If I’m Dreaming Don’t Wake Me Up
‘I would swallow my pride/…/ Want to put my tender heart in a blender/ Watch it spin around in a beautiful oblivion’ Inside Out by Eve 6
-------------------------------
Draco cautiously woke up, scared out his mind. Why was he warm? Where was the pain? Why did it feel like he was on a soft bed of all things? His mind spun round and round as he gently breathed, relieved that the pain in his body had been reduced to a just-a-bit-too-sharp-to-be-considered-dull pain, even if he still couldn’t move his legs right. They moved but it was jerky and slow and caused his back to hurt more so he just stopped trying. He heard someone get up in the room and shut his eyes sharply.
“Draco? Are you awake, love?” A sweet voice Draco had long since given up on hearing again said breathlessly, anxiously.
No. That was impossible, Harry had forgotten him and left him to rot, he wasn’t here, he hadn’t rescued Draco. It was all just a bad dream and Draco needed to wake –
“I… It’s ok,” Draco felt the bed dip slowly as Harry joined him on it, a hesitant and gentle hand touched his exposed shoulder, “I’m here, it’s all going to be ok, I promise my little dragon, it’s ok,”
Draco started to cry into the pillow beneath his face, his lung and body aching with each heartbroken sob that came from his throat, “Go away, go away, stop t-torturing me like this! You aren’t real! You aren’t real!”
----------------------------
“I am Draco,” Harry cooed, gently lifting the still healing blonde into his arms. It had been three weeks since Draco’s release and Harry hadn’t moved from his side in all that time. He’d been terrified that if he left for a moment that Draco would vanish, or wake up all alone, or or or… terrible horrors of what could happen had haunted Harry every time Severus managed to force him to leave to bath and use the washroom. In the end, Severus realized the only way to make him go willingly was to suggest that Draco could use washing and moving and convincing Harry to wash himself at the same time.
“No… no you’re not!” Draco screamed, but clung tightly to Harry all the same.
“I am, it’s all right my sweet little dragon, my love, my Draco,” Harry said, rocking his blonde soul mate until he calmed enough to look up at him.
“I….is it true?”
“Yes,” Harry said, starting to cry himself, “I’m so sorry, had I know… had I remembered, I’m so sorry,”
Draco tried to sit up on his own but cried out as the action sent a streak of fire up his spine as his legs jerked and cramped with the strain.
“Shhh,” Harry whispered, “Don’t force it… they… whoever did this damaged your spine pretty bad, Sev’s not sure how well it will ever heal up but for now you need to not try and use your legs or such and just let it heal,”
“Harry!” Draco cried out, pulling himself closer together as Harry laid him down softly on the bed in what Draco now recognized as his Godfather’s spare bedroom at Spinner’s End.
“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you, but I have to go get Severus,” Harry whispered, leaning down and kissing Draco’s forehead softly, lingering longer than need be, “I’ll be right back I promise,”
Harry hurried from the room and Draco had to force himself to keep from hyperventilating, he was terrified now that Harry was gone. Draco couldn’t seem to calm down and just got more and more upset as a few minutes passed without Harry returning. Each second reaffirming in his mind that he was crazy and he was really back in his cell in Azkaban having a –
Harry rushed back in, Severus hot on his heels and climbed back on the bed, gathering a crying and terrified Draco into his arms, shushing and cooing at the distraught blonde.
“It’s alright, I got you, it’s alright,”
“You…you went a-away and t-took so loooong,” Draco cried, uncaring of how he appeared to either man.
“Shhh, it’s ok now, I’m here and I’m not going anywhere I promise,” Harry murmured to him until Draco calmed down enough for Severus to approach the bed.
“Draco, I need to examine you,” He said softly, pulling off the blankets that were draped around the otherwise nude blonde, “You suffered extencive damage and I need to see what I can do and what we’ll need a more advanced healer for, Harry will be by you throughout all of it and if you need it to stop you just say so, alright?”
Draco nodded, putting his head into Harry’s neck until he was all laid out on his back for Severus. Harry did stay by his side, running a hand through his –thankfully- finally washed hair, and Draco just focused on his as Severus ran diagnostic scans on him and physically examined him. When it came down to below the waist Draco started to hyperventilate again, Severus would see the still healing birth canal and know and then Harry would and –
“Shhh, love, we know already,” Harry said pulling Draco’s upper half up into his lap as the blonde cried for their child.
“Our baby… they… they did-didn’t even l-let me see him or h-her,” Draco wailed, clutching at his one line of sanity in all of this as he cried until, exhausted, he fell back asleep once more.
-------------------------------
Harry tightly held his anger in check as Severus finished his examination; Draco was a dead weight in his arms, but a precious one. Harry was loath to put him down but Severus had to tell him what to expect and update him on the search for their child.
They hadn’t had much luck so far, the healer was anonymous and tracking the bastard down was proving difficult. They did have a lead though on his assistant, and if they could find her maybe they could find the healer and learn the location of Draco and Harry’s child.
“How bad?” He asked as the door closed quietly behind them.
“I doubt he’ll ever regain full usage of his legs, and the road to being able to walk with any sort help is going to be painful… the nerve is damaged so it will likely always bother him, and it would be… near impossible, to even attempt to restore it with magic, and honestly I wouldn’t advise trying, it could kill him,”
“And the other… thing?” Harry asked, the words sticking his throat and his stomach rolling at the thought of someone… taking advantage of his sweet dragon.
“He shouldn’t have any lasting physical damage… but mentally? In his state? It doesn’t look good,”
“Thank you, Severus, for everything,” Harry said, going back into the room before Draco could wake up again.
----------------------------
Draco’s second waking was easier, the reality of the situation settling into their place in his mind. Draco carefully sat up using his arms and looked over to where Harry was sitting, fast asleep, all curled up in the most uncomfortable looking chair Draco had ever seen. Draco stared at him for what seemed like eternity until his brunet finaly started to wake up and rushed over to him.
“Are you alright?” Harry asked nervously.
“No, but… I’m a damn sight better than I was awhile ago,” Draco replied honestly, the words coming out scratchy and dry sounding, his throat sore and parched, “Could… could I get some water?”
“Of course!” Harry damn near shouted, “Tippy!”
“Yes, Master Harry?” A meek house elf with an unusually clean rag about her body answered, popping into exictence besides the bed.
“Some water please,”
“Of course,”
They sat in silence until Tippy returned with a cold glass, just watching each other in amazement.
“Here you go, Master Harry,” Tippy said, handing the glass over, “Just call if you or the Master Draco require anythin’ else,”
Draco gulped down the entire glass before speaking, “Odd elf,”
“Yeah, Severus…”
“Say no more,” Draco replied, settling back down against the pillows as Harry laid down next to him, “So… what has happened? To me and… well… you,”
