“Yeah I remember the spell. But Father claimed it was a family spell. So I doubt you would be able to find the counter. Malfoy’s are notorious for keeping secrets.”
“You never know Malfoy, I may just get lucky. What was it?” Harry was kneeling in front of Draco holding his hands. Trying to remain calm.
“Ater Visum.” The room was quite for a few seconds. Then the world seemed to breathe as Harry almost laughingly said
“I know that spell.”
******************************************************************************
Surprise was written on Malfoy’s face as his sightless eyes widened and mouth dropped open. It hung there for a few seconds before it snapped shut and he glared at where he thought Harry was. It almost looked like the familiar Malfoy from school. And the tone matched.
"That is not funny Potter"
Harry did laugh at that. Maybe there was hope after all.
“I’m serious. I know that spell. It is in one of the books in the Black library.” He got up and started to look through the books he had brought.
“Why were you in the Black library Potter? And why would a Malfoy spell be in a book there?” Questioned Draco, his tone still strong.
“I own the Black Manor now. Sirius left it to me. And…Ha found it… And as much as I can tell a few generations back two Malfoy brothers ended up at odds because their father pick the youngest to be his heir. The older one got really pissed and went renegade and started to publish Malfoy family secrets. He didn’t get very far. Only a handful of books made it out. He died in a mysterious fire. I know at least 5 were made.”
“Laurent and Lucien, my father is named for him. I heard that we paid a king’s ransom to get them all back. So how is it that the Blacks ended up with a copy?” Malfoy had moved so his legs were hanging off the bed. Harry didn’t look up as he scanned the pages looking for the right spell.
“It was a proposal gift to Hydra.”
“Hydra!!! And how would you know that Potter?”
“There was a letter in it. Ok I think I found the counter. But while the curse is intent the counter can take up to 26 hours to work.”
“Really? No Malfoy would make it that easy to find?” Draco meant it to be condescending, but Harry could still pick up the hope in it.
“No really. Laurent made it very easy. On one page is the spell and a description of what it’s for and how to perform it. And on the next is its counter. It’s really quite good actually.”
“Well then what are you waiting for? Do the spell?”
Harry looked up about to answer and caught sight of Draco. He was sitting on the side of the bed, his long legs a little thin looked even longer with him wearing boxers, and the over sized tee-shirt was hanging off of his left shoulder making him look almost sexy. Almost being the key word there again. He needed more meat on his bones, and that come hither smirk of his. Then he would look sinfully attractive.
“Potter?...” the confusion was clear in Draco’s voice. Why hadn’t he answered. Did he not intended to do the spell? Would he leave him like this? At his mercy?
“Potter?” his voice was a little softer, did he tell him everything just to be cruel. To use him like THEY did.
“Pot…Potter?” Draco was shaking and on the verge of tears when Harry finally snapped out of his musings. He still didn’t answer he just preformed the counter spell.
“ Expletus Visum.”
As soon as the spell hit Draco he felt light headed and his eyes started to burn just slightly. Like when you’re really tired and the edges feel to dry no matter how many times you blink.
Harry was by his side to steady him and after a moment the dizziness faded.
“You alright there Malfoy?”
“…Yeah.” His voice was once again soft and timid. His head tilted down
“Malfoy, what’s wrong?” when Harry didn’t get any answer he moved so that he was once again kneeling in front of Draco.
Malfoy felt the shift and turned his head away. Even if he could not see Potter in front of him, he didn’t’ him to see the tears he knew were about to fall. Just the right words would crush him.
“Malfoy?....Did you think I wasn’t going to cast the spell? That I would leave you blind?” Harry moved his hand up to turn Draco’s face back to him and Draco broke. Nodding his head and sobbing he brought his hands up to cover his face.
Harry was shocked for all of 2 seconds before moving to envelop Draco in his arms. Like he had always craved when he was upset. Malfoy stiffened for just a moment, and then leaned into Harry. It had been a long time since he felt cared for. And right at that moment, cared for was exactly what he felt. Even if it was only Potter, it was enough.
They stayed like that for what seemed like hours but really was only about 30 minutes. It was Draco who pulled away first. Wiping his eyes dry with the bottom of his shirt, his head still down. And Harry very wisely decided not to comment.
“It’s nearly midnight Malfoy, we should get some sleep.” Draco just nodded, then seemed to hesitate.
“Where?” His voice was just scarcely a whisper but managed to reach Harry’s ears.
“On the bed Silly. It’s big enough for the both of us to sleep sprawled out and still not touch.” Commented Harry as he put the Malfoy spell book away. Then a thought accrued to him.
“But if you’d rather we didn’t share the bed then I can find someplace else to sleep.”
“……”
“Malfoy?” Malfoy looked a little lost and seemed to be thinking.
“You…You don’t mind sharing a bed with me?” his voice was so very unsure and timid. In other cases Harry may have found it endearing.
“Not if you don’t.”
“….O…Ok….What side do you want then?”
“Just move over toward the wall, I’ll sleep on the edge. That way you can’t fall out of bed.”
