Author's Notes: Written for week 3 in
slythindor100's H/D LDWS Round Three. The prompt was Time-Turner. This was my last drabble for the contest. :(
Had anyone looked into Harry's sitting room just then, they would surely have thought the man to be upstairs, getting lucky. The place was a scene for seduction: dimly lit with candles everywhere, dinner and wine elegantly laid out for two, music playing softly in the background. No one would ever have suspected that in reality, Harry was at St. Mungo's tending to his sick boyfriend.
It was Harry and Draco's one-month anniversary, and things were going so well that they had decided to celebrate by sleeping together for the first time. In his excitement, and to impress his picky boyfriend, Harry went all out with the preparations. He cared about Draco very much, and wanted their first time to be amazing and perfect. So he had gotten Draco's favorite wine, made his favorite food, and even ordered fifty candles in Draco's favorite scent to fill the house. And all of his hard work was currently at the house without them, going cold.
Not that he cared about any of that right now. He was far too worried about Draco, whom Harry had taken to the hospital shortly after he arrived for their date. Draco's face had been flushed and hot to the touch, but he argued that he was perfectly fine up until the Healer announced that his temperature was 39° C. After that, the blond quieted down fairly quickly.
The Healer assured them it was nothing serious, but asked that Draco stay overnight for observation. Thus, their night of romance found Draco lying feverish in a hospital bed with Harry beside him.
"I feel horrible, Harry," Draco moaned.
"I know you do, baby, but your fever will break. Just..." his words trailed off at the look Draco gave him. "What?"
"I'm not talking about that! I feel horrible because we have to wait longer! If I had a Time-Turner, I'd go back four weeks and shag you silly straight away."
Harry's heart and cock both leapt at these words. "We'll have plenty of time for shagging once you're healthy," he purred.
Now if only he could speed up time.
