The slytherin prince and the Quiet Gryffindor

chapter 10

Theodore's POV

She did it again last night, his screams must have woken her. She came in and stopped the nightmares again, then without a word she left. The strange girl, stopping nightmares as if that was a common thing. The nightmares didn't come back after she left. He slept through the night and in turn so did I. I should wake him, he'll be late again but the sleep will do him some good. I go to stand up, intending to quietly get ready for the day then I hear him stir. I look over and see him sit up in bed, his hair plastered to his head with sweat from the night before. 

"Another nightmare?" I ask.

"Yes," he mumbles back, not fully awake.

"Same one as usual?"

"kind of?"

"What do you mean kind of?"

"It started out as the normal one but then it was cut short... It just stopped." He seemed a bit  confused and I considered telling him about the quiet Gryffindor who stops nightmare but I decided against it. Draco Malfoy doesn't accept help from others easily especially not Gryffindors. 

Elizabeth's POV

I woke up more tired then usual. I hadn't gotten my normal amount of sleep due to a screaming Slytherin. I wanted to ask him about them. Ask what they're about and what he's tried doing to get them to stop but I know he would never talk to me. Maybe Theodore would but that's also not likely. I decided to spent the day practicing some spells, I was getting quite good at wandless magic but it tends to draw a lot of attention so I figured it was best to go to the room of requirement and do my practicing there where no one could disturb me. Finding the right wall was easy I had been here many times before, I remembered training here in secret with Harry and the others but I hadn't been back since. At first I was a bit worried that the room had been damaged in the war or that I had somehow gone to the wrong place. The door took longer to appear then normal and it wasn't as grand as it had been before. Once I walked in I realized why. The room had given me a different room. Not a training room but something much more comfortable. There where a few couches throughout the room and many lamps, there was also a warm fire burning in the center of the back wall. This room was smaller then the one I had been in before but it was perfect for what I had planned. I could see myself comfortably spending hours in here, as usual the room knew exactly what I needed. With that thought in mind I sat in one of the comfy chairs and got right to practicing.

Draco's POV

The nightmares stopped again, two nights in a row. at first I thought that maybe it's because I'm back at school but I was having nightmares at schools before the war. I pushed the thought aside and began my day. Hopefully it will be a quiet one, I actually got a few hours of sleep last night I don't need that to be ruined by some idiots. I figured it was best to get out of the Gryffindor common room, they tend to give me a headache. I decide to take a walk out by the forbidden forest, not many people go out there.

I spent about an hour and a half out walking before I decided it was probably a good idea to get something to eat. Before I even make it to the kitchens I bump into someone and they fall to the ground. Normally I would keep walking but I'm in a rather good mood today so I decide to at least see who it is. I look down and it's the same kid that was in my spot at the Slytherin table the first day.

"James right?" I say looking at the little first year.

"Justin actually...Sorry" he mumbles looking at the ground.

"You're a Slytherin, don't appologize." I say. He goes to reply when he's interrupted by Pansy.

"get lost kid," she says."I've missed you Draco."

"I'm not in the mood Pansy," I say as I walk away. Suddenly loosing my appetite. All I really wanted was a quiet place where I could take a nap nightmare free. As that thought crossed my mind I watched a door appear on the wall nearest me, I hadn't realized that I was walking by the room of requirement. Without a thought I walked through the door too find a cozy room perfect for sleeping, only it wasn't empty.

"What are you doing here Elizabeth?"
