My head was pounding, and my eyes wouldn't stop stinging. My face was buried into my pillow, hidden away in the darkness. When I rolled over to my right and looked out the giant bay window, I saw more darkness and the crescent moon. I stared at it for seemed like hours but was only a few minutes. I wanted to cry, kick, scream, something. In my internal panic, I heard a moaning yon to my left side. I forgot I wasn't alone.

"You okay, love?" Draco asked, his voice drenched in worry.

I breathed in deep and looked over at him. His beautiful grey eyes staring sleepily back at me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied, and he knew it.

He sat up and looked at me with concerned and puzzled look. He knew me way to well.

"I know your not. Your restless and your eyes are red. You had another nightmare, didn't you?"

"Yeah." it was almost a whisper.

I looked away back to the window when I felt his arms slither around my waist and pull me close.

"I'll protect you." He whispered soothingly into my ear.

I nuzzled into his pale and bare chest, inhaling his intoxicating and soothing scent deeply.

"I love you." I said it into his chest.

"I love you too"
