Chapter 41
Draco's POV
-00-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Over the Halloween break, I stayed by Harry whenever he went out so that no one would hurt him. He's been getting glared at over the past weeks, having notes thrown at him in class, receiving death threats, hell, I got detention one day because someone threatened to hurt Harry and I punched him in the face. But the question is, did I care? No, because he didn't go after Harry again.
He's been trying to tell me he's fine, but he's not. He has break downs and panick attacks whenever he even thinks about the Tournament, let alone whenever someone talks about it. He cries to me at night because he's so stressed, and all I can do is just hold him and try to calm him down. I feel awful.
He only sleeps when he's in my arms, in a position that he likes. He tells me that he wants to make sure I won't leave. I just let him do what he likes so that he can sleep without nightmares. Did I mention he's getting nightmares? Quite a few, actually. They all have to do with Voldemort and these other people.
He only eats a little, saying he's not hungry. I have to beg him to eat, and I have to sneak food from the kitchens and back to our dorm. I try not to cry, but I just couldn't tonight.
"Harry, I brought you food." I called as I walked in with chicken and pumpkin juice. I saw him, with circles under his eyes and skinny.
"I'm not hungry." He said, and I put the food down.
"Please, Harry just a little bit. For me?" I begged.
"Draco, I'm really not hungry." He said sternly.
I couldn't take it. A tear went down my face. I think he was getting angry with me.
"Please Harry. You have to e-eat. Please," I begged him with my voice cracking.
He turned around to see me with tears down my face. His eyes widened, then they filled with worry. He shot up out of his seat, and rushed over to hug me. I let out a sob.
"Harry, you need to eat. If you don't, you could die. I don't want to loose you. Please just eat for me. You haven't eaten more than a thin piece of chicken in the past day and a half. I'm really worried." I said through tears and gasps. He held on tighter.
"Okay, Draco. I'll eat, okay? I don't want you to cry. I don't like it when you're sad." He said, and I nodded. He grabbed my face in his hands, and picked it up. He continued to wipe tears from my eyes, and he kissed my nose. I smiled.
I released from the hug, and shoved a huge plate of food in his face. He sighed, sat down, and began eating. I smiled and sniffled, going into the bathroom.
Harry's POV

I sat in our dorm in a corner, my knees to my chest and looking out the window. Then the door opened.
"Harry, I brought you food," Draco. I just kept looking at the window.
"I'm not hungry." I told him.
"Please, Harry just a little bit. For me?" He asked.
Why can't he just understand I'm not hungry?
"Draco, I'm really not hungry." I told him, getting a little angry.
However, that changed once I heard Draco.
"Please Harry. You have to e-eat. Please," he said with his voice cracking and softening.
The voice I knew all too well, the one where he is about to cry. I snapped my head over to him, and I saw him with tears down his face, flowing so much that they were dripping off his nose and chin. He lips were wobbling, and he was shaking a little.
I shot up, and rushed over to him, taking him in my arms. He sobbed into my shoulder.
"H-Harry, you (gasp) need (gasp) to eat. If you (gasp) don't, you could d-die. (Gasp) I don't (gasp) want to l-loose you. (Gasp) Please just eat (gasp) for me-e. You haven't (gasp) eaten more than a-a thin (gasp) piece of chicken in (gasp) the past day and a h-half. I'm r-really (gasp) worried." He violently cried into my shoulder. He held onto me tightly, almost as if he let go I would disappear.
"Okay, Draco. I'll eat, okay? I don't want you to cry. I don't like it when you're sad." I told him sincerely. I grabbed his head, and wiped away tears, and kissed his nose, getting a smile from him.
He released from the hug, and put a plate loaded with food up to my neck when I sat down. I sighed, and began eating, getting a sad smile from Draco, before he went to the bathroom.
I don't want him unhappy, god how was I so clueluess?! I should have taken better care of myself. Now look what happened. I got Draco so worried!
I ate faster, but not too fast, thinking about my life. I'm so lucky to have Draco. Without him I'd probably be starving to death. He made sure that I was eating, and sleeping, not getting mad or sassy at me when I needed everything to be a certain way otherwise I'd be scared. He didn't get mad or yell at me when I got angry with him. But why would I get angry with him? Because I've been acting like a jerk.
He didn't get snappy, or raise his voice at me, he didn't ever tell me to stop crying or whining. He just listens.
He came out of the bathroom, without red eyes. I looked over to see him smiling widely when he saw I was 3/4 done with my plate.
I got up, and hugged him.
"Thank you." I whispered as I held him tighter, swaying us around gently.
"You're welcome. It's okay. I know you're stressed about this whole screwed up mess that you're in right now. Just remember I love you, okay?"
My mind instantly went back to the first time he told me that he loved me. I smiled, and nodded.
"I love you too," he smiled, probably remembering the memory also.
I walked backward, little by little, until I got to the bed. I softly sat down, and pulled Draco to me, letting him curl up in my side. It was time for me to be there for Draco, at least tonight.
I held him close, and he wrapped his arms and legs around me. I fell asleep, after Draco, making sure he was okay.
God do I love him. I need to show him that I'm okay. And if that means eating so much that I can't get up, taking sleeping potions to make me sleep, then so be it. I never want him to be in this state again, afraid that I'll drop dead any moment.
I've just gotta figure out what's happening with the first task, and I'll be okay.
----------------------------
This wasn't needed that much, but I just felt like, I don't know, it was also needed at the same time.
I wrote it because it hints in the book that he gets stressed a lot. So I made a chapter out of it.
It's kinda cute so
Yeah
So hey, two updates in a day. Whoop whoop 👌
Next chapter will be better.
