Lookie here! Chapter 9 on time! I don't really have anything to say here like I normally do. I think mostly because I said it all when I posted Chibi yesterday. If you haven't checked that out you should. Don't let the title fool you. It's an H/D story full of fluffiness! I'm working on a lot of stories right now. Unfortunately, Face Down seems to have fallen beneath them so... I haven't exactly been working on this like I should be. I do have two more completed chapters though. Then there's chapter 12, which I've barely started. Then 13 is finished. 14 doesn't have anything at all. And then 15 and 16 are both done. So I really should be working on chapter 12 and making sure that's finished. Then maybe I can take another break from this and work on my other stuff. This is why I hate writing chapter stories. I end up getting bored. I'm surprised I've stay with it as long as I have. Ah yes, before I forget, this chapter was beta'd by the lovely Shizumi! I thank her for her ideas and helping me make this story fleshier! And as always, read, review, rate, and enjoy!

Harry could hear someone calling his name, telling him to wake up. He didn’t want to wake up though. He didn’t want to face the tragedy his life had become.

Against his will, Harry's eyes fluttered open. A moment later, someone slid his glasses on so he could see properly.

“How are you feeling, Harry?” A soft, male voice asked.

The dark-haired boy turned his head to see Draco sitting on the side of his bed, holding his hand.

“I’m tired and sore.” Harry replied groggily.

“I’m sorry.” Draco said softly. “I’ll go tell Madam Pomfrey that you’re awake. I’ll be right back.” He said reassuringly.

Harry nodded weakly.

A few moments later, the medi-witch and Draco came out of her office. She was holding a couple vials in her hand.

“Welcome back, Mr. Potter.” She said evenly. “I just need to make sure everything went alright. Then I want you to take this sleeping potion. It’ll help you heal faster.”

“Ok.” Harry said quietly.

“You seem to be doing well, as well as can be expected anyways.” Madam Pomfrey said as she finished checking him.

“Can I ask you a question?” He quietly asked.

“Of course dear. Is something wrong?” She asked kindly.

“No nothing’s… wrong. I was just wondering… was it…? I mean was the baby, was it…” Harry started.

Madam Pomfrey sighed sadly. “It was a little boy Harry.”

Harry gave a small, sad smile as a few tears leaked from the corner of his eyes.

“Can I talk to Harry for a few minutes before he takes the sleeping potion?” Draco asked after a few moments of silence.

“Yes you may. But when I come back out here, he had better be asleep.” She said sternly.

“Yes ma’am.” He said respectfully.

“What is it?” Harry asked once the medi-witch was gone.

Draco sat back down before speaking. “I just thought you’d like to know that Ron has been expelled and arrested. He can never hurt you again, Harry.”

“Thank you, Draco.” Harry said as more tears fell from his eyes. The blonde smiled softly in return.

“Here, you’d better take this now.” He said as he uncorked the vial and handed it to Harry.

Harry quickly downed the liquid and set the empty vial on the nightstand. “Will you lay down with me?” He asked before the potion started to affect him

“Sure.”

Draco kicked his shoes off before slipping under the covers and cuddling up with Harry, chest to chest.

“Draco?” Harry asked tiredly.

“Yes, Harry?”

“Can I be your boyfriend?” He asked.

Draco replied, “Under one condition.”

“Hmm?”

“I get to be your boyfriend.” He said quietly.

Harry smiled a little, eyes closed, and Draco took that as a yes.

“I would’ve named him James.” Draco heard Harry mumble quietly.

“After your dad?” He asked. But Harry had fallen asleep already.

The blonde chuckled lightly, slid Harry's glasses off his nose so they wouldn’t break in his sleep and placed them on the bedside table. “Good night, Harry.” He whispered and kissed his scarred forehead.

Draco, not being tired at all, just laid there and held Harry for a few hours until he finally did fall asleep. He didn’t want Harry to wake up alone.

~!~

Early in the morning, Draco was woken up by the sound of whimpering. He was confused for a moment because he wasn’t sure what would be making that sound. His eyes snapped open when he remembered where he was and why.

“Harry, Harry wake up.” He said quietly and gently shook his shoulder.

“I’m not asleep.” Harry said brokenly.

Draco gently lifted Harry's chin, wet with tears, and tilted his head back to look him in the eye.

“It’s ok Harry. Everything will be alright.” He said and cupped Harry's cheek, wiping the tears away with his thumb in a soothing motion.

The sobbing boy shook his head furiously, dislodging the hand. “No it won’t. Nothing will ever be alright again.” He wailed into Draco's chest.

