Ch. 22: Nightmares

A/N: I'm baaaaack. Life is good, I will now write for the people inside my phone.

I tossed and turned, I was awake but had yet to open my eyes. Finally, when I did I woke up to being in a prison cell. It was grey, cold, and damp. Frightened, I jumped up and stared through the bars and into the hallway.

I saw a dementor floating down the hallway, which prompted me to back up to my cell wall. As it drew near and stared at me I could feel my soul leaving. But with a loud clatter at the other end of the hall it had stopped and began drifting to the noise. I peeled myself off the floor and started analyzing the other cells. Across from mine I saw Draco.. crying? I saw a familiar tattoo on his wrist, the same one my dad had. I looked down at my striped clothing and saw the same tattoo.

My ears flooded with the sound of My Lord screaming. Not at me but definitely in anger. With that startling me.. I woke up.

I shot straight up in my bed. I was drenched in sweat and my heart raced as my face was clammy. I looked out the window of the spare room, the moon wasn't even at the highest peak.

"It was just a dream.." I whispered to myself.

Unable to shake the feeling of fear I got up out of bed. I don't know why but I headed for Draco's room.

The mansion was cold and eerie at night, luckily his room was not far from mine and I silently rushed in. I hadn't really gotten a good look at his room before but the moon illuminated it perfectly. His Quidditch broom was mounted on the wall along with trophies. However his room was almost empty.. It's so bland and lacks personality. Mine on the other hand was filled to the brim with art and color. Everytime I painted something, Serenity would make sure I hung it up.

After scanning the room my gaze fell on Draco. He wore black silk pajamas. His hair was messy and almost covered his eyes. I moved closer from the door to his bed. He held the book I gave him in his hands but he was definitely asleep. I picked up the book and put a bookmark on his page. Then I turned out the small candle on his nightstand.

I looked back at the door and began to rub my palms, I still was feeling anxious about my nightmare. I walked over to the other side of his bed and put my hand on the blankets. I shook my head and began to walk towards the door when I heard My Lord.

"Go ahead, lay with him. He will protect you." He said in an almost caring whisper.

I looked back at Draco once more and felt a warmth in my heart. I didn't care about what would happen in the morning. I just quickly walked to his bed and crawled in. As I laid down I adjusted the blankets so that they covered more of him since he fell asleep reading. I laid on my side and stared at him.. he is so pretty with the moonlight on his face.

I didn't even realize it but I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. After I pulled away I felt my whole body warm up as I blushed. I turned away and covered most of my body in the blankets and fell asleep. I felt safe.. I felt happy.. I felt love.
