17 The child beneath the surface
Draco was laying next to his boyfriend giving him some time to sleep and recover from the alcohol and tablet induced intoxication and hoping that the dazed state of mind caused the strange side-effect he witnessed. It was horrible to watch someone talking about suicide showing no emotion at all and this was something he really couldn’t deal with because he had no chance to help if the other boy wouldn’t let him though. The blonde could have slapped himself because of his own inability to do something and he still had no idea if it was the right thing to let the drunken teen sleep instead of having him checked by the mediwitch in the infirmary. The young Malfoy watched carefully the sleeping soundly boy noticing every sign of change.
The time passed and both boys didn’t appear for lunch at the Great Hall and Harry was still sleeping and from time to time he snored lightly. Draco had no idea how long they were laying there together as the other boy at least woke up with a start and looked at his boyfriend in shock. The black-haired Slytherin was very pale his hair sticking into every direction wet with sweat. The Boy-Who-Lived grabbed with one hand at his stomach and made a face like he was suffering. The silver-haired boy asked, "Are you sick again?"
The other boy nodded slowly and explained, "My stomach kind of rotates and it hurts."
Harry sat up slowly and closed his eyes for a short moment before he stood up looking rather wobbly and hurried to his washbasin vomiting again. The smaller and fragile boy rinsed his face with lots of ice cold water and returned to the bed with an embarrassed expression on his face. Draco didn’t know what he should do now and he tried to smile at his boyfriend but it didn’t work trying still to hide his concern for the other boy. Harry then took his hand into his own trembling hands and locked his eyes with the blonde Slytherin once more drowning in these stormy ice blue eyes.
Harry broke the silence after a moment and spoke softly "Draco, I’m so sorry." Draco disclosed carefully to the other boy "You needn’t to be sorry for something that wasn’t your fault. But I want you to know that I am what I am and some things can’t be changed. Surely one of them is, that I don’t want somebody to hurt you and get along without revenge. I can’t bear to see these bastards bing ing like some gods that have the right to do something terrible pretending they punished you for disgracing their house and no one kicks their ass. These slimy gits are the real disgrace for Gryffindor and you have to pay the price for them but I won’t let go off them until they’ve paid their price as well."
Harry gave his now fuming lover a calming glance and explained, "I don’t know what’s gotten into me as I heard that you planned a revenge. I know very well who you are and that’s why I love you. You are the one who cares for me and makes me feel beloved and safe and who understands what I feel without much explanation. I like the way you try to protect me because I never had someone who didn’t expect me to be strong or deal with everything alone. For the muggles I’m just a freak and in the wizardry world I’m a hero ..." his voice trailed off.
The silver-haired Slytherin pulled his boyfriend into an embrace and caressed his back gently.
Draco said softly "I’ll promise you that the Weasel and the others will be punished and nobody’ll know what happened to you except you allow it."
Harry leant into the embrace searching for the warmth and closeness of the other boy. The blonde was holding his boyfriend tightly and began to relax hoping that things started to get better from now on. Harry didn’t mention their conversation before he fell asleep and had to run over to the washbasin vomiting twice, before he told his lover that he felt better again. The raven-haired boy still was shaky, his hands trembling awfully his face as white as the candles on his desk.
Draco noticed that the other boy seemed to relax visibly in his arms and slung protectively one arm around his shoulder running some fingers through the sweaty shock of black hair with the other hand. Harry’s expression softened while he rested his head on his boyfriend’s chest and the eye-colour changed into a brighter ocean green. Harry cuddled himself up to the blonde Slytherin and slung his arms around him gently. The way Harry moved reminded the other boy of a little child that was cuddling up against his mother or father and he glanced briefly at his partner’s face noticing the chances amazed.
Draco asked softly "Harry, do you think we could go to the Great Hall for supper this evening?"
Harry looked innocently at him and answered with a softer voice than usual "Oh, yeah. I’m so hungry. Can we go soon, please?"
The silver-haired boy frowned and was aware that this sounded much like a little child too and he petted the other boy’s hair tenderly wondering what was happening now and remembering a certain text passage in one of the books he read about sexual child abuse. That must be one of the side-effects that were described in those books.
They heard a knock at the door and as usual Blaise Zabini rushed in without waiting for an answer. The handsome black-haired boy watched the two other boys carefully and spoke hastily "Common we have to go to supper. You can’t skip another meal because Professor Snape asked where you’ve been."
Harry snorted, "Uh, ... I hate that slimy teacher!" and he made a disgusted face.
Blaise frowned and asked, "What’s wrong Harry, still drunken?"
The Boy-Who-Lived shook his head pulling impatiently his lover in a sitting position nearly whining "Common Draco, I’m starving!"
The three Slytherins made their way to the Great Hall without any problems and Draco was holding hands with his boyfriend. Entering the hall bum bumped into a person that was waiting behind the door and turned out to be Ron Weasley. The redhead was glaring at them and he shove the former Gryffindor roughly away speaking harshly "Don’t you dare to cross my way, weakling!"
Harry’s face reddened with anger and he stepped forward and now it was his turn to shove his former best friend away yelling "Don’t you dare to touch me again, bastard!"
Draco took out his wand and drawled dangerously "Leave him alone Weasel!"
The Gryffindor grinned wickedly and snorted "Very protective about that slut Ferret Boy, aren’t you?"
The other students watched the scene with fascination and they saw the sudden magical wave hit the redhead like an electric shock wave and Draco slung his arm around Harry’s shoulder pulling him towards the Slytherin table. The black-haired Slytherin with the famous scar followed his lover with a puzzled expression on his face and he hid his eyes behind his unruly hair as he saw the curious glances everyone was giving him. The three Slytherins sat down at the table and the blonde boy watched his boyfriend who was sitting with his back towards the other students.
The expression in his face changed once more from confusion to fear, then to anger and at least to his usual sinister looking glance. Harry’s features hardened again and his eye-colour changed to glittering emerald. The blonde was watching the quick barely visible changes with fascination and the other boy spoke with his normal voice again "I’m starting to really hate Ron Weasley for his unbearable behaviour."
Nobody else than Draco seemed to notice what was going on and the trio was eating meal without other incidents.
