Harry crawled back under the covers and called his dad's name. He saw the mirror light up and Sirius was sleepily saying, "He's in the toilet, sweetie, he'll be right out. You alright?"
"I had a dream," he said softly. His voice was thick with saliva as he tried not to cry, "And now Draco hates me."
James appeared next to Sirius, "What's gong on?"
"I had a dream and it was nice and Draco loved me and it was so nice and we were in a little apartment of our own. And then I woke up and I'd been touching Draco so he saw it."
"Why was he in your bed?" asked James.
"Because it was past curfew so he was just gonna stay. But he saw my dream and thought I was trying to seduce him but I wasn't. And then he kissed me really hard to prove that he didn't want me and to make fun of me. And it wasn't nice because it hurt and he didn't mean it like a kiss so I bit his tongue just to get him to stop." He pulled at the edge of the comforter and felt ashamed of how babyish he was.
James sighed, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, the first time I kissed Sirius he vomited for a solid half hour afterwards."
"All I wanted was to be his friend. The dream was just a part of what Dumbledore showed me. I wasn't fantasizing."
"Harry, baby, do you want me to come get you?" asked his dad and he was already getting up.
"No, I just wanted to tell you, 'cause I promised I would and I didn't wanna be a liar."
"Okay, Har, why don't you just calm down and get some sleep. You can talk to Draco tomorrow."
But he thought of the anger in those eyes and the force of the mouth and he shook his head. "I don't want to talk to him. I don't ever want to see him."
"Alright," agreed James, "it's fine for you to feel that way. He hurt your feelings."
And Harry shook his head again. "It would have hurt my feelings if he just left but he kissed me and that makes it worse. I feel ashamed and unclean."
