Wrong Time (Drarry)

8

I sat down in my usual seat, Draco was already there. I laid my head on his shoulder. "You alright?" He asked softly and I shrugged. "No. Liv said hello." He nodded, understanding immediately I didn't want to talk. Hermione frowned, "I'm sorry Harry, I wasn't thinking right." I shrugged, "Don't blame yourself. It's fine." Was all I managed to spit out. Draco piled some food on my plate but I shook my head.

"You've got to eat a little bit okay Scarhead. Just a little, for me." I sighed again, lifting my head off his shoulder and beginning to eat. I picked at my food a little bit. I honestly felt sick to my stomach. After half of the plate I pushed it away. Draco inspected it a bit, "alright, that's good enough. I'm proud of you. Thank you." I nodded just putting my head back on his shoulder.

"Do you want to cancel games tonight? We can go to our dorm and go to sleep?" I shook my head, "no. Nightmares are worse. I'll be okay." He nodded, and started running a hand up and down my back. I'm sure everyone was giving us weird looks but I didn't care, I felt comfortable around Draco.

I stayed like that for the rest of dinner, and if anyone noticed they didn't say anything. Everyone avoided me like the plague when I was like this. I couldn't blame them, I snapped and got irrational. "Let's go back to the common room okay?" I nodded getting up and following Draco close. I grabbed his pinky and he chuckled, "we're friends now Harry, this is easy." He grabbed my hand interlacing our fingers. I blushed slightly and looked around. I couldn't possibly be blushing over Draco holding my hand right now.

Ron held my hand all the time and it was no big deal. Why did this matter so much to me? I shook it off swinging our arms. He smiled brightly at me and I felt like I was going to faint for a second. I shook it off again, dammit Harry stop. You're not into Malfoy. Just emotionally unstable. I sighed, turning my head to Hermione. She was smiling at me and I glared, "stop it." I whispered and she laughed, "it's cute, no matter what it is. You guys being friends is cute. Also I really am sorry." I nodded, "it's fine, really Mione. You've said worse." I teased, winking at her. She rolled her eyes playfully, swatting at my arm. "Oh you love me." I nodded, "of course I do."

"You still love your husband right?!" Ron said in a panicked tone. I chuckled at my best mate, "of course Ron my love, how could I not love you?" He smiled like a dork, shrugging. "I don't know, I'm pretty lovable." We all laughed, and Draco nudged my shoulder. "Feeling better now?" He whispered quiet enough so no one else heard. "Yes, thank you." He just shrugged, "what are friends for?" I blushed, smiling at him. Ignoring the looks Ron, Ginny, and Hermione we're giving me. They're very annoying.

We all sat in a circle talking for a little. I had Draco and Ron on either side of mine and I was holding both of their hands. Apparently I had to fairly love my husband and my newfound bestfriend. They were bickering about who I loved more before I just grabbed both of their hands. We had been talking for a little about muggle games.

"Muggle games actually sound fun!" Neville exclaimed and I shrugged, "most of them are. I haven't played many but when my cousin Dudley wasn't being a total prick to me he'd play with me sometimes. He'd throw a temper tantrum if I didn't let him with though and get me locked up." Fuck Harry stop over sharing your trauma. You idiot. I mentally cursed myself as I felt both hands in mine clench. "Excuse me? Lock you up?" Draco spat. "I hate those filthy muggles." Ron said at the same time.

"Your girlfriends a muggle born...?" Pansy questioned towards Ron. He laughed, "I don't mean all muggles. Just Harry's." She nodded her mouth forming a silent oh. "Draco please loosen the death grip on my hand. When I did anything they didn't like they locked me in my cupboard. I lived in it until I was nearly eleven. That's all I want to say on the matter." Draco loosened his grip but he was still very visibly pissed off, now along with everyone else.

"I'm so sorry Harry.." Blaise said sincerely and I smiled awkwardly. "Guys it's alright. I'm fine. Remus and Sirius have me now, I've always had the Weasleys and Hermione. I used to think I didn't have a family, just because my parents were dead.. but I have the best family anyone could ever hope for. Now, let's play some fucking games!"

Everyone chuckled, except Hermione who scolded me for my language. I just smiled cheekily at her. We spent the rest of the night playing games and laughing. It was the most peaceful I'd felt at hogwarts in awhile. Eventually the fun died down, as people exited slowly back to their dorms. Me and Draco walked back to our dorms. "Thank you for earlier." I said softly as we laid in our respective beds. "You don't need to thank me again Potter. We're friends now, and I am here for you." I just smiled. "Goodnight Dray." He smiled back, "goodnight Potter."
