"I haven't been sleeping well courtesy of the git you made my roommate, sir. In the last few weeks I haven't had a truly solid night's sleep. Even the nights when you gave him Dreamless Sleep, and I slept better, I still found myself waking more than I should, anticipating disturbances from Draco. You made no provision for my sleep sir. I understand the reasons you made the switch. But I rather resent you getting angry at me for a consequence you should have thought of. I dislike him for many reasons not the least of which is the little brat is a slob. I have made allowances for his privileged upbringing but between lack of sleep and his habits I'm unwilling to put up with your 'maybe your family spoils you' crap too.
"I overslept. I'm sorry. I'll make up the work. Last night I got blissfully uninterrupted sleep courtesy of a silencing spell for the first time since term began. Given what was happening, you should have taught me that spell weeks ago. In my sleep deprived state I forgot to move my alarm clock within the curtains and I overslept. Forgive me for being human.
"Maybe if the magical world didn't have such a burr up its arse regarding mental health, Draco would be having fewer issues. But of course the Malfoys have such a stick up their arses about muggles that they would never ever consider looking for counseling outside the magical world for help from a muggle counselor." Harry suddenly realized how disrespectfully he had just ranted at his Head of House.
He instantly moderated his tone. "Sir, I apologize profusely for my tone. It was out of line and disrespectful, my only excuse is weeks of sleep depravation. I deserve detention for my disrespect. I just ask that you don't take points because of me. Our house doesn't deserve to penalized for my poor behavior."
Harry figured that would be face-saving enough for Snape. Harry knew that Snape took points rarely from the house. He used the internal reward and punishment set up with each student at the first of the year to discipline the snakes. As result Harry suspected he would be set giving remedial lessons to firsties for a month or more, sadly many of them needed it, and he would be denied goods retrieved from Hogsmeade. Had there been an audience when Harry ranted at the Professor a point loss would have been mandatory. Harry knew he'd never get the lenience that the rest of the snakes got. Never let it be said the Professor couldn't hold a grudge until doomsday. His line about your family spoiling you doubtlessly referred to his father's misdeeds and Snape was confusing him with his father again .
Severus Snape felt like he'd just been hit with a bludger. It was so obvious why hadn't he thought of that. Of course Lily's son was correct. The Malfoys would never have ever considered muggle counseling, but if there were books about healing from rape he could give them to Draco. It would have the added benefit of showing Draco that there were aspects of muggles worth knowing about. Which in turn could allow Draco to be less slavishly devoted to the same path his father chose. But first to find out what he could learn from the boy.
"Very well, apology accepted, no point loss will occur. You will however you will make yourself available for the Saturday morning remedial lessons for the rest of the winter term, Flint will be instructed to retrieve nothing from Hogsmeade for you for that duration as well. As for missing class this morning, three detentions: one to make up the work, and two others to remind you why skipping class even for something like sleep is unacceptable.
"You state that the Malfoys should have looked to the muggles for counseling following Draco's attack, why?"
"Well, even if rape is almost unheard of in the magical world, in the muggle it is… well, not common, but not rare. As result, there are counselors trained in dealing with it. My Sensei's wife worked as a rape counselor. She frequently encouraged her patients to learn martial arts for defense. They came to the dojo. Because I was young and not very intimidating, I often served as a sparing partner for them when we had one in a class where I assisted."
"Do you know enough to help Draco?"
"No!" Harry's reply was sharp. He in actuality probably knew enough to help some after helping with some of those women at the dojo, but there was no way he wanted to grow any closer to the other boy. He moderated his tone slightly, he wasn't completely unsympathetic towards Draco either, no one deserved what had happened to him. "I could write my Sensei, perhaps his wife could recommend some books."
"That is a most seemly offer towards a housemate, I would appreciate your doing so. Mr. Potter…"
"Sir?"
"You were correct. It was remiss of me not to make provisions to see you got adequate rest despite Draco's difficulties. Two points to Slytherin for resourcefulness in seeing to it yourself. Dismissed. Oh, and detention at seven."
"Yes, sir."
