Every time he thought about it, Draco shook his head and stared in front of him with an absent look in his eyes, like he was reliving something from earlier days.
There was no way around it, the same conclusion he came to every time it crossed his mind.
He found her and she promised, she swore it. All he had to do was too remind her. What would happen if Draco didn't make her realise he had been there all along?
Draco fell asleep on the couch, tired of all the problems and thoughts in his head.
And he had such a good dream, better than you can ever imagine. But it ended in a nightmare. He dreamed about her.
They were standing in a beautiful, fairy-tale-like landscape at the edge of a forest with high, green trees. At the other side, there was a river and behind it grass, as far as the eye could see and further. She told him she loved him, Draco. He could've never believed it. His hand touched her brilliant face softly and she smiled for a moment. But then her eyes turned bitter again. She couldn't do it, she said with tears in her eyes. Draco tried to wipe them away, but she had already turned around and ran away. Draco tried to follow her, but she had already disappeared between the trees. There was no chance he would ever see her again.
What seemed like hours later in Draco's dream, he heard someone talk about her. She had suddenly died! No one understood how it could've happened; she had been such a healthy girl. But they all agreed at one point; someone must have been using magic against her. Her family and friends were clearly torn apart by her death, but Draco did not catch that anymore. The street faded in front of his eyes and everything turned black.
That's when he woke up, shocked. So that was what would happen, she would die! He couldn't let that happen to her. Against her will or not, she had no choice, neither had he. The promise was made and could not be broken, he had to find her and tell it, otherwise they would both be dead within three weeks.
