WAR III

DRACO MALFOY POV

I watched as her mother ran up to her with a stake in her hands. She moved too fast and there was no time to even get a word out of my mouth.

In mere seconds, Shell Salvatore had staked her own daughter through her heart.

"Avada Kedavra!" I shouted as I directed my wand at Y/n's mother.

The spell hit her and she started to drift away. I didn't care I just killed the love of my life's mother. She didn't deserve a daughter like Y/n.

I ran over to Y/n who had fallen to her knees and left observing the wooden stake through her body. I got to her and held her shoulders up but it was too late. Her eyes were closed and grey veins were making their way up to her forehead.

"NO! PLEASE Y/N, PLEASE," I screamed as I felt a burning sensation run through my body.

Heartbreak. I grabbed onto her body and apparated into Hogwarts. The grey veins had completely covered her entire body and she began to turn cold.

I set her down in one of the halls. The hallway where we shared our first kiss. The time when I knew however our past, she would submit to me. I laid her down on the ground and played with her hair.

Flashes of how I touched her that day covered my mind. I remember the way I grabbed onto her body, how she also grabbed onto me. I remember how much I wanted her at the moment. Why I fell in love with her. How perfect her body fit into mine. How much I loved her.

After a few hours of me just daydreaming about our times together, I realized the war had died down. I looked back at my little angel and saw some dust on her skin.

I reached my hand out to wipe away the dust but suddenly, her body started to catch on fire.

"Oh no...WHAT HAVE I DONE." I cried.

I jumped away as the flames consumed her. Maybe this was for the best. She's gone now. Completely gone.

I fell to my knees and cried into my hands. The warmth of the flames held some comfort but I would never be full without her. The fire died down after some time and all that's left was ash.

I sat by the ash and laid on the ground, vision blurred by the tears.

'I hate life' I thought to myself. 'Why did this have to happen? Why me? Why her?'

My puffy eyes were heavy and my head was spinning. But there is no place I'd rather be. Ash or no ash, she was here. She died, and I should too. Life would be mocking me if I lived without her. I'd rather find peace with her. With Y/n.

I closed my eyes and squeezed out the last few tears. I took a big breath and fell asleep.

-

"Draco, Draco, love, wake up." I heard.

The voice was ringing in my ear as I scrunched up my face.

"Leave me alone," I grumbled.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, wake up. I'm alive and I need clothes" Her voice yelled.

It took me a second before a spark of hope and realization took me. My eyes sprang open and I jolted up.

Y/n sat before me naked and in a pile of ash.

"Am...am I dead?" I asked.

"No love. We're both alive." She cooed.

Her voice brightens my soul. I could feel the joy trickling in as I pulled her into a hug. She felt real! I took my black suit off and handed it to her. She put it on and thankfully it was just too big.
