After Harry had left he went to the Room or requirements, he needed to be alone for a while. Although he kinda wished Draco was with him, he just wanted someone to hug him and tell him everything would be alright. But things never seemed to be alright for Harry, something always happened and it would destroy any happiness he had. He sat on the sofa that the room had provided and pulled his knees to his chest as he started to break down into tears.


Draco walked down the halls and the door to the Room of requirements appeared as he passed it. He found this to be a bit odd and opened the door, and to his surprise Harry was sitting on the sofa hugging his knees close to his chest as he cried quietly. Draco then rushed over to his boyfriend and pulled him into a hug, Harry buried his face into Draco’s shoulder.

Draco: “ shh, it’s okay babe… it’s okay, i’ve got you” he whispers to Harry, as he gently rubs his back in an attempt to calm him

Harry: “why can’t I just be happy? ” he asks in between sobs

Draco: “hey, you can be happy and i’m going to do my best to help you stay happy. Okay babe?” he says

Harry: “okay” he says softly “ please don’t leave me” he says

Draco: “i’d never leave you Harry, ever” he says

Harry slowly started to calm down, and he managed to stop crying. But now he was really tired, this was the only bad part about his emotions whenever he got very emotional it seemed to suck the energy right out of him. Draco noticed as his boyfriend’s eyes started getting heavier and he was fighting to keep his eyes open. He knew Harry needed to rest but he wouldn’t go to sleep willingly, that much was obvious. So Draco decided to try and help him fall asleep without Harry knowing his intentions, Draco gently pulled Harry closer to him allowing his head to rest on his chest, he lightly stroked Harry’s raven colored hair and started humming a soft lullaby while cuddling with his boyfriend. Which seemed to be working, as Harry started to yawn and his body relaxed a bit. Draco kept humming to his boyfriend hoping he would go to sleep, he could tell Harry was getting sleepier but he was still fighting to stay awake. Draco kept humming the lullaby, and after a while his boyfriend’s eyes finally closed. And a few moments later Harry was sound asleep in Draco’s arms, snoring quietly. Draco smiled softly and carefully removed Harry’s glasses, setting them aside. Draco watched over him as he slept, he wanted to make sure Harry got the rest he needed and Draco quietly used magic to summon a blanket, and carefully covered his sleeping boyfriend with it.

Harry: he cuddled into Draco’s chest, and mumbled something softly in his sleep “I love you Draco”

Draco: he smiled and whispered “ I love you to Harry, sleep well”

Harry slept soundly for a couple of hours, before being dragged into a nightmare… he mumbled, tossing in turning a bit as the memory of his parents death flooded his dreams, Draco noticed this and tried to wake his boyfriend.

Draco: he shakes Harry gently “hey babe wake up, it’s just a dream Harry… wake up” he says

Harry: he wakes up breathing heavily, and looks at Draco “ sorry if I fell asleep” he mumbles

Draco: “ you don’t have to apologize babe, it was partly my fault you fell asleep” he says

Harry: “ What do you mean?” he asks

Draco: “ well once you had calmed down after this evening's incident, you looked really tired and it seemed like you were fighting sleep. So I cuddled with you, and was softly humming a lullaby trying to help you fall asleep without making it obvious.” he says

Harry: “ well thanks, I usually have a hard time sleeping… so any sleep I do get is good for me, right now I kinda wish I hadn’t chose to be in Gryffindor” he says

Draco: “you’re welcome, and I kinda figured as much. So what house was the hat wanting to put you in?” he says

Harry: “ yeah, and it wanted to put me in Slytherin” he says

Draco: “really?!” he asks a bit shocked that the Harry Potter was almost put in Slytherin

Harry: “mhmm, but now i’m thinking that it was a mistake for me to have been put in Gryffindor” he says

Draco: “and why’s that?” he asks

Harry: “ because I feel like if I go back in there without Ron and Mione, that I won’t be accepted… i’m not very brave and I don’t think the other students will be very happy when Ginny spreads the news about me being Gay around” he says

Draco: “well if that kind of thing happens you can always come to my dorm, us Slytherins have our own rooms. They’re smaller than the others but they have slightly bigger beds” he says

Harry: “okay, but what if I get you in trouble?” he asks

Draco: “you won’t, I promise. As long as you don’t go into the common room you’ll be fine” he says

Harry: “ So how would I get in?” he asks

Draco: “ Apparate” he says

Harry: “oh okay, hey what time is it?” he asks

Draco: he looks at his watch “ nearly curfew” he says

Harry: he nods “ guess we should get to our common rooms huh?” he says

Draco: “yeah” he says “ like I said if you need me come to me, I love you and i’ll see you soon” he says

Harry: “ I love you too Dray, see you soon” he says

Draco gently kisses Harry, and Harry kisses him back. Draco tries to pull away but Harry pulls him back for one more kiss

Draco: “ goodnight Harry” he says softly

Harry: “night Dray” he says

They both then apparate to their common rooms
