Tara is awoken by a seriously disturbing dream and doesn't quite know how to function the day after. She makes a desperate attempt at normalcy despite this, but her hopes are dashed when she meets Alexander, who claims he's been able to see her dreams for years and that she is in grave danger. She has to pack up her entire home into one suitcase (literally) and leave everything behind in order to save herself from a cosmic horror that awakens when she sleeps.
A love story involving horrifying nightmares, creatures that lurk within the folds of our mind, and magic.
A lot of magic.

Rating: PG-13 Pairing: HP/DM Disclaimer: "Harry Potter" and all the characters belong to J.K. Rowling; I do not own it. A/N: This is my very first fan-fiction ever, which I wrote way back in 2004, so the 6th and 7th books did not yet exist, and that is why certain things are different from the canon in this story. I have touched it up a bit and corrected some mistakes that had been made, but other than that I have decided to keep the story in its original state, since this is how 19-year-old me wanted it written. Thank you so much for reading it, I hope you have enjoyed it! Have a lovely day! ^^ /Pipe.Complete
Enemies - the updated version | dm
It's kind of unsettling how happiness and joy can abruptly turn into feelings of misery and despair at any time. It's incredible how one person can completely transform your life, and how, when they go, they can completely reverse that transformation and leave you feeling completely different. When someone ends their life for you, even though they had a long life ahead of them, you're somehow expected to just move on, no matter how long it takes, right? Even though we were intended to be lovers forever, one of us had to say goodbye and left, therefore they refer to us as enemies to lovers. - (this is an enemies to lovers story) Despite driving each other insane, Mila Blackwood and Draco Malfoy are unable to determine whether their feelings are love or hate. Since they first arrived at Hogwarts, Mila and Draco have been adversaries. However, things are now changing, and they find themselves unable to keep apart. They are unsure if this is a good or terrible thing. - Highest Rank: #1 in dracomalfoy, draco and harrypotter xComplete
