Unexpected Comfort

Harry watched in horror as he saw Dumbledore fall to his death, struck by the Avada Kedavra curse. He wanted to take time to process what just happened, but all his mind was thinking of was revenge. He reached towards his wand, intent on killing all the Death Eaters in the room, but what stopped him was not his conscience but Malfoy. Malfoy was crumpled on the ground, shaking profusely, his arms wrapped around himself.

Snape pulled at Malfoy’s arm, trying to get him to leave the room but to no avail. Snape shook his head, said a few words to the other Death Eaters that Harry couldn’t catch, and left the room, the other Death Eaters in tow. Malfoy remained on the floor, crying softly.

Harry didn’t know what to do. One part of him wanted to kill Malfoy, he was after all a Death Eater who planned to kill the only father-figure he had left in his life, but the other part wanted to comfort Malfoy. “Wait, comfort him?” Harry asked himself. “Where the hell did that come from?” He looked over again at Malfoy and that reconfirmed his thoughts of comfort. Pulling off his invisibility cloak, he started to walk over to Malfoy.

Malfoy didn’t notice that there was another presence in the room until he felt a hand rest softly on his shoulder. He flinched and pushed the hand away, looking up at the person who had touched him. Noticing that it was Harry, he looked back down at the ground and said quietly, “Just kill me now, Potter.” He didn’t really want to live anyways, he didn’t deserve to. He closed his eyes, waiting for the end. But what he felt instead was Harry placing his arms around him and hugging him gently. Malfoy relaxed in Harry’s grasp, unexpectedly feeling safe and comforted. He grasped onto Harry’s cloak and placed his head on Harry’s chest. Malfoy began to sob into Harry, all his pain and grief coming to the surface. “I’m sorry….” He choked out, “I-I’m s-so sorry.”

“It’s okay,” Harry whispered, rubbing Malfoy’s back. “I’m here.”

Author’s Notes:

So what did you think? I thought this just had to be written, I felt so bad for Malfoy at this part of the novel I thought he needed to be comforted. And who better but Harry? So should I leave this a one shot or let it go a little farther? Spunky 87
