Chapter 8: Classroom Confessions and Dreaming Delirium

Lena walked along the dungeon corridors until she came onto the statue on the man with the snakes at his feet, she felt uneasy about going inside.

She said the password and was tackled by Draco when she stepped inside.

"I was so worried" he whispered into her ear.

There were unwanted ears listening in the common room, Pansy was standing against the wall around the corner trying to see if she could listen in but it was impossible. Draco looked behind him, which caused everyone to return to their tasks.

"Do you want to talk here?"

He asked, her eyes shifted behind him. Everyone was back to eavesdropping on their conversation, she shook her head and they left.

Draco was the first to talk once they reached the safe location of a third floor room.

"This room used to be used for study groups but too many people were getting hexed"

he laughed as they sat down on the soft cushions that surrounded the floor.

"I didn't see you at the end of supper" she frowned and added, "I was actually hoping that you would come and save me from Harry. He has really changed."

She sighed and Draco tried to lock eyes with her, she smiled when they did.

"I would have but I was so blinded with anger that I left without even taking a look at any of the food"

He teased and they both laughed extremely hard when he heard his stomach rumbling.

"Well, that's what I get for caring about someone."

Lena felt her face flush and noticed that Draco was blushing heavily, it was such a contrast to his eyes that it made him look unnatural.

Lena took Draco by the hand and stood up, he was puzzled at first but the confusion came to an end when she flung herself around his neck and whispered something that Draco had never heard before.

"I love you"

"Don't feel bad, Ron. You'll get another chance to get her."

Harry stated once saying goodnight to Hermione. The two young men climbed the stairs up to their dorm room where they restarted the conversation.

"She didn't even look at me!"

Ron flopped on his bed while Harry sat on the edge of his,

"Yes she did but you just didn't assert yourself."

Harry grinned because he had a weird feeling when he thought of Lena with Ron.

"I, personally, think that she is madly in love with Draco."

Ronald stated and then intensified his argument and his anger,

"Also the fact that I'm a Weasley! If she's been hanging out with Draco then I'm sure that he's told her about my family!"

he shouted but stopped when the rest of the borders in the dorm came up the stairs and into the room.

"Hey Ron!"

Seamus laughed and pointed out that he looked as if he were ready to explode. Ron sarcastically grinned and then finished the chat with Harry.

"You have a better chance of getting her then I do. I think I'll just stick with the pretty girls, you can have all the beautiful ones Harry."

He rolled over and covered himself with his blankets. Harry had odd dreams of Lena in the hours of darkness to come.

"What?"

He held her at an arms length of him,

"I love you"

She mumbled again, pre-tears forming in her eyes. He held her close, he didn't know what to do. His heart raced and he couldn't think straight.

"I have never loved someone as much as this before, Draco"

Her entire body quivered as he held her even tighter. Draco was trembling as Lena was, he didn't expect her to say anything like that this early. He thought that by the time she devoted her love to him that he would know how to react. All he could say was,

"I love you too."

Lena didn't go anywhere that night; she stayed in that classroom with Draco.

After answering all her questions, he started to tell her about himself. It didn't matter to her that his entire family was into the dark arts but it did matter what he thought about it.

"I can't believe that it was only three days ago that we met…"

He shifted his weight around and let her rest her head in his lap.

"Actually, the first I saw you, I thought that you were the most beautiful, weird and rude person I'd ever met."

He smiled and watched her scowl at him,

"What do you mean, rude!"

Lena was pretending that she was offended and found some humour in the excuse he gave her.

"I mean that the fact that you didn't even see me until about 5 minutes after I'd come in and that you trailed off your sentences, like you weren't all there."

As he finished, he dimmed the lights and they changed their positions to accommodate the both of them. Draco and Lena were situated at the back of the classroom, shielded by potential onlookers and teachers. They drifted to sleep in each other's arms.

"Ron!"

Harry shouted out in a hurry, he felt a presence of danger.

Where was he?

He was resting on a tombstone in a cemetery. It reminded him of Cedric and how he had let theVoldemort become revived.

He shuddered at the thought. Harry glanced at his hands, they were rough and scarred and he winced at the pain in his upper leg when he tried to walk.

"Shit!" he cursed under his breath.

He searched for the source of the pain and found a long gash on his thigh. Sweat was running down his forehead and he stopped breathing heavily when he heard a scream. Harry forgot the pain in his thigh as he hurried to find the poor creature that had made that agonizing shriek.

He hurried along the headstones and finally came to a mausoleum. He darted inside when hearing another blood curdling scream. After taking notice of the sound of shuffling bodies, he heard the muffled cries that sounded like his name.

He pulled out his wand and slowly edged his way to the catacombs. He almost fainted when he saw what was happening.

The nightmare ended there.
