Draco slowly peeled his eyes opened, his head pounding from a migraine. He thought back on what happened, and where he was- when it hit him.

"Harry..." he whispered.

His eyes widened in realization as he shot up in the hospital bed, his eyes burning slightly from the light shining through the large windows.

He looked around him. He was in the hospital wing. He remembered why he was there. He... remembered. Harry.

Draco jumped out of the hospital bed, ignoring the pain that shot through his head.
He rushed towards Miss Pomfrey, who was assisting someone who seemed to have a flu.

"Draco! What are you doing up?!" She gasped when she saw him making a break towards the door.

"I need... I need to see Harry." He explained quickly

His vision was slightly blurry but he ignored it, he was set on finding Harry. And he'd get his way. He needed to see him. It was important... extremely important.

"You can't be up! You've just gained all your memories back-"

"Either you tell me where he is and let me go or I go on my own and take forever in finding him. I'll be here sooner if you choose the first."

Madame Pomfrey sighed, "fine. He went to eat and take a shower. Don't be long, Mr. Malfoy. You have some healing to do." She said sternly.

He nodded and thanked her as he rushed out of the hospital wing, his mind set on finding Harry.

People gave him surprised looks as he rushed down the corridors but he didn't care. He needed to find Harry.
He checked every bathroom after he checked the dining hall. He went down every corridor before catching glimpse of a messy mop of black hair - one which he could recognize from anywhere.

"Harry!" Draco cried out, rushing towards him.

Harry froze when he heard the familiar voice, but turned around just in time for the blond to run into him and wrap his arms around Harry's neck as he dug his face into his shoulder.

Harry stumbled back a bit at the sudden impact, but took no time in wrapping his arms around Draco's lower back, and pushing his face into Draco's hair.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Draco sobbed into Harry's shoulder, "I'm so sorry."

"Hey, hey, it isn't your fault." Harry's voice cracked.

Happiness overwhelmed him when he processed what was happening.
Draco remembered.
He remembers Harry.

Harry cupped the back of the blonds head, as if he were going to lose him again. He was so happy, yet so scared. What if he lost him again? He couldn't bare the thought. He shivered.

Draco pulled apart from the hug and looked Harry in the eyes.

"Oh Merlin..." tears streaked Draco's face. "I'm so sorry. I put you through... so much pain..." memories of Harry's torn arms pushed themselves into Draco's mind.

Draco cupped Harry's cheek with his left hand, his right hand still gripping onto Harry's shoulder.
Harry lifted his own hand to hold Draco's, "it's fine. It's okay now. Look, you're okay. You remember." Harry laughed softly, tears falling down his own cheeks. "You remember."

"You remember now. You're okay. I'm okay... we're okay." Harry pressed his forehead against Draco's and closed his eyes, "we're okay."

Draco also closed his eyes as well, savoring the moment shared between them. He knew, in the back of his mind, that their good luck wouldn't last.
He knew he still had that contract.

"Draco?"

"Hmm?" Draco hummed, opening his eyes to see Harry's brilliant green ones staring back at him.

"Can I kiss you?" Harry asked.

Draco's heart fluttered as a smile broke onto each of the boys lips, "of course."

Harry took no time in pressing his lips against Draco's.
He felt pure bliss. He felt like nothing else mattered. He had his boyfriend back... he had Draco back... his Draco... and he currently couldn't be happier.

That is, until he heard an annoyed cough that sounded from beside them.

They pulled apart and snapped their gaze towards the person, each of their hearts sinking when they saw who it was.

Astoria Greengrasse.

"What do you want?" Harry snapped, his voice quivering in anger, "what could you possibly want now?" His jaw clenched and his fists tightened into balls. He was so bloody angry.

"Well, you see, the thing is-"

"I should hex you right here and now." Draco snarled. "Oh, and I would."

"But you don't have your wand now, do you?" Astoria smirked and pulled out her own wand, "unlike me."

Draco's and Harry's hearts sank, and their expressions altered, but they quickly regained their posture, "and what? You're going to hex us? Obliviate us? Do it. I dare you." Harry challenged, yet he pushed Draco slightly behind him, as if protecting him.

Although, Draco was so angry he barely realized it.

Astoria was taken back by this, but she stood her ground, "I will!"

"No, you won't." A new voice.

The Three of them directed their gaze to Dumbledore, who was standing in the middle of the corridor, watching; his hands linked behind his back.

"H- headmaster!" Astoria squeaked, "I- I..."

"Astoria Greengrasse, you are now banned from your wand until I see fit to return it. Hand it over." Dumbledore demanded.

"But- but- you can't do that! They threatened me!" She defended, clutching her wand to her chest, her eyes watering.

"I'm afraid they did not. And they now have eyewitness proof that you helped Lucius Malfoy Obliviate Draco Malfoy. Now, hand over your wand."

"That's not fair!" Astoria yelled, stomping her foot down like an infant, "that's not fair at all!"

"I'm afraid it is. Wand, please."

Her face turned as red as a beet, but she reluctantly handed over her wand, "I can't believe this! I'm telling my mother!" She screamed, before storming off.

Dumbledore watched her leave, afterwards turning back to Draco and harry.

"As for you two," his sternness quickly turned to one of worry, "I'm afraid I can't do anything for the marriage contract. But I will give you two a suggestion," He explained, "finish this year of school, and runaway." He said seriously.

Draco and Harry exchanged glances, before turning them back to Dumbledore, "runaway...? But... sir..." Harry trailed off.

"Think about it. With each of your fortune, you two could travel wherever you want... and not get caught."

"They'll recognize us. Do you really think that no one would recognize Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy?" Harry asked, "I'm sure it would raise some suspicion."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled, reminding Harry of his Dumbledore. And for a moment, he forgot that he was dead.

"Travel through the muggle world."

Harry broke out into a grin and turned to Draco, "what about it?"

Draco looked uneasy, "Harry... I've never set food into the muggle world... and I can't leave my mother-"

"Your mother will be taken care of, Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore promised, "we have track of your father now, it's only a matter of time before he's captured. I'm sure your mother would understand. By the time you come back, I'm sure Astoria would of moved on, and the contract would no longer come to count. While you two are off, Professor McGonagall and I will do our best to break the contract, and we'll get in contact as soon as we do." Dumbledore promised.

This time Draco grinned, "How about it, then?"

"It's perfect."

Dumbledore nodded down at them, "very well, I think you deserve these back." He handed them each their wands, "now, I suggest you get back to bed, Draco. Madame Pomfrey won't accept your absence much longer. As for you, Harry, keep a close eye on him. I don't trust that Astoria girl, I'm sure she hasn't given up just quite yet." He explained as he turned around and began to walk away.

Harry ran after Dumbledore, "Wait! Sir," He called.

Dumbledore turned around, and Harry instantly wrapped his arms around him, "thank you."
