Shackled Romance-Chp36

*Harry had been staying in coal cellar with nothing bt stale bread n water for the past week, his fair skin n dark hair covered with so much soot frm the coal, u'd think he's the chimney sweep boy. N all the stale bread was starting to get to his stomach n he wasnt feeling too well*

Cedric did this best to get the money. He borrowed from his father and got his an advance on his paycheck. Fianlly he got all the money he needed and came back, money in hand.

Bruno: *had just sent off another prostitute to a client wen he came in* Ah, Master Diggory. Welcome bk

"Here is the money that I owe you for that customer." He handed the man a sack of gallions. "And this is the amount to make him platinum." He handed over another sack.

Bruno: Another platinum? Wat is it with u guys wanting to make all my whores platinum?! Ur putting us outta business here, kiddo!

"Your surely have enough whores to go around. I want him on platinum status, now!"

Bruno: *frowned, bt he wasnt one to refuse money* U drive a hard bargain, Master Diggory *turns to the bouncer* Get tht rookie outta the coal cellar

Cedric let out a sigh of relife. Finally Harry would be out of that cellar and back into his arms.

Bouncer: *came out with Harry slung ovr his shoulder, bt it looked like Harry's body had gave in to the food poisoning frm consuming stale bread all week*

"He is sick, can't you tell." He pulled Harry off the bouncers' shoulder. "Where can I take him?"

Bruno: None of my business. We hv medics for tht. He cant leave here unless u pay him to go out. Just bring him to one of the empty platinum rooms. Up at the highest floor. I'll get the medic

Cedric was led to an emty room. He laid HArry down on the bed and brushed the stoot from his face. "I am sorry I didn't get her sooner."

Harry: *was unconscious, he had passed out frm puking just now frm his last meal due to the food poisoning*

Neville: *was summoned n soon made his way there* Master Diggory, I heard Harry's sick

"Yes. He was in the coal cellar on stable bread. He doesn't look so good."

Neville: Oh... *tried not to look too guilty bcoz he was in charge of Harry's food* Well, lets see wat I can do *brought out his med kit n started treating Harry*

Cedric sat back, holding Harry's hand. "Will he be ok?"

Neville: Its bad, bt not as bad as I fear. He just need some regular medication n to hv soft foods for now. I'm feeding him something strong to counter the internal infection *tilted Harry's head so he can feed him some potion meds*

Cedric nodded.

Neville: *finished up* U might wanna give him a bath too, the longer u leave him like this, the harder the soot is coming off

"I will wash him don't worry." ced picked him up and took him to a privite bath to wash him.

Neville: *left the room*

Harry: *was coming out of his unconsciousness* Mnnhh...? Wha...Where am I...?

"shh baby. You don't need to say anything. I am just going to wash you off."

Harry: Nnh...This...This is not the public bathroom...?

"no this is your private bath. you are now a platinum."

Harry: Wha...Me...? W-Where did u get tht money?

"You don't need to worry about that. All you need to worry about is nothing." he said washing him good.

Harry: *smiled gently as he leaned his head against Ced's shoulder, letting him wash him*

Ced continud to wash him until he was all clean and then dried him off. he took him back to the bedroom and laid him down. "I am so sorry for getting you in trouble, but i couldn't let that man have you."

Harry: *groans a little as the meds took more effect* Its...OK, bt reli I didnt want u to get in trouble too. Its my job aftr all

"now you only job is to be with me, no one can hurt you or use you." he kissed his cheek.

Harry: *chuckles* Thank u, thank u so much. U've done so much for me, I dunno how to repay u *kissed him bk*

"No need to thank me. I had to do it. You do things for the ones you love." Ced smiled at him.

Harry: *blushed* I love u too. I love u so much *hugs him close* I dunno wat my life would've been without u

"I don't want to think about that either. I love you." He kissed his lips.

Harry: *broke in happy tears as he kissed him bk, as if if he let him go, Ced would disappear n evrything would be a dream n he would be bk at the coal cellar again*

Ced just held him close. He was one more step closer to getting Harry out. "How do you feel?"

Harry: A bit better now, my stomach is still a little queasy, bt I'll live

"Well you should feel better soon, just rest."

Harry: Bt...I should do something to thank u *his hand wanted to reach to touch Ced's crotch*

"Thank me by resting so you really can thank me later."

Harry: *nods, then leans in to kiss him before closing his eyes n rested, not before whispering* I love u, Cedric

"I love you to, Harry."
