*draco's pov*
everyones gathered outside, a circle around voldemort. i can't see anything behind him. his crowd covers it. i hide in the corner, from my family, from everyone. ashamed of whats happened in the past couple of hours.

"everyone, i have good news. harry potter is dead" voldemort seethes, and hagrid steps forwards holding harry's limp body. "i've finally killed him. but see, someone wanted to watch it happen, i always knew she was just like her father" voldemort laughs. and two of his men step forward, holding elizabeth back. my heart drops. no. i told her not to come. god no. fuck. i want to step forward but that could make him kill her immediately. but i have to do something. but what?

i watch as she tries to pull away from the men but they keep a firm grip on her.

"and i've brought her here, because a special friend of mine has been waiting for her" he says, no. no. no. fuck no. her father steps out of the crowd, some gasp, but i step forward, making me able to see better.

i can see the fear in elizabeth's eyes as she freezes. her father laughs "you thought you could run from me, elizabeth" he seethes and i put my hand on my wand. she shakes her head "please, let me go" she screams and he brings his wand up. "you were always just like your mother. too bad she's dead now, oh yeah, surprise. mommy's dead" he mocks her and she shakes her head pulling at her arms. tears roll down her face, her hair a mess, her face is dirty. but her eyes, they're full of fear.

"you son of a bitch" she spits and he laughs "crucio" he spits out, the red light hitting her. she screams, crippling in pain. i hold myself back, if i step forward he kills her. and me. stay, draco.

i listen as her screams ring in my ear and it's just like my dreams. i'm here. but i can't stop it.

but the screams stop after a while and she looks at him "you're weak. i'm stronger than you and i always will be. bitch" she spits at him, though i can still see the pain in her eyes. and i can feel the tears in mine.

as he raises his wand to her again, i brace myself for what's about to happen. but suddenly, harry rolls out of hagrid's arms and pulls the wand out of elizabeth's side. everyone gasps, the two men let go of elizabeth and she takes the moment to run. i don't pay attention to harry and voldemort, i watch as her father goes to raise his wand again, but instead i raise mine. "avada kedavra" with no hesitation i cast and it hits him, killing him on the spot. elizabeth runs to me and my arms wrap around her, holding her close to me.

"we have to go. now" i say and she looks at me, her hands are shaking, her whole body is. she just nods, not being able to say anything.

i get us back to her house and she runs away from me, i want to run after her, i want to make sure she never leaves my sight, but i know where's she's going. to look for kai.

her scream breaks me, knowing what's wrong.

i run to her only to see kai laid out on the floor of the kitchen, dead. elizabeth's hand covers her mouth, shaking violently. my throat burns as i hold back tears. i grab her and hold her close to me, blocking her from seeing him. her body shakes in my arms as she cries.

she pulls away and looks at me "h-he's dead. a-and my mother-s dead. and esmeray. and caleb. and y-you killed my father. a-and oh my god, it hurts so bad, draco." and the tears fall. because i'm broken, for her. for how much pain she's in. i know she's still hurting from the curse. and the news about her mother. and finding kai. she's broken.

"i have to get out of here" she shakes her head, pulling away from me. i grab her arm and she looks at me, i quickly apparate us to the manor, in my room.

she sighs as she looks around at where we are. "make it stop, draco. please. it hurts so bad, i can't-i can't move anymore, draco. please, stop it" she begs as her body clenches with pain. tears roll down her face. "just breath, it'll stop. breath, elizabeth. breath" i hold her close and she tries to control her breathing. my lip trembles as i hold her shaking body in my arms. "they're all dead, draco" she sighs as her arms wrap around me.

"draco, are you in he-" my mother walks into my room and looks at me and elizabeth. she sighs, "voldemort's dead" she says and elizabeth pulls away from me, looking at my mother. "and you're father is too" my mother looks at her and elizabeth hugs her "thank you" she cries and i wipe the tear from under my eye.

"it's all over, beth. you can breath now. the pain will go away. just breath" my mother comforts her and elizabeth cries.

"stay here as long as you need, beth. you're safe now" my mother pulls away and elizabeth nods. "thank you" she says and my mother walks out.

elizabeth turns to me and we just look at each other for a moment. thankful that we're both still alive. a tear slides down my cheek and she sighs "we made it, draco. we did it" she says and i nod "we did it" my lips tremble, thinking of everything we've lost. but i still have her.

she hugs me and i let out a breath. "thank you, for killing him" she says and i smile "i love you" i say "i love you too" she answers and i hug her tighter, never wanting to let go.

i pull away and look at her "it's over, elizabeth. everyone's going to get better, and we're safe now. everything's going to get better, alright" i say and she nods "i need to lay down" her voice is soft, full of trauma.

i nod and she walks over to my bed, laying down, not caring about how dirty we both are. i lay beside her. she rolls over and stares up at the ceiling, how she always does when she's thinking about things. "get some rest, the pain will go away while you sleep" i say, though i know she won't be able to sleep, who would? she just watched her world fall apart, lost her closest friends, her parents. she's full of pain. but she'll be okay. we both will.
