In another life (Draco x reader)

Escape (71)

TW// Cutting & Torture

I heard Bella gasp and I thought she'd heard me. I closed my eyes expecting to feel a spell hit me but instead, I heard a commotion behind me. I turned around to see she was attacking the snatchers. I saw Draco get up and stand in front of me, shielding me from the flying spells. Bellatrix then instructed Narcissa to get Harry, Ron, and me down to the dungeons.

She charged towards us and grabbed us all and shoved us towards the stairs. Pettigrew escorted us down and pushed us inside, causing all of us to fall and closing the door quickly before running back upstairs. Harry and Ron got up and ran to the door.

"What are we gonna do we can't leave Hermione alone with her," Ron spoke to Harry.

"He's right, she'll torture her," I grunted trying to get myself off the ground feeling sore once more. Harry and Ron ran to my side and they both helped me get up.

"Ron? Harry?" Luna called from the back of the dungeons.

"Luna?" Harry called back once he got a good look at her.

"y/n when did you get here?" Ron asked me examining my state.

"A couple of weeks ago, the same time as Luna. Apparently, you know who and I had some unfinished business." I joked as I walked to my mother's side who was still unconscious.

We heard Hermione give a blood-curdling scream. "She must be carving into her skin," I whispered as I related to the sound.

"We have to get out of here." Ron was desperate.

"We can't, We've tried everything, it's enchanted," Ollivanders spoke.

All of a sudden I remembered. I reached into my pants and pulled out my wand. "It won't unlock it but the next time Pettigrew comes down here we can try to stun him," I spoke.

"Has she done that to you?" Ron asked me as his eyes scanned my body as he pointed up.

"Once yeah, she tortured me for hours but I recovered." I tried to spare him the details.

"Barely, she nearly died, if Draco hadn't-" Luna began speaking.

"Not now Luna." I stopped her. I saw Ron and Harry look confused.

I watched as Harry pulled out a fragment of a mirror and ask for help. Seconds later Pettigrew was down again and asking to take the Goblin, I was ready to strike him but my mother grabbed my hand and stopped me.

Pettigrew left and I helped my mother up, I jumped at the sound of a faint pop. I turned and saw Dobby standing in the center of the room.

"Dobby? What are you doing here?" Harry questioned.

"Dobby has come to rescue Harry Potter, of course, Dobby will always be there for Harry Potter," Dobby spoke.

"Are you saying you can apparate in and out of this room? Can you take us with you? " Harry questioned him again.

"Of course, I'm an elf," Dobby replied.

Harry and Ron looked at each other analyzing the situation.

"Right Dobby I want you to Luna, y/n, her mother, and Mr. Ollivanders," Harry instructed.

"Shell Cottage on the outskirts of Tinworth," Ron added quickly.

"Harry I'm staying, I can help," I told Harry. He was about to argue. "I'm not asking," I added and he just nodded.

Luna and Mr. Ollivanders walked over to my mom. "Whenever you're ready sir," Luna spoke to Dobby.

"Sir? I like her very much." Dobby announced.

10 seconds later Dobby was at the top of the stairs and he had knocked out Peter and taken his wand. "Who gets his wand?" He called from the top as Harry, Ron and I looked up.

We walked quietly to the top and peeked around the wall. I saw Hermione laying there motionless.

"Consider yourself lucky, Goblin" We heard Bellatrix whisper before she turned and started walking towards Hermione. "The same...won't be said for this one." She spoke once she was above her.

"Like hell!" Ron called getting up and charging forward. "Expelliarmus." He shouted, disarming Bellatrix.

I shot another spell at Bellatrix before running to Hermione's aid while Ron and Harry battled Draco and Narcissa. Hermione managed to get up, but just as we were getting a look at the situation we both felt hands wrap around our bodies and a sharp blade hit our necks.

"STOP!" Bellatrix yelled. Bellatrix was holding Hermione and Lucius was holding me. "Drop your wands!" Bellatrix instructed.

I dropped my wand as did Harry and Ron.

"Pick them up Draco, now!" Bellatrix instructed him. Draco ran forward and picked the wands up. I could see he was terrified. Bellatrix then began speaking, she then shouted for Draco to call Voldemort. Draco's head shot up at what he'd heard, he stared at his aunt before his eyes shifted to mine. I didn't break eye contact with him and hoped we had a un communicated understanding.

Just as Voldemort was going to be called everyone's attention was drawn to a squeaking sound coming from the ceiling. We all looked up to see Dobby sitting on the chandelier and unscrewing it. The chandelier came crashing down and Hermione and I were pushed forward. I made sure to keep running so the chandelier wouldn't hit me and I fell into Draco's arms on the opposite side of the room.

Harry then came running towards and began trying to yank the wands out of Draco's hands. I placed my hand on Draco's cheek and I saw his hand release them. Harry took them and turned to keep fighting.

"I'm so sorry Draco." I cried to him because I knew I had to leave him as much as I didn't want to. If I stayed I was sure to get killed.

"Go!" He cried to me grabbing my hands. "I love you." He whispered. I felt Harry grab my arm and pull me with him.

We stood in a huddle, Harry, Hermione, Ron, the Goblin, Dobby, and I. Just before I felt myself being sucked into nothingness I saw Draco and Harry exchange looks.

"Please." Draco mouthed to Harry. Harry nodded and we were gone.
