It had been a week since Blaise started looking after Harry. He mostly skipped his afternoon classes. By the time those came around Harry was feeling overwhelmed. He would either cry his eyes out or try to hide in Blaise's robes. Harry had slept every chance he got but woke up in a panic.

Now Blaise was sitting in Transfiguration. Harry was curled in his lap sleeping. The spell they were practicing was to de-age a chicken. The class was relatively quiet as Mcgonagall walked around.

"NO!"

Everyone turned to the source of the noise. Blaise froze and looked down. Harry was crying but he was asleep. He moved to shake him when someone grabbed his hands and the class gasped.

"Don't touch him!" Neville whisper-yelled. "Just try and lay across the bench. The movement should wake him. He hates being touched when he has a bad dream I don't know when that started."

Blaise nodded shifting in his seat. He got his legs out to the side and quickly laid down. His head falling in Draco's lap. Harry whimpered and wiped his eyes. He looked around at everyone staring and tried to stop himself from crying. Blaise couldn't get up because Harry was sitting upright on his chest. He looked up at Draco for help.

"Har hun come here. Let Blaise get up." Draco reached out towards him.

Harry immediately latched onto him and let Draco lift him. Draco placed him on the opposite leg from Blaise. Blaise sat up and tried to take Harry to comfort him. Harry looked at Blaise pleading.

"No. Want Dway pwease." He then looked at Draco.

Draco nodded his head and left the class with Harry. Neville took Draco's seat and sighed.

"Alright class dismissed." Mcgonagall called.

Everyone left except for Pansy, Blaise, Hermione, Dean, Seamus and Neville. Dean patted Neville's shoulder and Seamus heaved a sigh of relief.

"Lucky you were close Neville." Dean said.

"And didn't freeze like me." Seamus chuckled.

The other three looked at them. Neville looked to his roommates for help. His heart was racing and it wouldn't slow down. Dean picked up on the look first.

"First time Harry had a nightmare. Seamus shook him awake." Dean started.

"Bloke nearly tore my arm off with the force of magic that exploded from him." Seamus finished.

Neville smiled lightly. "He's a really light sleeper, but he has no control over his magic when he's asleep. Due to his family he's always on edge. So his magic is always looking to protect him."

Seamus shrugged. "Nightmares bring out the most of his magic. That's why he's always tired."

Blaise sighed. "I should go find them."

"No need." They all turned to see Draco.

Harry was giggling as he ran his fingers through Draco's hair. Making it a right mess. Draco tickled his tummy and Harry bounced giggling more.

"Well I never. Bested by a child." Pansy pouted.

Draco smirked. "Love tell Pansy there what you think of my hair."

Harry giggled. "Dway haiw is so cool. Wike snow. It sof to. Wike... wike." Harry's expression fell.

Draco frowned and shifted him. "What's wrong Harry?"

"Uncwe Vewnon going to twow away ewa."

"Who's Ella?" Blaise asked.

"Fwuffy toy in my cupboawd. I got fwom wady nek doow." Harry said. "Dway haiw soft wike ewa."

Harry wriggled out of Draco's hands and ran to Blaise. He started crying as soon as Blaise picked him up. Blaise laid Harry's head on his shoulder and bounced a bit.

"Shhh munchkin. It's okay." Blaise hummed.

Draco placed his hand on Harry's back. "What would you say if I bought you a new fluffy toy. When we go shopping on Saturday I can buy you one."

Harry wiped his eyes and stared at Draco. "Weawly?"

Draco nodded. "Really. Will that make you happy."

Harry nodded and looked at Blaise. He smiled and Harry buried his head in Blaise's neck. Blaise mouthed a 'thank you' to Draco. He decided he had enough of classes for the day. The only reason they were there was because Harry didn't want to go back after lunch like they usually did. He knew Harry was wiped out already. Not long after Harry was asleep.

"You gonna go back?" Pansy asked.

"Yeah. Poor Harry doesn't like all this. That's why I haven't been coming to class in the afternoon." Blaise explained as he swayed.

"I no sweep." Harry mumbled. "Bwaiz go cwass. I be good. Pwomise."

"Oh Harry you are always good. And you need sleep. But first food." Blaise rubbed his back.

Harry lifted his head and scrunched his nose. "I no take dwink. It yucky."

