Say Hello, Say Goodbye

Chapter 7

Over the next few months Harry and Draco began to get used to the strange looks and whispers that followed them wherever they went in the castle. Not only were there the looks but there was an awful lot of giggles coming from the girls whenever they were caught 'doing something cute'. Which included but not limited to hugs, touches and the occasional kiss that happened outside of their rooms.

Those rooms that they were provided with were practically a godsend over the last few months. It was a place for them to get time to be alone and study or be affectionate with one another and not have hordes of giggles accompany it. They were also a place for Draco to get away from his fellow Slytherins who were not at all amused by the turn of events. They considered what Draco did traitorous and thus tried their hardest to make his life miserable. Luckily though the professors were expecting this and did their best to look out for the blond boy. Even Professor Snape did his best even though he didn't like Draco's choice of boyfriends anymore than his students did. Also, whenever Draco was out and about the school he was constantly surrounded by Ron, Hermione, and the other Gryffindors. He moaned and groaned about the company he had to keep but Harry knew he was relieved at not having to go anywhere alone.

Harry was happy for the room too because he knew if he had to stay in the Gryffindor common room then he wouldn't get any time for himself. He would have girls of all ages bugging him constantly at being given a chance to feel the baby kick, which it had been doing a lot of lately. His stomach had grown considerably over the months and now he could no longer see his feet when he looked down. He was thankful that he had been given much larger robes well in advance since they hid some of the roundness of his stomach. He also, as predicted, got a lot of use out of the large bathtub in their bathroom. Especially when he began to feel back aches more than a couple of times a day. It also gave Harry and Draco a chance to cuddle and be close since Harry rarely felt like much else.

Sirius and Remus had come by to visit a couple of times a month to spend some time with Harry. Most of the time they sat on the couches by the fire and told stories to Harry and Draco about their time at Hogwarts with Harry's dad. Though they tried to stay clear of the ones that involved Snape since they found out the hard way that they tended to make Harry cry over how mean his father and godfather had been as teenagers. So they stuck to the ones of their adventures when they were first learning the layout of the school and their pranks that were directed at the entire school and not just for embarrassment purposes of one person.

One thing that weighed heavily on both Harry and Draco's minds was how sick Dumbledore was getting. He still had the charms on that made him look healthy but both Harry and Draco were observant and saw the signs. Dumbledore was weakening and all the teachers looked worried. But Harry and Draco tried their best not to let their worry show as not to worry the other students.

The only time Harry was able to truly let go of his worry was during the Easter holiday in April. He, Draco, Ron and Hermione had left Hogwarts and gone to Sirius' home in order to decorate the baby's room. They had chosen the room right next to Harry's and got to work on it right away. At first Harry had been angry when Draco and Sirius had put their feet down about him lifting anything and moving things around especially since he couldn't use magic. After a good ten minutes of sulking Harry relented and decided it was for the best. He sat in a rocking chair Sirius had found and directed the others on where he thought things should go and what colors they should be. He found he rather enjoyed telling them where to go and what to do though he felt bad since he wasn't doing anything.

After two days of work the room was finally finished. The team stood back and looked over what they had done. The walls were a pale blue, good for a boy or a girl), a large crib opposite the window, a changing table and dresser were on the wall opposite the door. Scattered around the room were countless stuffed animals and wizarding and Muggle toys. The wood was a light oak in color and was charmed with little Quidditch players and balls flying around the furniture. And the last final touch was the quilt that Dumbledore and McGonagall gave Harry for Christmas that Harry draped over the side of the crib.

It was now the month of June and the fifth and seventh years could be seen studying like crazy as the OWLs and NEWTs were only a week away. Everyone, including Harry, was worried about how the pressure was affecting Harry and his pregnancy. Harry and his friends were studying at all hours of the day. The tests themselves were going to be constructed much like their OWLs had been meaning they would be taken over a two week period and their written tests were to be taken in the morning and the practicals in the afternoon.

On the Friday before the tests began they received their schedules for the exams. Up first on Monday was Transfiguration written and practicals. All weekend the students could be seen reading up on their notes over the last few years. Harry and Draco were hardly ever seen outside of meals because they were hold up in their rooms studying.

