Chapter-19
The check up
Harry walked beside Draco. Perhaps he was being over protective but Draco was not complaining and he needed to take care that Draco was not ignoring his own comfort so he asked "We could have taken appointment of another healer. I know that you are uncomfortable."
"Harry, you are being rude. She would be-" Draco started and Hermione cut off "Sorry for interfering but I understand. It's all right. I am under the healer's oath. I cannot hurt you. Do not worry please." She was being surprisingly understanding and Harry wondered if she had deduced some things that he hadn't. Hermione had always been perceptive.
Draco answered politely "Thank you." And Harry just remained quiet, worried about Draco's injuries.
Draco noticed his frown and muttered "I will be fine Harry."and Harry sighed "I am worried."
They reached Harry's room and opened the door. Hermione entered and so did they and Harry locked the door.
"What area is affected?" Granger asked professionally and Draco's cheeks tinged red. Harry answered for him "His hips, inner thighs and legs."
Both Draco and Hermione turned completely blank. Draco was holding his hands too tightly and looking at the opposite wall and Hermione was wearing an utterly sad expression.
It was Harry who broke the uncomfortable silence "Ummm, we can just see another healer. Hermione will be biased with your case, Draco. She has never been fond of you."
Both Draco and Hermione stared at him in shock. Harry shrugged, his eyes on Draco's face and his hands holding Draco's tightly "Draco is my priority and this is the truth. She has never behaved politely with you."
He turned to look at Hermione. She stared at him, stunned for a couple of seconds before clearing his throat "Unfortunately, this is true but I am never biased with my patients, Harry. Believe me, I have realized my mistake as far as Draco is concerned. I will turn around Draco and you can just shift your trousers a bit so that I can check your hip area and when I will check your legs, I will cover your hips. I will cover your legs when I check your back and chest. I will wear gloves so you don't not need to worry. Harry can sit with you and hold your hands if that will comfort you."
Harry looked at Draco and asked softly "Should we proceed or should I fix appointment with another healer?" Hermione wore her gloves and continued "I know a healer who is good and I can get your appointment fixed."

Draco looked at each of them and shrugged Harry's hands, murmuring "It's fine if Harry sits with me." before shifting his trousers a bit. He walked towards the bed and lay on his stomach on it. He was facing the bed that is why he did not notice Granger look at his injuries and walk towards Harry to slap his face tightly. He looked at his husband who was staring at the bushy haired woman, gaping in shock.
Granger was panting, his eyes burning with anger. Draco simply stared at her.
"This is what you have been doing for the past few days and in initial years of your marriage. I had thought that it was Draco who was an animal, who just shouted and fought with you and quarrelled with us as well. I had never imagined that you would be so animalistic, Harry." She shouted at him, punching his chest and Draco came out of his stupor to whisper "Granger."
She went on, nevertheless "I had a look at the effected area. It is apparent that you had whipped him with a stick." She turned towards him and smiled weakly "Relax, Draco. It will take a few minutes." Draco was so mesmerized by her behaviour that he opened his mouth and closed it. She walked towards him slowly and he relaxed. Harry stood their, still staring in shock. He came out of his stupor and walked towards Draco and sat down. Draco wondered why Harry did not defend himself. Harry had never lifted a hand on him.
XXXX
Harry did not defend himself because he wanted Draco to know that Hermione cared for him and that she was not his enemy. Hermione parted Draco's hips gently and turned white in just a couple of seconds. What happened was not unexpected. Hermione turned towards him with fury in her eyes. He had not seen her look like this ever since the battle.
"You- You animal. You utter bastard. You knife fucked him. You twisted swine. I will sue you. I will take you to the aurors and get you thrown in prison. HOW DARE YOU HARRY? You are sorely mistaken if you think that I will let you go unpunished Harry. I will- I will- how could you, you bastard." She screamed and he grimaced.
XXXX
Sweet Merlin. Draco thought and interrupted her rant "He did not give me those. They were, er, inflicted by my, er, clients." She cast a spell and muttered "But then, they are a decade old. Why were they not healed?" The burn decreased and she accioed a healing ointment, before muttering "Please apply this Harry. I think he would prefer you to do it instead of me."
"I- well, I did not want harry to know about these scars. I, ah-" Draco moaned because the scars burned and Harry whispered, applying the ointment gently "Shhh, a few minutes."
