Harry tried to fall asleep last night, he really did, but he could not. He was at all tired last night at all. He was wide-awake and almost giddy. He also had a big, goof smile on his face. Not even Ron could have changed his mood.

"Hey Harry! What's up? You look different." Ron asked Harry as he walked into the dorm.

"I don't look different, Ron." Harry said with the grin still plastered on his face.

"What did you do?" Ron said

"Nothing, nothing at all." Harry said, the smile never leaving his face for a second.

"Who were you with?"

"You don't need to know that. And," Harry said as Ron moved to speak again. "No, it wasn't Cho. And that is all that I have to say." Harry said as he closed the curtain around his bed.

That smile had never once left his face. Well, after he closed his curtain and laid down in bed, he attempted to go to sleep. However, he could not sleep because he was not at all tired. Needless to say that when breakfast time rolled around, he was as tired as he ever was.

Because of his lack of sleep, his eyes drooped and drifted shut during Charms and Transfigurations only to have them snap open again when the teachers voices raised in their speeches. In History, Hermione kept poking him awake. In Divinations, he could not fall asleep because of all of the fumes. At lunch, he tried to drink a lot of caffeine so that he could stay awake, but it was not helping.

Now it was the last class of the day, which was Potions. YEAH! Harry jumped for joy when he realized this. It was not because he liked the class! (What are you people thinking?) Since Snape was busy mixing the potion that would be the antidote to the draught that Terena was given, he could not go to class. In addition, there was no replacement to teach the class. This meant of course that they now had a free period! YEAH!!

Harry headed down towards the lake during his free period. He sat down on the grass and leaned against the nearby tree. However, once again, no matter how hard Harry tired, he just could not fall asleep. It was torture, pure agony. Why could he not fall asleep? His eyes were burning from staying open for so long.

"Hey." A familiar voice said as the owner sat down next to him.

"Hey Draco." Harry said as he yawned.

"What's wrong? You seem tired."

"That is the understatement of the century."

"Really? How so?"

"I am so unbelievably tired. You don't understand I got absolutely no sleep last night."

"Okay then, you need to lay down."

"Now?" questioned Harry.

"Yes now." The blond one replied. Harry did as he was told. He rested his head on the Draco's leg. The grass was unusually comfortable.

"That is much better, isn't it?" Draco asked Harry.

Harry just nodded his agreement. Then Draco began to sing a song in a strange language that Harry did not understand. The song was very soothing and relaxing. Draco ran his hands through the brunette's hair. Soon Harry's eyes closed and he was finally asleep.

Later when Harry woke up, the first thing that he noticed was that Draco was asleep also. Draco's head was over on his shoulder and his hand was still on Harry's hair. The blond hair on Draco's head had leaves in it that fallen down from the tree they where leaning on.

Without moving too much, he looked up and noticed the sunset. They must have been asleep for a long time. Then it dawned on him that the potion for Terena would soon be done. Harry raised his hand and rested it on Draco's shoulder.

"Draco," Harry said gently and he shook him lightly. "Time to wake up."

"Five more minutes!" Draco mumbled.

"No, it sunset. Terena will be awake soon."

"Huh, what?" Draco said as he opened his eyes. "How long have I been sleeping? I do not remember falling asleep." Draco said again as he looked down at harry.

Harry sat up slowly and raised his hand to Draco's hair.

" I don't know. Hold on a second though. You got some leaves in your hair."

"Really? I must have been dead sleep then." Draco said as Harry pulled the leaves out of Draco's hair and tried to fix it back to its normal state.

"Okay, done. Lets go now." Harry said as he stood up and stretched.

Draco stretched and got up. Or attempted too anyway. Once he moved to get up, he instantly let out a yelp of pain and fell back down on the grass.

"Draco what's wrong?" Harry said in a worried voice.

"My leg is asleep! No I take that back. It is dead! It has ceased to be!"

"Heeheehee," Harry chuckled.

"Why must you laugh at my pain!?"

Draco mocked a pout and pretended to be hurt at Harry's laugh when he really was not that upset about it. Draco chuckled back at Harry. Harry was sad to see the pout gone. He thought that it was adorable.

"Come on now. You have to walk it off." Harry said to Draco.

Harry helped Draco up and they walked around until Draco got the feeling back in his leg.

"All better?" Harry asked.

"Yup, let us go to see my godmother!" Draco explained.

"Sure," Harry agreed.

Harry and Draco headed back to Hogwarts and headed straight to Madame Pomfery's. Once they were in that room, they walked over to the bed that had a massive amount of people around it. Among them were Remus, Faith, Dumbledore, William, Tonks, some members of the Order and of course Lucius.

" Yo! Harry, Draco! Sup? Mucho Thanks for finding our Terry here." Tonks said to them when she saw them walk in.

"No problem Tonks, no need to thank us."

"Hey look," cried a member of the order. "It's Snape!"

"Everyone move away from the bed! I need to give her the potion!" Snape said in a domineering voice.

Everyone quickly moved away, besides Lucius. Lucius stayed seated in the seat that he had. He grabbed his sister's hand and held it tightly. Snape pour the blue-colored potion into her mouth. He then tilted Terena's head and massaged her throat to help her shallow the potion. Everyone moved back to the bed and peered over to look at her. Terena's eye's fluttered, and slowly opened.
