one: the things that love will kill

Harry Potter's newfound quest to isolate himself is interrupted by two things: his horrible nightmares and the bizarre revelation that he can prevent them by making physical contact with Draco Malfoy daily.

Draco Malfoy's everlasting quest to subdue his objections to the Dark Lord's reign in the name of If I do not, I will die, is interrupted by two things: his stubborn feelings for Harry Potter and Harry Potter (impossibly, incredulously) asking to hold his hand every day.

In short: Harry's protests of "I'm not gay, this is just what prevents me from having nightmares" sounds pretty fucking gay.
