Draco POV

"Draco, PLEASE! We all know something is wrong with Harry. And I know that under that thick black cloud of hate.....you really, really care about him." Granger pleaded. She was right. Harry was off and it definitely was because of that fucker Diggory and the Weaslette. I wanted to hex them into Azkaban and out of existence. No body could EVER believe it but.....I kind of.....fell in love with him. I didn't really think so myself until Pansy told me to think really long and hard about why I always needed to get his attention and why I was always flirting with him blindly and the indirect comments that no one seemed to notice and why my favourite color was emerald green instead of jade green and why she found my drawing book under my bed and it was filled with a familiar scarred forehead and a very detailed drawing of my fictions...I'd rather not say...and my whole obsession! Then she saved me the stress and told me how it is. So far, it was just me and her. But Granger bringing this up had enlightened me through a sly wink that she figured that out too. No doubt, she was smart, but I never expected this. So I gave in. "So what's the plan? I can't just walk in and tell him to feel better. He'll only feel worse."

And then I stopped after realizing what I had said.

Pansy slid me a sly smile and said "Wow Draco...since when did you start caring for Potter?"

I wanted to hex her for a split second, but I realized that she was actually right.

Hermione explained the plan to us and it became very clear what she was doing. She tried to cheer Harry up while getting us together. And scheming with PANSY all along. But I decided that it was a smart plan which I expected nothing less from Granger.

"Harry....." His adorable head jerked up when he heard his name and he looked around the library and finally looked in front of him where I was seated and fell off his chair. I let out a little laugh and he took it the wrong way and responded bitterly "What do you want Malfoy? And why are you calling me by my first name?" I responded calmly "I need to chat with you.....about your situation." I looked at his arms and noticed...Hermione was right! He was cutting himself and the scars were still there....fresh and red...as if they were made today. I took a deep breath and I said "Granger told me the whole story." and as I tried to open up to him, he seemed to open up. "I don't know why they did that to me. I tried so hard to make sure I gave them the best of what they wanted but...it wasn't enough." Harry said and I tried to reply as sensibly and calmly as I could "You don't need to live up to their standards. The only person that should matter is you." I said reassuringly. Then I smiled and said "Tell you what, if you go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow, I'll show you just how much you matter. Deal?" He answered after thinking for a while. "Deal."

"DRAYYYYYYYYYY! WHERE ARE YOU?" Pansy screamed from the hallway. I woke up startled in the library on the couch when I felt a weight clinging on me, moving uncomfortably. I looked down and saw the scarhead I fell in love with. I stared at him for a while and started to notice that he was upset in his dream. I tried to wake him up but he didn't. I shook him but all he did was move uncomfortably and didn't respond. I actually started to worry and I put him on the couch and went to find someone.

As soon as I came out of the room, I met Pansy "Oh there you are. I was going to find a search par-"

"Quick Pansy! It's Potter. He won't wake up from his bad dream even though I tried. Any advice?"

"Uhhhhh okay, try to make him as comfortable as possible, I'll get Granger and Weasley."

"Okay."

Harry's POV

"Sirius! Don't leave me..."

"MURDERER!"

"BLOODY BITCH!"

"USELESS NOBODY!"

I heard these screams from all around me and I looked around to see all the pain that I had somehow caused. I looked down and I saw the dead bodies of Sirius, Fred, Hermione, Ron, and all the people he had grown to love. And then for some reason, I started to feel a sense of comfort. I felt safe and warm and it amazed me.

Pansy's POV

I ran as fast as I could to the Gryffindor common room to find the rest of the Golden Trio. I didn't stop to think, 'Why am I doing this if I hate Potter?' because I never really hated him and I always thought that he would be the perfect little brother. I barged into the room and screamed "HERMIONE! RON! HARRY'S HAVING A NIGHTMARE AND HE WON'T WAKE UP! DRACO AND HARRY ARE IN THE LIBRARY, WE NEED TO GO! NOW!" They exchanged worried looks and sprinted to the library where they saw Harry with a bloodcurdling scream coming out and Draco crying on the armchair. Hermione looked at him with a sense of fear and familiarity.

A.N:

Second chapter! I'm sorry for not updating frequently but online school is way worse than real school. I CAN'T BE NOCTURNAL ANYMOREEEEEEEEE TwT. Bit anyways, I'm sorry for not adding that special train because my little brother found this out and threatened to tell my mom. Oh the lies I told just to make him forget it. I promise to bring the train in the next chapter.