Blaise looked at him. "Are you hungry?" Harry shook his head. "Will you eat if I give you food?" Again Harry shook his head. "Then you are taking the potion. You will take it until you are able to eat without it."

Harry nodded and laid back on Blaise's shoulder. They made their way to the great Hall to sit and talk. Harry still only talked to Blaise and Draco. Hermione noticed the way they interacted more like friends. Whereas with Blaise it was an older brother or father figure.

"Draco. Can I ask you something." Hermione said.

"Ammm sure."

"What are your feelings for Harry? The real Harry." The group was now focused on Draco.

"Oh." Draco blushed. "Ammm well. It doesn't matter because he won't feel the same. But ammm I liked him. Like like liked."

Hermione smiled. "Oh if only you knew."

Pansy turned to Harry who was happily playing with Blaise's hand ignoring the rest. "So Harry how old are you really?"

Harry looked at her then Blaise. Blaise smiled at him and nodded his head. Harry turned to Pansy then the rest. He shifted closer to Blaise.

"I fouw." He put up three fingers though.

Blaise smiled and corrected his hand. Harry smiled up at Blaise then attempted to get onto his knees. Blaise helped him.

"What is it munchkin?" Blaise asked.

No one was prepared for what Harry did. By this time the Hall had started filling up so there were quite a few people watching the group. Harry placed a hand on Blaise's right cheek. Then he kissed Blaise on the left cheek. A couple gasps where heard from the people watching and Harry hid his face in Blaise's shoulder. Blaise wrapped his arms around Harry.

When Harry looked up his eyes were glassy. "I sowwy."

Blaise frowned. He looked at Harry noticing that he had been silently crying the whole time. He wiped Harry's face and sat him on the table.

"Why are you sorry munchkin?" Harry just pointed to his cheek. "Oh no Harry. I wasn't upset. I was happy. If I knew you were crying I would have told you. I just didn't know what to say."

"Not angwy?"

"No munchkin not at all." Blaise pulled Harry against him. "I will never be angry with you for things like that."

Harry nodded. "I... I hungwy." His voice was barely a whisper as he looked down.

Blaise looked at him. "I never gave you your potion yet."

Harry shifted and tried to move away from Blaise. Draco raised an eyebrow and plucked him from Blaise's hold. As so as Draco did that Harry cowered back.

"I sowwy. I wied." Harry whimpered.

Blaise was puzzled. He looked at the others for help. They shrugged just as confused. Draco rolled his eyes at the lot of them. He frowned at Hermione then shook his head shifting Harry.

"Harry. It's not nice to lie. Most importantly when you are hungry you should never lie. Earlier when Blaise asked if you were hungry why didn't you tell the truth?" Draco said gently yet firm keeping eye contact.

"Uncwe Vewnon get angwy when I hungwy." Harry whispered, his bottom lip quivered.

"So you told Blaise you weren't hungry because you were scared." Harry nodded. "Love you must eat when you are hungry. Otherwise how will you grow strong. And if you don't tell us the truth we can't help you grow strong. Blaise isn't mad and neither am I. We are just worried about you. Understand?"

"Sowwy Dway. Pwomise I no do it again." Harry said.

Draco kissed his forehead and hugged him. "Good boy. Now Blaise is going to hold you and I'm going to get you some food okay?"

Harry reached out for Blaise and he took him from Draco. Harry wrapped his arms around Blaise and whispered sorry over and over again. Blaise gently rocked him humming. Soon Harry calmed down and wiped his face. That's when Draco returned with a sandwich for Harry. He took it and started eating not moving from Blaise's lap.

"I thought you were supposed to be the smart one Hermione." Draco smirked.

"You can't really tell me you knew." Hermione protested.

Draco shrugged. "Harry has tells when he lies. Even as a kid. I was surprised when I noticed it earlier."

Neville went wide-eyed. "And you never said anything."

Draco looked at Harry. "He's broken enough. He needs to do things at his own pace. Calling him a liar would have made things worse. At least this way he was honest all by himself and he can feel good about it."

Dean and Seamus exchanged looks. "How would you know about Harry's tells?"

Draco turned pink. "I'm surprised you don't know. He lies to you'll a lot more than he lies to me."

Pansy tisked. "Draco just spends as much time as possible memorizing Harry's features. He hardly eats with the amount of time he spends watching Harry."
