relieved smile graced his lips as he reached for Draco's hand and gave it a satisfied squeeze.
"Yes ... together"
That was what he had wished for and hoped, what he hadn't been able to tell him. That he and him had the feeling that he could get through the whole thing without any difficulties.
“I love you!” He just managed to whisper these words before he spread a pleasant warmth in his body and a slight pull was felt, but it was not an uncomfortable feeling. Rather the opposite. He could feel how his soul slowly wandered back into his body and with it life. He didn't even have to look at Draco to know that Draco felt the same way with him. And for the first time in his life he was really happy.Draco came back to life, coughing, as his lungs breathed air for the first time in over a week. The numb feeling was banished from his limbs and he could feel the stone of the coffin under his shoulders.

The calls of his father and Sirius Black reached his ear. There were steps. The spell must have disappeared because all of a sudden Draco's long, white-blonde hair fell over his father's face.
"Hi Dad!" he said with a humorous smile and screwed up his eyes.
"You took a damn long time, young man," Lucius snapped, but Draco didn't think he was mad at his son. Because in his eyes there was again that relief that he had never seen in him before.
Draco slowly put his arms on the stone and sat up. He had to admit that he had never felt so alive.
He tilted his head to one side and saw Harry, who was being patted by his godfather Sirius.Apparently the adults could hardly believe that they were among them again and that they were completely unharmed.
Felidea had now wriggled out of Harry's cloak again and snuggled around his neck.
~ Go Meisssster! I knew that everything would be fine ~
Then their eyes met. Green stared into misty gray, gray sank into warm green, and the two young men burst into amused laughter.
They did it together. And although this experience had turned Draco's world upside down and would continue to do so, he was glad of it.
No, he didn't regret anything.
