THE HOTEL SUITE

Lily was dreaming of her family living peacefully in a large mansion. The elves Mikey and Minnie were serving food as they celebrated Harry's birthday.

She was about to give her present to Harry, when a large shout from the adjacent room broke through her sleep.

"NOO!!!" Came the voice.

She immediately threw the duvet and rushed to Harry's room, only to find the subject thrashing in his sleep.

"Oh hell" She muttered as she ran to his bed, settling on the edge and shook him.

"Harry, Harry, you're just having a nightmare, sweetie" She cooed softly in his ears.

But Harry didn't hear her as he continued to battle with the sheets and shielded himself from whatever it was haunting him.

"Harry, come on, wake up, son" Lily muttered in his ears. She wished she knew Leglimency, then she could pry into his dream and pull him out.

She caught his hands in hers, caressing the back of his palm with her thumbs.

"Harry, honey, wake up, everything is alright, you're safe, and you're good." She shouted this time not too loud but still harder than before.

This seems to do break the barrier as Harry woke up gasping.

"Mum" Were the first words that came out of his mouth as he jumped on Lily's waiting arms and hugged her tightly.

But the hug end too soon for her good, Lily thought as he broke it off and pulled himself away from her, in an apologizing position.

"I'm so sorry to wake you up, ma'am" He said.

"What? Harry, there is nothing to apologize for. It's okay to have nightmares." She said, hugging him. Then lowered down her voice, "to tell you the truth, I have them sometimes too".

"Really, you have nightmares" He asked.

"Mhh hmm" She nodded to him.

Harry looked at her, it was very hard to believe her, adults simply don't have nightmares, or it at least was his theory.

"What do you do? To make them stop?" He asked.

"Well, I hold something dear to me close and snuggle into it. It makes me feel that I'm not alone"

"Ca.... Ca.... Can....can.. I mean... If it's.... Not trouble" He stuttered.

"What is it, sweetie? You can say it to me" Said Lily.

"Will you stay with me, here?" He questioned.

"Ohh Harry, of course, I'd love to if you want me to." She said.

"Oh, yes, I want you to" He said almost immediately.

"Well then let's get you some sleep" She scooted closer under the covers.

Harry, a few seconds later, felt his arms move around and wrap themselves around her and snuggled close to her while she hummed a tune to him.

In a such a sweet, loving embrace, it took no time for Harry to fall asleep. Lily too was on the apex of the sleep interface when a soft voice filled her senses with elation.
