Harry did not wake to pleasant thoughts the following morning. He felt comforted by the warm body wrapped around him but that wasn't enough when the memory of the following evening came back to him.

He slid out of his lovers arms carefully so not to wake him and headed towards the bathroom and turned on the shower. He removed his clothes and stepped inside allowing the pleasantly warm water wash over him letting him temporally forget his problems.

Draco was still fast asleep when Harry returned, a towel wrapped low around his waist. For the first time in a long while his thoughts were not with Severus, they were consumed entirely by Draco who lay there in his most vulnerable state.

The sleeping blonde still hadn't stirred by the time Harry had dressed and was ready for breakfast. Knowing full well that he wouldn't want to miss breakfast the Gryffindor sat on the bed and began to stroke his silky strands of blonde hair out of his eyes.

Stormy silver orbs flickered open and watched his boyfriend intently for a moment. "How are you this morning?" He asked sitting up slightly.

"Considering the events of last night I'm doing just fine, thank you for not taking advantage last night and for basically just comforting me, it meant a lot, more than you will ever comprehend."

"It was my pleasure, I love you Harry nothing will change that, just don't give up hope that in the future everything will be alright and we will be happy."

"If you had asked me not to give up hope only a month ago I properly would have told you that I had no hope to give up but now you've given that to me. You've given me my life back, you've helped me overcome lose I thought would kill me."

"Anything to help you, I'd do just about anything for you, including make you late for your first class."

Harry checked his watch and realised Draco was right. Giving him a quick kiss on the cheek he dashed off towards his classroom, leaving the blonde to laugh silently at him.
