Harry’s first experience of Draco’s nightmares occurred on their third night in his house. He awoke suddenly, not entirely sure why, but with a feeling of tightness in his chest. He felt compelled to check on Draco and was glad that he did when he found him twisting in his sheets, gasping for air. Harry immediately rushed forward, gripping Draco’s shoulders and trying to calm him. When Draco eventually fell back asleep peacefully, Harry settled on the bed next to him, not wanting to risk him having another nightmare.
