Cherish the night
Drake made his way to the room he shared with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. He reached out for the doorknob but stopped in mid-reach when he heard Goyle's voice thru the door. "I don't like Drake, he shouldn't be in Slytherin. What on earth makes you like him? " He heard Draco sigh "I just do, do I need a reason?" Apparently he did because Crabbe answered him "You fancy him, don't you?" at this point Drake had heard enough and saves Draco by entering the room.
The three looked up from where they had all been sitting on their trunks but Drake paid no attention to them. He just walked over to the bed where his belongings stood and pulled his PJ's out. He pulled the curtains close around him and puts them on. Draco watched the bed intently, he was still holding Teardrop and she seemed to get whiny which must mean that she wanted Drake.
Draco slowly walked across the room to Drake's bed, fully aware that his two 'friends' where looking at him. He reached out to the curtain but Drake emerge wearing a gray shirt that said: 'zzzz off I'm sleeping' and a pair of silk light blue boxers with chocobo (a/n: check out a final fantasy page, I'm not explaining). "Thanx." He said as he took Teardrop from Draco and disappears back into his bed only to reappear a few seconds later. "Goodnight Draco" and them he was gone again.
"Strange." Goyle whispered and Crabbe nodded in agreement. Draco gave them a discussed look and disappeared into his own bed. "You don't think I was right do you?" Crabbe asked but Goyle only pulled up his shoulders and they both got to bed thinking that whatever was up with Draco was his problem.
Draco stuck his head out the curtain 45 minutes later. He had tried to get to sleep but he couldn't. Drake had seemed upset when he had came in and he couldn't stop worrying about. He sneaked across the room and pulled the curtain to Drake's bed open. Drake laid there, lost in sleep. He had kicked all the bedding off of him and his shirt had been discarded to make a bed for Teardrop at the foot end of the bed; so he laid there now , on his stomach, almost naked to the night air.
Draco sat down next to Teardrop who was wide awake and tangling herself up in Drake's shirt. Draco picked her up and untangled her from the T-shirt. "hello girl." He whispered to her and gives her a kiss on her forehead. She looked at him with her brown eyes and then lifted her head and howled. Draco's eyes widen and he tries to quite her. Drake turns over on his back and Draco stiffens. -What would Drake think if he wakes up?- Draco wondered but Drake just yawned and muttered: "Not tonight Teardrop I'm tired" in his sleep.
Draco sighed in relive and lifted Teardrop up to eye level. "Do you want him to be mad at me?" He whispered but apparently that was her idea because she gave another howl. This woke Drake up. He sat up and yawned. He sat up, eyes still closed and spoke tiredly "Okay girl, come here." He rubs his eyes and jumped when he saw Draco.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here." Draco said, glad that it was dark so Drake couldn't see him blush. "What are you doing here?" Drake asked, now wide awake. "Um I came to check on Teardrop." Draco lied. They sat there for a long time in silence until Drake picked up a bottle from the bedside table.
"Do you want to feed her?" He asked Draco, holding out the bottle. "Sure" He took the bottle and started feeding her. "So are you alright? Slytherins can be pretty mean." Draco looked up from Teardrop "Yeah, I was thinking that I might be better of in Gryffindor, I'm sorry I don't want to leave you and Kelly, but I can't stay here."
Draco felt like he had been crushed but he understood that Drake didn't fit in. "Could you take care of Kelly? I don't think they like her much." Draco's eyes meets Drake's "I would do anything for you."
Soon after Draco returned to his bed and Drake held Teardrop to his chest. He smiled happily and lied back. "Did you hear that Teardrop? He would do anything for me?" and he went to sleep again happily.
