Chapter Text

Draco Malfoy was ready to quit and go home work has been pain today, his patients were being troublesome and he just couldn’t deal with it right now. He was finally taking his break and shoveling food down his throat, when his wand started buzzing in its holster. He sighed loudly leaving his half eaten dinner on the table sprinting to the front of the hospital.

“Malfoy! Room 2, Auror Potter, unconscious, and bleeding out. He took a curse right to the abdomen and apparently passed out on the spot and no one has been able to wake me. ” Tiffany pushed him into the room as she was filling him in.

Draco stumbled into the room to since a once tanned Potter that was now sickly pale from losing a lot of blood. He was shocked, but didn’t have time for that right now he had to save the savior of the wizarding world. Rolling up the sleeves of his healer robes and taking out if his wand he began to do some diagnostic tests on him. Harry had a couple broken ribs which could be managed easily, he also had a large gash in his abdomen that would need a special incantation is God-Father taught him, and that Draco proceeded to teach his whole staff. Draco took a deep breath and muttered the Vulnera Sanentur incantation to heal the gash in his stomach before moving on to the ribs. He had to repeat the spell a few time before he got it all closed, Harry would still scar though which he didn’t Harry would mind one bit. Draco proceeded to move on to the broken ribs these must have broken once the spell hit and he fell to the ground. He pulled out a small vial of skele-gro he knew this dreaded potion was disgusting, but it would mend Harry’s ribs the fastest. He opened Harry’s mouth and poured some down his throat, this of course made Harry finally wake up spewing what little of the potion was left in his mouth.

Harry groaned, “What the hell!”

“Welcome back Potter, nice to see you too. You have two broken ribs and a large gash that I healed, but is still sore to the touch, so I wouldn’t move around if I were you.”

Harry just laid there in pain staring at a disgruntled Draco Malfoy in pale blue healer robes with the sleeves rolled up. “I… okay.”

Draco just raised an eyebrow at him expect Potter to protest more than he actually did. “I expected more of a protest from the savior himself.”

Harry rolled his eyes, “Yeah well, I’m exhausted I’ve been running on empty for the past week, haven’t slept and have barely been able to eat and now I am in hospital so no I’m not going to protest some from of resting.”

“You haven’t slept for a week and haven’t eaten either?” Darco crossed his arms and gave Harry a withering you should know better look.

Harry just looked away from Draco and didn’t confirm what he just said. Draco sighed “Well now I’m going to have to put you on medical leave because you clearly need someone to take care of you every waking moment of your life!”

“Malfoy! No you can’t do that! I need to finish this case like yesterday!” Harry looked about ready to jump off the bed.

“No Potter, you need medical leave and a well deserved mental health break for Merlin sake! You will not change my mind and I am going to call Kingsley myself just so we are clear.” Malfoy had his arms folded now with his healer face on that said you cannot get out of this no matter what.

Harry crumpled against the bed, “Fine. How long?”

“I say for about a month.”

“A MONTH! No way!”

“Listen you ignorant moose! The brain is very fragile and when it gets overworked bad things happen… like this! Two weeks is a solid vacation from work and stress, but what you need is to heal better from your injuries, which will take about two weeks and then you will need to let you brain relax which will take two more weeks, so get over it or I will put you off for two months!

“Fine.” Harry pouted like a two year old.

“I’ll be back after I talk with Kingsley.” Malfoy swooshed out of the room.

Draco made it back to his office and proceeded to fire call Kingsley.

“To what to I know the pleasure of this fire call, Healer Malfoy?”

“I have your best auror in my hospital right now, and I just find out that he hasn’t slept and or eaten in a week, so I am filling the forms out for him to be on medical leave for a month for mental and physical health. I don’t care what you try to say to me about this he needs the time off starting tomorrow.”

Kingsley nodded, “I agree that Auror Potter needs the time off. You go ahead and fill the papers out and I will make sure that nobody question anything.”

Draco was a little surprised that Kingsley didn’t argue about his decision but he nodded, “Thank you Kingsley, I will be making sure he takes the full month he needs. Bye Kingsley.” the fire call ended.

Draco swooshed back into Harry’s room after filling out the forms and signing them before sending them to Kingsley.

“Kingsley approved the month, and I will be making sure you take that month off also as you healer. You’ll discharged tomorrow, so you better get comfortable with being at home a lot.”

Harry grumbled, but didn’t say anything or meet Draco’s eyes. He was pissed, he had every right to be as well. What the hell was he going to do for a month when all his friends worked during the day, there might be a lot of day time television and movies in his future. Also who was going to make him dinner when he was still healing and couldn’t really move much? He heard the door to his room click closed, he looked over and Draco had left the room while Harry was still pouting like a child.

Draco was out the door walking back to his office when he heard someone shout his name. He turned around and there stood Weasley and Granger with panicked looks on their face. Draco almost wanted to roll his eyes, but he refrained. “Weasley, Granger how can I help you?”

“The nurse up front said you treated Harry and we wanted to know where his room was.” Granger said.

Draco sighed and walked back down to Harry’s room where shockingly he was still pouting, Draco snorted. “You have visitors Potter.”

Harry looked up and saw Draco standing in the doorway with Hermione and Ron behind him, “They can come in.”

Draco step aside and let Hermione and Ron in, but Draco stayed in the room wanting to see what Ronald had to say about Draco healing Harry.

Hermione was the first to enter and run over to Harry, “Harry are you okay? We came as fast as we could!”

“I’m okay Mione, Draco healed me really well, he is keeping me off work for a month though.” Harry glared towards Draco.

“A MONTH!” Ron shouted, “How he is aloud to do that?”

“I made the mistake of telling him I hadn’t slept or eat in a week so he is making me take a mental health break for a month. I’ve come to accept in the last ten minutes, Kingsley already agreed to it… sadly.”

Surprisingly Ron didn’t look angry anymore, “Mate you probably have needed on for awhile, you should be thank the blonde ponce for once.”

Draco didn’t know whether to be complimented for offended by what Ronald said. He decided to be complimented and keep his mouth shut and just watch the friends interact with each other.

“Ron is right Harry, this is a much needed break. You deserve every bit of it.” Hermione sighed and patted harry on the shoulder.

“Ronald and I will come visit whenever we can, and we will let you rest now.” Hermione grabs Ron’s hand.

“I’ll see you guys later.” Harry smiled.

“We’ll see you when you get home tomorrow.” Ron and Hermione walked out the door.

“I’m glad you are no longer pouting about the month break.”

“I might no longer be pouting, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.”

Draco just shrugged while walking out the door, “Healer’s orders Potter.”

Harry just grumbled and closed his eyes to finally get some sort of rest hopefully with zero interruptions.
