing but patient with me. I want to hug him and it feels so empty. Their has to be a way. Their-"
"Their is a way to save him." Her voice was soft and her eyes were cautiously studying him. "I wanted to make sure that you will be able to accept him when he is finally healed. I also wanted to make sure that you have enough patience to go through the painful procedure of skin regeneration."
Her cheek was still red from the impact of his slap and he was suddenly very ashamed. When had he become rash.
"Harry must be rubbing off on me." He mumbled and Granger murmured "Agreed. On another note, it will be painful for you too. You will have to remain in Harry's room during the seatings. Your wings calm him down. His burn reduces when your wings touch him. I will have to use your wings in the potions and you will have to prepare the potions. You will have to travel to different countries to brew the said potions because they can be brewed in certain climatic conditions."
"Kids-"
"Have grown up and we are their with them and so are Professor Snape and Lucius. James is taking care his responsibilities towards his siblings and you just take care of Harry and his healing. The coming six months will be quiet difficult for all of us but they will be most difficult for both of you."
Draco sighed in relief after Granger- Hermione's speech and looked at her "I am sorry for slapping you, Hermione."
"Forgiven. I wanted to see whether you love him or not with the same intensity that he does." She whispered, walking towards the small window on Harry's door.
"What did you find out?" Draco asked in wonder.
"Yes, you do."
