    A soft tapping of running foot steps fill the halls as Harry leads Draco through paths stopping and crossing halls occasionally. They were on the hall leading to the Slytherin dorm when a hiss from Mrs. Norris stops their path. Quickly ,Draco was the first to react this time, he pulled Harry back a few steps and into a secret wall entrance.

    "What the-?" Harry's eyes scan the room as if looking at some magical unicorn, not that that would be a surprise he's seen one before. Though it was dead and bleeding, still. "Where are we?" He silently asks.

"Its a storage room..I think"

"You think?" Harry turns back to Draco.

" yeah. This is actually where I was heading to be honest." Draco turns on his heel and looks up and around the room. His eyes showed how much he loved the room.

"Then why we're you so far out from the Slytherin dorm?"

"Oh uh I had a thing to do with Professor Snape.." Draco side look to Harry and rubs his hand on his neck nervously.

   "Oh what was up? Did you get in trouble?~" Harry softly questioned and teased taking a small step toward Draco.

   "No. He's like an uncle to me so don't push it Pottah." The sudden harshness in Draco's voice surprised harry.

    "Yeah better not right."  Harry's voice had coldness to it, the two had just begun getting used to the other and that sharp tone, like a knife, was back in their voices and eyes again.

    "How do you....deal with you know the whole thing.?"

    "The what?"

    "The whole..war thing. I mean you died and I..tried to kill you, kill your friends, Dumblebor And sold you out and-"

   "You didn't sell me out, what are you talking about?" Harry took another step towards Draco, who know turned himself to face away.

   "Maybe not but.. you know what never mind forget it. When do you think-!!"  Harry slid his hand onto Draco's shoulder tuning him slightly as to see Draco's cheek.

   "Look do you wanna talk or not cause we have about 10 minutes before Filch leaves these halls." Draco tuned to look at Harry swating his arm off.

    "Why ten?"

   "Mrs. Norris alerted his so he's gonna walk these halls at least twice. And slowly. That's about ten minutes." Harry explained easier the expected.

   "How do you know all this? And a real answer this time pottah." Draco demanded as he turned to face Harry and crossed his arms.

   "I don't like to stay in bed at night. You asked how I deal with it. I don't. I have nightmares so I can't sleep very much which leads to wandering the corridors and me allowing Hermione to study me to death. My panic attacks make it hard to focus and I can hardly eat anymore. Annoying as it is, it's as simple as that." Harry shrugs off the question as thought it was really that simple.

  "So..you don't sleep or eat?-"  the rooms secret door creaks and cracks cutting Draco off. Filch knew about the room. Draco pulls Harry down luckily the boys had walked further into the room then just the entrance and there was a table a couple feet away. Not that it helped much.

   "I saw that! Who's there your in big trouble." Filches scrappy voice and grumbled chuckle echoed in the room. Draco scrunched his face in anger and started up off the floor, though Harry gripped his wrist and pulled him back to the ground. He pushed a finger over his lips gesturing to stay quiet. Harry reached into his rob and pulled out..nothing. Draco looked confused extremely confused, Harry unraveled the item revealing a cloak. And at that, Draco's eyes widened.
