The tousled black hair shakes a negative. Draco rubs Harry's leg as he exits. Real.

"Here, coffee," pre-coffee Harry fumbles a mug to Draco.

"Thanks," Draco murmurs back, clasping Harry's fingers briefly around the mug. Real.

"I love you Draco," Harry whispers in the darkened room. Draco reaches a pale hand to his face in reply. Real.
