Daphne hugged me as I slept. She hugged me tightly — exactly like Draco used to do. She had found me in the shower, crying, with my clothes on and had taken me into the dormitory. She wiped my tears and held me in her arms.

She had her arms around me in a protective way, holding me tight to let me know that she was here.

"Draco loves you... okay?" She repeatedly told me. "He loves you so much. And he will be okay — he will wake up soon and then you can tell him how much you love him."

Pansy was asleep on her bed, she and Daphne had been comforting me but it had gotten late and she had fallen asleep. But Daphne stayed up with me for so long that she could.

"Daph..?" I whispered "He's going to be okay right?"

"Yes." Daphne responded in her sleepy voice. "He's going to be okay. I promise. Close your eyes and sleep — the time will go faster then. Okay?"

She placed a kiss on top of my head, "Okay." A faint smile grew on my lips of the feeling of not being alone. "Daph?"

"Yes, Belle?"

"I love you."

"I know." She whisper — laughed. "I love you too."

I closed my eyes and thought of Draco. His voice. His touch. His scent. His breathing. Then I fell asleep.

.
.

"Hi Draco." I smiled as I took a seat beside him on the chair, I took his hand in mine and kissed the top of it. "I've missed you."

No answer. No response. He was still asleep.

"You're beautiful." I said, placing a kiss on top of his head, I brushed my finger over his soft cheek. "You're so beautiful, I hope you know that."

A tear rolled down my cheek, "Please wake up? I need you right now, I miss you so much.  You — you promised me always and forever."

He didn't wake up for the next three days either. I sat beside him everyday. I slept on the chair, and sometimes I even conjured a mattress and laid beside him.

I talked to him everyday, I told him how much I love him. And I begged him to wake up — even though he couldn't hear me.

"I love you, Draco." I squeezed his hand. I stood up, gave him a small kiss on top of his head before I made my way towards the exit.

I was going to hogsmeade to buy him some flowers, roses to be exact.

"Darling?"

I can still hear his voice. Without looking back I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the voice that was trying to fuck my mind.

"It's okay, he's going to be okay... he's going to wake up soon."

I took another deep breath.

It was starting to get colder outside, it was one month until Christmas. I hope that he will wake up by then — if he doesn't I'll stay with him here at Hogwarts during Christmas.

"Belle — darling?" I heard his voice again. And it felt so, so real. Don't look back, keep going, ignore it, it's not real.

Fuck it. In a quick moment, so fast I could barely register it, I turned around.

And there he was. He was fine — he was okay and he was awake. "Draco?"

He smiled, "Darling.."

My feet moved fast, in a matter of seconds I had my arms wrapped around him and my face hidden against his chest as tears streamed down my face. His arms wrapped around my body, holding me tightly.
