"No... No!" Draco spun fiercely.

Harry was awakened by Draco's shouts.

"No! Please no!"

Ron slowly sat up. "What is going on?" He asked sleepily.

"Draco has a nightmare." Harry sat up and gently shook Draco. "Draco love, wake up." He said softly.

But that only seemed to make it worse.

Harry stopped trying to shake Draco. "Draco, it's alright." He said softly.

But Draco didn't wake up.

"Harry, he'll wake the whole house!" Ron said.

"I know, but he's not waking up!" Harry said.

"Try something different!"

"Draco, sweetheart, I need you to wake up, everything is fine."

Draco whimpered and tossed.

"What now?" Ron asked.

"I think I know something," Harry leaned forward and pressed his lips Draco's, kissing him gently.

Draco stopped tossing and pulled Harry closer after a few seconds.

"Hi love, you alright?" Harry said with a smile. "You gave us quite the scare."

"I... I just had a nightmare about my dad... What if he comes looking for me? What if he punishes Dobby for helping me escape?"

"Draco, if he comes here or wherever you are at the time, I'll always be there to protect you. I promise. And he's never going to punish Dobby because he won't find out that he helped you, don't worry. Everything will be alright."

"Okay..." Draco said weakly.

"Hey love, look at me."

Draco did as he was asked.

"You're safe now. You don't have to worry anymore. Your father can't just come and get you, he can't."

"I'm not sure about that..."

"Harry's right," Ron said. "If your father comes here to get you, he has to get past us first. You're one of us now, whether you like it or not. And a strong characteristic of this family is protecting each other. If he tries to get to you, he will deal with us, all of us."

Harry nodded in agreement.

Draco smiled, feeling a lot better. "Thank you Ron, that really means a lot."

"Anytime Draco, that's what his family is for." Ron smiled. "Okay, let's go back to sleep, it's late."

"Yeah, good idea." Harry said. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Ron and Draco replied.

Ron laid down and went to sleep almost immediately.

Draco laid his head on Harry's chest, listening to his heartbeat, until he fell asleep.

Harry kept his arms protectively around Draco and soon fell asleep too.

"Harry! Draco! Wake up!" Hermione called. She knocked on the door of Harry and Ron's room.

"Ssshhhh! Don't!" Ron came running to her, he had been awake for some time. "Harry and Draco didn't get much sleep last night, Draco had nightmares."

"But it's time to have breakfast." Hermione said.

"I'll go inside and see if they're awake, okay?" Ron kissed Hermione and went in to his room. "Hermione, you have to see this." He said whispered when he was inside.

Hermione silently entered the room. "Aww," She cooed softly.

Harry was laying on his back, arms around Draco protectively, and Draco was laying with his head on Harry's chest, arms around Harry's waist, snuggled close to him.

"This is so cute." Ginny cooed silently as she came in too.

Hermione went to Ron's desk and grabbed Harry's camera.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked softly.

"I have to take a picture of this, Harry will love it." Hermione took a picture of Harry and Draco.

The sound woke Draco up and he slowly sat up.

"Good morning," Hermione said. "Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning," Draco answered softly. "Not really I had a few nightmares, but Ron and Harry were there to calm me. We'd better not wake Harry earlier than necessary, he slept much less than Ron and me."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wake him up," Ginny said. "We have to go for breakfast and we have a few things to discuss."

Draco nodded. He turned to Harry. "Harry, Harry sweetheart, wake up." He said softly.

Harry opened his eyes slowly and moaned softly as he tucked his head under his pillow because of the light. "Dray, it's too early, I'm tired..." He whined.

"I know love, but we have to go for breakfast, we still have some things to discuss."

Harry groaned again.

"Come on, get up." Draco leaned over Harry.

"Noo..." Harry groaned.

"Yes you have to, come on." Draco took the pillow off Harry's head.

Harry pulled the blanket over his head.

"No no, I didn't think so, I know you want to sleep but we have to get up." Draco pulled the blanket away. "You go ahead, we'll be right there." He said to the others.

Ron, Hermione and Ginny left the room.

"Come on love, I'll gave you a kiss if you get up." Draco whispered as he hovered with his lips over Harry's.

Harry leaned up, trying to kiss Draco, but Draco outsmarted him and knew this was going to happen.

"No, no, first you need to get up." Draco got out of bed and got changed.

Harry climbed out of bed, put his arms around Draco, who was standing with his back to Harry, and put his head on his shoulder. "I'm out of bed, do I get a kiss now?"

"Get dressed first, and you might get a kiss."

Harry pouted, but went to change anyway.

"Do I get a kiss now?" He asked when he was dressed.

"No, we're already late, the others are waiting for us." Draco said with a playful smirk on his face. He went to the door, but before he had a chance to actually open the door, Harry had already turned him around and pinned him against the door.

"I think they can live without us for a little longer." Harry leaned in, their lips barely an inch apart.

"Hmm, you think so..." Draco muttered softly before slowly kissing Harry.

Harry kissed him sweetly and patiently back, wanting to enjoy every second of it. He slowly wrapped his arms around Draco's neck.

After a while, the kiss got tastier, both of them no longer able to hold back. After not seeing each other for so long, their need for each other was more intense than before.