The Monday morning of the first exams were high in stress level for all seventh years. Most were scurrying through notes at the last minute and others just sat in a daze of nerves. Harry was doing neither but he wasn't eating either. He wasn't quite at a daze yet but he was too nervous to eat right now. Plus, the baby wasn't giving him much of an appetite either, it had been protesting all the extra tension Harry had been feeling over the last few weeks and had been kicking him extra hard that morning. When they had been told to clear out of the great hall so they could begin setting it up for the testing Harry stood up and the baby had given him such a strong kick that Harry had stopped in his tracks and gasped, hand flying to his stomach.

Draco saw the movement and was at his side in a second. "Harry? Harry, are you ok? Do I need to take you to Madam Pomfrey?" he asked in a panicky voice.

Harry shook his head and continued toward the door. "No, I'm ok. The baby just kicked me really hard that's all. It's been doing that a lot lately. It's unhappy about all the stress I've been under. It will calm down once the tests are over with next week."

Draco nodded but still looked worried. "Ok, but you'll tell me at once if anything is wrong, won't you?"

"Of course, Draco. You will be the first to know."

Draco nodded and they all played the waiting game as they waited to be allowed back into the room to begin their exam. Fifteen minutes later they were called back in and were quickly seated at individual tables that all had pieces of parchment, quills and ink bottles. Once everyone was seated the portly witch, who was standing in the front of the room, said, "You may begin" and turned over a large hour glass.

Harry stared at his exam paper for a moment before the test question registered in his brain. "What is the sequence you must follow when you transfigure a porcupine into a pincushion?" He thought for a minute before taking quill to parchment and began to write.

2 hours later the seventh years trooped out with tired and anxious faces. You could hear many complaining and moaning that they couldn't remember how to transfigure this item or that item. Hermione and many of the Ravenclaws were beside themselves with worry that they didn't give enough information and for some that they gave too much.

"Did you give the full explanation of how to turn a bird into a goblet or did you just give the incantation? And on question 13..." Hermione babbled on as they ate lunch with the rest of the school.

"Hermione, we've been over this a million times! We are not going to go over every exam after we've taken them!" Ron said sternly, through a mouthful of green bean casserole.

When lunch was over they waited in the little room off to the side that had been used back in Harry's fourth year where the school champions of the Triwizard Tournament had waited after they had been selected. They were to be called alphabetically to go in and perform their practical part of the transfiguration NEWT. After ten minutes Harry had been called along with the Patil twins and Pansy Parkinson. Harry took a deep breath and walked into the room and he was ushered over to a free examiner.

"Ah, Mr. Potter. Lovely to see you again," the old man Harry remembered being called Professor Tufty said. The old man placed a tea cup on the table and asked Harry to transfigure the design on the cup to something else.

When Harry left the examination he was feeling positive. On the average he thought he had done rather well. He hadn't made any hideous mistakes though a few of his transfigurations couldn't be completed the whole way no matter what he tried. When he caught up with Draco he found out that his boyfriend had done well on his exam also. There had been no real time to relax other than a long soak with Draco in the bathtub before going head first into their charms notes which had been scheduled for the next day.

The tests on Tuesday and Wednesday went rather well (Charms and Herbology) and he thought he did well enough to pass. On Thursday he had Defense Against The Dark Arts and thought it had been his easiest NEWT yet thanks to all the hexes and curses he had learned in order to fight Voldemort. Luckily he and Ron had Friday off while Hermione and Draco had their Arithmancy exam. They had decided to meet up in Harry and Draco's room after the exam and the two boys went up to rest. By the time Draco and Hermione had arrived the were both sound asleep.

"Harry? Harry, it's time to wake up." Harry heard as his mind began to clear out of the haze of sleep he had been in just a moment ago. When he opened his eyes he looked up at the smiling face of his boyfriend who smiled back at him. "Hey, welcome back Harry," the blond haired youth said with a chuckle.

Harry smiled back before giving a yawn and stretching. "How did the test go?"

"Alright I think," Draco said with a frown. "I think I mixed up some of the definitions but I think I did well enough to pass."

Harry nodded and looked toward the bushy-haired girl. "And what about you?"

Hermione frowned as well. "I'm sure I did well but like Draco I messed up a few definitions."

The four students fell silent for a few minutes and it was finally broken by Draco. "Harry, how is the baby today?"

Harry place a hand on the middle of the bulge that was the baby and smiled when it placed a foot there as if knowing it's Daddy was touching it. "It's doing good today. I can't wait till I can find out if its a boy or a girl just so I can stop referring to it as an 'it'.

