Harry lays awake some nights and listens to Draco humming in his sleep, breathy little slips of melody that fade in and out of hearing. The first couple times he hears it, Harry smiles to himself and lays a hand on Draco's back before drifting back to sleep.
Sometimes Draco shifts his legs as he hums, turning over and over like in the middle of a nightmare. Despite everything Harry knows about not waking people from dreams, he does when this happens, and Draco snaps awake. He never remembers dreaming, and never remembers the song.
Harry's speaking to Hermione about it in the foyer of their house when Kreacher laughs near the staircase. He hobbles close and snaps his fingers, offering a small box to Harry. "Mistress Narcissa's." He sneers as he bows and apparates away.
It's a music box made of dark wood and silver clasps that creak when Harry tips it open. It holds nothing but velvet lining and the familiar song Draco hums. Harry takes it to Draco and watches as he opens it.
Draco absently hums with the music and twists away from Harry, dancing slowly in place.
