It was cold, made all the more unbearably so by being alone. The only sound Orsino could hear was a distant dripping water and the bed he was lying on felt as hard as solid concrete. He was in a dream... no, a nightmare. One that had been plaguing his mind ever since he found out Muggleborns had been sent to Azkaban.

When Kirley was home, it seemed the former Gryffindor’s presence kept the nightmare at bay. But on nights where he went out on missions or to Order meetings and O was alone, the dark thoughts would creep in. He envisioned that the Ministry would come banging on the door and take him away, claiming they made a mistake and O had to pay for his crimes. In the nightmare, he’d been thrown in Azkaban, never to see his family again.

A sob escaped the drummer as he curled tighter under the bedsheets as the nightmare continued. His hand reached out across the bed in a desperate attempt to feel his husband’s warmth but his fingers came in contact with nothing, causing him to quickly withdraw his hand back to his body. “Please,” he whimpered, voice sounding helpless. “Please Panda. Save me.”
