"Pansy! For flips sake stop running away from me!" Theo yelled, out of breath.
"Fuck off, please" Pansy exasperated, running her fingers through her loose hair and tugging sharply at the strands.
"What's going on? Stop pushing everyone away!" Theo said, bending over from a stitch.

Pansy tried to get away, walking fast away. But Theo was faster and grabbed her wrist tightly and stopped her getting away.
"Tell me what's wrong please I'm worried" He begged, looking into her eyes.
"I can't! I can't! You don't understand" She said frustrated, eyes glassy.

Theo was quiet for a second before saying "Then help me understand"

Pansy shook her head and swallowed hard.
"I can't. I can't." She said so soft he could barely hear her.
"You can tell me anything. Anything."
She shook her head again and dropped her head almost in shame.
"Not this"
"Is this to do with you know who?" Theo asked hesitantly.
Immediately after he asked her shoulders tensed and her jaw tightened.

After a defending silence she looked up. She finally broke.
"They're going to kill my family if I don't, you don't understand. I don't have a choice. They're going to kill my  family! Do you think I want this!" She said, terror flashing in her eyes. Her voice was shaking as were her hands.

Harry opened his eyes, then winced as bright sunlight glared in through a window straight into his eyes. (Ha straight).
Squinting he sat up and felt around for his glasses, then frowned when he found one arm was in a sling.
"Here, I've got your glasses" said a voice beside him.
Harry looked beside him and could see a faint outline of Madame Pomfery.
Before he knew it the familiar weight of his glasses was settled on his face again.
"Thank you"
"How are you feeling?" Madame Pomfery asked, looking relieved.
"Um good, great actually"
Then all of a sudden the memories flooded back.
"Is-" He began, suddenly panicking.
"Yes Dracos fine, don't worry I healed him all up"
"You talking about me?" Said a familiar voice that just appeared around the corner.
Harry grinned and felt relief wash through him as he saw Draco.

"Thank fu.. I mean thank our father merlin you're okay" Harry said, after Madam Pomfery gave him a death glare before silently walking off.
Draco laughed, short and sweet, oh how Harry loved that laugh.
"Are you okay?" Draco asked, walking closer.
"Yeah, I think so, are you?"
"Shoulders a bit sore, but I'm alive thanks to you" Said Draco, smiling at Harry.
"Hey you know me saviour of the world and all" Harry teased.
Draco laughed and then sat down in the chair beside Harry's bed, reaching out to hold Harry hand.
Harry's mouth twitched into a smile, he looked down at their hands, then back up and said "you know that's pretty gay"
"Jokes on you I am pretty gay"
"Wait really? I didn't notice" Harry sassed.
"You should know you're pretty gay yourself" Draco said, grinning.
Harry looked at Draco for a second then shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah can't deny that"

---------------------------------------------------------

It was an hour later that Harry and Draco walked out of the hospital wing, Harry's arm still in a sling.
When they had walked down to the dungeons Theodore Nott ran headfirst into Draco, knocking them both to the ground.
"Ah sorry, I didn't mean to..wait Draco..." He looked around panicked "I need to talk to you" He then whispered harshly.
Draco quirked an eyebrow "is everything okay?"
Theo looked around once more, stood up and brushed himself off. He shook his head and then whispered again.
"Need to talk now. Please"
Draco looked concerned and nodded his head.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked, watching the strange interaction from a few feet away.
"I've got to go, I'll be back for dinner" Draco said.
Then he walked forward and gave a sweet peck on Harry's cheek before giving his attention to Theo, who was nervously fiddling with his tie.
"Okay stay safe!" Harry called after them before walking into the common room.

"Oh hey Harry, so you're okay after all?" Pansy asked, lounging on a sofa and painting her nails.
"Apparently so, well can't really love my arm but who needs arms anyways"
"Well I'm sure Draco would disagree if you didn't have both hands" Pansy said hinting.
She got up and walked nearly past Harry before adding.
"And I for one would like both your hands too, you know what for golden boy"
Harry frowned, what was she implying.
"Anyways I've got to go, be back later, if you want to test that out" she said, winking then strutting out.
Harry rubbed his neck, was pansy hitting on him?

----------------------------------------------------------

5:15 pm. Harry was sitting on his bed, catching up on work when the dormentory door opened.
He looked up and felt his heart warm to the sight, Draco.
"Oh hi, I thought you would be longer" Harry said, pushing his books away.
"Oh...um turns out otherwise" Draco replied a little unsure.
Draco stood a bit awkwardly, as if contemplating that he should sit down.
"Come sit down, honestly you've never been scared to sit down before, are you okay?"
With an unsure walk Draco sat hesitantly beside Harry.
"I..uh..we need to talk"
Harry Immediately tensed.
"Has this got to do with what Theo wanted to talk to you about?" He asked, now serious.
Draco blinked twice and looked confused but there was also a glint of anger.
"Um...yeah, look I think we should break up" Draco said suddenly.
Harry stopped breathing for a second.
"But..what? why? We were fine I don't understand" Harry said, desperation creeping into his voice.
"It's just not going to work out" Draco stated, looking directly at Harry as if to gauge his reaction.

Harry could feel his eyes begin to water, that warm happy feeling he got everytime he saw Draco seemed to heat up to the point where it was burning holes in his heart.

"I don't understand. What happened? What did I do wrong?" Harry pleaded.
"I never liked you anyways." Draco stated harshly, looking down at his watch, before getting up and walking out.
Just as he was outside the doorway, he looked back and said "I only used you for the fame"

Then Harry broke, and hot tears were streaming down his face. Dracos words resounded in his head getting louder and louder, until they were all he could hear. Harry pulled his curtains closed and cried, hating the way he could still smell Dracos scent on the pillow he was crying into.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Harry?" A familiar, back stabbing voice called out.
Harry felt anger bubble through him, how dare he.
"Harry are you in there?" Draco called out again.
"Go. Away."
"Are you okay? Listen there's something I need to tell you, it's really important"
"Oh really you have the nerve to come back to me after what you did?!" Harry almost shouted.
"....wait what? I don't understand"
Harry janked open his curtains and then slapped Draco hard across the cheek.
"That's for everything you did, now don't talk to me ever again"
Draco held his cheek in shock more than pain.
"Wait Harry I don't..."
"Don't play that game with me!" Harry yelled, tears streaming down his face again.
"...I..." Draco looked extremely confused, eyes glassy.
"GET OUT!" Harry yelled.
Dracos eyes flashed hurt but he slowly backed away, shoulders drooped and head low.
Let's just say he wasn't in the mood to go to dinner that night.

When Theo finally returned from dinner, Draco pulled him by the wrist and dragged him to a corner.
"We need to tell Harry about what you told me but he won't talk to me."
Theo looked confused, and tilted his head.
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
"What you told me today? ...about Pansy??" Draco tried.
"What about pansy? Honestly I have no idea what you're talking about sorry"

A/N until next time muahahah
