Disclaimer: I own nadda, nothing, zippo. I WISH I did, but I don't. I only
own Chelsea.
A/N: Some things in this chapter and in others I will be using from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, just briefly. I most likely won't be using names, but some of the things she will be thinking and talking to her friends about are from that show. So be warned when you read something that may be familiar.
Warmth Beneath Cold Eyes
Chapter 3
Nightmares
Black, darkness. The forest appears in front of her. She looks behind her, and sees hooded figures coming toward her. She runs toward the forest, looking back every once in a while. She runs, faster and faster until suddenly, she trips. Instead of hitting the ground, she falls through a hole. She lands on the ground, and when she looks up, there are hooded figures all around her. They quickly grab her, and drag her through a strange looking tunnel with odd paintings on the walls.
The hooded figures take her, and she suddenly sees a bigger, hooded figure, sitting on a chair looking thing. They throw her to his feet. She looks up, and he speaks to her.
"There you are, my child. I have been waiting for you for many years. You have finally returned to me!" He slowly lowered his hood, and what she saw made her scream. Slowly she felt herself fading, and she closed her eyes. When she opened them back up, she was screaming, and she could see a strange red headed kid and a boy with unruly hair.
"Chelsea! Chelsea, calm down! You were only having a nightmare." The read- headed boy spoke.
"Wh.What happened?" Everything slowly came into focus. She recognized the red head as Ron, and the kid with unruly hair as Harry. Then suddenly, her dream came hurtling back at her. She got a very scared look on her face, and Ron slowly pulled her into his arms and hugged her. Over the years, he had become more comfortable with hugs. So, he just sat there, hugging her.
Chelsea's POV:
Wow. That dream was incredible. So scary, and so REAL. Wow. Ron's hugging me. Strangely, it is very comforting, so I hugged him back. I buried my head into his shoulder and could feel the tears coming into my eyes. I tried to shake them away. I haven't cried in such a long time. Not since I was little. So, I didn't cry. Just sat there, my head buried into his shoulder. Who was that guy? He was so scary, yet familiar. He reminded me of someone I had once met in America. In America, demons were a reality. My friends and I had always been fighting them, and there was this one, in particular, that she always remembered. Very powerful, and ugly looking. I got to get some air, and if not air, I just need to get walking around.
End POV
"Thanks Ron." She mumbled. She got up, stumbled, and headed for the compartment door.
"Hey Chelsea, where are you going?" Hermione said in a worried tone.
"I need to take a walk. Think about some stuff." So she opened the door, and slid out, shutting it behind her. Walking definitely felt better than sitting down being bombarded with questions. She needed to find an empty compartment. Maybe she would take a nap.
Just her luck, she happened to find an empty one. She walked in, and closed the door behind her. She slowly layed down on the seats, and fell asleep quickly. She had hoped that after she fell asleep that she would feel a lot better. Oh boy was she wrong.

Draco sat there, looking out the window, deep in thought. The past few hours had really made him think. Looking at Crabbe and Goyle, he realized that he needed to take a walk. He got up, excused himself from them, and walked out. He needed to find an empty compartment to think by himself.
Walking around, he could hear all the excited first years jabbering about the new year. He groaned, and walked as far away from them as he could. He finally find a compartment that seemed to be empty, and he walked in there, and flopped himself down on one of the seats. He was startled when he looked on the seat opposite from him and saw a girl, sleeping silently. He looked at her, and she slowly turned around to face him. He was about to leave, when he saw who it was sleeping.
It was her, the girl he had caught and had kissed him earlier. He smiled, remembering. He didn't even know the girl, and she had kissed him. In that short kiss, he had felt so much emotion, and electricity. But something inside him told him not to think anything of it. He didn't even know why. So he just sat there, watching her sleep.
Suddenly, she started to shake, and started screaming. He ran over to her, and tried to shake her awake, whispering to her.
"Hey, hey! It's ok. You were just having a nightmare." He whispered to her. She woke up with a start. She looked up, and looked directly into his green, cold eyes. She sat up, still staring at him. She tried to stand up, but failed, falling onto him. She was laying on top of him, and he thought that it felt good. He just sat there, staring up into her eyes. Then the old Draco started to come back to him.
"You can get off now." He said, pushing her off. She just sat there, a blank expression on her face. She was looking at the floor, looking scared. Draco's mean expression softened at that. He walked over to her, and sat down, putting his arm around her. She layed her head on him, and closed her eyes.

Chelsea's POV:
I had that dream again. What did it mean? It was so real. And when I woke up, there he was. The boy I had kissed earlier. His blonde hair was dangling over his eyes, as he was telling me that it was just a nightmare. Well, duh, I thought. Of course it was a night mare. I sat up, and stared into his eyes. I tried to get up so I could get balanced, but I failed horribly. I suddenly found myself laying on top of him, and I didn't want to move. I looked into his eyes, and was startled when he said, "You can get off now." It hurt for him to say that, but I figure he was probably being squished, so I got off him.
End POV
She sat there, her head on his shoulder, and his arm around her. She could stay there for a while, but she knew she couldn't. She look out the window, and could see a large castle coming into view.
"We're almost there." I muttered, barely audible. He looked at her, and looked out the window also. He nodded, and slowly got up. He offered her his hand, and she got up. They stood there for a minute, and she slowly hugged him, saying thank you. She could feel the tears threatening to come again, but she still fought them. She couldn't cry. It just wasn't her. So she pulled away from him, and kissed him again, like before, on the lips. It was only a quick kissed, but just enough to make him want more. She walked over to the door, and looked back.
"See you at school, Draco." She whispered, and walked out.
He stood there, stunned.

A/N: So, did you like it so far? I know, it's not a cliffhanger, but I didn't want to put one. So, here you go. A brand new chapter! I will try to post another one soon.
