I fell asleep with a smile on my face. 
                          
But the nightmares arrived on my door step once again.
                          
'You're just like your Mother aren't you. You're dangerous. She should've taken you with her when she left. It would've saved me the burden of having to raise you.' The words spat out of my Fathers mouth. But I was an outsider looking in. I couldn't do anything to save myself.
                          
I  was only eight.
                          
I watched as he hit me. Over. And over again. My face was red and bruised. And then he pulled out his knife. I watched as he inched towards me.
                          
I watched as the images changed. To me locked in my bedroom with a knife. and I held it to my skin. preparing myself for what I was going to do next.
                          
Until I felt cold hands grab me by the shoulders and shake me awake 
                          
'Venus I'm here. Venus wake up.' He said to me softly.
                          
I felt my hands grab his shoulders and pull him down to hug me. 
                          
'You're safe with me Vee I'm here.' He said softly.
                          
I felt his skin. He was wearing just a pair of sweatpants. I let my hands grip his shoulders. He was built,but not too built.
                          
I saw a grey blanket on the end of the bed. He rubbed my back trying to calm me down.
                          
I'm crying still. I hadn't stopped yet. I wiped away my tears quickly before I spoke
                          
'What's the blanket for Draco?' I whisper
                          
'You're coming back to my dorm Venus.'  He whispered back
                          
'But why the blanket?' I asked
                          
'Because I feel bad that every time you have to change clothes to leave your dorm.' He told me
                          
I nodded and sat up to reach his face. He kissed me on the forehead before I sat up to wrap myself in the blanket. I felt his hands wrap around my waist to turn me around. He was standing too now. I watched as he looked me up and down.
                          
'What Draco?' I questioned as his eyes didn't meet mine. He just focused everywhere except my face.
                          
'Draco? I'm talking to you.' I repeated myself.
                          
He finally looked at me in the eye
                          
'You're wearing just a t shirt' He said in astonishment, his eyes trailed down to my thighs and my hips.
                          
I smiled innocently at him as I put the blanket around my shoulders. Draco was the only person to see me like this. Vulnerable. 
                          
'It's my pyjamas. I don't know whats got you so interested.' I said as I watched him walk toward me.
                          
He crouched down and lifted me up bridal style as I held onto the blanket, resting my head against his chest. I smiled as we walked to his dorm. 
                          
I looked at him as we walked into his dark dorm. He set me down on the bed and took the blanket off my shoulders and folded it and laid it on the trunk below the bed. As he made his way back to the bed I got under his cold sheets and waited for him. I felt him sink into the bed next to me. We faced each other. One of his arms rested under my neck and the other sat on my waist and pulled me closer to his chest. My fingers ran through his hair a couple of times before he whispered.
