AN: Thanks to my awesome beta Relala for straightening things up for me.
"Harry! Harry wake up!" Draco gently shook the trembling teenager who slept beside him.
Harry's eyes popped open and Draco could clearly see the fear in the smaller man's eyes, and just from that look of absolute terror he knew exactly which nightmare plagued his lover that night.
Harry threw his arms around his lover's neck and Draco pulled him close, gently rocking him and murmuring soothing words into his ear. Slowly the trembling stopped and Harry was still in Draco's arms.
He continued to rock his lover and mutter gentle, soothing words into Harry's ear for several minutes before he pulled back to see if he had fallen back asleep. When Harry tightened the grip on his neck, he knew that he hadn't and that the dream had shaken his mate badly.
"Harry, love, do you need to talk?" Draco asked carefully.
The only response he received was a furious shake of Harry's head as the boy buried his head further against Draco's shoulder.
Draco continued to soothe Harry until his breathing slowed and evened out.
Kissing his mate on the forehead as he laid him back against the pillows on their bed, Draco made a promise to the sleeping man in front of him. "They'll never hurt you again my love, I promise you that."
Draco Apparated away after making sure that Harry was peacefully sleeping, but he was back in moments and crawled into the bed with his love.
The next morning when they awoke The Daily Prophet was waiting for them, on their kitchen table. The headline read:
Suspected Death Eater Lucius Malfoy Found Dead