This statement caused the other room occupants to chuckle. "When can you find out?" Hermione asked.

"Madam Pomfrey said she can check at my next visit to her which she said would be sometime after the exams. So hopefully soon."

Hermione got a perplexed look on her face. "Harry. There has been something I've been wondering about. What are you going to do once this term is over?"

"Well, even if I wasn't expecting the baby I wouldn't be going through Auror training like I originally thought. I just don't want to be killing dark wizards for the rest of my life. I've had enough of that recently to last a million lifetimes. I thought about maybe teaching since I really liked teaching during the DA, but with the baby I don't how I'll be able to do all of it," Harry said sadly.

"Well, if you did teach and if things go the way they have been the school will be needing a new Defense teacher next year, you could always ask a House Elf to watch it while you have lessons," Draco said as if it were the obvious choice.

"I know but I'd feel bad leaving it with a House Elf since they are so busy with their other duties."

"Well, you could ask Dumbledore if he could give you one of the Hogwarts elves for the baby. I'm sure Dobby would be more than happy to do it," Ron said with a chuckle. "Plus, he's already a free elf so it won't upset Hermione if you used him."

Hermione huffed at this. "You still think my S.P.E.W. campaign is funny do you?"

Ron shook his head. "No, Hermione, I don't. I just think the way you are going about it is all wrong. You are forcing freedom on them and that isn't going to work. You expect them to all want freedom just because you say they should when all of them have grown up doing what they have been doing for generations. You have to go more slowly. You must have noticed that not too many of them have been cleaning the Gryffindor Common Room since you started leaving those hats everywhere."

Hermione stared at Ron shocked. "That, Ron Weasley, has to be one of the nicest most helpful thing you have ever said to me about this subject." With that she leaned over and gave Ron a quick kiss on the lips.

The tips of Ron's ears turned scarlet for a moment before he stuttered out a 'no problem'. After a moment he composed himself and turned to his oldest friend. "I happen to know that Professor White had only planned on staying the year so maybe you could try and submit an application to be the new Defense teacher."

Harry nodded. "I will have to think about it." He turned toward Hermione. "What are you doing after this term?"

"I plan on going to work at the Ministry in the Department for Magical Creatures. I am hoping to get some notice for S.P.E.W."

Harry nodded, he supposed he shouldn't be surprised. "What about you Ron?"

"I'm going to work with my brother Charlie in Romania. Mum isn't too happy with me that I'm not going to be an Auror or work in the Ministry but she's at least happy that I'm not following in the twin's footsteps and creating my own business."

Before Harry could ask, Draco answered as well. "I heard that the Arithmancy witch is going to retire after this year so I'm going to see about getting the job myself. I was a bit worried about being here and you being wherever you were going to work but if you get the Defense job I won't have to worry. We will both be here along with the baby."

Harry nodded. "If we were both working here it would be great." Another round of quiet filled the room after this statement. It stayed that way until Ron asked Harry if he wanted to play a game of chess. Harry accepted and they were soon lost in the game, completely ignoring the other two. Draco shrugged at Hermione and proceeded to get out his Potions notes, which was to be the next test given.

On Monday Harry felt as prepared as he could be for the Potions exams that were being held that day. As with his previous OWL Potions exam he found the written exam extremely hard though he thought he may have at least passed it. When it came time for the practical his hands began to get sweaty and the baby kicked strongly as it felt his growing nervousness. Unlike the other practicals they were all herded into the examining room and were told to stand by a cauldron. With Snape not present during the exam Harry once again felt more at ease making the required potion though he was barely done in time.

Harry and Draco once again relaxed in the tub before doing some more studying. Though this time they were studying for different exams. Draco had the Astronomy exams the following day while Harry only had his Care of Magical Creatures exam, which wasn't being held until Wednesday.

The exam went rather well as he had to show that he knew how to handle a variety of creatures in several different situations. He left the exam feeling confident that he had at least got an Exceeds Expectations. With his last exam over with Harry went straight to his room and soaked in the warmth of the bath and his favorite scent of lavender.

Friday evening found all the seventh years of all four houses celebrating the end of their education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, though there were more than a few who had tears in their eyes at the prospect of not returning to the school that had become like a second home over the last seven years.

The Monday after exams Harry received his monthly owl from Madam Pomfrey that said he had an appointment that afternoon. He smiled at this, he'd be able to find out what sex his baby was. He went through the motions of the day though his mind was preoccupied with the thought of the appointment and of the baby. When the time finally came for Harry and Draco to go down to the Hospital Wing Harry was on pins and needles.

