CHAPTER ELEVEN: nightmare (Edited)

Okay, soooo I know I'm being a bit slow with all the edits, and posts, *Dodges random objects being thrown* but I'm trying to get faster, and make them better. With that said: Enjoy!

Draco's Pov:

Draco woke up with a strange feeling that something was wrong. In suspicion to this strange feeling, he looked around the room, and there was no visible problem, but then again it was also very dark. He peered over at his clock and it read 3:30… cursing under his breath at being awake so early, he sat up in his bed glancing down at the Gryffindor Golden Boy. The only thing he really noticed was that potter was lying on a very inconvenient spot on the floor that made it difficult to get off the bed, but when he took a second glance he could see Harry kept shifting uncomfortably on the pallet. At first he just sat and watched curiously thinking he might be having a bad dream (He hoped that it was about him), but then he had a realization that if Potter was having as bad of a nightmare as it looked… He very well could wake up... screaming… And wake up every one.

Feeling panicked, he stared down at the raven haired boy just hoping that he would settle down, but he could tell that whatever he was dreaming was only getting more torturous. The boy who lived began to mumble and let out quiet, strained, groans.

The blonde just wanted to go down there and cover his mouth with his hand to keep the stupid boy from waking everyone up, and getting the both of them in some severe trouble, but he knew that if it woke up the raven haired boy that way, he would just bite the crap out of his hand, so the only other thing he could think of was to shake him awake.

The tired blonde let out a sigh realizing how much of a choir that keeping Potter here was going to be. He hopped down off the bed, being careful not to step on the living problem sleeping on his floor, knelt down, and began to shake him.

However, this only seemed to make the situation worse, and caused the boy to become more distressed. Draco's stomach did a flop when he heard an absence of snoring… He had to act fast….

The blonde jerked Harry up, and his emerald green eyes snapped open as he let out a ear splitting scream, or at least some of an ear splitting scream before Malfoy covered his mouth in attempt to muffle the scream…. But alas… It was too late...

Draco could see that Potter was pale, covered in a sheet of sweat, and seeming horror struck, but in panic he didn't have time to acknowledge this (nor would he in any other situation with anything less than an insult). He was trying to think of a way to hide him, and come up with a story for that scream because that had definitely woken up everyone in the whole dorm.

The two boys eyes met, both terrified, but for different reasons, and the blonde managed to spit out in a whisper, removing his hand, " Look, Potter, it was just a dream. Everything and one is fine, and I'm pretty sure that you just managed to wake up the entire dorm with your horrid scream. Come on get up on my bed, but only so I can hide you for that broom, okay? Now calm down already."

He had managed to say that whole paragraph so fast that Harry could just barely make out what he said, so he simply nodded, and climbed up on the bed, hiding up under the blanket, still shaking.

Draco shoved the pallet under the bed as fast as his arms would allow him to, and froze when candles started to be lit. The dull, warm light illuminating from the candles made it very visible that everyone in the Slytherin dorms were now awake, and looking at him as if he were crazy (which it came to his mind that he was, indeed crazy, because he was risking all of this, not to mention dealing with Potter for a stupid broom.), but with a slight bit of concern mixed in.

The blonde imagined what they must have seen and heard, and what it must look like to them. The light sleepers were awoken by strange mumbles, but didn't think anything of it probably just assuming that it was someone having a nightmare, or something, and then all of a sudden a blood curtailing scream shoots through the air. They scramble to light their candles and when they do, what do they see? Draco Malfoy sitting on the floor, still in his robes when he was supposed to be in his pajamas, and to top that off he was specked in a strange substance (the pie from earlier), sitting on the floor, looking startled.

Draco thought for a moment before he sat up and said, " I fell. Go back to sleep."

Most of them went back to sleep, blowing out their candles no questions asked, but then there were some others that didn't. Instead of retreating to their comfortable matrices to relax and go back to sleep, they decided to stare at him with suspicion. In response he shot them a nasty glare and growled," I said I fell. Go back to sleep."

With this, they stared at him for a second longer before retreating back to their slumber.

Harry's Pov:

Harry, who had finally gotten control of his breath, was expecting Malfoy to tell him abruptly to get off of his bed, but instead he just plopped down mumbling something about annoying gits, so Harry just decided to take it into his own hands to get up and get back on the floor, but as soon as he started to move a harsh whisper cut through the silence, "What are you doing?"

Harry turned his head, tilting it in confusion.

"You're sleeping up here. I'm not setting that pallet back up tonight, and it's too risky having you out in the open, anymore," The blonde whispered through the dark," If so much as your foot touches me. You. Are. Off. Without the pallet- You could go under the bed for all I care.."

Harry nodded, stuck out his tongue, and gave the silver, blue eyed boy a look that said, 'Going soft on me, are ya?' Then crawled back on the bed, letting the blankets swallow him. He was laying with his back facing the slightly taller wizard as he stared at the wall, thinking of his dream. Ron's screams rang fresh in his head, and the image of the dark shade of red covering his best friend burned in the back of his mind. He just kept repeating the words 'just a dream' in his head until his eyes grew heavy and he couldn't hold them open anymore.

Dx Nightmares! They're terrible! I feel bad for doing this to Harry, buut i still did it… Sorry…

But anyway… What did you all think? Review?

Have a lovely day! See ya next time!
