Slytherin Pride

Nightmares

Draco's POV

I decided to skip the rest of the day's classes. Is call in sick tomorrow or something. My eyes started to droop as I walked back to my dorm. I tried to count the number of hours I had slept this week and I counted a mere number of nine. I whistled quietly to myself, It was already Wednesday. The portrait was snoozing when I approached it. I tapped the frame and it woke with a start. Realization crossed its face as it raised its eyebrows. "No girl with you this time. Good, you were awfully loud last time." I felt my face go red as I muttered "piggilypuffs" and the portrait swung open to reveal a dim common room that was always cold. I shivered as I hurried past to my room and immediately collapsed onto my bed, asleep.

Of course that wasn't a good idea to sleep, because immediately the nightmares came back. I was laying on the ground with my surroundings looking hazy. I heard silence then a blood curdling scream, I leaped up and felt dizzy as I stumbled towards the sound. I felt around for the wand that I didn't have. The screams filled the entire house but they sounded closer now. They stopped abruptly and suddenly my vision went overly sharp and I pitched forward. I sat up quickly to see a doorway leading into a lit room. I crawled through the doorway my skin prickling. I found the dark lord holding my mother by the hair. She was crying my with her eyes squeezed shut. My heart churned inside of me as I picked up a pan from the counter planning to attack the figure I had feared the most my whole life. Voldemort was looking intently on my mother but suddenly laughed. "Ah, at last, the traitor, the no good, fragile death eater who couldn't hurt a fly. Have you come to protect your mother? To save her from my clutches??" I swallowed my head spinning as I nodded. "You can't stop me." I said visibly trembling. He laughed and caressed my mothers face. "Oh Draco, I wanted to have you on our side, on our team, so did your mother, she wanted you to survive, but instead of following orders you decided to take the path of a coward trying to do good. As for your mother, she's already dealt with." He smashed his hands together and my mother disappeared. I fell to the floor as the dark lord began to disappear turning to sand in front of me. Then the dream shifted. I was on a stranded mound of sand with a rickety old house beside me and the ocean to my left. The wind picked up and I heard a voice. A whisper telling me to walk. I followed the sound down the small mound of sand and to a field of dead weeds. "This way." It told me. I followed the wind that was pushing me forward. I saw a rock in the distance, that was the only thing in the field besides the weeds. The wind pushed me harder, until I fell at the face of the stone. "Read the name of the first death you have caused." I brushed away the dirt and read the words "Dobby, a free elf." Written on the stoned. I realized I was sitting on a grave. I felt my gut twist as I tried o call out and scream that I was sorry. My voice wouldn't work. A silvery form of my aunt Bella shimmered in front of me. "It's all your fault. Everything is your fault." I felt like crying. I knew it was my fault. I thought about it none stop. Everything was always. My fault. Bella skipped around and beckoned me to follow. Against my will I trudged on with her. I was sucked through time and I found myself staring at the face of Albus Dumbledore. He felt cold, and stale. I know it was the day of the funeral. Bella whispered in my ear as I studied the old man. "Yet again you kill, by mistake, as you told your mother, and yet here we are looking into the face of the professor that you took out of the students lives. You ruined everything." My breathing became labored as I stared into the face of a great man, that had been killed in my honor. My brain was going into an overload of doubt and consumption about how awful I was. Bella just laughed and jumped around me clapping at my reactions. "Don't worry, we have one more stop. I want you to see what your most afraid of. In the whole world. It's not your death, funny enough though it's a part of you that's dying." She shimmered and faded into sand as well then I felt sucked through space again and woke up standing in a dungeon with leaks every where. Then I spotted movement in the corner. I jumped and pushed up against the wall, but the figure didn't appear to be a threat. I decided to inch closer and saw that it was a girl who was hunched over a rail crying. I rushed over to help her, suddenly she spun around to face me. I fell back shocked, staring into the bright blue eyes of Ginny Weasley. Her face was tear stained and her eyes were shattered. "You left me..." She said he voice cracking and breaking." I wascaught off guard. "W-What?" My voice seemed to work but the whisper tickled my ear saying, "she can't hear you, she's too far gone." Ginny had tears streaming down her face. "You said you would come back, YOU PROMISED ME!" She screamed at the wall. "Draco...you said you wouldn't forget, I waited for so long, you never did. IM DONE WAITING! YOUR AWFUL! AND DREADFUL. I HATE YOU DRACO MALFOY! I HATE YOU!
You never let me do anything besides care for you! You always considered me beneath you! You broke your promises. You forgot my birthday every year!" She broke falling to her knees. I stood frozen. When was her birthday? Were we equals? Tears were streaming down my face. She hated me...she hated me!
"You know the worst thing about you? People have told you right? Others feel the same?! You continually let me down! Your never there for me. I needed you, I always took the blame, got physically hit and mentally shoved around to my wits end for you, and you didn't even notice! I saved you! So many times, and you don't care! You don't give a single damn about my struggles! You think you have it hard with the scary visions?! It's not about just you! You were never there when I pleaded your name, and yet I wait here in this rotting hole waiting for you to come and care for me! And I'm tired of it. I hate you." She folded up into a fatal position and cried. Then there was a noise in the distance that made her sit up. I kicked the wall and screamed. "Make it stop! Make it go away!!" The whisper blew past me again. "Careful what you wish for." And I turned to see Ginny with Bella behind her. She yanked her hair up and stabbed a dagger through her stomach. Ginny gasped and I screamed in rage as I ran towards her. Bella was gone and Ginny slumped forward. I caught her in my arms and kissed her forehead. "H-hey. I'm here. Please." Ginny's eyes widened and she cried out in pain her mouth starting to trickle blood. "Y-you, always let me down. Your never there for..." Her mouth over flowed with blood and she fell limp in my arms.

I sat bolt upright mid shout. I looked down and saw my shirt was stuck to me dripping with sweat. I ran my hand through my hair and came out soaked. I closed my eyes but all I could see was Ginny blood filled mouth behind my eyelids so they shot open again. My chest was hammering and I felt light headed. I needed to get a drought to fix this, I couldn't go to a professor. Defiantly not Ginny, not Luna either. My mind clicked to hermione. She could fix anything. I got up out of bed and sprinted out of the dorm door.
