Harry woke up in cold sweat, panting. He heard rustling. When he turned to look he saw Nott approaching him, worried.

"Henry is everything alright? Did you see another nightmare?"

Harry nodded, trying to calm his breathing and hugged his knees. Nott sat beside him on the bed. "Is there anything that I can do to make it better?'

Harry shook his head silently. Nott hesitated for a moment before softly massaging circles into Harry's upper back. Harry leaned his head against Nott's shoulder. Nott moved his hand to start ruffling Harry's hair.

Harry felt a pang of guilt when Nott yawned. "Sorry, you woke up because of me. You should go back to sleep," Harry said.

"Don't worry about that. Do you want me to keep you company?" Nott asked, smiling sleepily.

Harry didn't know what to say. He didn't want to be alone but he didn't want to bother Nott.... Harry bit his lip in though.

"Hey, I told you not to worry about that," Nott said while massaging Harry's scalp. "You should go back to sleep," Nott said as Harry yawned. He got up and tucked Harry in.

"Wait."

 

Nott turned back.

 

"Stay. "

 

"Please,"

Nott blushed and got in the bed. They were facing each other. Nott gave Harry a gentle kiss on his forehead.

When Nott woke up Harry was using his chest as a pillow. His arms were draped across Nott's chest.

"Good morning Henry! Are you ready for breakfast?" Celic's excited sound came from the doorway. Nott's blood froze.

Cedrick turned silent.

 

"Nott...why are you...sleeping with my brother?" Celic asked, seething.

"Well, Harry saw a nightmare and--"

"I told you, he doesn't need your help!!" Cedric seethed. He grabbed a pillow from one empty bed and started chasing Nott with it.