"Hi, Madam Pomfrey," Harry greeted as he and Draco entered the main area of the Hospital Wing.

The witch looked up and smiled when she saw the two boys. "Hello, Mr. Potter. Hello, Mr. Malfoy. Glad to see you could make it."

Draco snorted. "Of course we're here. Wild Hippogriffs couldn't keep Harry away from here. He's done everything but literally jumping up and down in excitement over this visit."

Draco regretted his words after a moment when he saw Harry's eyes fill with tears. "Well excuse me for being excited about finally finding out what our baby is. I thought you'd be too but obviously not!"

Draco immediately went to Harry's side and hugged him. "Shh, Love. Of course I'm excited. I want to know what our baby will be as much as you do. I'm sorry I said that," he whispered in Harry's ear. Harry buried his head in Draco's chest and the blond haired boy shot the nurse a desperate look, not understanding why Harry was reacting like this.

Madam Pomfrey chuckled. "Harry's emotions are running ragged right now and I won't be surprised if something like this happens more often as he gets closer to his due date. Now, Mr. Potter why don't you come over here and lay down so we can get started."

Harry sniffed and wiped his eyes. "Sorry about that, Draco. I don't know what got into me," he said obviously embarrassed.

Draco patted his back lightly. "It's ok Harry."

Harry walked over to the bed and quickly shed his robes off before climbing into the bed and laying on his back. Madam Pomfrey came over and began doing spells to check on his health and that of the baby. "Well, Mr. Potter the baby is perfectly healthy. You yourself have gained 6 pounds since the last time I saw you. As you enter your third trimester you will be gaining more weight. Now I know you are both anxious to know the sex of the baby so let's check that now before I go into what you should be expecting in the next few months."

Harry and Draco nodded and Harry instinctively grabbed for Draco's hand and squeezed it tight. Madam Pomfrey cast another spell, this time aiming it first at Harry's stomach then up into the air above them. First a light mist formed and then it turned into a small translucent bubble like thing that allowed them to view into Harry's womb. Both Harry and Draco stared transfixed at the little baby with tears in their eyes.

"Everything looks good Mr. Potter. As for the sex of the baby it looks as if you have a baby boy. Congratulations Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy."

Harry and Draco just stared at the picture in the air transfixed until Madam Pomfrey ended the spell. Harry shook his head and a large silly grin spread over his face. "A boy," he whispered.

"A boy," Draco said firmly. "He will probably look just like you with Dumbledore's blue eyes. Though I hope he has your nose." Draco joked.

Harry chuckled. "Just as long as he's healthy I don't care who he looks like more." He placed a hand on his stomach and smiled when the baby kicked. Harry grinned even more when he began talking to the baby. "Hello there my little boy. I'm going to have to start thinking of names for you. I can't wait to see you, little one." He bent over and placed a small kiss on his stomach and then chuckled when the baby gave another kick.

Draco wrapped his arms around Harry and kissed him on the cheek. "That was beautiful Harry." They both looked up when they heard sniffling that wasn't coming from either of them. They were shocked when they saw that the normally reserved nurse was showing emotion. "Are you ok, Madam Pomfrey?" Draco asked.

"Yes, of course, Mr. Malfoy. Why wouldn't I be?" She asked as she quickly wiped at her eyes.

Both Harry and Draco had to bite the inside of their lips to keep from smiling too wide. "No, no reason Madam Pomfrey," Draco said.

After a moment of silence Madam Pomfrey cleared her throat. "Now, Mr. Potter, next week you will entering into your third trimester and I think it will be better for you and the baby if we began to see each other every two weeks instead of every four."

Harry's heart began to beat a little faster at that. "Is there something that might go wrong that you want to watch out for?"

Madam Pomfrey chuckled a little. "It's a standard procedure, Mr. Potter. I have all my pregnancies, whether witches or wizards, start coming in more often around this time. It's just so we can keep an eye on the baby for changes that might show that he's getting ready to be born."

Harry let out a breath that he barely knew he had been holding. "That's good. For a second there I was beginning to think...." He trailed off not really wanting to say what he had been thinking.

Draco squeezed Harry's shoulder. "Don't worry Harry, the baby is completely healthy. Nothing will go wrong."

