I'm laying in bed, to scared to fall asleep, because every time I close my eyes the nightmares starts, it's the same thing every night; a little girl being abused and a faceless person torturing me to kill someone, the torture feels so real, I can feel how sore my body is when I'm waking up.

Nessa have been brewing sleeping draught for me, but Draco have been questioning the class if someone knows where the ingredients are and who's been stealing it, so now I just lay awake until my body can't take it anymore.

"Ollie, you really have to talk so someone about this, you can't just—"

"Can't what? I can't sleep because of the nightmares! You know that! And no, I'm not talking to anyone about this! It's just fucking nightmares, nothing real!"

"Ollie, please—"

"I thought I've told you ladies not to talk while I'm teaching."

I just looked up at Draco and then I looked away, "Miss. Scott, can you stay after the class is over?"

I just nodded, I didn't had the strength to talk back, I was too tired, all I wanted to do was to fall asleep, but I couldn't, I was to afraid to do so.

"Professor Malfoy, I— don't be too hard on her."

"Vanessa, can you see if you can find Harry for me?"

"Okay— Ollie, I'll be right back."

And again I just nodded, she left the classroom, and left was me and him. Usually I would've loved to be alone with him, but not now, because I know he's going to ask me questions I can't or want to answer.

"Olivia... What's going on? You're so—"

"Nothing is going on, I'm fine, it's just— I'm tired, that's all, I don't get enough sleep." I tried to give him a fake smile, but he knows me better than that, sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself.

"Olivia— I know Vanessa have been taking ingredients from me, ingredients you need to brew sleeping draught, and I just want to know why."

"How on earth should I know wh—"

"Don't!" I flinched by the tone of his voice, "Don't lie to me Olivia. Just— tell me for fucks sake!"

Before I could answer him, Vanessa and Harry walked in, thank god, "What's going on here?" Harry asked, but neither of us answered, we just stayed quiet.

"Ollie, if you're not telling, I am."

My eyes flew wide open, I knew she would tell them, "No, you're not going to say anything! There's nothing wrong, so just leave it, okay? As I told you Draco, I don't get enough sleep, that's all." I could see none of them believed me, and honestly I've never been good at lying.

"Fine, Olivia has been having terrible nightmares for weeks, and she's too afraid to fall asleep, so she stays awake until her body can't take it anymore. I've been giving her sleeping draught, just so she could sleep, that's why I took ingredients, I'm so sorry, but I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone."

"What the fuck Vanessa?" I snapped at her, I can't believe she told them, she fucking broke her promise.

"What kind of nightmares?" I could see Draco was genially worried about me, but still, I didn't want to worry them, I mean it's just nightmares.
