When the lights go out [Malfoy x reader story]

Shierking Shack

"Are you okay?" George looks at me. "Sure, just looks scary." I reply. We stand in front of the mansion. I am between the twins George to my right Fred to my left. "Let's go in then." We walk into the house. It howls loudly inside and outside. I try to relax but the adrenalin is rushing through my veines. It's old and shabby, but at the same time it shows that it was used well back in the days, I suppose that at least. We explore the house futher and futher, but no one is there. It's just loud and scary.
"Have you imagined it that way?" I want to know, but both shake their heads. I kneel down to look at the floor, it's dirty, dusty, but I feel something. I feel someone approaching. "Hide." I whisper, both immediately understand. I hear a voice but I am not sure what  to think about it, or who it is. We hide and the steps come closer.

"Who do you think was that?" Fred asks as we leave the building. "I have no clue." I reply. We walk back to Hogwarts and as we enter the hallways I hear a thought. "Guys, you know, I have to leave you for a second, can we meet in the great hall later?" I don't wait for an answer, but actually sprint towards my target. I know it's Draco. I know it. I know that he is on the edge of breaking. The futher I run the faster my breath gets. I am not sure where he is, but I will find him. I can find him and I can help him. We can build an ally, we can be an ally. It amazes me, how different, but how similiar we all are. We all fight for something; recognition, love, power, family, safety, good will. Everybody had a thing they wanted to fight for. I spot in an empty hallway to catch my breath and lean against a wall, but suddenly drop on the floor. "What is that?" I breath I look around, it's a room full of things. I hear someone sobbing. It is him. I get up and tip toe towards him. When I reach him a spell suddenly hits the chairs and tables that seperate us. They fly into the air and I throw myself on the floor crying out loud as I fear of being hit by them. "Who's that?" I hear him yelling angrily. "It's me. Y/n." I tell him. "Shove off." He demands. "Hear me out, just give me three minutes, if I do not convince you I will never talk to you ever again." I stand up and tap the dust of my knees, were it changed my stockings colour. "Two minutes." He agrees. I take it, I take them. "I know why you broke up with me and it's okay, I understand you, I still like you-..." "I don't like you." "Doesn't matter, what I want to say, is that I know why you do what you do and if we both survive all of this, there is nothing that could keep us apart. I know something is about to happen and I know many people will die, but trust me, I love you and I will do all things in my power to protect you. Just don't hate me okay."I go on to tell him about everything that happened and I know he knows. I can see it in his eyes, but I still want to tell him and I want him to tell me about everything that happened to him. I don't want to read his mind. Even though the temptation is strong I resist, because I respect him. I know how hard it is for him. "Can you do it?" I finally ask. "No, I failed, my original plan failed, the bird died." The tears fall from his eyes and he starts sobbing. Carefully I put an arm around him and let him lean his head against my shoulder. He needs someone. His mother and father are too busy being with the dark Lord and his aunt is a thing for herself. "Did you find another way?" I ask.  "Not yet, but if I don't do it soon, it will be over." His voice breaks mid-sentence. I don't know what he needs the cabinet for and I don't want to know, but I want to be there for him. "You are strong and smart, one of the smartest for sure." "Y/n I am sorry for all I did, for everything I said, but I want you to be safe, therefore we can not be together."

His words hurt me, they break my heart into so many pieces. I start to cry as well, we just sit there hug eachother and cry. Nothing can seperate us right now. We are trapped in the moment, the world around us stops, the sounds around us vanish, the war that is going on forever now, is not our problem for the time of us being together. Of us just being there for each other. Amity is very important in these times. Amity is one of the few things to keep our hope alive. Nothing is as it used to be when we were children, but I hope it won't be this way, when our children grow up. I want it to be peaceful. I want them to be safe. "When this is over, can we visit a foreign country?" I ask him and he looks at me puzzled wiping the tears from his eyes. "Yes, we can. I promise." "Thank you, you should meet some of my friends in America, they would probably like you somehow." "I don't think so, but sure." I lean my head against his and we just sit there. It is tiring to be in this war, but also I need to revenge my parents. "I will have your back always." He whispers. "I will have yours as well." I can feel his breath getting more regular, more relaxed, his sobbings gets quieter. Then he falls asleep. I hold his head on my shoulder and take my wand out. I start to play with my wand, move objects, I just let him rest, don't feel like waking him up, he needs the sleep. "I love you."

Due to my assignments and projects the next chap will probably be ready on either Friday or Saturday hope you don't mind. I actually tried to write it like before publishing the next one but I'm stuck and 400 words are not really a chapter which is why I will take some time.

Take care

Anyway
