Nightmares

Draco lay in his bed unable to sleep; nightmares had been plaguing his dreams. He stared at the ceiling, with a blank stare. His eyes itched with fatigue, as he looked to his left, at the blonde girl that lay beside him. He smiled when she stirred. He gazed at her; from her diamond skin, to her beautiful curves. His mind was sent back to the night they first spent together, the smell of her perfume, the number of times he pinched himself, hoping it wasn't a dream. His thoughts were cleared from his head when the sound of soft rain hit against the window. He stood, letting the covers slide of his body, gently landing on the bed. He was greeted by a cold wind that gave his skin Goosebumps; he smiled at the sudden feeling. He walked slowly forward, the floorboards creaking quietly. He arrived at the window and watched the droplets of water slowly fall to the bottom. He sighed gently and rolled his shoulders, groaning when they clicked. His head filled with painful thoughts when the light caught his Deatheater tattoo, he lowered his head.

"I need to tell her" he whispered to himself.

"Tell me what" said a dreamy voice from behind. Draco turned to see, a very sleepy Luna Lovegood sitting on the bed, covering herself with the covers. Draco smiled at the scene.

"Nothing" he said, beginning his journey back to the bed. He sat down next to her, covering himself and letting Luna lay her head on his chest. "Why are you awake" he asked, gently stroking her hair.

"Nightmares" she replied, in her care free voice. Draco frowned.

"Tell me" he said. Luna smiled and sighed.

"Well, me and my father were in the forests of Canada, searching for Crumpled Horned Snarlax's, when we were separated. I didn't know what to do, I couldn't find a town anywhere, then a bear appeared from a bush, I was terrified. It started to chase me, I ran as fast as I could, but the bear was quicker. I looked behind me, to see where the bear was and I tripped. Before I could stand the bear was above me, its breath smelt like death and blood. The beast roared and struck me, but before the claws touched my skin, I woke up" she explained, her voice full of fear. Draco smiled and held her closer.

"It's okay, I'm always here to protect you" he told her. She smiled and yawned.

"We should get some sleep" she said, Draco nodded and closed his eyes. "I love you, Draco."

"I love you too, Loony" he said. Luna giggled at her former nickname. She closed her eyes and quickly drifted into the world of sleep.

Morning came quickly for the couple, sunlight washing over their bare skin. Luna woke first, seeing her lover still asleep. She grinned and moved his hand from her side, placing it gently back on the bed. She slid out from under the covers and slowly tip-toed to the wardrobe, where she slipped off her pink silk pyjamas and grabbed a matching dark blue bra and panties. She next grabbed a pair of light blue jeans and slipped them on over her underwear. She reached into the wardrobe again and this time pulled out a plain white shirt, she smiled and let it slid onto her shoulders. She quickly done up the buttons and walked towards the bedside cabinet, where she picked up her wand and tucked it behind her left ear. She walked to the door, clicking it open and closing it behind herself. Luna walked down the stairs of her house, picking up a piece of clothing that lay on the floor. She reached the kitchen, a large room, but not the biggest; to the left there was a dinner table and a doorway into the living room, whereas, to the right there was a cooking area. Luna shuffled towards the cooker and placed a kettle on it.

"Incendio" she said, flicking her wand. The cooker ignited and sent a warm feeling around the room. She walked to the door of the house and looked out at the beach. "It's nice Bill and Fleur let us use their cottage for the week" she thought. Her mind spun with wonder at the beauty of the land. She smiled and unlocked the door, swinging it open. She lifted her foot and buried it in the delicate sand. Her smile grew, as she buried her other foot. She stepped forward, towards the sea. She breathed in the salt air and started to spin and run, kicking up sand as she ran, she ran across the shore line, the sea licking at her feet. She laughed loudly at the feeling. She stopped and looked at the rising sun, in the horizon; she sighed gently and wrapped her arms around herself.

Draco was woken by a loud, high-pitched whistling sound. He stood up and walked to his wardrobe, grabbing a pair of black trousers. He sluggishly walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen, turning off the gas. He paused for a moment.

"Where's Luna" he said to himself. He turned to see the door was open. He sighed and walked through it, out onto the beach. He scanned the golden shore, in search of his love. He smiled when he saw a person, with long blonde hair stood on the sand. He snuck over to the figure, without a sound. He stood behind her and slowly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Good morning" the girl said in her usual dreamy voice. Draco kissed her on the neck.

"Good morning to you, too" he said, placing his head on her shoulder. "What are you doing out here" he asked. Luna sighed lightly.

"Nothing, just thinking" she replied. Draco looked back at the cottage.

"The kettles boiled" he informed her. She smiled grandly and spun, catching Draco off guard. He fell and landed on the soft golden sand. Luna lay down beside him and put her head on his chest. Draco looked up and was meet by a pair of large, silvery grey eyes.

"Well played, Loony" he said, slyly. Luna giggled and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Would you like a cup of tea, darling" she asked. Draco chuckled.

"Yes I would, sweetheart." Luna stood and walked towards the cottage. She looked over her shoulder to see, Draco still lying on the sand. Draco sat up and stared at the rising sun. "I need to tell her. I can't just keep her in the dark" he said to himself. He looked down at his dark mark. Rage swelled in his chest, as he pulled his wand out of his pocket. He spun it between his fingers. "Obliterate" he whispered. He pushed the wand to the tattoo. He tensed in pain as the spell caused the tattoo to slither around his arm. He groaned through gritted teeth. He looked down and saw the mark vanish. He smiled weakly.

"Tea." He heard a voice from behind. He stuffed his wand back into his pocket and stood. "Are you okay" Luna asked, Draco nodded in response and picked up the mug. He bought it to his lips and took a sip of the hot liquid.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he said, wrapping his arm around Luna's shoulder. "Everything's gonna be just fine."
