Unexpected

Pansy and Draco had followed them all the way to the head boy and girl dorms for gryffindor. As they stood outside the door pansy conjured some flowers and a couple of muggle chocolates they’d seen hermione harry and dean share in earlier years. Draco knocked on the portrait frame. They briefly heard harry mumble to hermione and yell “one moment.”
They stood there patiently waiting for him to opened the door, as he did his eyes went wide and h stepped out into the hall, “im sorry she’s not up for whatever this is,,” he said looking at the two slytherins, Pansy jumped right in, “its an apology,one long overdue. I'm so sorry Harry. I was so scared we were all signing our death certificates by not doing what he said. I was just scared and weak and i'm so sorry for doing all those nasty horrible things to you…” she looked at him and grabbed the chocolates and handed them to him, “peace offering.” She looked at him again, to her surprise Harry just hugged her, “I get and dying and then living made me realize that apparently unless you’re me you only live once. And this one life is too short to be spent hating.”
“For what it’s worth, Potter, I am not calling you Harry,I'm genuinely sorry for tormenting you since we were eleven.” Harry, who was still latching onto pansy, extended an arm and shook Draco’s hand, “only took us seven years and a war to do that.”
“We just needed a shove in the right direction.” Draco joked.
“There’s one more witch we need to apologize to…” Pansy said. To their relief Harry just nodded and led them into the dorm, he seemed reluctant to let go of Pansy.
When they walked in they immediately heard sniffles, “hermione…” Harry said “h? Where are you?”
“Harry?” A choked sob came from their little kitchenette and Harry’s face drained of color as he released Pansy and rushed towards the little closed off kitchen. Instinclty Draco and Pansy followed, “no no no no no no..” harry was pleading “im sorry harry…” Hermione whispered they were on the floor. “I love you Harry, you made me feel like a person…”
“NO.” Harry yelled trying to stop her bleeding. His yell and sobs were enough for Draco and pansy to spring into action “draco i have dittany in my purse grab it,” Draco found it immediately and unstoppered it, “harry hold her head please.” She said gently, harry immediately cradled her head of curls and pleaded with her, draco handed the vial to pansy who poured the whole thing onto hermione's arm and immediately went to the healing charms Draco’s mother had taught her when they found draco trying to carve the dark mark out of his arm. Letting the witch work furiously over the curly haired witch draco set to removing any and all sharp objects in the dorm and calling an elf to take them, since this was his personal elf from the manor they’d have no reason to report back to Minerva. “Reneverate.” He heard pansy say and then a gasp and a sob. He ran back in there to see pansy rise with blood soaked tights and Harry grasping onto Hermione like a lifeline. Draco and pansy had left them in the kitchen to allow Hermione some time to come to, meanwhile pansy sat in the bathroom removing her tights and then sitting next to draco
“Merlin.” She had said just as Harry walked Hermione into the living room, “oh, hello.” She said “uh thank you for you know saving me pansy,” she said quietly. “Hermione,” Draco said “I'm sorry, for everything. I'd list everything but I'm sure you’re busy for the next month and a half but I'm genuinely sorry for everything.”
“As am i, Granger, I was so cruel to you. I'm so sorry.” Hermione nodded then went and sat in between pansy and draco on the couch. “I forgive you.” Harry seemed to not want to leave Hermione's side so he settled on the floor in front of her. Sooner or later the four of them had dozed off and Draco was vaguely aware of Hermione using him as a pillow until they heard screams and Hermione, Draco, and Pansy shot right up. Hermione dove for Harry and woke him, while pansy and Draco seemed to get a better grasp at what their dynamic was. Harry had woken up as Hermione held his fingers to something she called a pulse point and listed all the reasons for him to be alive, ironically she had a long list, they noticed she was number one and she occasionally mumbled “please harry. I need you.” That’s when pansy and Draco saw it, they weren’t just friends helping each other through the war, they were like otters holding onto each other so the other doesn’t float away, and pansy and Draco were determined to add two more otters to their little bevy.
