You woke up.
Opening your eyes, you looked around. You were still in the field with Severus, picnic basket still out and the blanket over you.
"Severus?"
"(F/n), you woke up."
"So I was just dreaming?"
"Well, since you were asleep then-"
Severus was interrupted by you darting up and wrapping your arms around him.
"We need a plan for when we go to the Malfoy's." You said.
"We? Does that mean I'm going?"
"After the dream I had, yes. Yes you are."
Severus folded up the picnic blanket and put it in the basket as you stood up.
"Hey, Severus."
"Yes, (f/n)?"
"What happened? I don't remember falling asleep."
"You had finished eating and you just collapsed. I moved you into a more comfortable position on my lap and covered you up but you were out for an hour."
"That's a sign. This has happened before."
~Before the first demon war, (f/n) and The Lost Boys were preparing for the first battle at their base when (f/n) collapses on the spot. She dreams about events soon to come- the sabotage of their base and the death of one of her colleagues- the one they all called Knight. (F/n) woke up soon after and warned them of what had just happened when Knight was speared through the heart by the Demon King Vince.
The battle raged on for many hours until (f/n) and The Lost Boys were forced to retreat and build another base from the ground up. That didn't stop the demon army from marching on and hunting them down, eventually, a full fledged war occurred for 14 days, ending in victory for (f/n) and The Lost Boys.~
"Malfoy's a perv." You said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The dream, these things always happen."
You paused for a moment before speaking again.
"We'll go tonight. Let me tell you my plan."
So with that, you explained everything that occurred in the dream and what Severus should do if that were to actually happen.
~an hour later, back at St.Raven~
"I sent the owl Severus, are you sure you don't want to get something else to change into?"
"I'm sure, my usual robes will suffice. I did take off what you call the 'flowy' part like in the dream."
"Perfect, now we'll just wait for a response and be on our way."
Not even an hour later your owl returned with Lucius' response. The exact letter from the dream, word for word.
Instead of the dress you had worn in the dream, you chose less fancy attire- a pair of black pants and a Slytherin green, button up shirt along with a black bow tie.
"Ready to go Severus?"
"Only if you are."
You grab hold of his arm and apparate to the gates of Malfoy Manor. Lucius was already waiting at the gates.
"Welcome, (f/n) and Severus. I have been awaiting your presence." He said.
You and Severus enter and Lucius closes the gate behind you, taking the lead with his pimp cane.
Dinner went the same way as in your dream except when Lucius asked to talk to you.
Although he did attack you, you were prepared this time.
~this is where the dream leaves off~
You kick Lucius in the crotch and dash for the door when it busts open, Severus in the doorway.
"What should we do with him? It is his house after all." Severus asked, smirking at a now cowering Lucius.
"Perhaps we should Obliviate his mind of these events and welcome him back to dinner." You reply.
So that's what happened, the rest of the night ran smoothly with you and Severus apparating about an hour later back to St.Raven.
"Severus, keep your weapon on you, alright?"
"But why? I'm positive Vince won't assemble his army that quickly."
"You'd be surprised at what he can do. Just take my advice with a grain of salt and you'll be alright." You smile at Severus as you undo your bow tie and toss it on the nearest table. "I suppose you have a house to tend to an-"
"Yes, but there's nothing there to take care of. Unless you count sitting and doing nothing."
"Then I suppose you can stay here, but you're not staying all summer, this isn't a hotel, although I appreciate the company."
"Thank you, (f/n). Shall I stay in a guest room?"
"Well, I was planning on falling asleep on this couch, would you care to join me?" You sit on one side of the couch, back propped up against pillows, saving enough room for Severus on the other side.
Severus takes off his shoes and sits on the other side of the couch, getting comfortable by stretching out his legs.
"I want to thank you for saving me tonight. I feel as though I owe you something Severus."
"You were the one to warn me, otherwise I wouldn't have known to save you in the first place." He responds.
"True..... Goodnight Severus." You close your eyes and let your mind wander as you hear Severus return your goodnight. You felt him shift and feel a warmth surround you. Severus had wrapped his arms around you. You could feel his steady breathing and his heart beat as you slowly drifted off to sleep, your last thought being: 'and to think I was at the beach only two weeks ago..."
~in the morning~
You woke to a loud boom that shook your house. Your eyes shot open and you saw Remus run down the stairs, asking you what was going on. Severus had wrapped one of his arms around you protectively and his other hand was on his gun handle.
"It's happening. Vince is here." You dash to your room and wave your wand, opening a closet with a battle scarred set of war armour (light but durable). "Severus! Remus! Get ready, we have a war to fight!" With a wave of your wand your clothes from the night before are replaced with the armour.
