(POV Draco)

Reading A Story

I walked down the floor with the book under my arm. I desperately hoped that the plan would work. And if not I would need some time to get up with a new one.

I knocked on the door to his room and unsurprisingly didn´t get an answer. I stepped inside after a short moment and closed the door quietly after me.

"Hello, Potter." Maybe I should start calling him Harry. After all we would be together for quiet some time from now on.

"I brought my favorite book with me as I thought you have to be quite bored. And as I have so much time I will read to you, is that okay?" No reaction. I pulled over a chair for myself next to the bed and sat down, placing the book on my legs.

"Are you cold? I want you to be comfortable before we begin.", I asked and of course got no reaction, but the room was pretty cold so I light up the fire-place with a spell and got Harry a second blanket.

"Here, like this you won´t freeze to death while I read to you, Harry." As I said his name, I thought I saw just for little tiny moment, that he reacted with a surprised look, but could have been my imagination.

"There now enough of that. Let´s start.", I opened the book and started to read, "Once upon a time there was a great warlock named Merlin. He worked as a magician for Uther Pendragon, but was also his dear friend..."

I kept on reading about Merlin. Of course there were much more stories about the great Merlin then in the Muggle world. The magic folk loved the stories of one of the most powerful magicians in history as even though he was a warlock did very human mistakes and also fell in love like everybody else.

Harry was sitting in his bed and I was sure that he was listening to me telling the endless stories. He even moved a bit forward when there was an exciting adventure. I only had to stop a few times to eat or drink something or when Severus had to give Harry his potions. It was almost sad when it was too late to continue reading, but I got rewarded by Harry anyway.

"... and that´s the end for that story. We will continue tomorrow if you want, Harry?" I looked up and took in a breath, when Harry smiled. Not a big brilliant smile, just a small one that didn´t reach his eyes yet. Finally he was reacting to something!

"As I see you like me reading to you, I will bring something new tomorrow. Sleep tight Harry." Harry went back to showing no reaction, but that was okay, maybe tomorrow he would show me more emotions. It would be a long hard way for him to go back to how he was before this summer.

I walked out of his room with a big smile on my face. I was looking forward to tomorrow and maybe Harry would smile for me again.
