When Liam woke the next morning, he relaxed into the warm body next to him. Smiling at the naturalness of the arm draped across his hip, he just snuggled in closer, and started to drift off again.

Suddenly he jolted awake. �BODY?� looking over apprehensively, he was relieved to see the peaceful face to Draco Malfoy. He smiled slightly as he watched the boy shift closer and mumble under his breath. He reached over and gently brushed the soft blond hair off his face. Liam closed is eyes, determined to enjoy the comfort as long as possible. Even though they shared a bed over the summer, for lack of space, mostly, the unfamiliarness of it while at school confused him.

He knew Draco couldn�t love him, just as sure as he knew that he loved the blond. He was scared to admit anything because he didn�t want to destroy the friendship that had come to mean everything to him, so he just sighed deeply, and went back to sleep.

Draco woke up a few minutes later, blissfully content. He felt the arm around him tighten, and he relished the contact before he fully realized where he was, and more importantly; who he was with. He eased himself out of Liam�s embrace and regretfully got out of bed. Even though they slept together during the summer, it was more for comfort than anything else. He couldn�t risk destroying the close friendship that he and Lee had developed.

Muttering a quick spell, he swore when the clock told him it was 5:45. Reaching over, he shook Liam to wake him up.

�Whasamatter �Ray?�

�Get up Liam; we have that meeting in 10 minutes." Draco mentally excluded the extra 5 minutes, for leeway.

Liam bolted upright in shock, and swore as well, before jumping out of bed and racing into the closet.

The two ran around frantically, trying to get dressed and cleaned as soon as physically possible.

8 minutes later, they were out the door, and running down the hall.

Out of breath, opened the door, just as the clock rang 6.

�Glad you boys could make it, grab a seat. Normally you two wouldn�t be at the early meetings, but considering that you�ve arrived yesterday, I thought it would be important that you get a brief overview of how we work.� Dumbledore remarked, as the boys caught their breath.

The next half hour was spent with Dumbledore explaining how patrol rotation worked, the curfew scheduling, and handed out class lists.

�That said, gentlemen,� he concluded. �You must remember not to change anything. No matter what you think is right. All you can do is teach, and offer guidance.�

�Yes, sir.�

�You may not have noticed but, we use first names when addressing each other.�

�You forget, we�ve been calling you sir for years. It�s hard to break the habit.�

Dumbledore just smiled. �I think you boys can go now. I know you�ve got to be hungry.�

�Good-bye Albus.�

�Good bye Liam, Draco.�

�One last question Hea-Albus. Do we have to wear the robes?�

Albus paused mid-turn, then smiled. �I see nothing wrong with your wardrobe.�

Both boys wore matching smirks. �Thanks.� They said before walking out the door and into the Great Hall for breakfast.

�First class is 3rd year Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw.� Draco told Liam as they sat down. �Followed by 7th year Gryffindor/Slytherin.� Liam groaned. �It�ll be okay Lee.�

�I know Dray. It�s just overwhelming. I finally get to meet her.�

Draco nodded and was about to respond when a flash of blond caught his eyes. He looked over and choked on his toast.

�Dray? What�s the matter?� Liam exclaimed, while pounding him on the back.

When Draco finally got his breath back, he nodded subtly towards the Slytherin table. �My father. I forgot that he�d be here. I haven't seen him in so long...� Draco started trembling as memories of the beatings flashed through his mind.

�Fuck.� Liam mumbled as he realized that Draco was reliving the memories. They had gone through this many times over the summer, so Liam did the one thing that would help the shaking boy. Casting a spell that would make it appear that the two were eating normally, Liam gathered Draco in his arms and held him tightly. Rubbing a hand up and down the distressed boy�s back, he murmured comforting words in his ear, tears rolling down his face as well. He hated the fact that just a glance could trigger memories, and reduce the blonde to tears.

Eventually Draco stopped crying and pulled back. Smiling slightly in thanks, he cast a glamour around his face to cover the red splotchy skin.

�This is going to be a long year isn�t?�

Liam didn�t even bother replying.
