Cold wind was blowing into my eyes. The only thing I could see was Bellatrix, laying on the ground. Not moving.

"No no no, Bella..." I was desperately hoping for her to open her eyes. My own tears blurred my vision.

"Please, don't do this to me" I was nearly screaming. I touched her cheeks, which were as cold as my own hands. I heard a dark laugh behind me, which could belong to only one person.

"She's not moving.. s- she's not..-" I said, turning to look at Voldemort. He had a big grin on his face. Soon there was a huge puddle of blood around Bellatrix.

"What... Bella no" my voice was breaking.

"She's dead" The Dark Lord spoke, coming closer to us. "She's dead because of you."

I began to shake. My hands were covered with blood, Bellatrix's face was as pale as never.

"No, no please not her... take me, my Lord. Please take me but not her, I'm b- begging you."

"You did this to her" he grabbed my jawline to make me look at him. "It's your fault. You have her blood on your hands" he gave me a dark smirk, then pushed me back to the ground.

Voldemort start to walk away.

"No, no! T- take me..." I was crying hysterically. Soon the blood was on the whole ground of my vision. "Please don't leave me..."

‧₊˚.

"Y/n."

"Please d- don't leave me..."

"Y/n!"

I felt someone shaking my body. I finally opened my eyes, breathing fastly.

"It's okay, you're alright" Bellatrix started to stroke my cheeks, pulling away the messy hair from my face. Bellatrix. She was here. It was just another dark nightmare, actually I didn't remember which one in this week. She pulled me close to her, closing me in her warm arms. I started sobbing, even more than I had through my dream.

"Shh it's okay, just breathe and listen to my heartbeat" Bellatrix said, stroking my hair. I hugged her tightly, concentrating on her heartbeat. After a few minutes I finally calmed down.

"It was again the same dream... you d- died and I couldn't save you.." I said, looking at her. I saw the sadness in her eyes.

"It was just a dream darling, I'm here" she wiped up my tears with her thumb.

"I hate him... it's almost a month and he's still haunting me in my dreams, I can't do it anymore Bella" I said, laying in the crock of her arm, my eyes hurting from crying.

"We killed him, he won't do anything to you. Even if somehow he wanted to, firstly he would have to fight me which I wouldn't allow to happen."

I let out a loud sigh. I was tired of it all.

"My sweet girl... if I could, I would kill him once again just to make you feel calm and safe" Bellatrix said, scratching my hair lightly.

"I am safe, with you" I answered, playing with the rings on her other hand.

"I know" she placed a soft kiss on my forehead. "And I swear, we'll get over those nightmares, together."

I started to make circles with my thumb on her hand which I found calming.

"What's the time?" I asked after a while, looking into her dark brown eyes.

"9pm. You fell asleep before the evening so I left you here to rest, I know how tired you've been for all these weeks" she answered, stroking my cheek with the back of her hand, lightly brushing my lips with her thumb. "I'm gonna make you a tea, I'll be back in a few minutes" she said, trying to get up from the bed.

"No, please don't leave me alone right now" I said quickly, grabbing her hand.

"Alright, come here" she opened her arms to take me up. I put my legs around her waist, holding myself by the back of her neck. She kissed my cheek as we were walking down to the kitchen.

When we walked to the kitchen, she sat me on the counter and settled the kettle.

"Since when you don't use house elves for this?" I asked with a tired voice.

"I don't know, maybe since I want to do something good for my girlfriend?" she answered, taking the mug out of the cupboard.

"Bella, you know you don't have to do this. Your presence is enough" I said, extending my hand into Bellatrix's direction. She took it and squeezed tightly, coming closer and standing between my legs. She smiled softly, what literally melted my heart.

"Are you okay?" she asked, giving me a worried look, going up and down with her hands on my waist.

"I'm trying to be okay" I started to play with her curls. "Thank you for making it easier."

"Anything for you" she said, kissing the top of my hand.

‧₊˚.

When the tea was ready, we moved to the little living room. Bella sat on the couch and patted her lap. I sat on it and wrapped my arms around her neck. Flames from the fireplace were lighting Bellatrix's face, making it look soft and warm.

"Your tea" she gave me the mug. I took a sip and hummed to myself.

"You should 'do someone good for your girlfriend' more often" I smiled, looking at her.

"Maybe I'll think about it" she answered, giving me a smirk, taking my mug and placing it on a small table. I snuggled closer to her, putting my head in the crock of her neck.

"I don't know what I would do without you" I said, closing my eyes, breathing in her magical scent. "You're too good for me."

"Don't forget that I'm the mommy here. And I'll do anything to protect my baby girl" she said, kissing my nose. "And I think my baby girl is tired now."

I nodded in answer.

"Come on, we should go to bed."

"I'm scared to fall asleep" I whispered.

"Don't be. He's not stronger than you, we fought him. Now he's not able to do anything to you" she put one of her hands on my cheek, looking into my eyes. "Especially when I'm around. And I promise you, I will always be here, protecting you from the harm" she kissed my lips, closing her promise.
