Sunlight,
the life giving globe
that warms the fertile earth
in which seeds germinate and grow.

Sunlight,
the life force that controls
our world and us
with its rays of warmth.

Sunlight, that brightens up our waking day
putting a smile upon
all those in dismay.

It had been a week and August thirty-first came bright and early. Tom Lay asleep in his bed, as the sun began to peek through the gaps in the thick curtains over his window, streaks of light shining on to his closed eye lids. He sighed frustrated in his sleep and rolled over. The sun was now streaming in onto his back making it feel warm. A small smile briefly appeared on his face as a drifted back into a deep sleep knowing full well he'd be expected up in half an hour.

Aneira Gwayne woke up with the sun light bright inside her room. She was lucky she had the whole room to herself, because she was the eldest girl in the orphanage, the others had been adopted by the age of twelve and considering she had only arrived last year at the age of fifteen she'd never been looked at twice. She got out of bed and quickly slipped on her dressing gown. Walking over to her dressing table she washed her face in the basin and dried it.

She then set about brushing the knots out of her unruly hair. She winced slightly at the pain but eventually the brush broke free. She then put it up into a tight bun because she knew she'd be expected to clean today as lessons would resume tomorrow. She got dressed into her work clothes and excited her room. She walked down the corridor to the stair case. She was about to descend when she caught a glimpse of light shining from under the door frame of the room at the end of the corridor. She crept closer to the closed door. The room was the furthest from everywhere and that was exactly what the occupant wanted. She knew that she probably shouldn't be heading towards his room with intended purpose of entering this early in the morning when she knew full well that he could be getting changed or even up and awake already but she couldn't stop her feet as they crept ever closer. She stopped right outside his door and took a deep breath. She'd be in so much trouble if he knew she'd been in side. Tom liked having his room to himself. He was the eldest boy in the orphanage and that enabled him just like her to his own room. She placed her small delicate hand on the handle and turned pushing it open and quickly creeping in. she pushed the door closed behind her and gasped as she saw the room filled with light. The brightness was magnified to the extreme in tom's room compared to hers. It was the most beautiful sight, and it filled her with hope and happiness. She felt as though nothing could go wrong just so long as she keep the sunshine with her.

Her eyes fell on the window and she noticed that the curtains weren't even fully drawn. She crept closer to window trying her hardest not to make a notice. She reached it and began to pull the curtains open slowly. She was halfway when all of a sudden she heard a loud sigh come from behind her. She froze eyes wide and heart racing. She'd seen Tom angry numerous times and she definitely didn't want it directed at her. She turned around slowly dreading every seconded. She caught sight of his bed and inched closer.

Her breath hitched in her throat and her eyes grew even wider. He was there laying asleep in a tumble of sheets. His chest rose and fell in time to his deep breathing. His eyelids fluttered and she caught slight glimpses of grey from beneath. He looked like an angel, so breathtakingly beautiful. His dark hair was a mess but it looked so perfect as usual. Aneira's breath began to slowly come back to her as she was positive he was still sounding asleep. She decided she should probably leave his room before he did awake. She turned to leave when she heard a moan coming from his sleeping figure. She quickly turned back concerned.

Toms Breathing began to quickened and his body began to twist in the sheets wrapping then around him like restraints. His hands gripped the quit fisted the material as he groaned again.

Aneira stared on in horror as Tom's moans and groans got louder. He began to mutter in his sleep. She leant closer trying to catch a few words.

"No, don't ….Malfoy….leave…her" he moaned. She stepped closer to his bed and sat down realising that he was having a nightmare. She reached out and took one of his hands in hers. They were huge in comparison but she found that her fingers fit perfectly in-between his as though they had been made that way. Her thumb stroked his palm and he began to calm down. His breathing slowed and his body stopped twisting.

It was when she felt him shivering did she realise that he was crying. She quickly stood untangling her hand from his and left the room. Knowing full well she'd never be forgiven for seeing him cry. She slowly traipsed down stairs and Mrs Cole Immediately put her to work cleaning out the pots and pans.

Tom was having a dream. It was his first one in a long time. He could feel his back was slightly warm.

He was running through the forbidden forest, his Slytheryin robes were billowing around him and his heart was pounding. There was an intense sense of panic as he continued running dodging trees and roots. He came to a clearing and watched as hooded figures began to appear. They encircled him and he found that he was trapped. One figure stepped forward and removed their hood a head of albino hair was revealed as well as a sneer of disgust.

"You lead us blinding to believe you, when you were nothing more than one yourself. You worthless half blood." Spat the man in a familiar drawl.

"Malfoy?" Tom said uncertainly.

"Yes, you idiot, it's me Malfoy." He spat.

"What are you doing?" Tom asked confused wasn't he the leader of the group. How had Malfoy been able to turn them against him?

"I'm your lord Malfoy I command…"

"SHUT UP HALFBLOOD. YOU AREN'T LORD TO ANYONE." Malfoy yelled pointing his wand at Tom.

