"Just because you've never been loved, Sev, doesn't mean love is gross." Draco commented, making Ron uncontrollably laugh.

"If I could put up with you, Draco, you would have detention with me for the rest of your life." Snape spoke, glaring at him, "Weasley, if you know what is good for you, you should shut your face."

Immediately, Ron did so. Snape was intimidating at the best of times.

"I am so tired." Harry randomly spoke out.

"Then go sleep," Hermione said as if it were obvious.

"Good idea." Harry agreed, yawning.

"No, you cannot sleep." Snape butt in.

Harry glared at him, "Snape, with all due respect, I think I deserve a couple hours sleep, no?"

Severus sighed, "of course you do, I do not deny such thing. However, do you think it would be wise to keep you in the infirmary overnight?"

Harry furrowed his brows, "I am injured and tired. Yes."

"Merlin help me," Severus breathed out, "definitely not, you nitwit. You keep forgetting that you are not supposed to be alive. Allowing you to sleep here the night would be putting your life in jeopardy once more."

"Oh, that makes sense." Harry spoke, "where will I sleep, then?"

"Yes it makes sense, idiot." Snape responded.

"You will be sleeping in the Room of Requirement, as of tonight." Albus informed.

"Alone?" Harry asked sadly.

"Presumably, yes. However, if you wish someone be there with you, I am sure that can be arranged." Albus said.

"Great. Can Draco stay with me?" Harry asked.

"Certainly. If he wishes, then so be it." He finished.

Harry looked over to Draco, "do you want to-?"

"Yes." Draco answered before Harry finished.

"Well then, it is settled. Draco will be sleeping with Harry in the Room of Requirement." Albus spoke in his soft voice.

Harry smiled, "cool,"

"Ouch, watch it." Harry complained. He and Draco were walking to the Room of Requirement.

"Shut up. It's not my fault you can barely walk." Draco spoke, clutching Harry's arm tighter so he is stable.

"I think you'll find, it partly is." Harry said coldly.

Draco cleared his throat awkwardly, "yeah, sorry about that."

"You should be. That shit hurt." Harry spoke.

Draco cracked a smile, "I can assure you, love, that it won't happen again."

"Thank Merlin's wrinkly arse, then." Harry said, causing Draco to laugh.
