Harry awoke, again, to the feel of Draco thrashing beside him in the bed. He was mumbling incoherently and sweat was coming out of every pore. An occasional word could be deciphered in amongst the rest.

"Mother, no!" he screamed. Then, as he had done almost every night since they moved in together, Draco got up out of bed and began to sleepwalk.

Harry followed him, afraid Draco might hurt himself, knowing it was a new place, but he seemed to manage well enough. Harry's nightmares had finally stopped, but now Draco's had begun. Harry didn't know what to do.

Oh, poor Draco, and poor Harry! *is worried* Draco's lucky to have Harry following him around when he sleepwalks, or he may get seriously hurt. :(

He seems to have adjusted to their new place without bumping into things, so that's good. But yeah, it's good that he has Harry there.

Well, to be honest it's not so much the bumping into things I'm worried about. I used to sleepwalk, and I was able to open doors in my sleep. In fact, once I (apparently) opened the front door and ran into the front yard, but luckily my father saw and steered me back inside... so you see why I'm glad Draco has Harry there. :)

Right. Forgot about the functionality of sleepwalkers. Good point.
