Chapter 10 A Panicked Waking
-1A Panicked Waking
Draco woke hours later in a cold sweat as a terrified shriek erupted from deep within him and an instinctive magical shout burst from his magical core to call his dominant. Panicking Draco looked round the darkened room and tried to orient him self with the light and features.
Trembling viciously he glanced down to find silky soft white fur clenched in his fists and recognizing the rooms finally he calmed just Harry burst through the door in a flurry of black robes and hissing basilisk. Instantly terrified again at the sight of the supple thirty foot serpent Draco cried out again in fear and froze as he scrambled from the soft pillows and curled himself against the wall.
A sharply hissed curse then an order flew from Harry's mouth but Draco was far to gone by now and began to shake violently as the snake slithered from the room in a glistening wave of animated gemstone.
Striding forward Harry approached the blond at a crouch as he got nearer.
"Draco?" He asked softly. Crying the petrified blond flung himself at his dominant and wept in sheer panic as the much bigger boys arms closed around him.
"Easy baby, easy," Harry murmured. "You're okay, you're safe here. Don't worry about Zephyr; he's only a guardian Draco, only a guardian." He soothed and slowly the blond calmed into upset hiccoughs where he curled in the brunettes lap.
"Okay now baby?" Harry asked soothingly as he rubbed circles on the Slytherin's back. Nodding with a sniff Draco tried to sit up but instead Harry rolled him over till he was lying with his head in the boys lap looking up through tear stained eyes.
"Wanna tell me what scared you baby?" Harry asked. Smiling happily at the nickname from the older boy Draco nodded hesitantly after a thought then shrugged as if his reason was silly.
"Just a nightmare." He murmured. Harry cradled him closer.
"What about?" He encouraged gently. Draco shrugged.
"Storeroom." He answered softly. "Woke up and freaked. Magic went mental and summoned you, you summoned the snake and I freaked again." Harry, who was rubbing circles on the boys back, frowned slightly.
"You don't like snakes?" He asked. Draco new what was coming and dreaded it like the plague.
"No." Draco said as he curled up further in Harry's arms. Harry smiled and gently cradled the small bundle in his arms. 'Man he really is small isn't he?' Harry thought to himself and he rubbed soothing circles into his back.
"Why not?" Draco shivered.
"No reason." He lied.
"Draco," Harry's voice was low but it was a warning. "I will not tolerate lies from you. I can't help you and be a proper dominant if I don't know what's wrong with you."
"I know but I hate to think of it." Draco said starting to cry again.
"Draco? Baby let me help you. Please?" Harry said as he kissed Draco's trembling lips. 'Please let me help you.'
