It was a couple of nights later when Draco felt himself being roughly shook awake. He opened his eyes to find Kreacher's face inches from his and scrambled up. "Don't do that. Getting so close like that." he said as he rubbed his eyes. "What did you wake me for?"
"Kreacher is worried. Kreacher be hearing Harry, sir. Harry is screaming and crying in his sleep, sir. Normally Kreacher is being able to wake him sir but tonight is worse. Harry is thrashing around sir."
Draco stood up. "Show me where Harry sleeps Kreacher."
The elf nodded and hurried to the door, Draco following. "Kreacher has had to punish himself for taking Harry's wand. But Kreacher is worried that he will get hold of it with it being so close to him."
"It's alright Kreacher you did the right thing." Draco said as he walked into Harry's private rooms where he saw Harry on the bed tossing from side to side, arching his back and screaming.
"Kreacher is not knowing what to do. Kreacher is hearing you should never wake someone in this state as it could do some damage.."
"That is people who sleepwalk but with how Harry is right now, I am not sure."
"You is wanting Kreacher to fetch the Headmistress?"
Draco got into Harry's bed. "No Kreacher." he said as he held Harry's wrists. After wiggling Harry broke free and started waving his arms about as if he was attacking Draco. "No!"
"Harry it is Draco you are safe. The war is over. No more fighting. Please Harry." Draco laid down and took Harry in his arms. "You're safe." he whispered into the brunet's ear. "No more harm will come to you I promise."
Harry started to calm down and clung onto Draco who held him closer.
"Is it being safe to wake Harry now?" Kreacher asked.
Instead of answering Draco shook Harry gently and woke him up.
"Draco?" Harry frowned. "Why are you in my bed?" looking around he asked further. "Why am I in your arms?"
"You were having a nightmare, Harry. Kreacher came and woke me as he didn't know what to do."
Harry blushed. "I'm sorry." Harry looked at his elf. "Sorry Kreacher."
"Kreacher should be sorry for Kreacher took Harry's wand."
Harry looked over Draco's shoulder to find his wand gone. "He said you were thrashing about and didn't want you to grab it and cause any harm." Draco explained.
"It's alright Kreacher. Go and rest now."
"Was the nightmare about the war Harry?"
"Yeah. I can't believe you managed to calm me down, even Ron couldn't do that when I was having nightmares about Voldemort before the war and they were just as bad, as I was witnessing what he was doing to people sometimes." he said, sighing as he dropped his head on Draco's shoulder. It was only when he felt Draco rest his head on top of his that he realised that he was in Draco's arms, blushing he pulled away. "Sorry."
"So you should be."
"What?" Harry asked, frowning.
"I was enjoying that until you moved back."
"You -"
"I like you Harry, more than I ever thought I would and in a way I never expected."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't know what it is but I just feel that I need to be with you, I hate that I am having to do everything the muggle way but now it doesn't matter as I know at the end of it I get to eat meals and laugh with you."
Harry licked his lips and let his eyes drop to the Slytherin's who smiled and inched his head forwards. Harry looked up into Draco's eyes before meeting him the rest of the way moaning a little when he felt the blond's lips against his. "Is this okay?" Draco asked.
"Merlin, yes!" Harry answered, his hand going to the back of Draco's head to join lips once more.
Draco tightened his hold on Harry and kissed him back with more enthusiasm and let his tongue slip out and lick Harry's lips lightly; he moaned when Harry opened his mouth and let loose with his own tongue, thrusting it into Draco's mouth before withdrawing his own and sucking the blond's tongue into his own mouth.
Draco pulled away and started to trail his lips down the brunet's neck, Harry moving his head back giving Draco more of his neck as he held him in place.
After sucking a certain spot on Harry's neck making him make the most delicious sound he had ever heard Draco moved his head back up and joined lips once more. When air was needed Harry pulled back and looked into the greyest eyes he had ever seen and smiled.
"Now that I know you are okay, I will get back to my settee."
"No." Harry tightened his hold. "Stay with me, just to sleep."
"You sure?"
Harry smiled and laid back pulling Draco with him. "Yes."
When Harry awoke next morning he was warm. He slowly opened his eyes and came face to face with a sleeping Draco. He remembered his nightmare, waking up seeing Draco there with him comforting him, confessing how he feels.
The kiss. Harry smiled at that and slowly reached up to touch his dry lips, Draco kissing him, his tongue in his mouth before those lips trailed down his neck.
"It's rude to stare." Draco opened his eyes and saw Harry staring back at him. "Morning Harry."
Harry smiled slightly and rolled onto his back. "Morning."
Draco propped himself up on his elbow. "You regret last night." It wasn't a question.
"No." Harry still laying flat he moved up a little and leaned on his elbows. "No I don't. I have been having feelings for you for a while now and am happy, glad even, but..."
"But what?"
"What now?"
"This." Draco answered as he pushed Harry back and laid on top of him.
Harry smiled and tangled his fingers into the blond locks as he lifted his head a little to meet Draco's lips with his own.
