Chapter 5
When Harry woke up the first thing he heard was a soft humming in his ear, leaving his head feeling much better. He felt a comforting warmth in front of him, flexing his hand, he felt fur. 'Ah yes, Paddy.' There was also an immensely gratifying warmth on his back, but it didn't cover his whole back, just one small, intimate spot. He turned his head slowly, that way his headache wouldn't have a chance to come back. What he saw made him smile. Draco had fallen asleep in a chair, leaving his hand on Harry's back for comfort, or so he supposed. Everything was really blurry, but going by the shade of silver blonde hair, he knew for a fact it ho beo be Draco, this fact only hindered by his head hanging down, so literally all Harry saw was the hair. 'Wait a minute, if Draco's asleep, then where is the humming coming from?' Harry looked around the room slowly, coming to focus on the bed across from him, where there sat a person with really frizzy hair from what he could make out without his glasses to assist in his sight. 'Hermione then,' Harry thought and smiled when he realized who else was in the room, waiting for him to wake up, to give him the comfort and care he needed.
Hermione got off the bed, grabbing Harry's glasses, and gently placed them on his face. Smiling, she started to whisper, as not to disturb the other people in the room. "How are you feeling now Harry?"
"Better actually, I think Draco massaged my head and I cuddled with Paddy here. That coupled with my nap, well, both helped out tremendously." Looking curiously at Hermione, Harry asked, "By the way, what time is it? I think I fell asleep about ten or so. I feel so much better though, which is a definite improvement on how I felt the last time I woke up," Harry finished with a smile on his face that just seemed to light up the room. Then his brows knitted together in concentration, making a thoughtful look come over his face. "You know, it's strange really when I think about it. I never thought I'd find someone to love me, nor anyone for me to love. But in the course of twenty-four hours, I have found both." Smiling contentedly, he looked Hermione in the eyes. "Well, I can learn to love Draco, it will take time. I know he's not going anywhere and he would do anything for me. It's ju" bi" biting his lip in frustration, he said, "between the Dursley's and all this worrying about Voldemort, I never had time to think about what I want, or whom I want. It's weird, I mean, I like Draco. Now don't get me wrong," he said, noticing the disbelieving look on Hermione's face. "Not the one we knew running around school calling us names and picking petty, childish fights, not that one. The Draco I met yesterday is a wonderful person. I think you and Ron would like him as well. I think I could be happy with him, given time of course." Smiling shyly, in a serene and calm manner, Harry got another contented look on his face even though what he said next didn't really seem to go with he he looked. "This really is a lot to take in, and it's only the second day, so there is bound to be more to come. But as Hagrid said, what will come will come. And we'll meet it as it comes." Harry stopped when he finally realized he was babbling on and on, not that Hermione minded. Harry was by no means a selfish person. It pleased her that he was finally looking into the world beyond the Dursleys and Voldemort.
"Good, Harry. I'm glad for you; really, I am. It's close to dinnertime actually." Hermione said, answering one of Harry's earlier questions, and then continuing with what she was itching to say. "You deserve a little happiness in your life. Even if it is Draco Malfoy," here she smiled in a mischievous way, a small, knowing smile gracing her features, "that gives it to you. As long as you're happy Harry, I don't care whom you're with. I'm your friend and all I want is your happiness, plain and simple." Hermione smiled at him again, giving him a sisterly look. He could tell by the mistiness in her eyes that she was truly happy for him. "So, tell me what happened yesterday, did you two get to know each other better? What's he like?" Hermione got into girlfriend mode, not the 'we're going out' girlfriend, but 'girl talk' girlfriend. Harry had to try and stifle a giggle over Hermione's antics, but it was good both of them could smile. Little did either of them know, but both Padfoot and Draco were listening intently to them talk about Harry and Draco's budding relationship.
