I've just posted a Carlise Cullen fic so if you're into twilight please check it out :)

"I'm sorry for snapping" Draco apologised look down at me with sad eyes, he had found me sitting alone in the library still reading books on dreams since they still did not stop, but nothing useful came up. "No Draco, I didn't trust you that's far worse than getting annoyed at someone for something they did that hurt you" I replied putting down my book and standing up, but finding myself still looking up at him. He gently touched his hand on mine, as though it was but a ghost of what was meant to be, beside me. We both looked at our hands and he hooked his smallest finger onto mine. He was so soft, treating me like a prized possession that he wanted to last for generations to come. Then he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine, they were rougher than before perhaps it was from the lack of looking after himself that had been taken place for the last couple of weeks that dried him out, but I didn't hate it. My eyes were closed, and my heart fluttered as his lips gently moved with mine. Then behind my eyelids, a flashed green light occurred, and a sharp pain rushed through my body as dead grey eyes looked down at me. I jumped back and gasped in pain, clutching my chest. "Thea, are you okay?" Draco gasped and held onto me making sure I wouldn't faint from the pain, but where his hand was my flesh burnt like a thousand forest fires so I flinched backwards. Draco's eyes widen and he snatched his hand back, thinking that perhaps he was the one hurting me, my breath quickened and the pain would not stop "Draco!" I screamed that was the last thing I remember before collapsing onto the floor and into darkness."She has been reading books on dreams Harry" a tranquil voice of an older man stated, "Do you think they might be the same as mine?" Another voice asked curiously "Perhaps". I began opening my eyes, and the vision of the Hospital Wing was a bit blurry for a while until it all came into focus again as though it was under a magnifying glass. I grabbed onto the soft sheets of cotton and sat myself up groaning as my body still ached, as usual, the wing was quiet despite the 50 something beds that were displayed along with the room. I could smell a sweet smell that made my stomach turn, it was a box of half-eaten chocolate by the side of me. With a sigh, I looked back up towards the two men that stood at the front of my bed with worrying eyes observing me. "A bit of a freaky thing to wake up to" I huffed in a grump. Dumbledore smiled reassuringly "We were checking in on you after I heard the news one of my pupils' fainting I had to come and see if she was okay" the old man promised, "Did Draco not count for one of those students you care so dearly about?" I challenged now crossing my legs beneath me so I was more stable when I sat up "Of course he does but you, I've had my eye on recently Miss Woods, obsessive research and getting involved with people you normally wouldn't think twice of. It all seems a bit strange doesn't it?" he peered over half-moon glasses waiting for a response but I had none instead I averted my gaze to avoid any more confrontation. "How are you?" Harry inquired his lips shaping into a frown and his eyebrows grossed "just peachy" I sighed. I was aware that my behaviour was downright awful and I should never have spoken to anyone like it, but recently, since the dreams, I had no control in my own tongue. Madam Pomfrey pushed her way through the boys and began rushing her words in a state of panic "don't start worrying her shes just risen, here drink this my dear it'll get you feeling perky again" she stated handing me a glass with a dark purple liquid in it "again might not be the right word" I commented then I a swig of the mysterious purple liquid. I wanted to spit it out but controlled my urges and swallowed it quickly then gagged a bit at the after taste "that's horrible!" I complained "what did you expect? I'm not exactly going around serving butterbeer" she rolled her eyes then turned towards the headmaster "think its best you boys leave to allow her to have her rest" she advised. "of course" the headmaster nodded "let us be going Harry" he instructed the boy but just as he turned away I grabbed onto Harry's wrist causing him to jump slightly."Please stay Harry, I'm so confused".
