The four teenagers had been chatting and catching up for a few hours before they ate dinner and, after Chiara's visit, decided to go to bed. Y/N and Hermione bid the others good night before they entered their room and shut the door.

"You look exhausted, baby" Hermione said sadly as Y/N took his top, shoes and shorts off. He sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled as Hermione stood between his legs and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You sure you want to go to sleep baby? It's still early" Y/N asked. Hermione smiled shyly at him and replied:

"If you're not too tired baby, I didn't really want to go to sleep"

Hermione pushed Y/N backwards onto the bed and quickly mounted him, kissing him again, her tongue entering his mouth as they moaned together lightly.

Y/N quickly flipped the pair, Hermione now laying on her back as Y/N leant down on her, holding his body weight off her but still leaning down and kissing tightly. Hermione smiled into the kiss and opened her mouth further, fully allowing Y/N to explore. As she did she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down onto her. He fell between her legs but neither released the kiss.

They kissed passionately, fighting for control, and Hermione wrapped a leg round his waist, bringing them even closer.

Y/N felt his body reacting as breathlessness forced the pair apart. Y/N instantly attacked Hermione's neck with kisses, she moaned as he sucked hard, marking his territory.

Hermione smiled and moaned as he sucked, she pulled his hair tightly with one hand while the other dug nails into his back in pleasure.

She felt a poke through her clothes and smiled.

"Someone's very excited" she giggled, kissing Y/N's neck. He released his attention on her neck and answered her.

"Sorry, I can't help it."

"No I'm glad babe, I'm glad I do that to you. I'm reacting as well."

Y/N smiled and locked lips with her again and she pushed her tongue into his mouth, she felt her self getting warmer, wetter, and wanting more. Her body ached for her boyfriend. As they released the kiss breathless Hermione smiled at the glassy expression in Y/N's eyes.

"We better stop now, before we can't stop."

Y/N leant up instantly, feeling concerned and guilty, stating: "Sorry, I didn't mean to rush you, love."

Hermione smiled and leaned up to kiss him again, before replying:

"You haven't babe, it's just I really want to keep going, but I'm not ready yet. Soon, but just not yet."

"Of course babe I'd never want to rush you to... or pressure... or-"

Hermione giggled at Y/N's stammering and quietened him with another kiss, saying sweetly: "Relax big boy. It's ok."

Y/N smiled and nodded as the couple laid down next to each other in bed, embracing each other lovingly before eventually falling asleep.

—~—

Y/N was looking around terrified, suddenly aware of his surroundings.

There was darkness. There was screams. He was paralysed, unable to move, but he felt the intense pain of being flayed, cut into teeny tiny little pieces.

The air was like fire in his lungs, making even breathing difficult. Y/N could do nothing but look around in terror at the scenes of torture around him, visible only in the smallest of glimpses in the flashes of light that would come every few seconds.

He was acutely aware though of two black eyes staring at him, into his very soul:

...just one little word, Y/N. It all goes away... just say Y-

"No!!!" Y/N screamed sitting up and gasping, as if unable to breathe. His eyes were bulging out of his head, he was covered in sweat, his heart about to jump out of his chest.

Hermione shot up next to her boyfriend, in a panic as he had turned, his feet on the floor as he sat, still gasping for air.

"Baby! Baby! Are you ok?" Hermione asked worriedly as Newt rushed over from his terrarium, hugging into his daddy's neck tightly.

"I'm ok. I'm ok" Y/N gasped back, lifting his left hand to hug Hermione's head next to him and his right to gently stroke Newt.

"Nightmare?" Hermione asked with significant concern in her voice. Y/N nodded, his breathing and heart rate starting to return to normal.

Hermione wiped Y/N's brow and chest, asking sadly:

"Was it about the Hole?"

Y/N inhaled, his body involuntarily tensing before he nodded his head.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Y/N sighed, as if the weight of the world was weighing him down and replied:

"I- I just can't love."

Hermione nodded and leant in, kissing his cheek as she whispered:

"When you're ready I'm here for you."

Y/N smiled a tired, heavy smile, before he was pulled down onto the bed. Hermione laid her head on his chest, her finger running along his scar and a leg across his legs.

Y/N had his arm around Hermione's back, running his finger along her spine on her nightdress.

He quickly stopped, Hermione looking up to see his eyes closed and hear tiny snores coming from his mouth.

She glanced to Newt who was on Y/N's other shoulder and they shared a concerned glance as she spoke:

"I know Newt. I'm worried about him too."
