FORBIDDEN (Draco Malfoy X Reader)

CHAPTER 53

Death continued to swarm us. Everywhere I looked dead bodies lied on the cold concrete floor. It sent shivers through my body. How long until one of us was like that ? The thought made me feel sick.

I carried on running beside Draco, he was casting all sorts of spells I'd never heard about and I dared ask him about them or what they did.

We made it outside to the courtyard where the death eaters surrounded the entrance to the castle. I gulped, knowing that that was where I was expected to be.

Draco's grip on my hand tightened, as we stood with everyone, watching Voldemort descend forward. Standing tall behind him was Hagrid, who was bound to chains, being pulled along by death eaters. There was a limp figure in his arms.

"Draco, who is Hagrid carrying ?" I whispered.

"I don't know" He gulped.

They came closer and closer and the pit of dread in my stomach only grew when I realised that the limp figure in Hagrid's arms was Harry Potter. Ginny was screaming and everyone else seemed frozen in shock. This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to go this way.

"Harry Potter is dead!" Voldemort laughed, death eaters following along. " You will now fall under my control"

I felt ill. Very ill. I watched them as they continued to laugh. No one seemed to be able to make sense of anything going on.

"Draco" Lucius called.

He gulped and I slipped my hand from his, letting him know it was okay. He had to go. He walked forward slowly all eyes now trained on him, walking towards Voldemort.

"Draco my dear boy, I knew you'd make the right choice"

He stood with his parents. I made my way towards the back of the crowd. I needed to get a clear shot of Voldemort. If Harry couldn't kill him I would.

I made my way through rubble, so that I was watching from the other side. I had a clear shot.

"Where is the descendant of Merlin ?" Voldemort yelled.

"Looking for me ?" I say, stepping out from where I was hiding.

"Perfect timing." He smiled sadistically.

"For what ?" I questioned, knowing full what was about to happen.

Movement behind him cause me to glance over his shoulder. I watched as Harry's hand twitched. He wasn't dead. I knew exactly want I needed to do. I stepped out further into the courtyard, face to face with Voldemort.

"Your death"

"If I die, then so do you" I smirked.

"You foolish girl"

"We'll see about that"

He raised his wand and my hand raised on instinct. The green string of light hit the white string of light that came from my hand. I could feel the power flowing through my body, deflecting the unforgivable that was itching closer towards me.

"Nobody can save you now"

"They don't need to. You're going to die" I smirked.

I felt the blood begin to flow from nose. I ignored it as it began to flow down my neck. I could feel my wand against my leg. Any second now and I would need to pull it out. My magic began to weaken and I could feel his magic getting closer and closer to me.

Harry jumped from Hagrid's arms and I tossed my wand from my pocket over Voldemort's head. He stalled, giving me a second to push back one last time. I looked to my right where Draco stood with the rest of the death eaters. He was stood in shock. His face pale and he looked as if he was seconds away from throwing up.

"I love you" I mouthed.

The string of green got closer and closer. Harry came running and I knew it was time to let go. My hand flew up, my magic sending a shock wave out, around us. The string of green hit me and my body was being shoved to the side.

The last thing I saw was Draco, running towards me.
