Harry entered his dorm, a glare on his face.
Then Ron came in.“Is it true you are dating Malfoy?” Ron asked. Harry shot him a withering look.
“Well wouldn’t you like to know.” Harry spat venomously. “You and everyone else in this damn castle. Just leave me alone!” Harry dashed out of his dorm, leaving a concerned Ron behind.
He was fuming and walked to the Slytherin dormitory. He slowly knocked on Draco’s dorm, his hand shaking slightly. Draco opened the door and looked surprised to see Harry standing there.
“Are you okay?” Harry walked in not saying anything. “Harry-“ He stopped when Harry turned around looking furious, his eyes full of tears. Harry’s breathing was heavy. Draco reached out his hand slowly.
He walked towards Harry and took his hand, then pulled him into a hug. Harry started crying.
“It’s okay. You’re safe here. What- what happened love?”
“I just need a break…” Harry said still crying. Draco looked concerned but didn’t press for anymore information.
“It’s okay.” Draco held Harry close and planted a light kiss on his forehead. “You’re okay now. No one can get in here. It’s okay…” Draco lead Harry over to his bed, still holding him close. “I won’t let anyone in.” Draco reassured him.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Ron’s voice called out.
“Draco? Is Harry in there?”
“Is Harry here?” Draco whispered to Harry.
“No…” Harry said softly.
“Nope!” Draco called, cradling Harry in his arms. “Try… Blaise’s dorm!”
“Okay! Thanks!” Ron called. The two boys listened to his footsteps get farther and farther away.
“Thanks…” Harry mumbled.
“Of course.” Draco said, a protective edge to his voice. “Are you feeling any better?” Harry shook his head and Draco frowned.
“Rest.” He said. Harry nods thankfully and leans against Draco. He falls asleep quickly. Draco runs a hand through Harry’s thick poofy hair. He would ask what happened later. Harry could sleep for now.
