Draco ran through the forbidden forest at a speed like no other. Panic courses through his body and worry replaced his usual cocky smirk. "(Y/N)!" He called as he continued running.
He abruptly stopped to listen in the centre of the wooded area. A crow suddenly took off from the branches above him as he looked up in fright. The area went silent. Draco turned his head, looking all around for any sign of you. A faint cracking of a twig was heard behind him as he quickly turned to face the noise. Five or so Death Eaters began running towards him urging him to bolt through the forest away from them.

Draco soon came to a small clearing where you were lead, life less on the ground. A tear trickled down his pale cheek as he sprinted over and scooped you up into his arms. "No. (Y/N), please. You can't be dead. No. I need you." He pleaded. Draco stroked your soft cold cheek as more tears fell from his eyes. He hugged your limp body close to him as the Death Eaters approached.
Suddenly, he heard the faint cackle of his Aunt and the crushing of leaves as someone got closer to him. The tip of a wand was placed on Draco's shoulder, forcing him to look round.
Standing before him was the Dark Lord himself. Draco turned around quickly to face the wicked man. "Draco. Now is your time to choose. The right side or the other side." Voldemort spoke slowly with the elder wand in his hand.
Draco said nothing but instead scowled at the Dark Lord urging him to swiftly perform the killing curse.

Draco abruptly sat up, eyes wide, breathless and looking around frantically. 'It was a dream. Just a dream.' He told himself, trying to calm his frantic breathing. Draco fell back onto his bed, his head sinking into the pillow beneath him. The silver haired boy tossed and turned but could not get back to sleep. His thought always came back to you.

Beginning to get fed up of his lack of sleep, Draco pulled his body out from between the warm sheets, and crept out of the boys dormitories. Stepping lightly down to the 6th year girls room, he snuck in and closed the door without making a noise. The air was cold in the lower part of the castle so he hugged his arms around his slim frame to try and keep the warmth within him. He walked over to your bed cautiously and poked you lightly.
Draco was very weary of the other two girls on the room but decided that they wouldn't mind if he just slept in there.
You began to stir and slowly opened your eyes to see Draco's face at the side of your bed. "Draco? What are you doing up at this hour?" You enquired in your half asleep state, looking at your tired boyfriend in front of you.
He shuffled nervously, crouched next to the warm bed. "I had a bad dream." He admitted shyly, knowing you were the only Slytherin that wouldn't make fun of him for it.
You smiled sweetly and shuffled over in your bed, pulling the corner of the duvet up so Draco could slide in next to you.

He settled in beside you, laying his head on your chest as your engulfed his body into a warm hug. Kissing the top of his head you whispered softly to him "Do you want to talk about it?"
Draco shook his head. "I'll tell you in the morning. Right now, I feel better." He told you, snuggling in next to you.
You soon heard the older boys breath even out into a steady rhythm as he fell asleep.
You smiled, knowing he was okay, and fell into a deep sleep with Draco in your arms.

The morning came all to quickly and you knew Draco had to get out of your dorm before the other girls woke up.
"Draco." You repeated, poking his perfect, squishy face until he woke up.
He woke up, staring with his big grey eyes up at you and smiling softly.
"Morning Princess." He smirked, wriggling his body up so his lips were in line with yours.
Giving you a sweet good morning peck on the lips, he swung his body out of the warmth and safety of your bed and crept to the door, doing his best not to wake the other girls. "Meet me in the common room before breakfast." Draco spoke softly. You nodded, smiling at the cocky Slytherin who gave you a cheeky wink before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
