Drarry; A Comfort Story

Chapter 9

Harry's POV

I wake up in my new, beloved boyfriend's arms. I'm cuddling into his chest, and we have a blanket covering us. It's very warm. Draco is kissing my head.

"Harry, come on, wake up." He coos.

"But I'm so warm and comfortable.." I find myself cuddling deeper into his chest.

"Let's get ready for breakfast, it will begin in 25 minutes." Draco kisses my head again.

"Fine."

We get up, and I head for the shower first, because Draco takes forever.

I get out and use a drying charm, then change as Draco goes for his shower.

A few minutes later, he finishes dressing, and we go to breakfast. He grabs my hand and our fingers interlock.

He lets go as we seperate to go to our seperate tables.

I sit down next to Hermione and across from Ron. He has a sour look on his face.. Wonder what that's about.

He looks up from his food when I sit down. He swallows his food and looks me straight in the eye.

"I still don't like how you're dating Malfoy. I will accept your choices, but that doesn't mean I like them. I will break his spine if he breaks your heart."

"Ron, once you get to know him, he isn't the git we thought he was. He is actually very sweet. I don't think he would break my heart unless he was forced. Trust me, and him. Please, Ron." I calmly reply.

Hermione looks at me and she smirks. I knew she accepts me, and that I can go to her for anything.

Instead of hurting Draco or constantly picking arguments like I know Ron will, she'll try her best to befriend him.

Though I've been friends with Ron slightly longer, I trust her more. I trust her a little more than Draco, for the moment. I most definitely trust him more than Ron, though.

Since it's the weekend, I quickly finish my food and went back to the Room of Requirement.

My room looks just like how Draco had set it up before, just with Gryffindor colors. I sit on the bed and Draco comes in a few minutes later.

He sits next to me and pulls me close. He kisses my forehead, and I can't help smiling. He plants his lips to mine and with no hesitation, I kiss back. It's short and passionate, just the way I like them.

"I love you Harry."

He cuddles me close, putting his arms around my waist and pulls me into his lap.

"I love you too, Draco."

He pulls me closer, if that's even possible. He kisses my forehead and rocks me gently. That, and his warmth, is making me quite drowsy.

I close my eyes, and I fall asleep.

I wake up a few hours later, he's kissing my forehead again.

"Is that always how you're going to wake me up?"

"Why? Don't you like it?"

"I do, I just want to make sure it continues."

He chuckles, and kisses my forehead again.

"I need to go Harry, can you get off my lap please?"

"Aww, where you going?"

"Pansy is probably going to send the Ministry out looking for me because she doesn't know where I am. I'll be right back and we can cuddle more, okay?"

"Okay."

I get off his lap and he kisses my cheek and leaves.

I sit there on the bed, bored out of my mind. Out of nowhere, I suddenly think of The Battle and my past life at home.

I curl up into a ball putting my head in my knees, and my arms around my shins. I feel hot tears run down my cheeks.

'Why was my life like that?

'What did Voldemort have against my family?'

'What did he have against me?'

I suddenly hear the door open.

I look up and see Draco running towards me. He's immediately by my side.

"Shh, Harry. It's okay. He's gone. It's all in the past."

I dry my tears, embarrassed, and I look up at him.

I don't even think Hermione has ever been able to calm me with in a few seconds. He sits next to me.

"Now, I need you to do something for me, okay?"

I nod.

"Smile."

I give a weak smile and he comes behind me and pulls me into his lap.

I place my head into his chest, and once again I started falling asleep as he rocks me. It's most comfortable. I can hear him humming softly. Before I know it, I fall asleep in his arms.

Draco's POV

I rock Harry gently and hum as he falls asleep.

He's adorable.

I kiss his head as I listen to his steady breathing. I know he has barely ever gotten sleep, and it warms me to know that he trusts me enough to be able to comfortably fall asleep in my arms.

He has been doing a lot better lately, since that day I found him in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.

He has been eating more, and getting more sleep.

I notice him start to stir uncomfortably. I listen to him as it occurrs to me that he's having a nightmare.

"No, no, don't hurt me again. Uncle Vernon, please!"

He starts to sob. I can't bare it.

"Shh, Harry. It's alright. I'm here now. No one can hurt you."

I kiss his head and he smiles a tad. I hope he's okay.

I look up at the time and notice it's about time for lunch.

I have to make sure Harry eats.

"Harry, come on, it's about time for lunch."

I keep kissing his head until he opens his eyes and yawns.

"Okay, okay, I'm getting up." He gives me a small smile.

I give him a quick kiss on his soft lips, before he gets up. He stands, and walks over to the door, waiting for me.

I stand up chuckling, and we walk out together. We enter the Great Hall, and go to our separate tables to eat.