"Well I told him about living with the Dursley's, obviously that wasn't a fun time." Wrinkling his nose in disgust, Harry shook his head to dispel those thoughts that brought nothing but sadness. "I spent most of the morning in my room trying to figure things out though. Lunch was all right, I figured out some more things, oh, and I told Draco about Snuffles," Harry said, rather casually. Almost as though there were talking about the weather, Harry continued, n Dun Dumbledore came by to make sure we hadn't killed each other." Smiling benignly at Hermione, Harry got a definite twinkle to his eyes that reminded the girl of the Headmaster. "Draco's been very good to me the last two days, Hermione. I told him," pausing, he tried to figure out the best way to tell her this. "I told him I could learn to love him. I really think I can, given time that is. He hasn't pushed me, and today when I woke up the first time after you left," getting a definite dreamy expression on his face, Harry about started to gush like a girl, "oh 'Mione! He was so gentle with me, and he even threatened Siri with physical harm if he didn't quiet down because my head was so sore. I couldn't believe he was actually sticking up for me." Harry couldn't hold back the giggle when the scene replayed in his head. Hermione smiled again. "So, where is our hotheaded redhead?" Harry asked, wondering if he would ever be in Ron's good graces again. They didn't know it, but Draco did his best to stop his contempt from showing and succeeded in biting back a snort of utter disgust and loathing.
"Harry, you know how Ron gets when he's mad." Biting her lip, Hermione continued in what she h was was a consoling tone of voice, "Give him some time to adjust; he'll come around. I'll talk to him as well." Getting a firm look upon her face, she said, "One of these days he's going to go too far, and whomever he is confronting will not be able to forgive him. I just don't understand how he can be so caring and kind one minute, then totally unforgivable the next. If I were you Harry, I'd let him stew for awhile, he really does need to think before he speaks." Rising out of her seat, Hermione started to pace in front of Harry's bed. "I mean, he didn't even give you a chance to tell us anything before he flew off the handle! Draco was right when he said what he did about Ron. He doesn't give anyone the chance to speak, then gets mad over nothing, and comes crawling back when he's finally cooled down and thought about it logically." Sighing, Hermione ran a hand frustratedly through her bushy hair. "I love him, the little git, and everything, but this is the most annoying trait he has." Harry snorted lightly, trying to keep in mind that Sirius and Draco were still sleeping, or so Harry and Hermione thought.
"I know, some of the things he said were unforgivable, but he was the first friend, besides Hagrid, that I ever had. I don't want to lose that. We've been through so much together; he's one of the few that know what it's like running from that madman, Voldemort." Trying to not look into the pitying eyes he knew would be looking at him, he continued, "I know you know as well, but there are times I just would rather talk to a guy rather then a girl about things, you know? Don't get me wrong 'Mione, I love you dearly, your like the annoying sister my parents could have had, but never had the chance. No one could ever replace you in my life, but Ron's like the annoying brother as well. I love him too much to just give up when he gets like this. He'll get over himself eventually and then we'll get it worked out. Maybe once he sees that Draco really is concerned for me, I don't know, maybe he'll lay off and just deal with it and accept it." Harry said, hoping that what he said would come to pass, rubbing his hands over his face in an annoyed gesture.
Hermione watched her best friend in the world as she accepted his fate of being Draco's mate. She saw the resignation in his eyes, but it was not regretful. He had finally seen that he could be loved and love in return without fear of repercussions. He knew Hermione would always be there, just like Sirius and now Draco.
"All right, Harry. I need to go track Ron down and make sure he's doing his homework and not playing chess." Hermione stated in an authoritative tone. "I'll see you after dinner, or maybe during, if Madam Pomfrey releases you in time." Hermione bent over, kissing him on his forehead, and then left the room just as quietly as she had entered.
After Hermione left, Harry sighed deeply and started scratching behind Sirius' ear. Harry appeared to be in deep thought, and after a few minutes of his thinking, he was brought out of his reverie by a big tongue across his face.
"EWWWWW! Siri, did you have to do that?" Harry asked, inflecting a very whiny tone to his voice. "That's very slobbery and disgusting, give me something to wipe my face off with." Behind him he heard Draco giggle. "Oh, hush up you, you didn't get slimed by 'the grim'" Harry mocked in his best Professor Trelawney voice, attempting to sound as misty and foreboding as the fraud that taught Divination. Draco then let out a great laugh and almost fell off his chair with mirth. Harry couldn't help it, he had to laugh as well. Snuffles joined in by barking along with their laughter, showing his amusement in the only way he could when he was a dog. Sirius then transformed back to human form and handed Harry a handkerchief, allowing Harry to wipe away the dog slobber all over his face.