He felt the heat on his back intensify and his body began to twist. His hands curled into fists and he clenched his teeth groaning. He wouldn't give into this torcher.

"Bring the Mudblood boys. We'll make him pay for leading us on." Tom watched as two hooded figures brought a body closer and threw it into the middle of the circle. The figure was wearing a dress and had a hessian sack over her head But Tom was pretty certain of who it was. He watched as she began to turn her head from side to side trying to hear what was going on.

"Now Riddle, would you like to tell us who this girl is. What she means to you Riddle?" Malfoy asked smirking at her pathetic attempts to break free of her bonds.

Tom gritted his teeth. He'd pretend he didn't know or care about her and they'd let her go as well as him. The heat and pain intensified again and he moaned collapsing into the dirt.

"Malfoy, stop…I …don't know… her." He said through gritted teeth.

"You liar." Malfoy said circling Tom's fallen form.

"'I'm not lying. It's the truth." Tom breathed.

"Well if it is the truth you won't mid me doing this will you?" he said Turing to her and pointing his wand. "Crucio."

Her screams echoed through the clearing ear splitting. She cried out in pain and desperation.

"No, don't ….Malfoy….leave…her." Tom moaned weakly. But Malfoy ignored his requests and pleas and continued. Smiling gleefully as he watched her body writher beneath his spell, he began to tire of the same level of screaming that was issuing from her form so he forced extra power into the curse. As the pain intensified so did her screaming. It was deafening and her body collapsed under the intensity unconscious.

"So Tom, she's probably so ruined and mucked up she'd be better off dead yeah?" Malfoy jeered he raised his wand once more as the two deadliest words began to form on his lips.

"NO." Tom screamed and lunged forward. Malfoy and the other hooded figures vanished in a puff of black smoke. The only things left were him and her. He inched closer and removed the hessian sack from her body. Her face was intact but her arms and legs were cut and bruised. Apart from all the damage she could have been sleeping. He lifted her head into his lap and sat there staring down into her face. Something wet rolled down his nose and off the end to land on her cheek. He was crying.

He awoke and sat up quickly. His face was cold. He reached up and quickly pulled his hand back, it was wet. He had really actually been crying. He got out of bed and got dressed. He then trudged down stairs and got to work cleaning the pots and pans trying to avoid her as much as possible.

It had been pretty easy avoiding talking to her and looking at her the whole day. But as the evening crept closer clouds began to appear. The sunlight had vanished early that morning and the day had been an average and overcast one. As he finished cleaning the utensils used for dinner. The sky outside opened up to a down pour and cracked and fizzled with lightning and thunder. Mrs Cole all told those to get off to bed Because Classes would be beginning at eight o'clock sharp tomorrow. She came past Toms room just as he was about to close the door.

"You'll be off early again tomorrow" she said more as a fact rather than a question. Tom nodded in response.

"Well, have a go time and we'll see you when you return, good night." She said closing the door behind her and heading down the stairs.

Tom drew the curtains trying to block out as much of the miserable weather as possible. He clambered in to bed and wrapped the sheets around him tightly. It was freezing.

He was just getting comfortable when he heard a small knock on his door. He groaned in frustration. Just great. He rolled out of bed and staggered over to the door. Pulling it open he was met with the shivering figure from his nightmare.

"Miss Gwayne?" he said puzzled.

"Tom. Um I was wondering… becauase…. It's you know because." She stuttered nervously.

"Just spit it out it's freezing out here." He snapped.

"Exactly… becauseit'." She said hurriedly.

"…what?" tom said puzzled.

She groaned "don't' make me say it again. I was wondering if I could stay with you because it's freezing in my room." She said taking a deep breath afterwards. There that wasn't so bad.

Tom stood shocked. She wanted to share his room who did she think she was. But never the less he found himself agreeing. "Fine, but only because it's freezing cold and I just want to get back into bed." He said angrily and opening the door wide he ushered her in. She stepped into his room and waited as he closed the door behind her.

"You better hope Mrs Cole doesn't think to go checking everyone's rooms tonight or we'll both be thrown out." He growled angrily. She nodded timidly and watched as he clambered back into bed. Once he had gotten comfortable he looked back up and cocked and eyebrow at her questioningly.

"Well come on the nights almost over." He said then noticing her nervous look he added Snickering." I don't bite and I'll keep my hands to myself."

She rolled her eyes a small smile appearing on her face and she crept towards the bed. He lifted the cover and she slid in beside him.

He had to admit it was a pretty good idea, sharing the bed, it made it so much warmer.

"I'll probably be gone before you wake up tomorrow so leave my room and don't mention it to anyone okay." He said with a hint of his usual coldness.

She nodded "You will write to me won't you?" she asked quietly."

"Yeah, I'll try." He said gruffly. She smiled and turned over on her side with her back to him getting comfortable and drifted off to sleep. Tom lay awake a bit longer dreading that he made have another bad dream but eventually he rolled on his side facing her back and began to fall asleep peacefully. During the night His arm circled her waist and pulled her slightly closer to him seeking heat.
