Chapter 18- NIGHTMARES AND FINALLY..WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

Third Person POV

"Not able to sleep?" Savana heard Draco's voice.

 She was accustomed to this by now. Sometimes, she just couldn't sleep, whether it would be the Pansy's snoring, Nightmares, or just thinking, she would never be able to sleep. She would make her way to the common room, and sit watching the fire crinkle. 

She knew Draco had the same problem. They were never actually friends, in their real years at Hogwarts, but she knew he was going through Depression in their 6th year, when You-Know-Who had given him a task to do. They used to meet each other in the common room, late at night even then, only to talk about life. But in the morning, they acted as if nothing happened, even though they were both crushing on each other.

"Yup. Nightmares." She simply said, sitting down comfortably next to the blond boy.

"What kind of nightmares?" He asked me.

"I-I..well did you know what my boggart was?" She asked.

"I don't remember exactly but it was me saying something mean to you?" He said.

"Rejecting me. It- well that's sorts of what happens in my nightmares, you rejecting me, hurting me. Then sometimes, I dream of..you and the people I care about..well..dying, being injured, and it's so real." she said, a tear rolling out on her cheek.

Draco took her head into his chest and held her hand.

"I would never, ever, reject you or hurt you. And as for dying, I'm tougher than I look, Savana, and..I'll always keep coming back to you." Draco said, rubbing circles onto her hands, to try and calm her down

"I know..it's just..I'm being silly." Savana said.

"No love, you're not." Draco said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"What about you? Why can't you sleep?" she asked him.

"Well- um- my dark mark, it still stings." He told her.

Savana, took his forearm and started tracing the mark.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that all alone."

"It's alright, its done now." Draco said. 

"Hey- you're a good person Draco, and I owe you my life, you're the sweetest person I've ever met. You have a whole different side of you, and you can't let this filthy mark taint you forever." She said.

"I know- it's probably because the other active death eaters are still you know- active." he said.

"Yes, and Draco if you need to, you know..talk to me, I'm here to listen." 

Then Draco did the unexpected, he broke down in front of her, he started crying and sobbing. Savana just blinked for a second, then went to hug Draco, she put his head on her lap and entwined his hand with her.

"Shh Draco, it's okay, see, I'm here." she tried calming him down.

"It-it's jus-just, people come..an-and say such horrible things to me, they call me death-death eater and they leave me notes, they avoid me. I feel terrible." Draco said, sobbing.

"Oh no Draco, you should have told me, look I'll try to do something about it, alright?" she said.

"It's just..I know even I was mean to these people, and I feel so bad knowing that I caused misery  just like they're doing to me." 

"Draco, you're not a bad person, just someone who- who had no choice, who was forced into this life, robbed of a proper childhood, you had a reputation to uphold. Now, I know you've changed, and if those people out there can't see that, then they're just dumb." Savana told him.

Draco got up, and looked at Savana, they were so close, they could've counted each other's eye lashes. Draco leaned in, and Savana felt his lips crash into hers. She kissed him back and he cupped her face in his hands, after what felt like eternity, they pulled back. 

"I-I..Savana, the truth is...i love you." Draco said.

"I-I love you too Draco, ever since the 3rd year.." Savana confessed.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you, Savana. Will you do me the honour of being you boyfriend?" Draco asked, kissing her cheek.

"I-I, of course Draco!" Savana said, nuzzling her head into his neck.

They hugged, kissed, cuddled for the whole night. They fell asleep on each other, hand entangled, Savana's head on his chest and his other hand stroking her hand.