Draco continued, looking at the woman "I hid them well. I applied glamours and applied some cream when they hurt. I had painkillers. I never sought professional help."
XXXX
Harry looked at Hermione and she looked at him. He shook his head dismissing the apology that her eyes had. She sighed before continuing "I understand. Now, though, you can just come to me for help. You don't have to feel shy and I won't tell Harry if you don't want me to. I think I will need to examine the rest of your body before prescribing medicines.
"I know that we need to talk and I will tell you all everything after the ministry party tonight." Draco whispered, his head facing Hermione. She had started examining the rest of his body and Harry was sitting with Draco's head in his lap. Draco held his hands and looked at him "I did promise Harry that I would."
"Yes, he did, Hermione and I think that Ron and you should be there to listen it." Harry said and Hermione looked at him and then at Draco before turning back to casting the spell on Draco's effected areas and noting something down.
"It's fine, Draco." harry did notice that her eyes were blank and Draco noticed it too because he looked at him worriedly. She continued "Their is no pressure on you. You must tell us when you feel comfortable. You have not taken time to heal yourself. you have spent the past decade ignoring your pain. You must not keep it inside you. You must talk about it with somebody even if it's Harry. We have a lot of time to discuss things. Just know that we were not the ones who perhaps abused and manipulated you. Someone must have polyjuiced as us."
"But they-" Draco stared and Hermione interrupted, casting a spell on his left and right nipple "We will talk about it when you are comfortable. This is not the right time. We are your friends. I -" She cleared her throat and her eyes welled. Draco stared at her and Harry stared too as she wiped her eyes with a tissue paper, whispering "I am sorry for not noticing earlier. Ron is sorry too. He really considers you his family Draco. he has, since you married Harry. In fact, he was the who burned the divorce papers with professor Snape. Just know that you are not alone in this. We want you to heal and you have to express your pain to heal, Draco."
Hermione had completed the check up and was now sitting on the opposite chair "You can visit a mind healer for this and if you don't want to tell a third person about it, you can have sessions with Harry, that is if you feel comfortable with him. It is possible that you scream, or cry or break things to let it out so just let yourself be. Know that we understand. Your injuries are extensive. I can only imagine the extent of trauma you are in."
Of course, Draco growled at her "I am not in a trauma."
"You are, Draco." She whispered softly and Draco snarled at her sitting up "I am not in a bloody trauma. you have no right to judge me. You don't know what I went through. You were happy in your life. It was me who suffered through everything."
After a silence of five minutes, Draco turned towards Harry and buried his face in his shoulders because Hermione was right. She was looking at Harry and he whispered, feeling grateful that she was trying to help "She is right. You need to heal. Do not feel sorry." They needed a healer's perspective.
"I am sorry." Draco murmured and Hermione spoke softly "I just told you that we are your family and you can let your pain out in any way you want. Their is no need to be sorry. You must visit people, your parents, Snape, Remus, Sirius. It has been a long time since you visited any of them or even owled them. Harry must reconcile with his godfathers too."
"They must be so ashamed of me. I am a disgrace and I am- am dirty." Draco whispered in a low voice and Harry trembled all over. This was the first time, Draco had used this word.
"You are not dirty, Draco." Harry argued, barely concealing his fury and alarm. Hermione agreed firmly "You are not and that's what I meant. You need to talk about it. Right now, you must rest. We will go shop for some robes for Harry when you wake up. Till then we are going to get ready at our own place. Open your mouth. I am giving you a dreamless sleep potion. I will bring ye medicines you need to take."
Draco opened his mouth and consumed the potion before lying down and Harry kissed his eyebrow.

Granger was at the door when Draco whispered "Thank you. I was right. You are the best healer, all over Britain and France."
" I am humbled, Draco but I am your family and you don't need to thank me. Go to sleep. You need it." She whispered and left. Harry sat behind him and they heard a sob. She had kept her emotions carefully concealed all the while and Draco was surprised.
"Harry, we are leaving. I just wanted ot say that I am your friend as well, Draco. Please don't ever think otherwise." Ron spoke from outside the closed door and Draco murmured "Okay." He was not ready to talk to Weasley and did not pressurise himself. Harry kissed his forehead and whispered "Go to sleep." before accioing a book and he closed his eyes.
