⚠️anorexia warning, self harm possibly
Harry eyed Draco across the cafeteria, he hasn't eaten anything all day and he was staring to get worried. Draco has been doing this lately, not eating. Harry has grown very worried and talked to Hermione about it many times, not bothering to talk to Ron as he was stuffing his face.
It was the middle of spring and Draco was still wearing sweaters on the weekends, it was in the high 50s he couldn't possibly be cold. So, Harry decided to follow Draco after potions. He was headed towards the the bathrooms which was odd because he'd also gone right before class started. His speed increased as he neared the bathroom, oblivious to Harry under the invisibility cloak.
Draco rushes into a stall practically breaking the door as he opens it not bothering to close it. He pulls up his left sleeve and harry is stunned by the sight. Dozens of deep cuts cover the dark mark, there were raised purple scars all around it obviously he's been doing this. Draco pulls out his wand and casts a mumbled spell on his wrist, hissing as his skin splits open creating a deep wound. He watches as the blood swells and drips down onto the floor. He continues to cast this over and over again. Harry cant move. His mangled flesh, red against ivory is burned into his skull.
Harry can't bare to watch this as Malfoy looks close to passing out. He rushes forward not caring when the cloak falls behind him. He does his best to stop the bleeding as Malfoy fades in and out of consciousness.
"What-.. po-potter?" Draco slurs trying to stay awake. Confusion sets into his features as his eyes search the panicked face in front of him.
"Don.. don't tell anyone... please..." Malfoy begs looking at nothing in particular.
Harry quickly send a patronus to madam Pomfrey and tries to keep Malfoy awake. Ultimately failing Malfoy passes out and Harry's eyes full with tears of panic and fear, he can only hope Pomfrey comes soon.

*in the hospital wing*
Malfoy's eyes flutter open and a look of confusion settles on his face. He tries to sit up but winces from the pain, Potter is sitting next to him in a chair chewing his lip anxiously.
"What the fuck!?" Malfoy yells catching Harry's attention.
"No you have to lay down! Please Malfoy" Harry eyes his wrists and fails to mask his worry.
His eyes widen with realization and fear." Why am i here?! This can't- this can't be happening.."
Harry looks at him with pity and worry and glances at Pomfrey.
"Mr Malfoy, please calm down your going to rip your stiches."
Draco looks down at his wrist and fear flashes across his face. His breath gets faster and choppy. Completely forgetting about Potter he pulls his legs to his chest and hides his face.
"You can't tell my father- please." Malfoy looks up with tears in his eyes.
Harry doesn't even care about the dark mark all he feels is sorry towards the skinny boy in front of him. All past rivalry forgot he puts a hand on Malfoys shoulder. He looks up startled and tries to school his expression but can't.
"It'll all be okay Draco."
Draco? Did he just say Draco? He must have heard wrong.
