That night, around 11 o'clock, Dean awoke again. This time, so did Seamus.
"Who is it?" Seamus whispered fearfully. Dean listened for a while minute. Then he smiled.
"It's just Malfoy. He's visiting Harry again, I guess. Don't worry about it." Seamus nodded uncertainly, but he trusted Dean. The dark boy kissed Seamus' forehead tenderly, and they quickly fell back asleep.
Draco drew back the curtains from Harry's bed, revealing the slumbering Gryffindor. He nudged Harry awake, who looked at him in confusion.
"Move over, ya lump." Draco whispered. Harry obliged, and the pale lad climbed in and snuggled next to him. A smile quirked at the corner of Harry's mouth as he lay back down and dropped back asleep.
Again, Draco was gone in the morning.
The next night, Harry was awake and waiting for Draco. When he pulled back the drapes, Harry was sitting up reading. He glanced at Draco, then wordlessly scooted over and drew back the covers. Draco slid in and settled against Harry.
This went on for quite a while. Every night, without fail, Draco Malfoy would creep up to the 6th year Gryffindor dormitory and slide into bed with Harry. It got so that Harry couldn't sleep unless Draco was there.
Now this didn't necessarily mean things went smoothly. Often, Draco would be in a foul mood and wouldn't even say hello to Harry, which was all they ever said except "good night". Sometimes Harry would have homework to finish, when Draco wanted to sleep. Harry tended to take up a lot of space when he slept, which resulted in Draco poking and prodding him in the middle of the night to get more room.
And then there were the nightmares. It turned out that Draco, like Harry, got them regularly. There was hardly a night that went by that one teen wasn't awakened by the other.
Three weeks later...
Draco came that night, looking completely exhausted as collapsed into the Gryffindor's bed. Harry glanced at him, then back at his parchment, and sighed. //It's not like I'm going to get this done tonight, anyway,// he thought. He blew out the candle and felt Draco press against him.
"Good night." he whispered tentatively. Sometimes the Slytherin wouldn't answer him. But Draco sighed, pulled Harry closer to him, and whispered,
"Night." before closing his eyes. Somehow, having Draco there made Harry feel safe, which was odd because technically, they were enemies. He always fell asleep quickly, however, soothed by Draco's rhythmic breathing.
That night, however, was not to be peaceful. Harry awoke to find Draco tossing and turning beside him, his eyes screwed up tightly.
"Won't let... you - ah." he mumbled. Harry quickly shook him back to the real world, his gray eyes snapping open with a start.
"Hey, it's okay Draco, it's okay." Harry murmured as he held the Slytherin tight. Draco pressed his face against Harry's chest and took a deep breath. "Do you wanna talk?"
"No," Draco said sullenly, pulling away. "I'm fine." He rolled over onto his side, away from Harry. Harry shrugged, trying not to be offended. This was how his Slytherin bedmate always was, as if he was afraid to let Harry see the "weak" side of him, afraid to let Harry know that he *needed* another person.
But on those horrific (and frequent) nights when Harry was victim to a nightmare, Draco was always there for him, holding him as he shook violently, trying to contain his sobs.
