24. good night

Very rarely did Percy sleep well. He was always awake into the small hours of the morning reading or writing or worrying. There were nights when Oliver became so worried about the boy that he drugged Percy into sleep. Percy never suspected his dorm mate would ever drug him, and he attributed his sudden fatigue to having never slept well, which was not outside the realm of possibility.

Oliver found that he had to drug Percy less a month into their last year at Hogwarts. Percy had found a new drug to help him with his insomnia. Oliver did not know of this until one morning he was brave enough to ask Percy if he had slept well. Percy smiled lazily and declared that he had a good night. Oliver was not pleased to discover that Percy was not alone in his bed. Oliver was actually disgusted with Marcus Flint being in Percy's bed, but it had helped Percy sleep, and that was what ultimately mattered.
