Growing Love

Nightmare Lilly

Harry was stuck to Draco like glue. He would sob whenever Draco tried to let someone take him. He went back to class with Draco. Most times he sat on Draco's lap. Other times he sat next to Draco. Draco just accepted this new behaviour. The whole group did.

"Who can tell me what the difference between a werewolf and an animigus is?"

Hermione's hand shot up. She gave the answer and Snape nodded. Harry was sitting next to Draco when suddenly he jumped down off the chair and ran to the front. Snape looked at him then Blaise. Blaise shrugged unsure of what was happening.

"Sorry Professor." Draco said as he walked forward.

Harry held out a parchment towards Snape. "Fow you." He said waiting for him to take it.

Snape took the parchment and unknowingly placed it on the projector. The class gasped. Snape turned to see what they were gawking at. His eyes went wide.

"Harry did you draw that?" He asked looking at the boy now in Draco's arms.

"Was I not 'pose to. I sowwy. I so sowwy." Harry began.

Snape took Harry from Draco and the class gasped again. "Harry thank you. It's great. Don't cry please."

Harry nodded his head. "Want Dway."

Snape nodded. Snape handed harry over as the bell rang. He kept an eye on the two.

"Class dismissed." He said.

"Are you okay love?" Draco whispered in Harry's ear.

Harry shook his head in Draco's shoulder. Blaise walked over and rubbed Harry's on the back. Harry started crying. Snape was standing near the three.

"Hey love tell me what's wrong? Did Snape scare you?" Draco whispered.

Harry shook his head. Draco sighed and rocked Harry. They waited for him to talk on his own.

"No one evew wike my dwawing." Harry mumbled.

Seeming to understand Draco nodded. "These are happy tears aren't they?"

Harry nodded. "I sowwy."

"No Harry. Happy tears are good. I was just worried you were sad. Can you say thank you to Snape?"

"I want stay wif 'nape. Till food." Harry whispered.

"Ask him. Maybe he will let you stay." Draco smiled.

"Wealy? Can I stay?" Harry looked at Snape.

Snape stepped forward and held out a hand. "If you want to I wouldn't mind. As long as you behave."

Harry smiled. "I pwomise."

He reached out and Snape took him. Blaise and Draco left to their next class, Charms. After charms they were headed to transfiguration. Blaise was smiling as they went to class. Draco had a feeling he knew what the Italian was thinking.

"Have you noticed Harry hasn't left your side. And when he is upset he asks for you." Blaise nudged Draco.

Draco frowned as they entered class. Everyone was sitting when Professor Mcgonagall addressed them. She started the class then turned her attention to Blaise, Pansy and Draco.

"Where is Mr. Potter?" The whole class turned.

Blaise shrugged and looked at Draco. "Git." Draco mumbled before turning to the Professor. "He is with Professor Snape. He asked to stay after having another episode. Snape agreed."

"Are you MENTAL!" Ron yelled.

This was when the group released what Snape told them two weeks ago was true. Harry had kept the attention off them. The proof was Weasley. Up until now he hadn't said a word. He was quickly silenced. Class went on as they practiced a new spell. Mcgonagall walked up and down preventing anyone from fighting.
