Chapter-4
Numb
Sunlight streams inside her room and she opens her eyes, yawning loudly. She had a restless sleep last night. More than once, she felt Potter enter her room and check upon her. She leans against her headboard and presses her knees on her chest before staring out of the window.
The day is bright and sunny and she decides to go out to enjoy the beautiful day later on.
A soft sound of someone clearing their throat brings Draco out of her trance. She turns her face towards the door. She had thought that perhaps the sudden noise would scare her but it doesn't. She knows that this house is safe and that the dark lord is dead.
"Draco." It's her mother who is standing at the door quietly, her face dull and her eyes puffy and red-rimmed. It seems that mother didn't sleep at all last night.
"Mother."
"Severus is here too. Can he come in?" Mother asks her softly. Draco nods and crosses her legs before looking at her folded hands on her lap. Some time during the night, Potter had transfigured her shirt into a pajama and night shirt.
Mother and Severus walk in but Potter doesn't.
"Where is Harry?" She asks. She decides to call him by his first name now onwards. Harry is a nice name and rolls off her tongue quite easily.
Mother settles down beside her, on the edge of the bed and Severus settles down on the chair in front of her bed.
"I am here." A voice reaches her ears and a very cautious looking Harry walks in. An elf trails behind him, a tray of tea and some snacks in his hands.
The boy settles down on the other side of Draco and summons a book for himself.
"Draco." Mother murmurs and Draco looks blankly at her. She wants to be alone right now, not because she is afraid or anything because she isn't. It's over- the war- Voldemort- everything. She wonders if her life is over too.
She doesn't think that Harry would let her life be over just like that.
"Yes mother." She replies politely, her voice soft.
"I didn't know that he had taken you. Had I known, I would never have let him do that. I would have died but won't have let him do that."
"None of us knew Draco. Lucius acted upon his own. He didn't tell anyone at all." Severus murmurs, his eyes pools regret and pain.
"It's - what can I say now? It's over. It's done with. You can't change anything now." She mutters tonelessly, her eyes welling with tears once again.
"How can we help?" Mother mutters.
"We'll do anything that we can." Severus continues.
Draco simply shrugs before answering them, "Just leave me alone for a few days. I will meet you when I join Hogwarts again. I need a bit of silence and I just need to be alone for a few days."
"Are you sure?" Severus asks because mother can't. Mother is crying openly in front of Draco, tears streaming down her cheeks. Draco doesn't feel the urge to comfort her. She is not well herself.
" Leave. It's too late." Draco simply murmurs before laying down on the bed and staring out of the window once again. The day is really nice.
"Potter." Draco mutters. Mother and Severus haven't left yet.
"Yes." He replies.
"Let's go out. Weather is quite nice outside." She murmurs, her fingers tapping on the bedsheet randomly.

Harry places a finger on his lips when Narcissa is about to say something and replies, "Sure. We'll leave after breakfast. There is a very beautiful garden at a bit of distance from here. It has a big pond and ducks and swans. You will love it."
Narcissa mouths, "Thank you." and Harry nods politely. They leave and close the door behind them.
"Potter." Draco mutters again.
"Yes." He replies.
"Do you really love me?" She asks him. He freezes, wondering why she has asked this question from him.
"Yes." He murmurs because he doesn't wish to lie to her.
"I am not a virgin anymore. No bloody sheets in the morning." She mutters bluntly, her body still turned away from him. He closes his eyes to control his temper. It won't do to lose his temper in front of her. She isn't well and will take it otherwise.
"It doesn't matter. I just want you to be well. Are you well?" He says. He is not making it up. This is the only thing he wishes. He just wants her to be happy and well.
"No. I don't think I ever will be well again." She murmurs and turns around. Her eyes gaze silently at him. They are wet again.
"Life is long and you are too young to claim that you'll never be well. One day this will be a distant memory and we'll be happy." He murmurs sadly at her. It's odd how her pain causes pain to him too.
She stares at him, tears streaming from her eyes again. He wants to cry too but he knows that he has to be strong, that he can't change the past. He knows that he can only help her get over this incident. Before today, he had never thought over this. Often he heard and read news of women being sexually assaulted and ignored it because it hadn't effected him yet.
Now though, he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know how to make it good. He doesn't know how to make her forget it.
He doesn't know what she had felt when that beast was - it's so unbearable.
"Okay... Harry." She murmurs and slowly places her head on his lap. She wants comfort and Harry can give that to her. He knows that she doesn't trust anyone else. How can she when her own father betrayed her like this.
He can literally feel the pain that she is feeling. It's written all over her face. It's evident in her trembling fingers. It's evident in the bruises that are still there on her neck. It's obvious from the fact that she doesn't want to eat anything, that she doesn't want to talk to her own mother. The corner of her lip is still scarred and her cheeks have bruises too.
Yet Harry can see that she is being brave. She is breathing. She hasn't tried to kill herself. She is letting Harry help her.
Harry is proud of her for being so brave. She huddles into herself and starts sobbing silently.
There is a lump in his throat and his eyes well. He swallows to stop the tears from falling down and blinks a few times.
He can't cry. He needs to be strong for her. A few hours of someone's insanity have destroyed Draco's life... his life.
A few seconds later, he feels someone's presence on the door and looks up to see a sobbing Hermione in Ron's arms. The boy is looking at them, his eyes pained. They are standing at the entryway. Draco's eyes are closed. Her body is shaking with sobs.
Is this victory... because Harry doesn't think that it is. Are they really free. Harry feels trapped in the never ending cycle of misery and pain.
He places his hand on Draco's head and she starts sobbing even harder. Maybe he should let her cry for a bit. Maybe that will ease her pain.
The sounds of pain that escape her mouth as she wipes her eyes again and again are heart wrenching and though it is close to impossible to restrain his tears, he doesn't cry. He simply swallows and strokes her hair. After a few moments Ron and Hermione come inside.
Hermione has a tray and Ron has some plates and bowls in his hands. They settle down and wait for Draco to calm down.
She seems a bit surprised when she looks at Hermione but doesn't react. She just takes the offered plate and starts eating with them. Her shoulders are not as hunched as they were before and her eyes are not as haunted.
But they still have a long way to go.
"The weather is quite nice Harry. Let's go to that garden today. It's quite beautiful outside. Ron and Draco have never seen it before." Hermione murmurs, her brown eyes warm and wet.
Harry stays quiet. He wants Draco to answer so he waits.
"Sure." She murmurs and looks at Harry. Harry smiles softly and Draco returns to her plate. Harry eyes well with tears as soon as Draco turns away and he breathes hard. Ron looks at him with sympathetic eyes and shakes his head a bit. Harry nods and starts eating too.
