The Story Of Our Lives {Draco Malfoy Fanfiction}

37》 Just a Nightmare

Quite a lot has happened since the wedding night and the café attack. My birthday has passed, we had hid out at Grimmauld Place where we found out who R.A.B was, found Kreature and learned who had the real locket. Then, we snuck inside the Ministry while being disguised as other Ministry workers and managed to obtain the Horcrux from Umbitch- I mean Umbridge, who had it. We escaped just barely, after getting caught. The four of us were now hiding in a forest, trying to think of a way to destroy the Horcrux. About three days ago, we had spent hours attempting to destroy that stupid locket.

I was running and running in the forest. My bare feet ached and the sticks and stones scratched the bottom of my feet. My body shivered as the frozen air rushed past my skin, creating goosebumps on my arms and legs.

But it didn't matter that I wore no shoes or socks. It didn't matter that I only had a T-shirt and shorts on in this cold weather. It didn't matter that at the moment, my lungs were begging for air. What mattered was that I needed to get away from whoever the hell was chasing me.

When I reached a clearing, I stopped and bent over, setting my hands on my knees to catch my breath.

Suddenly, I hear heavy footsteps and heavy breathing coming closer. By reflex, I took out my wand, and turned around to face the person. I held the magical stick out defensively. But when I took a glimpse at who it was, I sighed out of relief. It only Draco, my beloved boyfriend. Letting my gaurd down, I dropped my wand on the floor and jogged over to him.

Though, before I could register exactly what happened next, Draco sent a jet a green light right to my chest. I fell immediately, lifeless.

I shot out of bed, breathing heavily, heart thumping fast, and body sweating a river.

It was only a dream...

"Y/n! Are you alright?" I turned to see a concerned Hermione kneeling next to my bed. "You were twisting and turning."

"I'm...I'm alright. Just a nightmare, that's all." I gave her a forced, reassuring smile. I could tell she didn't buy it, but she did not push the matter further. "I'll keep watch." Hermione nodded and I got out of bed, making my way over to the tent entrance. I took my chance to think about that nightmare.

What did it mean? Was Draco going to kill me? Is this a sign? Am I going to die? Is Draco still alive?

Ugh.

I'm probably only paranoid. I miss him. So it would make sense to dream of him. But through a nightmare where he kills me? That part doesn't make any sense to me. There has got to be a logical explanation for this.

My thoughts were cut short. "You're not fine, Y/n." Hermione sat in front of me. "You wear a troubled face. Tell me, what's wrong?" I sighed and began to explain what I had seen in my dream.

"What does it mean?" I asked when I concluded my explanation.

The brunette shrugged her shoulders. "You may not be fond of what follows, but, my guess is that Malfoy could be ordered to murder you. Not, that I'm right, though there is that 1% chance. Just like with Dumbledore. But before you come at me," she quickly added, seeing my annoyed expression, "you could just be paranoid."

I sighed. "I was thinking that as well. Maybe you are right. I am probably paranoid. I should forget about it. I mean, it was only one nightmare, right?"

***
Wrong.

| 2nd POV |

You had nightmares about Draco Malfoy constantly. Now, Harry and Ron knew about them too. It was eating at you. You would only get two to three hours of sleep. Nowadays, you were to frightened to fall asleep, thinking that if you did, you'd have yet another nightmare.

Bags were visible under your eyes and there was constant yawning coming from your very own mouth. You'd insist on taking watch all night, every night so that you stayed awake. And whenever you dozed off, you would immediately snap your eyes open and curse yourself silently.

The trio worried for you, saying that what you did was terribly unhealthy. And they were completely correct, hands down.
