A/N: Hi guys! So, I AM working on Hippogriff tales, but it's not going so well. I keep changing it. Okay, so now you know. Enjoy this though. Don't know if it'll be a oneshot or multi-chapter. Oh, this is like Animagus!Draco and Mysterious!Harry. Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull this one off, but NO FLAMES! Flames will be used to heat the poles, and then the polar bears will have no homes. No one wants that.

Harry walked into the Room of Requirement, not for a D.A. Meeting, but for his own personal reasons. As he walked in, he saw the picture book, the diary, and the tape player. He sat on the stone floor, surrounding himself with the objects. Tears started to roll down his cheeks as he pressed play on the tape player. His mother and father's voices filled the room.

"Hello? Lily dear, are you sure it can hear us?"

"Of course James! Say hello to little Harry!"

"Okay... Hello Harry?"

"Oh please... Harry darling! Hello, this is Mummy and Daddy!"

"Oh yes Harry, this is... um.. Daddy"

"Harry darling, we love you! We're making this tape in case, well you know..."

"In case Voldemort decides to k-"

"James!"

"Sorry! But Lily, if he needs this, well..."

"Oh fine! Harry dear, Mum and Dad are in... trouble, with a very mean wizard. But, we tried our best, and..."

"And we love you very much," said his father.

"Oh James, the tape in running out!"

"Is it? Well, bye Harry..."

"Bye Harry!"

The tape ended and Harry buried his face in his hands, sobs racking his body. A small white cat walked into the room. Harry looked up as it walked up to him. It brushed against him, nudging him gently. Harry chuckled slightly, petting the cat. It climbed into his lap, snuggling before meowing contentedly.

"Wait a minute cat, what are you doing?"

He got no answer, the cat was fast asleep in his lap. He absentmindedly continued to stroke it. Only when it shifted and stretched did he look down. It stared up at him with silver eyes.

"You have such pretty eyes..." whispered Harry.

The cat meowed it's agreement and then walked out of the room, radiating a sense of smugness that reminded him slightly of Draco Malfoy. For the first time in a month, Harry walked back to his dorm happier than he left, hoping that he would see the cat again.

A/N: This isn't the end of the chapter, but I just wanted to slip some stuff in here. I think this is really cute. Yes, Draco is the cat. No, Harry does not know. On with the chapter!

The next day, Harry escaped to the Room of Requirement earlier than usual. He noticed that the cat was already there, as if was waiting. Some part of his mind remembered that Draco had left dinner early also, but the cat walked up to him. It stared at him expectantly. He reached down to stroke it and it purred. The cat suddenly stopped, and had a look on its face that made Harry laugh. The cats eyes flashed and it looked offended.

"I'm sorry... Kitty..."

The cat looked at him, obviously displeased with the name.

"Well, what should I call you? You look like Draco, so I'll call you Drake," he said slowly.

The cat actually shrugged, as if the name was not the best, but close enough.

"Drake, I don't feel like listening to the tapes today, and there is something I want to get off my chest."

The cat looked at him, urging him.

"Well, I sorta think that... ImighthaveacrushonDracoMalfoy!"

Drake's head tilted to the side, his ears perked up. Interested.

"I... might have a small crush on Draco. I just... I thought it was just because he was my rival. But as time passes, I catch myself just... dreaming..."

The cat looked up alarmed.

"No! It's nothing dirty, no! It's more.. admiration."

Drake looked up at him, nodding slightly.

"You're a weird cat. Nice, but weird. What should I do about Draco?"

"Meow..."

"Ha! Maybe, I should just start gradually being nice! Do you think that would work?"

The cat looked at Harry like he was crazy.

"Right," Harry said, "Cats don't talk."

And both cat and boy walked out of the room.

Later...

Draco lay on his bed in the dark, thinking about the 'conversation' he had with Harry Potter. Well, granted, he had been a cat...

Anyway, he hadn't been meaning to spy on Potter! It started when Draco was walking down the hall, and he heard sobbing. He stopped in the doorway when he heard voices that were so familiar they could only belong to Potter's parents. He wanted to comfort the boy, but as a human, he would never get the chance. He had stood there before realizing that he was an animagus. So after transforming, he had gone and seen the boy.

And now Potter had gone and confessed his undying love to him! Well... maybe not undying love, but a crush. And Draco had to keep from transforming right there and snogging the boy senseless. But, being a confident Malfoy, he had restrained. But now... it was a lot harder to control himself.

Why couldn't he just tell Potter how he felt, that he really liked Harry? Why was Harry so scared of him? He was able to tell a cat, for Merlin's sake! He fell asleep with these thoughts circling in his head.

"NOO!" screamed Draco, waking up suddenly.

He looked around the room. A couple of his dorm mates had tossed at his scream, but they were all still asleep. He crawled out of bed, and out of the Slytherin common room. He climbed the stairs, and to the portrait hole of the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady in the picture stirred.

"Password?"

"Please, can you let me in just this once?" asked Draco's wavering voice.

"You aren't even a Gryffindor."

"Please? I... I need to! It's urgent."

"Why should I?"

"Please, I had a nightmare, and I just need to see him!"

"Who?"

Before thinking he blurted, "Harry Potter."

The fat lady sighed, "Just this once, got it Draco?"

"Yes," he said, tears of relief in his voice, "Thank you!"

He ran through the hole, up the stairs to the boys dorm room, and burst in quietly. He saw Harry twisted in his bedsheets, tossing and turning, before Harry sat up.

"Hello? Who's there?"

"It's Draco... Malfoy," he added stupidly. How many Draco's were there?

"Do you need something?" Harry asked, confused.

"I had... a nightmare. I just- I-I," Draco started crying.

Harry was frozen between comforting the boy and kicking him out of the room. When the tears started to flow, however, Harry's mind was made up.

"Come here," Harry said gently.

Draco walked carefully over and sat where Harry indicated. The bed didn't shift under Draco's weigh, and he felt oddly self-conscious.

"What happened?" asked Harry.

"Y-You were just gone! I couldn't find you, and no one knew who you were! T-they didn't remember, and they didn't believe me. I asked and a-asked but it was like you never existed. And then... then there were dementors, and one h-had your eyes, and it was just horrible!" cried Draco.

Draco put his head on Harry's shoulder, and Harry ran his fingers through Draco's hair trying to comfort the sobbing boy.

"It was just a dream," soothed Harry.

"But it seemed so real, and then I wasn't sure!"

Harry wrapped his arms around the boy, pulling him close. Draco could hear Harry's heart through the thin night shirt.

"See, nice and real."

"I don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to go back to sleep, because when I wake up, you won't be there!"

"Stay in here," said Harry.

"What?"

"Sleep in here with me," Harry said, blush rising to his cheeks, "then I'll be here when you wake up. I won't leave until you're sure you're fully awake, okay? I promise."

"O-Okay," said Draco.

They lay down, Harry's arms still circling Draco, creating a fence, a shield, blocking out bad dreams and thoughts. They both fell asleep quickly, snuggling close to each other.