Draco did as he was instructed and Harry climbed in after him. He used his wand to turn off all the lights and set an alarm for 6 am.
Harry had his back to Draco and was just about asleep when he felt him move, shifting the bed. Must have been one thing they skipped on. Good mattresses. You could feel every move the other person made. He was just about asleep again when Malfoy moved again. They repeated this pattern until Harry felt a very timid hand on the back of his shirt. At first he didn’t know what to do, should he ignore it or not?
Harry decided not to, so he rolled onto his back. Malfoy snatched his hand back as if it had been burned.
“I’m sorry.” The whisper was so soft that if there had been any more noise in the room Harry would have missed it.
“For what?” Harry’s was just as soft.
“Waking you.”
“I’ve been awake.”
“…Oh…”
“Did you need something Malfoy?”
“….I need to use the restroom.”
“Ok.” Harry rolled out of bed and helped Draco up as well. He took him to the bathroom much the same way as he did earlier. With much the same result in having to carry him back because he was too weak. Soon they were both back in bed, but this time Draco remained closer to Harry.
“Thank you.” Was the last thing Harry heard before he finally got to sleep.
***************
It was till dark out when Harry was suddenly awake. He knew he couldn’t have been asleep long from how tired he still felt. And he didn’t know what had woke him up. He almost thought it had something to do with Voldemort when he heard a noise. A whimper really.
He rolled over and found Draco with his back to him curled up in a ball. He seemed to be having a nightmare. Moving closer to him Harry gently shook him.
“Malfoy…Malfoy wake up…You’re safe now, come on wake up.” Draco woke with a start and stilled. “Malfoy?”
“Po..Potter?” Draco’s voice cracked as if he had been screaming for too long.
“Yeah, it’s me. You ok?”
“…..” Harry really didn’t like the silence. He really didn’t know what to do to help. So he just slowly moved closer to Draco and wrapped an arm around his waist, trying to comfort him.
Draco didn’t dare move. What if all Harry wanted was to…NONONO he was not like that. He promised he would keep him safe. He PROMISED.
So did your father, a small voice reminded him at the back of his head.
“Is…is this ok Malfoy? Do you want me to let go?” Harry’s voice was unsure and quiet. It helped calm Draco’s racing hear and still his thoughts.
“…Ye…Yes.”
“Yes let go?” questioned Harry as he pulled his arm away and laid on his back.
Draco turned so he was facing Harry. He wished he could see what Harry was thinking. Draco could always tell what the boy was thinking. Every thought crossed his face as it entered his mind. But now he had nothing to go on. Just hope that he wouldn’t be hurt.
Draco shifted closer to Harry painfully slow. He was waiting for Potter to do…anything. When he had shifted close enough to be touching him, he moved even slower to get as close as possible. He curled up and laid his head on Potters arm softly, gently, waiting for him to get disgusted and jerk away. But he didn’t. once he had gotten halfway comfortable, Harry slowly lifted his arm. And for a second Malfoy thought he had made a mistake, but then Harry’s arm wrapped its self around him and pulled him closer so that his head was resting on Harry’s chest as he had been this afternoon.
“Is…Is this ok?” Draco asked shyly.
“Yeah, it is.”
“I…I think I need this.”
“Need what?” Harry’s curiosity was really peeked now
“To feel….”Draco’s voice die softly, to afraid to finish.
“Safe?”asked Harry. Draco only nodded and turned his head into Harry’s chest
“Everyone does. And never be afraid to ask for something you need. Ok?”
Draco just shrugged.
“You don’t believe me? Well then go on ask me.” The silence stretched on until Harry was almost sure Malfoy had fallen back to sleep when his quiet request reached his ears.
“Will you, will you sing to me?”
Harry just tightened his hold on him and began to see the first song that came to mind.
“I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go”
By the time the song was done Draco had fallen back to sleep. Harry soon followed. It was going to be a long day tomorrow. Hell it was going to be a long vacation.
A/N ok so this is the last of the chapters that I had all ready. I also made some minor changes in the last chapter. Just reworded some things. So I’m working on the next chapter but it may (and probability will) take me longer to finish and get it posted. My goal is to do as least one per week. Hopefully more. But I make no promises. Oh and the song is ‘I need some sleep’ by the Eels.
Bloodsoakedninja: thank you so much. and can’t you just see him as a little kitten. Looking all confused and twitchy. Or glaring with his hair on end and hissing up a fit….yep… =^_^=
Tachimaru: Ha you guessed that one wrong. Lol just kidding. No I felt this way was better. It would have been too easy for me to use that. And besides this way it shows that not all Malfoy’s fall in line and do what the family wants. It will come up again. I have plans. Hehehe
Layne: I’m so very glad you love it. Hope this chapter didn’t disappoint. I am so very happy, this time around I’m getting more reviews and hits then the first time I posted. so thank you so much.
And to the Rest, I really hope your all enjoying it. Please comment. I work at a very stressful job and for the past two days on my lunch I see how many more hits and comments I have. It has been one of the few reasons I have made it out with my sanity. So thank you so very much.
