The stench of blood and rotting things is gone, and the screaming, too. A
log crackles in the fire. The room's warm, dry, and Draco feels clean
again.
Someone's rubbing his feet. God, it feels good. No-one's touched him this
way in a long time.
'You've had enough, I think,' a voice says.
Potter's at the other end of the bed, kneading back into Draco something that can't be named right now.
The light changes, and even with his eyes still closed, Draco flinches at the sudden sharpness.
'Enough!' The hands, rougher now, calloused, shake him awake. 'Your Lordship's waiting.'
