Harry demonstrated it a few times, and Draco watched dubiously.
"There's two more, and these will be harder on your legs. Having a chair is better, but I'll show you how to do it without."
Harry dropped to lie flat on the floor, turned onto his side, curled his legs up, put both hands on the floor in front of him, and then lifted his waist off the ground, so he was on all fours.
"Then you move over to the chair or something you can grab, like a table or your bed. Lift your hands one to grab whatever. See?" Harry said, grabbing the chair arms. "Then move one leg forward into this lunge position. Use your arms to lift upward and press up with your legs to get to the standing position."
Harry demonstrated it a few times and then showed him how to do it without grabbing something. He pressed his hands into his forward knee to lift upward. Draco grimaced as Harry guided him out of his wheelchair and then slowly dropped him to the floor. He hated wiggling around on the floor like a grindylow out of water. Harry guided him into rolling over and crawling into position. Harry did not make it easy, explaining that he could fall at any time.
Draco handled the first exercise okay and got up into the chair. The second exercise was more difficult as he had to use his stomach muscles to wiggle into position. When they got to the leg-using exercises, Draco had difficulty getting his legs into position and using them like that. Harry had to guide him through it each time, and he managed to get up on his own. Harry gave a nice long rub down after, and Draco just melted.
"You did great, Draco. We can try again after lunch."
"Sigh..." Draco said, audibly. "Fine. Are we going to eat outside, again?"
It had been a few days since the first time. The newspaper did, in fact, report on their outing, though the headline wasn't as dire as he predicted. "Malfoy heir emerges from hiding!" The paper included the photo that a healer took of them and a recap of what had been divulged at the Azkaban trials and McGrath's trial about his abuse. Someone, most likely the photo-taker, provided some new commentary about his progress, like he was walking and seeing a mind healer. Harry did not like that part at all, and said he reported that person to the hospital's Witch and Wizard Relations office.
"Are you sure?" Harry seemed apprehensive.
Draco nodded and said, "It's not necessary. Here is fine."
Harry relaxed a little. While Harry wasn't hauled over the coals in the article, it did talk about how long Harry had been his healer and that Harry had testified for him in McGrath's trial. Harry did not like the reminders... of both their pasts.
"We can go, if you want," he whispered, clearly anxious. Harry always put him first.
"No, maybe we can invite Hermione or Ron to lunch?"
Harry lifted his head and smiled. He liked that suggestion better. "I'll see if they are available. If not, I can see if Molly wants to stop by with the kids?"
Draco smiled, and Harry went to his office. He returned and said that Hermione and Ron were at an important luncheon with the French ambassador, but Molly said she could stop by for lunch. Harry went to his morning appointments, and Joel stopped by for their session.
"Did you tell him, yet?" Joel asked, point blank.
"No... I mean, how?"
"Draco... we talked about this...."
"I know."
"I still think that you shouldn't...."
"I know," he repeated.
