Draco's hands trembled. He was back in the common room now; thankfully everyone was still in the Great Hall eating dinner. If anyone saw him like this he was sure to get pummeled to death. He had just barely left Potter's death glare before he lost his composure.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC028Sa3syU

He had just denied Harry Potter's friendship, the friendship he so desperately wanted as a first year. The one he had always wanted ever since he realized Harry Potter and him were the same age. At first he only wanted it as a sign of power, but as he grew as a child, he did truly want to say Harry Potter was his friend. And then it was in his grasp and he threw it all away.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pf8OaU9N7

He could still see the slight hurt in Potter's eyes after he shoved his friendship aside; he briefly wondered if that's how he looked when Potter had rejected his handshake. "Oh well. I see," was all Potter could mutter out before catching his breath and saying, "Wouldn't want to be with the wrong crowd then?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ41z5kX7t

Then Draco had the audacity to say, "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks." He hated himself for repeating the same words Potter had told him all those years ago, because now Potter knew. He knew how that sentence had offended him and how it had left a burn in his mind for all the years to come.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrO7FGPrOV

He clutched his hands tightly. They were numb now. He was losing feeling in his whole body. Now that he thought about it, besides that bit of bread earlier, he couldn't remember the last time he ate.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37fJ5ksKRP

Draco squeezed his hands, he knew he should feel something but yet there wasn't anything. He took deep breaths trying to sort out his thoughts. Maybe, he decided bitterly, this means Potter will go back to actually speaking to him, even if that does mean in insults.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf7KoCNB5M

His breathing was beginning to even out, which he thought at first was a good sign, but then he realized that it was because he was not breathing. His vision darkened and he stumbled over to the couch.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJz34Dxe8E

He could not pass out here, he could only imagine the horror he'd succumbed to, left vulnerable in the common room for any 8th year to touch. It wasn't safe, but his legs were definitely too weak to drag himself all the way back to the Room of Requirement and he was too weak to even climb to his bed. Then another awful thought struck him, the nightmares were about to come. He had been doing well not sleeping. If you don't sleep, you don't have the nightmares, he realized. But, now, he didn't have a choice.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4tntuCiyp

He tried to fight the darkness as best he could, but he couldn't. He was falling deeper and deeper into it. He could only hope Goyle would be the first to find him.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7r81ctKC3

The rumors all ceased as Harry climbed down the stairs and into the common room with Ron closely behind. This wasn't an unusual occurrence. People tended to stop and stare at him even more now, they saw it was a sign of respect, but Harry hated it.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcEAdkJwav

"What happened to Malfoy?" Harry couldn't stop himself from asking. He must admit he was still bitter over the afternoon before, him tossing his friendship aside and all. But, he was impressed that he bothered to bring up his first year comment on friendship.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8FzBZw3hx

"He's in a coma," a 5th year quipped. "Yeah, beat up by his own house," another girl that was in year 7 added. "Suppose he'll leave Hogwarts now, I mean this just proves what we all already knew. No one wants him here."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyhCkK8fUV

A large round of laughter chorused through the Gryffindor common room at the 5th year's comment, but Harry was one of the few that didn't break a smile. He pushed through the crowd to leave the suffocating room. His head was abuzz. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes briefly to think.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowOwBCnbov

"He'll be alright, Harry," Hermione's voice startled him and he jumped. "I honestly don't care about Malfoy." Hermione gave him a glance and Harry craned his head to see they were alone; Ron must've stayed inside to continue the jokes about Malfoy. "I see how you look at the Slytherin table every day, Harry. Trust me, I know."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGOE1KjSgo

Harry rolled his eyes. "Well you must be blind, because I don't know what look you're seeing. It's a glare, I'm practicing. It got a bit offensive using a mirror so I decided to use someone who actually deserved it. Only he tends to not show up at meal time anymore." Hermione sighed but fortunately let it go.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OnPT8QUN2

"He didn't get beat up too bad, a couple of 8th years got him, but they didn't put him in a coma. Goyle, I guess, stopped them before they did more than give him a black eye and a fractured rib. He had passed out because he wasn't eating. He'll be awake in a day or two as soon as Madam Pomfrey gets him enough nutritions."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTtoe3ggCE

"That's good." Harry pinched the bridge of his nose trying not to think about the fire currently running through his veins. He wanted the names of the 8th years that decided to attack someone so vulnerable. It wasn't because it was Malfoy, he told himself, but rather because it was a sick thing to do—beat someone up while they're passed out.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVAjix3zRa

"He's cleared for visits. If you want to go, I'll go with you. Ron won't want to, but I don't mind." Hermione gave a kind smile, but Harry only scoffed. "I don't feel like seeing a passed out ferret thank you very much." Hermione shook her head, but decided it best not to argue; besides there were other, more important, matters on her mind.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lsuFAP7DF

"Do you want to go for a walk?" She asked. Harry was hesitant, worried that Hermione only wanted to use this as an opportunity to further bombard him with comments about Malfoy. However, when he saw the look on her face, he got a feeling this was about something else entirely.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dmDSevbfZ

The air was beginning to become chilly and there was soft dew in the grass from the early morning. Hermione and Harry trudged through the lawn near the lake in silence, Harry waiting and Hermione thinking. Harry had just noticed something move in the water when Hermione decided to open her mouth.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hcubz7DVE

"I've been keeping something from you Harry.." Her voice was soft and in a subconscious move they both stopped to stare at each other. "Not just me though, Ron too. I guess I was embarrassed, I don't know. Scared maybe? I've been thinking about it a lot but I still can't place my emotions. I kept waiting to tell you, because I thought by the time I told you I would have had a plan, but I don't have one and I really am not sure what I am going to do."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4LksFSnCU

Her eyes were misty and Harry placed two hands on her arms hoping to comfort her. "Shh, 'mione, you're rambling. Just tell me what it is." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes before mumbling something incoherent.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCastrfq6OY
