Nothing else was to happen that night, so everyone went to sleep. Everyone but Harry. Or so he thought...
Draco also struggled with his sleep that night, which was unusual, definitely. Thoughts rushed around his mind; why didn't Harry eat at the Feast? Should I have sat with him on the train? Why did I blush when he touched my hand? It was an accident for crying out loud! Why does he make me feel weird?,,,
It wasn't the same for Harry. He had always *;)* had a hard time sleeping. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time he had a good night's sleep. Harry wasn't scared of where he was, but the people. He hated that the only others he knew were bad to him. He hated the dark. He didn't like how ominous it was. A dursley could just sneak up on him and break another one of his ribs at any moment. It hurt him to even imagine the pain he'd endured in the past, never mind what was to come.
It wasn't long before Harry grew bored, and started to shift his position. This, strangely, triggered another to stir.
"Harry? You awake?" It was Draco. Harry heard shuffling, only to see a scruffy boy in a large jumper open his curtains a little and sit on his bed. "What are you doing up so late" Draco yawned.
"I guess it's just weird being here. Somewhere warm and safe. I'm not really used to the feeling of in honest," It all just fell out of his mouth.
"Wait, why? Were you not safe before you got here?!" Concern invaded Draco's voice. Why was he so concerned?
"Can I trust you with my truth,Draco?"
"Yes, you can trust me with everything. Just tell me what is keeping you up!" Draco moved forward, to the point where Harry could feel His breath.
"When my parents died, the dursley family took me in. It was awful there. I was treated like a slave. They abused me, and I would go without food for days on end. It's why I'm so small. I got bigger robes to try to hide it, but it hasn't really worked. I hate being alone, but I've grown to it. I don't think I've ever actually felt love and it hurts me when I look around to see everyone so happy. They have felt love. It just hurts."
