Mad Turns

|11|Tell Me|11|

Draco's heart ached while he listened to Harry speaking. It was paining him to know that the bad things are only happening in his head. It was killing him to know that everything might be a part of his imagination...

Yet he wasn't surprised when he awoke beside Harry and found out that everything going on is just a part of another nightmare. Dreams and reality were already way too similar for him to figure out what is real and what not.

But he had Harry. And that held that one part of him strong that was totally chained to the other boy. His mind left him a lot of tests to go through, but every time he got himself to escape the nightmare and wake up the scarred boy was always beside him. And he appreciated it.

"Thank you so much for being here, Harry" He whispered and clung to Harry's side as if otherwise it meant death. Then, he kept silent and examined the room. It was cold, yet comforting and everything was how it was supposed to be. Which wasn't common for his dreams. So he felt a bit safer than usual and stayed as close to his lover fearing that this one situation will end soon.

"Draco, why are you being so affectionate all of a sudden?" Harry asked in a whisper that was almost left to wander in the air. After a bit of silence the blond spoke:

"I apologize, Harry..I just had a bad nightmare and I wanted to make sure it's not repeating"

Harry opened his eyes carefully and looked over at the sentence, turning around to hug Draco "You should of wake me up immediately then. I'm here for you, you know?"

Silence. As expected. Draco often felt guilty when he had to ask Harry for help with things. This time was no different "I just didn't want to bother your sleep" He said to not leave the question unanswered.

"You wouldn't of bother," Harry said carefully but the other didn't pay him much attention.

'What have I been doing wrong?' He asked himself and rubbed his temples trying to fight the never-ending headache that made his skin pale, his veins burn and his vision blurry...Maybe he was just sick. Or maybe he was just crazy...Maybe he and Harry broke up and he was heartbroken so he went crazy and -

He shuddered at the thoughts and tried to shake them off as he stood up and got busy with getting ready.

"What do you have in mind?" Harry asked worriedly and watched him, not wanting to disturb him with standing up.

"I'm going for a walk," Draco said carefully and tried to smile at Harry "Nothing personal but I'd like to go alone" He added after that and received a nod as a reply.

Nothing personal.

As Harry thought over the words, he sat up and walked to the Common room to leave Draco at ease. Hopefully.

At the same time, Draco was already fully dressed and he fixed his hair before putting on a hat and the Slytherin scarf that was laying around. It had the smell of Harry because he had given it to him as a present once. As he headed outside, he didn't mind grabbing a coat...Which got him a few weird looks down the hall.

Soon after he found himself in front of the beautiful building they were calling their school. He raised his look up at the sky and enjoyed the calm view of snowflakes pouring down like small bombs ready to cover everything.

The blond let out a low sigh. He heard a laugh oh so familiar and before he realized it, he was facing a person he recognized and was terrified of.

But he just smiled at them and raised his voice "Tell me, are you really that strong as you say? If you dare to attack me at my most vulnerable time?"

"Yes, I am. Because you got yourself into a trap you weren't even aware of" The figure said in a grin and made Draco's bravery drop...
