Draco groaned as he made his way up the stairs to his and Hermione’s dormitory where he was sure to find a pain potion stashed in his trunk. He hadn’t wanted to worry her with his headaches, so he’d been keeping the pain to himself for the time being. If Draco was being honest with himself, he believed it had something to do with ripping his mind open to break down all of his occlumency barriers. Of course there had to be consequences to his actions– his Aunt Bella didn’t escape unscathed, and he didn’t expect to either.
