DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

It was quite a warm sunny day.

Nymphadora Tonks was sitting on a low branch of a tree holding a stuffed toy wolf while looking down at Draco who was just below the tree staring at her. He was looking at her with wide open eyes while holding a small stick.

"Up, up, up," Draco was chanting cutely.

"No Draco," Tonks replied, "You're too small. You'll fall down and hurt yourself."

Draco pouted and looked away, focusing his attention on a small brown teddy bear beside him."

Suddenly, there was a rumble of thunder, following by an eerie silence, which turned into an eerie sounding wind. Tonks climbed down and hugged Draco who was looking scared and looked at the sky. It was dark grey with clouds. It looked like a storm was coming. And then they heard a sudden crack of thunder.

Tonks and Draco screamed and held each other tightly. After a minute, Tonks stood up and held Draco's right hand saying, "Look, there's a scary storm coming! Draco, Wolfie (referring to the stuffed wolf), let's find Mummy and Aunty and go home!"

They began to walk away from the tree as fast as they could in the direction of their house, which was nearby.

But as they reached the house, just outside, they saw something horrible:

Their house was there, but they couldn't see either Andromeda or Narcissa. And they couldn't see Ted.

Instead, they saw a flash of lightning followed by a huge rumble of thunder, and then, they saw someone, standing right in front of them, cackling evilly, her laughter growing louder and louder and more savage.

She was dressed in a black lace dress, and had black wild curly hair.

This was someone Tonks knew was related to her, but was an evil demoness.

There, right in front of Tonks and Draco stood none other than Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeee," Tonks screamed as she saw Bellatrix.

Bellatrix looked at her and whispered in her seductive tone, "Your Mummy and Aunty are gone and can't protect you now! No one will save you from me! Now, come to Aunt Bella."

Tonks held Draco's hand tightly and turned around to run but found herself rooted to where she was standing.

Suddenly, Bellatrix pulled Draco into her arms and laughed as she looked at him.

She turned to her right side where there was a stone table. She placed him on the table and lunged towards Tonks. She screamed as Bellatrix grabbed her and carried her over to the table, laughing all the while.

Bellatrix then proceeded to bind her before growling as she held Draco, who was crying now. Tonks cried with tears flowing from her eyes, "Please, let him go! He didn't do anything!"

Bellatrix laughed and placing him on her lap, made Tonks lie down on the table in front of her. Raising her hands, showing her long nails, she hissed, "I'm going to sacrifice him to myself, and then, you are going to be next." She bared her teeth and growled in a scary manner before proceeded to cackle madly, holding Tonks down with her left hand, her nails piercing her.

And then, she raised her hands above Draco, and it looked like she was going to tear him apart. As Draco continued to cry, Tonks screamed, "NO! NOT DRACO! PLEASE NO!"

And then, she woke up at once in her bed and gasped.

As soon as she got up, she felt tears coming to her eyes and she buried her face into her pillow and cried into it.

It was still dark. It was actually around 2 AM in the morning.

A minute later, Tonks slowly got out of bed and slowly tiptoed across her room to the door. She stepped outside and started towards her parents' room but as soon as she stepped into corridor, she saw someone coming from the opposite direction towards her, from the bathroom which was just a little ahead.

She stood still for a moment until she heard a soft voice whisper, "Dora, are you alright?" She looked up and saw that it was Narcissa standing in front of her.

Narcissa looked at her with love and concern. She had grown to love her niece and she knew that Tonks loved Draco very much now. Noticing that she was looking scared, she slowly bent down and held her shoulders whispering, "Did you have a bad dream?"

Tonks flung herself into Narcissa's arms and cried, letting her emotions out. Narcissa held her and allowed her to cry into her shoulder while gently rubbing her back.

After a minute of crying, Tonks calmed down to an extent and was now just sniffing. Narcissa kissed her cheek and proceeded to lift her up and carry her to the bedroom where she and Draco were sleeping. The room, which was just opposite the bedroom that Andromeda and Ted shared, had a nice queen sized bed and a bookshelf, plus a closet and a nightstand next to the bed.

Draco was lying in the middle of the bed, fast asleep. Narcissa sat down on the bed, taking care not to be on top of him, and slowly rocked Tonks side to side.

After a few minutes, she stopped and softly asked, "Do you want to tell me what happened, Dora?"

Tonks did not mind being called Dora. It definitely was not 'Nymphadora' which she couldn't stand being called.

She slowly said, "I had a horrible nightmare. Bellatrix was there."

She then proceeded to slowly explain all that had happened in her dream, letting out a stream of tears afterwards and burying her face into her aunt's shoulder.

Narcissa felt her heart break as she held her crying niece. Even in her niece' dreams, the demoness Bellatrix was still trying to harm them. She had cried when she had heard about Bellatrix's declaration from Ted before she had been sent to Azkaban.

But she knew that she could trust Andromeda now. Ted too.

Narcissa hugged Tonks and comforted her saying, "It's only a dream. She's gone now. Both you and Draco are safe. She can't get you now. It's only a dream."

After a minute of soothing her, she asked, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Tonks looked at her and nodded her head. As soon as Narcissa held the blanket for her to get under, she went and wrapped her arms around Draco whispering, "Draco, you're ok." Draco stirred slightly but did not seem to have been disturbed. Narcissa smiled as she beheld the sight before getting under the blanket, with Draco in between her and Tonks. Softly kissing her forehead, she proceeded to extend her right arm and wrap it around her son and niece.

Soon, they fell asleep, and Tonks did not have any more nightmares that night.

Around 8 AM, Andromeda looked into Narcissa's room to see how Draco was doing. Narcissa was awake but the kids were still asleep. She had of course, told Andromeda about Tonks' nightmare.

She was greeted by the sight of Tonks sleeping with her arms wrapped around Draco, who was fast asleep. A cute sight for her eyes.
