Night was ignorant, shadowing the truth, the innocence, behind its rusty veil. Night was comfort, silence that blanketed the truth into a numbing afterthought. Night was here. Night was now. Night was time. It was time.

Draco’s eyes shifted from suspicious eyes to demeaning eyes to accusing eyes and suddenly jolted back, to her eyes. Sweet honey brown specks pulsed out from the alarming green. Her eyes laughed with her, they swayed with her.

Looking up only worsened the situation. It brought the blood up to her face in an alarming rate. Standing in front of her, smirking at her obvious discomfort, was Draco Malfoy.

Aliana had found that she could get lost in those eyes of his. The icy cover seemed to melt away every time she was close enough to see. Behind the clouded gray was a sparkle of bright blue. The flecks of them pulsed out from their cold surroundings and jumped at her. His eyes were so compulsive she could stare into them for forever. But she always managed to pull her eyes apart before she hit the point where she couldn’t turn away.

Breathing hard Aliana awoke to a bright and sunny room. Her dream coupling with the weather had dragged her back into a bad mood. It seemed that Draco was everything she wanted and everything she was trying to get away from. This confusion had suffocated her enough.

Sending chills down her spine he ran his fingers across her arm. His mere presence captivated all of her attention but any and all contact would wrench her out of reality. She was completely dissolved in Draco that she barely noticed his leaving until she opened her eyes and realized she could not longer feel his breath on her cheek.

The compartment filled with warmth as the journey slowly started. The trail of smoke falling behind as the train circled its way through the hills and the tree’s. Finally, after a holiday snuggled in front of fires and shivering in the snow, the prospect of school was falling back onto the students once more. The trip back to Hogwarts brought on feelings of joy and sorrow as the reuniting of friends dragged the realization of studying for exams along with it.

He was a mystery; an absolutely gorgeous mystery. Whenever he allowed a girl a chance to be with him, for more than one night that is, she reveled in her opportunity. Everyone reveled in her opportunity. It wasn’t very often anyone escaped a mere one night stand with the infamous Slytherin.

“That’s the scary part, Draco,” her bright green eyes flashed up to his face. “I didn’t remember doing anything until this school year when I started having these dreams."

The other members continued to stare at Snape as he slowly found a comfortable place to be seated. Once he did, however, he gave no indication of making a speech. His mouth remained shut and the little move he managed to make was to push back the slick pieces of hair falling around his eyes.

The two both stood opposite each other for a while. There was an understanding silence between them. Neither really wanted to talk first because neither was sure what to say. So without words Draco enfolded her into his arms and lets her know, just like that, he will never let her go.

Missing you has become my security blanket, my comfort, my light and my protection. Like you were in my life, missing you here has become my everything.
