Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 80

I started running again trying to find Harry, I stopped when I saw Fred and George. "Alyssa." I nodded, staring at the two of them, I threw myself into their arms, "we're going to be all right." I whispered. They both gave me a small smile, "aren't you always?" I sighed, "damn right I am." I pushed off the wall still trying to find Harry,

I stopped running when I saw him standing in front of the room of requirements. "Is it in here? The horcrux?" Harry nodded, and squeezed my hand, "together?" I gave him a small smile, "of course." We entered the room, and I saw the tiara, on top of a pile of old furniture. "Expellimous." Ron shouted, I spun around to see Draco, Goyle and Blaise directly behind us. We began fighting and they continued running deeper into the room, with Ron chasing madly after them.

"Get it." I urged Harry standing beside Hermione. Harry had just gotten back to the ground when Ron came rushing back. "Goyle set the bloody place on fire." I stared in shock as a giant fire snake came flying towards us. I started running checking behind me to see how close the fire was. "Here." Harry threw me a broom. I was almost at the exit when I heard Draco scream. "Alyssa. No." Harry whispered. I shook my head turning around. I found Draco on the top of a pile of junk, quickly grabbing his arm pulling him onto the back of my broom. Harry did the same for Blaise, and we made it out before the fire, falling hard onto the castle ground. Draco stood up trying to find the words. I glared at him, "go to hell you pathetic excuse for a brother."

Harry stabbed the tiara with a basilisk tooth, and I caught him as he fell to the ground. He was only down for a minute before pushing himself back up, "let's go." The three of us took off after Harry ducking down behind a wall where I saw Voldemort and Snape. I could only hear bits of the conversation but I knew they were talking about the elder wand. "The wand only answers to you." Snape insisted. Voldemort shook his head, "no I am extraordinary, but the wand it resists me. Severus, it answers to you. And we both know it answers to that girl." Snape disagreed, "it doesn't answer to her." Voldemort snapped, "no it does and you know it." Snape sighed, "it doesn't my lord because the girl is dead."

I looked at the three of them confused, Snape was trying to protect me. I watched as Voldemort lifted his wand, slicing Snapes neck. The snake lunged forward attacking Snape, and Voldemort left the room, his snake following shortly after. I pushed myself up kneeling down in front of Snape. "Thank you." I whispered. He stared up at me with teary eyes, "get the wand from him, it will come to you without a fight." I nodded, stepping back so Harry could talk to him.

Suddenly I heard Voldemort's chilling whispers again, "you have fought in vain, I do not wish this, every drop of magical blood spilled is a terrible waste I therefore command my followers to retreat so you can dispose of your dead in dignity. Harry Potter I now speak directly to you. On this night you have allowed your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself there is no greater dishonour, come to the forbidden forest and confront your fate. If you do not do this I will kill every last man women and child who wishes to conceal you from me."

I took a deep breaths starting to walk towards the great hall, when I pushed open the doors I could see all of the hurt, and lifeless people. I walked in slowly, stopping when I saw the Weasley family leaning over someone. "Alyssa." George whispered. He threw himself into my arms and I fell down beside Fred's body with him. I stared at it in disbelief still comforting George. I pushed a piece of ginger hair out of his eyes, tracing my finger along the side of his face, "Goodbye Freddie."

"I'm sorry about Remus." Molly whispered. I looked at her in shock, "what do you mean?" I slowly let go of George standing up myself. I looked to my right, and I saw Remus lying on his back his arm reached out as if he were holding hands with Tonk. They just had their son, and now they were dead. I knelt down beside Remus, leaning over his chest trying to hug him one last time, a few tears slipped out, Fred Remus and Tonks were all dead. I squeezed his hand, giving him a light kiss on his forehead quietly whispering, "thank you, for everything you've done for me. I'm so sorry Remus." I felt a hand on my shoulder, looking up to see Harry. "I'm fine, go do what you have to do." He nodded stepping back before turning and walking away. I quickly wiped my tears, collecting myself again, trying to focus on what I had to do to make sure no one else died, and honour the people who did.