“Shh shh shh shh. Everything will be alright. Maybe not right away, but it will get better. I’ll make sure of it.” The blonde said softly.

Harry pulled back a bit to look Draco in the face. “How do you know?” He argued.

“I’ve seen people come out of a lot worse. I’ve seen you come out of a lot worse. And I want to help you get better, like any good boyfriend would.” Draco explained.

“Why—?” Harry started but was cut off by a gentle finger to his lips.

“No one deserves even half of what you’ve had to go through in life. First a madman tried to kill you for 14 years of your life. Then your best friend turned on you the way he did and you ended up pregnant. Now you just lost that baby. Voldemort himself would feel sorry for you.” Draco said.

“Thanks, I guess.” Harry said glumly.

“Besides, what would you have done if you had found me broken and bleeding like that?” Draco asked. Harry just shrugged at first but the older boy gave him time to think about his answer.

“I suppose I would have done the same thing you did.” Harry finally replied, “Except, I would have told someone even if you told me not to.”

“Merlin knows I wanted to tell Dumbledore! But I think I wanted to be your friend even more. Had I told when you asked me not to, you might have felt betrayed all over again.” The blonde explained.

“You wanted to be my friend?” Harry asked in mild surprise.

Draco chuckled. “I’ve always wanted to be your friend, Harry. Maybe not for the right reasons at first, but later on I really did just want to be your friend.” He answered.

“Let’s go back to sleep though, Harry. Madam Pomfrey said you need to rest.” Draco said caringly.

----

A few hours later, Harry woke up, trembling from a nightmare in which he stared at his dead baby boy, Ron's maniacal laughter in the background.

Eyes still held tightly shut, face pressed deeply into the sterile pillow, Harry began crying. He groped blindly for his comfort, for Draco, only to start panicking when his fingers found empty space beside him. ‘I knew it. I knew it wasn't real. This is just one huge prank on the 'Boy-Who-Bloody-Lived', a sense of Slytherin duty.’ He thought as he choked on his increasing tears.

“It's not like anyone would want to be with someone so tainted.” Harry said aloud, voice muffled by the pillow.

Draco walked out of the bathroom a moment later with wet hair and fresh robes on.

“Harry, what happened?” He asked as he rushed to his side.

“You left. You don’t care about me at all.” Harry sobbed into his pillow. He felt the bed dip under Draco's weight and a hand start to comfortingly rub his back.

“I do care about you, Harry. I had to get ready for class. I was hoping I’d be back in here before you woke up. I’m sorry I didn’t wake you first.” Draco said sweetly.

Harry turned his head so his mouth wasn’t covered. “Do you have to go to class?” He asked with a sniffle.

“I’m sorry I have to go. I’ll come back as soon as my last class is over though, sooner if I can manage.” Draco said softly.

“Ok.” Harry said as he sat up and put his glasses on. “How long before you have to go?”

“I have a little while yet.” Draco replied. “Madam Pomfrey went to make sure breakfast gets sent up here for us, well you anyway. She’ll be back in a minute. Then she wants to check you over again.”

Harry nodded dejectedly and brought his knees up to his chest. As he wrapped his arms around his legs and moved to rest his chin there, a popping sound filled the room, startling him enough that his knees bumped his chin and he bit his tongue.

“Dobby has heard of the terrible things that were done to Master Harry Potter sir!” The small house elf squeaked as he set the tray full of food he was carrying on the bedside table. “Dobby thought Harry Potter’s Wheezy cared about him. Is there anything Dobby can do for Harry Potter sir?”

The raven-haired boy didn’t feel like talking, especially to someone that could be as annoying as Dobby.

“Dobby, I think Harry just wants to be left alone right now.” Draco said softly so as not upset anyone.

The house elf ‘eepped’ and spun around at the familiar voice, tripping on his socks and falling on his face as he did so.

“Young Master Malfoy sir, please don’t punish Dobby sir! I is only doing as Headmaster asks.” Dobby said as he quivered on the floor.

The blonde rolled his eyes at the elf’s antics.

“No one is going to punish you, not even if you still belonged to my family.” He said as he pulled the house elf off the floor.

Dobby beamed at him. “Thank you sir!” He squeaked.

Draco nodded. “Harry needs to rest now. I suppose you can come visit him after he’s feeling better.” He said.

“Dobby is hoping Master Harry Potter is getting well soon.” Dobby said and smiled brightly at Harry, who attempted to smile back. Then he disappeared from Draco's hand with a pop.
