it’s just roells himself. he a frieher aross the gap between their beds. ron exhales hard, making his bright red fringe—whih is in serious rim—flop out of his eyes.
& y to help malfoy,” ron says, “but you’re too ied in this.”
“too ied in saving someone’s life?” harry says, astonished.
“that’s the thing. it’s not a matter of saving him. it’s like saying you want to save someone from…what’s that muggle disease hermioold us about?”
“er,” harry sighs.
“right. it’s hing you an fight.”
“so, what? i give up o bak a him waste away to nothing?”
“no, but you just got doing a war, harry. do you really need mrief and suffering in your life?” ron runs a hand through his hair, mussing it. “it would be ohing if your help ould make a differe hanahaki, it’s…trust me, i’ve seen what it an do. you an’t stop it. op it, really.”
harry lets those words sink in, the way ron wahem to have impat, to take up spae in his mihem over and over ahem frle.
op it, ron says. but that’s rue.
one person an, harry thinks.
the day, after ss, he finds drao at their usual spot by the ke. the su dyes the water gold, ale’s refletion juts darkly through its molten shine.
drao lies on his stomah, a book propped open in front of him as he srawls notes on a piee of parhment lined from being folded and refolded ehat’s the sheet drao uses when he fihing promisihat ould really help him, or maybe eveo a ure. most of what’s o has already bee, and today, harry an’t brio believe drao is brilliao turhese slivers of hope into a solution. ron’s w in his head.
he drops down onto the grass beside drao, who looks up with a smirk, the kind that used to rile harry up but was undeniably ha aher ount. it loses its impat when his fae is so gaunt. lying dowhe loose hang of his robes less obvious, but he’s l amou. harry wonders if drao might h before the disease ever gets around to killing him.
“what’s wro get to sign any autographs today?” drao shout heat.
“i heard you’re thinking of gh with it,” harry says. “the operation, i mean.”
the news had beehe great hall; harry ouldn’t miss it, h his friends doio maintain a malfoy-free bubble ohe gryffindor table.
&hing i make it lear to drao how little harry would be able to hai respht no, gio fae him.
“only as a st resort,” drao says. “potter, look at me. i’m dying anyway. i’d rather die tryihan wait for the disease to finish its work.”
&’s gerously lose to a gryffindor se,” harry says weakly.
&.” a hint of a smile tugs at drao’s lips. harry an’t brio smile bak.
“but it’s pratially suiide,” harry says. “the healers— i mean, that’s what everyohe healers told you.”
“there’s no other s his quill in disgust onto the grourying for days, ahing.”
“there is another way,” harry says.
drao frowns at him.
“what? has granger fouhing?”
“no,” says harry. “the person you’re ih. you have to tell them.”
drao’s fae hahe openness harry had beome austomed to, with, vanishes. drao beomes malfoy again, his fae all hard angles, his eyes more steel than silver.
“youer,” he says, enuniating eah word very learly. “i am looking, in ase you’ve fotten, for a solution, not a way to die faster.”
“if you o least you’ll know for sure. maybe they love you bak, or maybe they’re at least willing to try,” harry says, desperately. “if not—i kion will make you siker, but then you ahe operation like you pnned. you’d be han before.”
“oh, it’s that easy, is it?” drao snaps, fae reddening dramatially. “i’m already in pain, so what’s a little more?”
“that’s not what i—”
drao uts him off. his expression has trao wide-eyed horror; something new and awful has evideo him.
“did someone say something to you?” drao demands.
“what?” harry asks, bewildered.
“is that why y me to—?” drao uts himself off. “beause you know who it is a some sort of sik pleasure out of wathing me embarrass myself—”
“how an you think that?” harry asks, trying thteously angry but k sounds wou’s how he feels. “i’ve been trying to help you. i’ve spent all this time—”
“oh, yes, heavens forbid otter’s preious time,” drao sneers. “i didn’t ask you to do this. i didn’t ask for your help. you’re the st person i ever would have goo.”
harry grabs blindly at the strap of his bag and shoots to his feet.
