Wildest Dreams

Ours

"So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours"
-Taylor Swift "Ours"

After the exciting turn of events at Hogwarts, Draco was exhausted and decided to settle into bed. His thoughts were of Severus and Harry. He never thought he would ever see his godfather again. He felt awful because of how he treated Dumbledore before he died. It was incredibly thoughtful of Dumbledore to find a way to bring Severus back. He was beyond grateful. His thoughts started to drift as sleep took over.

Suddenly, he was being nudged and someone was calling his name. He did not understand what was happening. As he slowly woke up, he realised his mother and Severus were hovering over him with a look of worry upon their faces.

He tried to gather his thoughts. "Why did you wake me up? What is happening?" He said groggily.

Severus spoke. "Draco, you were having nightmares. Your screams broke through your wards. Do you remember what you were dreaming about?"

Draco shook his head. "Vaguely but nothing clearly. I think it was during the war and when Voldemort was living here at the manor."

Narcissa hugged her son. "Draco darling I think it is best if you stay elsewhere. Perhaps with Harry? After going to to Hogwarts and Severus returning, it seems to me that it brought back bad memories and I think it would do you some good to get away for a bit." She smiled softly at her son.

Draco protested. "Mother I do not want to leave you here alone. That would not feel right." He frowned.

Narcissa stroked Draco's hair. "Darling, I am not alone. Severus is here and you can always visit. I just think you need a break. You need to heal from what you have experienced and I think being away would do you a world of good." She kissed the top of his head.

Severus nodded in agreement. "Draco your mother is right. I will send for Mister Potter." He conjured his doe patronus. "Retrieve Potter from Grimmauld Place immediately. Tell him to apparate here." His doe scampered out of the manor.

Minutes later, Harry suddenly appeared in his pajamas. "What has happened and how did I apparate directly into the Manor? Is Draco okay?" He looked worried but also very curious.

Severus smirked and stepped forward. "Ahh Mister Potter I see you have arrived. Thank you for coming. We had to wake Draco up due to the nightmares he was experiencing. And Narcissa altered the wards to enable you to come directly into the Manor rather than outside the gates. We have a solution to Draco's issue if you are willing to help."

Narcissa came forward. "Hello Harry. It is lovely to see you again. I wish it were under different circumstances. Draco is resting at the moment. Before sending for him, I was hoping to talk with you first. I was wondering if we would be possible if Draco could stay with you for awhile. I think he desperately needs a break from the manor. I would understand if that would be too much but you are the only person aside from Severus I trust with the care of my son. I know how much he means to you and I feel you would take great care of him." She smiled warmly at him.

Harry smiled back at her. "Of course, I am happy to help in whatever way you need as long as Draco agrees and feels comfortable with staying with me. I want what's best for him just as you and Snape do."

Narcissa nodded and smiled. "Thank you Harry. We appreciate your help. I will go fetch Draco. I will return shortly." She walked up the stairs leaving Harry and Severus alone.
