(Hermione's POV)
(Friday)

"Good night, Hermione" she whispered as she quickly turned around and buried her head in the pillow.

"Night, Pansy" I said as I laughed and snuggled up to my pillow. Now I need to get my heart rate down enough to actually sleep.



Harry's POV
(Two days later - Sunday)

I haven't slept since my last nightmare on Friday and it's killing me. I want to sleep but I just physically can not close my eyes without them being jerked back open.

"Everyone, wake up!" Ron shouts as I heard a bunch of groans chorus from around the room.

"Bloody hell, mate. It's Sunday!" Dean shouted back as I sighed and opened my curtain. Might as well make an appearance. I seen that Neville, Ron, and Theo were all already up.

"Yes, but we should go outside and go for a walk or something. This room reeks of depression" he sighs glancing over at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and he winked back at me before turning around and trying to wake up Blaise.

We all eventually got around, I wasn't bothered to get dressed as I stayed in my comfy pajamas. Even though my friends were giving me looks like I was stupid, I couldn't disagree more. They are stupid for changing out of their comfy clothes.

"Why are we up again?" Blaise asked as we all left the room.

"Because your boyfriend thinks he's going to suffocate in that depressed room or something" Dean groaned as he yawned causing a chain of yawns to follow. As we made it to the common room we met up with Mione, Pansy, Marcelo, and the twins.

"Good morning everyone" Mione said as she gave me a hug. I hugged her back briefly and chuckled softly as I was the only one who got a hug.

"Morning Hermione" Seamus mumbled as he stayed in Dean's side wrapped up in the boy's long arms.

"I think it's a nice day to go outside" Pansy said as she smiled. There was an awkward silence as we all looked around at each other. The only thing on my mind was how I couldn't see Draco laughing along with the group. I feel like we're all just forgetting about him.

"I don't know what you've all planned to do but I can't deal with this" I grumble causing everyone to look at me.

"This isn't right. Draco was apart of us and now we're just acting like it's okay that he's gone. I can't do it" I feel my eyes tear up as I scowled and left the common room.

"Harry!" I heard Marcelo yell after me but I wasn't bothered to slow down. I ran outside to a random patch of grass that was relatively empty but had a tree that I could sit against. I brought my knees to my chest as I sat my head down on them. I'm so tired, my head is pounding and my eyes are throbbing.

My heart was racing as I took deep breaths to calm myself down. I felt my eyes flutter close and my vision go dark despite me freezing and my butt getting wet from the fresh blanket of snow.

"Harry, love?! Wake up!" I recognized the voice of Draco immediately but wasn't bothered to lift my head. As soon as I do he'll either disappear or turn into a no-nosed baldy.

"I'd say I'm surprised you're back, but my nightmares really lack variety. You seem to be a hot topic" I say without any emotion in my voice as I slowly pick my head up and put my chin on my knees.

I thought the joke was funny, but dream Draco didn't.

I am a little surprised to see him not looking 100%. His hair is messy, his face is red, and he looks like he's been crying.