Harry nodded at this and they both listened as Madam Pomfrey gave Harry some last minute instructions before letting them go.

A week later all of Harry's friends were acting oddly and Harry knew it had nothing to do with their school career ending in another week. He saw a lot of his year mates in own house and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff whispering in the halls and in the Great Hall but stopping whenever he was near. Eventually it began to get too much for the young man and he finally blew up about it to Draco on Thursday of that week.

"Draco! I can't take it anymore! What is going on with everyone? It's like they are hiding something or planning something! But I can't figure out what? Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Draco looked over at Harry before going back to his book and answering him. "Harry, relax. You know the baby feels everything you're feeling. You don't want to get too stressed out. As for everyone else I'm sure its just excitement over being finished with school forever after next week."

Harry shook his head. "No. No that's not it. They always stop whispering when I come close to them."

Draco sighed. "Love, you're beginning to get as paranoid as Mad-Eye. It's probably because they are whispering about your pregnancy and wondering when it's going to be born." He got up, placing his book upside down as to keep his place in the book, and walked over to where Harry was sitting and began to massage his shoulders.

"Yeah, that's probably it." Harry said as he succumbed to the massage and began to fall asleep.

The next day Harry once again felt like everyone was talking about him. Only this time it seemed worse. Finally he went to his and Draco's room to get away from everyone else. After a few hours Draco came into the room looking for him. "Harry? You in here?"

"Yes, Draco I'm here," Harry replied.

Draco walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "We've been looking for you everywhere. Ron and Hermione need you to come to the Gryffindor common room."

Harry looked puzzled at the request but followed Draco. Once there he was surprised that Draco knew the password to get in. But before he could ask his lover about it he was ushered into the curiously quiet common room. Furrowing his brow he turned once more to Draco but found that the blonde was no longer by his side. Panicking he turned back to face the room and jumped a mile when he was suddenly faced with the whole of Gryffindor and what looked like a half of both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw as well all shouting 'Surprise'. In the center of the mass of students were his two best friends and his boyfriend.

Smiling widely he could only get out a shocked. "What's going on?"

Hermione nodded happily. "It was actually an idea of Ginny's. She wanted to give you a little party for the baby since most of the Gryffindors won't see you again and we all ran with the idea. Then some of the students in the other houses heard us talking about it and wanted in on the surprise as well."

Harry's heart soared at the generosity of his friends and those he barely knew. He felt his eyes begin to tear but quickly tried to squash them. Luckily Hermione saw this and turned toward the guests asking them to put the presents they had got for Harry on to the large table that was in the center of the room. Draco, also seeing this, wrapped an arm around Harry, comforting him silently as the other boy tried to compose himself. After a few minutes he pulled away and smiled at Draco. Mouthing a silent 'thanks' to both Draco and Hermione he said much louder while clapping his hands together. "So, what do we do first?"

"Well, Harry, why don't you open the presents then we can eat, " Draco said as he guided Harry over to the table that was bending from the weight of all the presents that were a top it.

Harry gapped at the site. "All those are for the baby?" He had never seen that many presents in one place before. There had to be even more than what Dudley normally got for birthday and Christmas combined.

Some of the guests who were close enough to hear chuckled at that. "Yes, Harry. Though I'm sure some of them are for you and Draco as well." Hermione said.

Harry nodded. Hermione got everyone's attention and everyone gathered closer to the table so they could watch as Harry opened the presents. Deciding that he would open the ones from his friends last or when they were alone he opened a parcel that said it was from the seventh year Hufflepuffs. Opening it he was shocked to see a decent size pile of boy's baby clothes. All play robes and sleepers in many different colors and sizes to hopefully last the baby through the first few months. He chuckled when he noticed a few of them had quidditch players or balls flying across the fabric. He quickly spotted Hannah and Justin and thanked them for the gift.

Justin smiled. "You're welcome Harry. We were going to get Muggle style clothes since you did grow up in the Muggle world and I figured they would be easier for us to get since most of us were Muggleborn. But then Hannah reminded me that Draco might not like that so we went for robes and things."

Draco smiled over at Harry before turning toward Justin. "Actually we decided that we were going to teach the little one about both worlds so he will be needing some Muggle clothes if we are going to take him out there."

