"Je t'aime"

It was snowing and everywhere looked like the fantastic winter wonderland of children's dreams. Draco had asked her out that day, Christmas Eve and the anniversary of their first kiss many years ago...

"Draco...you know I can't speak French" she giggled, slipping her hand into his and edging closer to his body for warmth. Snow settled in her hair and her face was pink with cold but whenever she was near Draco, everything seemed warmer.

"Je t'aime toujours, s'il pleut ou s'il neige je t'aimerai" he whispered in her ear. She flushed as she didn't understand what he was saying and tried to pull away in embarrassment but he held her tight within the circle of his arms.

"Draco?" she said, more a question than a statement.

He held onto her tighter than usual.

"Know that...know that I'll always love you...I'll always be with you...be happy beloved" he whispered hurriedly and pulled away.

There were tears in his eyes, slowly trailing down his handsome face. Why? She tried to speak, to ask him why he wept, but found that her voice had left her. Her beloved Draco stepped away from her and she found that she couldn't move.

Slowly he stepped backwards and held his arms up to the sky face pointed to the heavens.

"Goodbye" he whispered and suddenly choked, blood seeped down the sides of his mouth. He staggered towards her and fell to the snowy ground, arm outstretched before him, no breath escaped his lips. Behind him a smirking figure calmly cleaned off a bloody knife and stared directly at her.

"Hello Mother" the person said, their voice familiar but not. A chill ran down her spine and she could almost feel the person's eyes on her

They reached back to pull off their hood, it fell back and all she saw was a head of hair so blonde it was nearly white before...

She woke up screaming, clutching her chest and looking wildly about for her nightmare attacker.

"Love? What is it?" a sleepy voice from her right asked, a big hand settled itself on her shoulder, drawing her back down to the warmth of the bed.

"Relax darling, it was only a nightmare...just that..." she nodded hesitantly and squirmed closer to the big body, trying to draw all the warmth of her love into herself.

"Yes...it was just a dream. I'm sorry to have woken you Draco" she said, her terror subsiding. Draco chuckled and slid his hand along his wife's body, resting at the flat abdomen.

"It's fine my love...just calm down, you don't want to harm the baby" he said.

She nodded again and closed her eyes. Letting her body relax as she knew it would please him. He sighed and drew her closer to him, her eyes slid shut and she began the slow drift into dreamland.

"Je t'aime" he whispered to her.

She fought the urge to scream.
