The corridor outside the potions room was cold. A harsh chill prowled the castle, crawling at corners and whimpering at windows. The only noise a drip drip drip of a tap, and the cold wind outside. The corridor was not empty though. Frozen to the spot , embraced by invisibility was Harry Potter. His face showed no sign of conflict, but his thoughts were wild. So wild that even he could not follow them, and his minds voice appeared to be speaking Japanese.

He did not know how long he stood there, frozen to the spot, all he was aware of was the sound of Mrs Norris and the instinct that he should get back to his room. Walking stiffly and quietly, he made his way out of the dungeons.

By the time Harry made it up to the Griffindor common room, his thoughts made more sense, but still seemed as illogical. Walking into the warm, brightly lit room Harry noticed another in the room. This individuals red hair rivalled the fierceness of the room and his freckles made him appear a human dot to dot. He was currently snuggled deep into a chair by the fire, a large book in his lap, and his glasses perched on his nose.

Walking up to the other boy , Harry asked ;

"What are you doing up so late Percy?"

Said boy looked up, regarding the other for the first time, before replying "I could ask the same as you. And don't think I did not notice you did not come down from the dorms…Where have you been?"

Casting a glance at the clock on the wall, Harry was shocked to realise that it was 12:49 in the morning.

"I was just walking around. Mind if I join you ?" Harry asked, sitting down in the opposite chair.

The other boy just shrugged.

"So what are you doing up? Don't tell me you have not done all your homework?" Harry joked, pulling his legs underneath him.

Percy smiled.

"No . I have not seen Oliver all day. Normally he lets me know if he is going to be gone all day and night, so I am getting a little worried,"

Harry smiled and nodded. Percy and Oliver were the only two people in their room, and often knew each other schedules. He did wonder where Oliver was thought…It must have been hours since he and Draco parted way…

Just at this time, the entrance open up, and in walked the missing boy, in a slightly erratic fashion. Strolling into the room, eyes slightly glazed over, Oliver noticed the other two boys and slurred out

"I am shooooo pished."

"Yes we can see that. You could have told me you were staying up all night! I was worried! And all that was wrong is you went out and got smashed!" Percy all but shrieked standing up and walking towards the other boy.

Oliver had the grace to look ashamed. His smile lost all the happiness associated with drunkenness, and he looked at the ground. Harry stayed quite and out of the way.

"I am shorry Persh. Didn't plan ith. Jush needed to get away. Didn't want to worry youh Persh, never want to do anyshing to hutsh you…" Oliver mumbles, still not looking at the red haired boy and wobbling on his feet.

Percy only sighed.

"Harry, give me a hand to help Oliver up to the room."

Each of the boys took an arm and slowly made their way up the winding stairs . After they had finally conquered the mountain, they entered the older boys room, and dumped his on his bed, still mumbling 'Sorry Persh'

"You may as well go to bed Harry. Don't worry, I can handle Oliver," he told the dark-haired boy.

Harry nodded and turned to walk out of the room. Just before he closed the door behind him, Harry cast a glance back, and caught an odd sight.

Percy was sitting on the Captains bed, pulling the covers up over the boy, and tucking him in ,whispering soothing words to stop the mumbled 'I'm sorry's".

Harry smiled, and walked out the room, closing the door behind him.

If Harry had stayed a few moments longer, he would have seen the red-haired boy lean forward and press his lips to Oliver forehead.

As a result, he also missed courage's push.

"Harry…"

The voice rang clear and precise through Harry's mind and suddenly his entire world became the silver figure in front of him.

The blond was perfect. His sliver-spun hair glowed in the eerie light, and his flawless skin seemed ageless. His eyes a endless storm , his lips a tempting feast, and the feeling Harry had been carrying around in his gut burst. Reaching out, he grabbed the slender boy around the waist, pulled him flush against his body and ravished his lips. He became aware of slender arms wrapping themselves around his neck and hands threading there way into his hair.

Pulling away for breath, Harry gazed down into the pale splendour that was Draco Malfoy. His eyes were endless, his lips bruised and swollen. He was beautiful. Draco untangled his hands and stepped away from the boy who lived, and began to unbutton his rumpled shirt. Just before he got the last button undone , Draco looked up and said,

"My grandfather once told " Courage is all about making your dreams a reality". How brave are you Harry?"

At that point Harry woke up.

It was also at that point that Harry decided, today is the day. It was also at that point that a loud lusty moan rang through the dorms, coming from Oliver and Percy's room…
