Born To Love

Awake

Awake- Secondhand serenade

I'm trying real hard not to shake. I'm biting my tongue,

But I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,

I feel like I've won. You're my key to survival.

And if it's a hero you want,

I can save you. Just stay here.

Your whispers are priceless.

Your breathe, it is dear. So please stay near.

Born To Love; Chapter 3: Awake

The boys had stayed and calmed the girls down a bit after the attack, the girls had drifted off to sleep and the boys were going back to their own room.

"I hate to think what would of happened to them had we not been here." Theo said shivering slightly. The two other boys nodded in agreement.

-Not that we helped any.

Draco thought bitterly, wanting more than anything to rip him to pieces for threatening his Hermione.

"Your Hermione?" Blaise asked smirking, Theo also smirked at him. Draco blushed horribly red, and he looked like a tomato compared to his pale skin. "I didn't mean to say that out loud.." He muttered.

"Ah but you did, it doesn't matter. We've known for ages." Theo said smiling toward Draco as he held the door open for them to walk in, they stood outside their rooms talking. "How'd you know for ages? It only happened." Draco said stubbornly.

"Drake." Blaise said shaking his head. "You act as if we aren't your best friends and we haven't known you since before we could talk. We did notice after our third year when she had the balls to sock you one. We noticed how you craved her attention more, how after somebody was rude or mean to her you'd silently hex them, the jealousy when you saw her with Weasley or any other guy, we also saw you in the war. We saw how you jumped in front of Avery for her." Blaise said looking into Dracos molten grey eyes.

"We aren't going to judge Dray, it's not like we're perfect either. Beside nobody cares for blood supremacy anymore, maybe you should ask her out." Theo said smiling at him. "I'm going to bed."

"Maybe I will.. Yea, I'm going aswell night lads." They all nodded at each other and went into their separate rooms, they didn't sleep peacefully though. They were listening to the screams of the girls who woke up from nightmares all night. A few times they would go to get them but then hear the other two girls calming them down.

-I can't take listening to her screams much longer.

All three boys thought as they covered their ears to drown out the screams of Ginny Weasley.

The girls woke up the next morning tired and with a sore throat. They all got ready and put on their school uniform, they applied some make up to get rid of the obvious signs that they didn't sleep as not to worry Ron, Neville and Harry.

"Are you ready girls?" Hermione sighed. The other girls nodded. "As ready as we'll ever get." They all walked down the stairs and into their common room where they saw the three Slytherins waiting for them.

"You waited for us?" Luna asked softly smiling. The three boys turned around and smiled at the girls. "Of course we did, we heard you girls last night and we wanted to Check you're ok, plus B and Dray have to sit with Granger and Weaselette at the Gryffindor table." Theo said mocking disgust at the mention of the Gryffindor table.
