I gasp as I sit up in my bed, frantically gripping the bed sheets while trying to pull myself back into reality. After a minute my eyes adjust to the darkness as I pull back the curtains that surround my bed and stand.

Everyone around me is sleeping and I can't decide if the shivers running down my spine are from my feet on the cold floor or the terrifying nightmares that i just endured. My mind is racing and the only person I know I can go to for comfort is my best friend, Draco Malfoy.

My feet softly pad on the floor as I creak open the door to Draco's door and slip in. Crabbe and Goyle are both snoring loudly and I notice that Draco is the only one with his curtains pulled closed. I'm about to pull them open when I spot Blaise out of the corner of my eye. He shifts in his sleep and my heart races in panic but I calm myself down when he doesn't move anymore.

I open the curtains and let them close behind me as i stand by Draco's bedside. He's sleeping peacefully with lips open and sightly pouted and his usually slick hair is messed up and sticking to the pillow. Just seeing him instantly calms me down a bit.

"Draco." I whisper as I lightly shake his shoulders, attempting to wake him.

He scrunches up his nose and mumbles incoherently as he rolls over on his side and continues to sleep. Sighing quietly, i shake his shoulders again but a bit harder this time.

Draco suddenly bolts up and worriedly looks around the room. His tense figure finally relaxes when his eyes settle on me.

"Y/N? What the hell are you doing?" He asks groggily while rubbing at his eyes tiredly. I open my mouth to respond but the words get caught in my throat and tears begin to stream down my cheeks. Draco's sleepy features soften as he holds out his arms for me. Sobs shake my entire being as I collapse into his warm embrace.

"Was it a nightmare?" He softly asks as he soothingly rubs my back. I manage to slow the flow of my tears and I slowly nod.

"Is there anything I can do for you sweetheart?" Draco looks down at me worriedly. He always worries too much but I love him for it. His over-protectiveness is what sometimes keeps me safe. I honestly couldn't ask for a better best friend.

"Just hold me close and don't let go. Please." I manage to choke out the words. He nods and lays back with me, my head resting on his chest, his warm arms wrapped around me protectively. With the way I'm laying, my ear is right above his heart and i can listen to his heartbeat perfectly. The sound finally calms me and, after a little while, lures me to sleep.

As I'm drifting off I thought I heard a soft 'I love you' but it must have just been another part of a dream.
