Draco Malfoy ☆ 𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆

Best Friend

       I can feel my heartbeat in my head. It's there and it doesn't sound any different. But I can tell it's broken. I don't want to feel like this. Why do I feel like this? Why do my eyes hurt. When did I fall asleep last night. I wonder how Cedric did in the tournament-

Cedric.

       I quickly open my eyes only to see I'm not in my room but in the hospital wing. The sun burning my eyes as images of the night before flash through my brain bringing tears to my eyes.

     "Thank goodness your awake dear your friends were starting to get worried." I hear madam Pomfrey state causing my gaze to fall upon her.

      "We're my friends?" I ask my throat sore from screaming.

      "There in the great hall for the last feast they will come visit soon don't worry." She says walking off.

     So I'm left to wait. And I do wait. But my head is keeping me occupied. Thoughts of the night playing in my head like a broken cassette that only repeats the same words over and over and over and-

     "(Y/n)!" I hear and my thoughts float away. Except the faces I'm expecting to see are replaced by one person.

     "Draco?"

      Seeing my rough exterior and tear splattered face he pulls me into a hug. And a giant 'I'll never let you go again' type of hug at that.

    "I'm so sorry for your loss." He whispers and I let a few more tears fall.

     "Thanks." I say bit it's so soft I doubt he could hear it while he's right next to me. But it's all I could muster.

     I was practically limp in his arms as he were sitting on my bed still. One of his hands on the back of my head letting my soft sobs echo into the crook of his neck and his other hand rubbing circles on my back the same way he did in third year. Him being something for me to lean on as my body feels so weak.

    "It will be ok, I'm here, your other friends will be with you. Your so strong ok. You'll get through this." He whispers softly into my ear as my brain whispers cries for help. Trying to explain that everything is going to be different now that he's gone.  But the only sound heard is my light whimpers, and tear drops falling to the floor.

      We start to hear shuffling coming towards the hospital wing so he gently lays me down in my bed as I look to the side as if I was trying to hide my tears. He goes behind a curtain on the other side of the room so he can sneak out when the come to my bed side.

      "(Y/n)? Are you ok?" I hear hermione whisper as she takes my hand sitting in a chair by my bedside. I turn my head towards her, then noticing all the Weasley children still attending school, and Harry were standing there.
   
     "I-I said everything, I said everything but goodbye." I say, my voice barely louder than a breath of air. Realization hitting my head making the tears pout out faster.

     "(Y/n) I'm so-."

     "I DIDNT EVEN SAY GOODBYE, HES GONE AND THE DREAMS ARE GONNA COME BACK, AND IM GONNA HAVE NO ONE TO LOVE ME ANYMORE, IM GONNA BE ALONE DONT YOU UNDERSTAND, ALONE, ITS, it's gonna.... it's going to be like every other night for that whole year. Being touched and my voice screaming as my head hits the floor and it's not going to go away, HE MADE IT GO AWAY." I  raise my voice. My face now cover in a mask of tears,pain, and tragedy.

    Everyone flinches as the sound of my horse voice yells through sobs.

    "What do you mean dreams?" Ron asks confused slightly a few tears falling down his face at the sight of me.

    "I- I never told you did I, I guess I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I had t-these dreams in third year. About the chamber. They happened every night. I couldn't stop them. He would be there in my face touching me I would be crying, weak and pathetic, then I would fall, my head hit the floor and I could feel it every time. Then it would happen all over again until my body woke itself up from all the screaming and crying I did in my sleep. I had to use charms to keep me quiet." I explain softer yet almost laughing at the thought of it. But not because it was funny but because I'm the idiot who thought that I would have to go through it anymore.

    Everyone looks at me with complete horror on there faces.

    "E-every night?" Harry asks.

     "Every night."

     "How did they stop before maybe we can stop them again."

     "They stopped because I felt safe with him, the only other way to stop them I found out bec-" but before I finish I stop myself.

      "Because?"

       "No sorry that didn't work I forgot." I lie and shutting my eyes.

       "Hey guys why don't we give her some space, madam pomfret said you could go to your common room for the night, so I'll walk you." Hermione says as the others leave.

    She walks me to the Slytherin common room then bids me goodnight. I then walk in and go sit by the fire place not wanting to sleep.

    It's now almost 2 am when I hear someone coming down stair and sitting next to me.

    "Hi." Draco says.

       I don't say anything but I lean on his shoulder.

    "I know you don't want to talk but I just want to say we go home for summer break tomorrow morning, and I wish we didn't, because you might not understand what I mean right now but, your probably my best friend, and I need you more than anyone else. You help keep me sane and I thank you for that. And now I'm gonna do the same for you ok. I'm gonna write you all summer because we can't see each other. Pretty much I just want to let you know I'm here for you." He says. I could cry anymore though. So I just wrapped my arms around him and he did the same.

     We stayed for a little while longer while he rubbed circles on my back. Until he stayed I had to get some sleep so I went to my room surprisingly having a dreamless night because I remembered the feeling of his hands calming me the few moments before.