"Aren't you allowed to use magic then whilst on probation?" Harry asked over breakfast.
"No. I finish it next week and can get my wand back. Actually it's my mothers wand but, after the war, before the ministry took hers and father's money, she bought a new one."
"They took all of your money?"
"Seventy five percent of it. Father moaned about them taking the money saying we will have to live like the Weasley's, said he'd rather be dead. Mother snapped at him telling him he was lucky to be alive. I don't know why he needs money, it's not like he can use it where he now is."
"If he is in Azkaban, why moan about how to live?"
"That's how the Malfoy's are, how they live, how they act; we've always had money and now we don't. As father sees it, getting sent to Azkaban does nothing to the name but losing the money does. I mean the money I have is separate but I have enough to buy my books what I will need when I return for my eighth year."
Harry smiled. "So you are coming back then?"
"Yes. I asked McGonagall and she said she sees no problem in me returning to finish my school year. What about you?"
"I'm coming back."
"Good. I won't exactly be popular when I come back. I need someone to look after me." Draco said, smiling when Harry laughed.
"I think you are big enough to look after yourself."
"You don't want anything to happen to this gorgeous face do you?"
"Vain much?"
"Obviously you have fallen for me with my looks."
"I haven't. Your looks are just a bonus."
"Then what?"
"You have changed Draco. Since we have been talking, the Draco I have been seeing is someone completely different to who I saw at school."
"Harry, who you have seen these last few weeks is who I am. How I acted in school was just that, an act. Who you have seen these past few weeks is the real me."
Harry stood up a little and leaned over the table, Draco meeting him halfway for a kiss.
It was that night when Harry walked into Severus' old office at just the right time he thought as Draco was there barefoot and shirtless and was just starting to push his trousers down, when they had dropped and he placed his hands on his boxer briefs to pull them down Harry cleared his throat to announce his presence.
Why he did that he had no idea as Draco carried on and pulled his boxer briefs down without taking his eyes off Harry and stepped out of them. "Yes?"
"You sleep naked?"
Draco smirked. "If it is warm I do. But I am about to head and shower."
"Oh I will leave you to it." he said and turned to leave.
"Harry?"
Harry stopped in mid turn. "Yes?"
"What is it you came here for?"
"You can say no."
"No."
Harry laughed. "It's just that when I wake up from a nightmare, after going back to sleep I am awake again not long after as I have another nightmare. I was just wondering... I mean that settee can't be comfortable and I..."
"Harry?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you. I will have a shower and be with you. Just so long as you know I won't be wearing anything as it is warm, even though we are in the dungeons." Draco said, smiling when Harry blushed.
"That's fine. I'll just shower myself and see you in bed." he said and left but not before he let his eyes drop.
Harry was standing in the shower, letting the water hit his back. He washed his hair and body and stood there, letting the water wash over him and rinse the suds off him. He closed his eyes and Draco standing naked in front of him came to mind.
Harry took his cock in hand, he used his thumb and finger and twisted the head, pushing the foreskin back and playing with the slit; his head dropped back as he moved his hand further down and slowly began to stroke his cock, he used his free hand to cup his balls, rolling them between his fingers he spread his feet wider apart.
Harry jumped when a hand ran down his back. "Is it me you are picturing Harry?"
Harry opened his eyes and saw Draco stood there just outside the shower as naked as him.
"Is it?"
"Yes." Harry breathed as he let go of himself and pulled Draco into the shower with him and kissed him fiercely, his arms going around the blond's neck, moving his hands so his fingers tangled themselves in the wet locks.
Draco let his hands slowly roam down the brunet's back, one hand cupped his arse whilst his right hand moved around to the front taking both of their cocks in hand and started to pump them both.
"Oh Draco." Harry moaned, his head dropping back which had Draco moving his head forwards and attach his lips to Harry's neck.
Harry used his left hand to hold Draco's head in place as his right hand went straight to the blonds arse where he squeezed which urged the blond on and his hand got faster and faster.
"Oh Draco I'm close." Harry moaned when he felt Draco's finger circling his entrance, his teeth biting into his neck before soothing it with his tongue, Harry came with a cry of Draco's name and spilled all he had over the blond's hand and over both of their stomachs with Draco following, moaning Harry's name.
After getting their breaths back they pulled apart and let the water wash away their come.
"How long were you standing there?" Harry asked as he picked his wand up and dried them both.
"Not long. I came in and saw you weren't there and heard the shower running so thought I would come and look, only fair I think seeing as you have seen me naked."
"I kept my eyes shoulder level." Harry lied as he got into bed.
"Liar. I saw your eyes drop. Seeing you like that I couldn't help but touch you and make myself known."
Harry rolled over and on top of Draco. "I'm glad you did. Night Draco." he said, kissing the blond before laying his head on the blond's chest.
Draco roamed his hand down Harry's back and stopped when he reached his arse getting a moan and a thrust from the brunet. "Night Harry."
What do you think?