Both of the Hufflepuff seventh year representatives were shocked but nodded anyway. Harry began opening the other presents. The baby now had enough clothes in both Muggle and Wizarding to last throughout his first year. He had also been given all different types of toys, some just for play while others were used to stimulate his magical abilities. He was pleased when the Gryffindor quidditch team gave the baby a child's broom, one that wouldn't go more than a foot off the ground no matter how much the child urged it to. There were also more practical gifts mostly from the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, like a mobile to hang over the baby's cot that had brooms flying over the baby's head while another one had different magical creatures. He was also given several different children's books in Muggle and wizarding content. He was surprised to learn that the wizarding world had their own versions of the popular fairy tales the Muggles told, such as Hansel and Gretel and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and many more. He was also delighted to see classics that he had grown up listening to his aunt read his cousin, such as Peter Pan, and was eager to read it to his own son.

The rest of the gifts went along the same lines but he was happy with each of them. When the party ended a few hours later Harry and Draco, along with Ron, Hermione and Ginny, went to their private room. Placing the gifts in a corner of the room Draco did a simple shrinking charm as to keep them out of the way until they could take them over to Sirius'. Harry, tired on his feet, collapsed in his favorite chair by the fire with a small smile on his face.

Once everyone was seated around the fire Hermione began questioning Harry on his health. "So, Harry, how are you feeling really?" she asked in a concerned voice.

Harry sighed. "I'm tired and my back and ankles hurt more than they don't but over all Hermione? I think I'm happier than I've ever been."

Hermione and Ginny sighed at this which caused the two non-hormonal males to roll their eyes.

"It's getting late," Ginny said a few minutes later. "I'm sure Harry would like to go to sleep soon so why don't we give him our presents now?"

Draco nodded at this. "Yes, I think that sounds like a good idea, Hermione."

Hermione reached into her robes and pulled out a medium sized parcel and handed it to Harry. Harry was actually surprised that it wasn't a book of some kind and wondered what it was. He unwrapped the paper and found a Muggle portable cd player with headphones and a cd of soothing sounds (such as waves crashing in the ocean). Looking up confused at Hermione she explained. "My Mum said that it was one thing that helped to keep me calm when I was a baby. Apparently it would calm me enough to sleep when I was fussy. She also said it's good for the baby before its born to hear music and other soothing sounds. I asked professor Flitwick for help on ways to charm it so it will work by magic instead of batteries and electricity."

Harry smiled at this. "Thanks Hermione. This is great." He smiled at Ginny when she handed him her gift. Opening it he saw several stuffed magical animals and saw that they were very well loved from years of use.

"They are trained to respond to the baby's touch and dance and other things. They are designed to entertain an infant who can't reach or hold things yet. They used to be mine and Ron's toys, the only things the twins didn't get their hands on to ruin. Mum re-charmed them so their charms will last for a long time."

Harry smiled at Ginny. "Thank you Ginny. And thank your mum for me."

Ron was last to hand Harry a parcel. "I know it isn't much but..." He trailed off.

Harry nodded knowing he wouldn't be able to convince his friend otherwise. He opened it and was a little confused to find two small round balls.

Seeing Harry's confused look Ron explained. "It's a baby monitor. You put one ball in the baby's room or wherever the baby is and the other one can either go in your room or you can charm it to follow you around the house. It changes colors and sounds different alarms depending on the baby's needs. The more severe the baby's cries the louder the alarm gets. This set hasn't been used since Ginny was two but Mum says it's still in good condition. I thought you might like something like this since it would be useful if you were to go out flying while the baby is sleeping and no one else is home. This could go outside with you and be able to let you know when he needs you. Though Mum says it won't work further than your property."

Harry beamed at his friend. "Ron, this is great really. I was worried about not hearing the baby in Sirius' large house and I wasn't sure if there was a magical equivalent to Muggle baby monitors."

Ron's ears turned red at the compliment and muttered that it wasn't that great since it was used.

Everyone else shook their head knowing there was no way to change his mind on that so they didn't even bother. The group of friends sat and talked for a little while longer until they started yawning more than they were talking. Excusing themselves, Ron, Hermione and Ginny left to go to the tower and Harry and Draco crawled into bed and snuggled under the covers. Harry burrowed his head into Draco's chest and mumbled as he fell asleep. "Thanks for today love. I needed some fun."

Draco smirked at that. "It was nothing Harry. It wasn't even my idea, it was Ginny's."

"I know," Harry mumbled. "But you let them do it." Harry didn't hear if Draco answered him since he was a sleep even before he finished his sentence.
