Ecstasy of the Heart || Draco Malfoy x Male Reader

Chapter 75

A/N: sorry for not updating for like a week, I had not motivation to write and I was busy reading a bunch of books, updates will most likely be slow but I'll try to finish as fast as I can :)

"We need to go now" said Harry holding out his hand "but theres something wrong with him" he continued "its like hes dying". "Maybe hes just getting weak since we've been destroying horcruxes" said Ron "I agree with Ron" you said "no, it feels like he's just scared" Harry interrupted. "Well good for us then" chuckled Ron grabbing Harry's hand, "do we even have a plan" said Hermione as she put her hand on Ron's, "I highly doubt it" you replied placing your hand on Hermiones. "Then we'll just have to wing it" said Draco finally placing his hand on yours, with a crack you were gone.

You apparated into Hogsmeade, but it was nightfall already. When you landed alarms immediately started to sound, as if they knew you were already there. Harry bolted into a nearby alley as death eaters started filing into the snowy streets, "we need somewhere to hide" said Ron "yeah, I know" said Harry diving into an empty cathedral, with tables covered in massive tarps. Two death eaters walked in with their wands raised and began to lift up the tarps, trying to find anyone who was hiding. You and Draco were hiding across from Ron, Harry, and Hermione with your bodies pressed up against each other. "Don't move" you thought, projecting the sentence into his head, he gave a slight nod and pulled you closer.

The alarm sounded once more, causing the two death eaters to run out of the cathedral and back into the snowy road. Harry bolted out up a nearby staircase followed by everyone else. You ran up the stairs and found yourself in a small alleyway. "Fuck hell" you sneered as you ran to edge only to find your path blocked by a metal gate. "We'll destory it" you said raising your wand, "potter" said a voice from an open door "come quickly" it spoke again. Draco grabbed you and pulled you in the door and down a small staircase. "Did you see him?" asked Ron "yeah, I thought it was-" "Dumbledore" said Ron cutting Hermione off.

"It can't be him" you said "I saw him die" you added "well if not Dumbledore, then who?" asked Ron as he walked around the room light with candles. "Harry" called Hermione "I can you see in this" she said looking at a small mirror on the wall. Harry was holding up his small mirror shard in his hand and was able to see Hermione in it. "Someones coming" you said walking closer to Draco, "you bloody fools" spoke the man "what were you thinking coming here?" he continued. "Do you know how dangerous it is?" "you're Aberforth" said Harry "Dumbledore's brother". "You're the man I've been seeing in this" Harry said holding up his mirror shard "you sent Dobby" you added.

"Yes, where have you left him?" Aberforth asked "dead" you replied "thats a shame, I liked that elf" said Aberforth. "Who gave that to you?" asked Harry pointing to the mirror on the wall "the mirror? Mundungus Fletcher, a year ago" replied Aberforth. "He had no right it belonged to-" "Sirius" said Aberforth cutting him off "yes, Albus told me, but he also told me you'd be hacked off if you knew I had it" said Aberforth. Aberforth set down a tray with biscuits and drinks, you, Draco, Ron, and Hermione all raced down to grab something. "Do you ever hear from the others?" asked Hermione picking up a goblet, "the order is finished, by you-know-who" replied Aberforth.

"But anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves" he continued "we need to get into the castle tonight" said Harry "Dumbledore gave us a job to do". "Did he?" asked Aberforth "was it easy?" "we've been hunting horcruxes," you said "and we think the final one is in the castle, but we need your help getting in" said Harry. "That was no job, that's a sucide mission" retorted Aberforth "do yourself a favor and go home". "Dumbledore trusted me to finish this" snapped Harry "oh? And what makes you think you can trust him" snapped Aberforth "what makes you think you should believe anything my brother says".

"In all the time you knew him, did he ever mention my name?" retorted Aberforth "or even hers?" he said pointing to the painting behind Harry. "Why should he-" "keep secrets? You tell me". "But I trusted him" said Harry "that's a foolish boys answer" said Aberforth "a boy who goes hunting horcruxes for a man who didn't even tell him where to begin" snapped Aberforth walking closer to Harry "you are lying!" he continued "but not just to me, that doesn't matter". "But to yourself. . .only a fool does that, and I don't think you're a fool Harry Potter". "So I will ask you again, there must be a reason" said Aberforth "I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother, I don't care that you've given up" said Harry "I trusted the man I knew, and we need to get into the castle tonight" he continued.

"You know what to do" said Aberforth to the painting of the young girl, and she walked off. "Where is she going?" asked Harry "you'll find out". "That's Ariana, your sister" said Hermione "she died very young didnt she?" she added "my brother sacrifice many things on his journey for power, including Ariana" replied Aberforth "she was devoted to him, he gave her everything. . .but time". Aberforth left the room and walked into a neary one, shutting the door behind him. "She's coming back" you said "but whos with her?" asked Ron as the portrait opened to reveal Neville. "Neville!" you cheered "you look terrible" you chuckled "nah it's nothing, you should see Seamus" he laughed as you climbed into the passageway. Everyone followed in and Neville led the way.

Harry walked up to the front and made conversation with Neville. "Lumos" you said illuminating the tip of your wand as you held Draco's hand with your other. "This is crazy" said Draco "this is crazy?" you chuckled "well not just this, but everything" he replied "but at least I have you" he said pulling you closer into his body. "Neville, how much farther?" you called "not much, y/n" he called back. "I love you y/n. . .and if anything happens-" "hey, nothing will happen" you said cutting him off "we're both going to make it out of this, I promise" you continued "but if we don't?" he asked "then we figure it out later".
