Dancing In The Flames - A Draco Malfoy Love Story

"DEAD?!"

Evanora immediately ended up next to Dumbledore.

"You have no proof! You can't declare someone dead without a body!"

Snape made his way on stage and held back Evanora.

"Sweetheart just come down-"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!"

"We saw his body with our own eyes Miss Snape-"

"You're bloody lying!"

"Evanora come with me sweetheart. Come on"

Snape slowly pulled her down the stage.

"I ca- I can't do this"

She ran out of the great hall, with Pansy, Blaise, Ginny, Ron, Harry, Luna, Hermione, Fred, and George behind her. They made it to the common room and saw her. She was on the floor, her face buried in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.

"H-he's g-gone"

They slowly made their way towards her. Pansy and Ginny sat next to her.

"H-he's gone. A-and h-he's not c-coming back"

She began to cry harder. Many of the others were also crying. Fred and George both hugged her as she cried into George's chest. Slowly they all sat down. All Evanora could remember was what Draco had said to her.

I promise I'll never leave you baby

She whispered.

"He promised"

"What did he promise?"

"He promised he'd never leave me and he did!"

She continued sobbing. Snape made his way into the room.

"Sweetheart come here"

"D-dad"

Her dad hugged her and stroked her hair gently.

"D-dad h-he's gone. D-dad I-it h-hurts"

"I know sweetheart I know"

"P-please m-make I-it g-go a-away d-dad I n-need h-him"

"I know sweetheart"

"I c-cant do this w-without him d-dad"

"Yes you can sweetheart you're the strongest person I know"

Evanora slowly drifted off to sleep in her dad's arms.

"She's in a fragile state. We all are"

"Yes but we lost one of our best friends. She lost the love of her life, she's allowed to be more upset"

Hermione said.

"I can't believe he's gone"

Blaise said with tears stinging at his eyes.
