Twins: A Different Life

63

The first thing Harry became aware of was that his head hurt. He couldn't remember what happened, but he was obviously in his bed and for the life of him he couldn't work out how he got here with a killer headache to boot. He didn't get ill because of his phoenix, and with that thought he felt it awaken and his head eased in to nothing and he sighed in relief. Now he just had to work out how he got in to this position in the first place and then he would be set, he remembered waiting to see if there was a chance the Draco would turn up, but when he didn't it had felt like someone had kicked him so he ran off to his lab to brew away his problems and the rest was blank for him. He released a groan and heard someone move next to him, so someone was in his room which was odd because his dad usually left him to it in his own 'domain' as he called it. Harry blinked a few times squinting a bit at the light before his vision was taken over by a familiar blond head.

"Harry!"

Harry blinked a few times,

"Huh,"

"You complete idiot, why did you go and get yourself blasted in to a wall for?" Draco snapped and Harry blinked again, so he had had a potions accident. That in itself was weird because he had never been unable to raise a shield before, Harrison frowned but another question was more important.

"What are you doing here?" He asked his friend who he was pretty sure hated him, his throat was pretty dry so he snapped his fingers and Kip popped in with a drink. Draco shifted slightly before sighing.

"Well you had an accident," He said, "I can go if-."

"NO!" Harry cut him of hastily, "Don't go, I just thought you hated me."

"I don't hate you idiot, I was just mad at you for not telling me." Draco looked down.

"I know, I know I should have told you, and I'm sorry." Harry said imploringly. Draco nodded.

"Just- just don't keep something like that from me again," Draco warned him. Harry beamed and bodily threw himself at him in a crushing hug.

"Draco needs to breathe Harrison," Sirius commented from the doorway looking at the pair amused, Harry stepped back sheepishly as Draco grinned at him.

"Breakfast's ready, if your interested." Sirius told them and Harry lit up.

"Food, yes please, it feels as if I haven't eaten in a week."

"That's because you haven't eaten in a week," Sirius chided and Harry shifted under the two glares.

"So food is a good option?" He said lightly.

"Come on, prat. I leave you for one week and you can't even function, honestly," Draco dragged him off and Harry clicked his fingers so his robes wrapped around him as they ran down to the dining room.

"You know, you are going to teach me how you do that." Draco said to him and Harry grinned.

"Of course,"

"So what have you been doing?"

"Working, went to the castle and Sal thought it would be nice to demand a formula for an idea I came up with while I was speaking to Marvolo in three months." Harry rolled his eyes and Draco looked at him in open incredulity.

"Sal as in Salazar Slytherin?"

"Yes, he was the one who taught me everything I know about potions, parsel, dark arts and mind magics." Harry answered, "He also taught me Archery."

"I can't get my head around it, you grew up with the Founders." Draco shook his head and Harry grinned.

"I can introduce you to Sal if you want, he's at the castle and is always popping up for conversation."
