*PART TWO*
Ivory's POV:
My brother disappeared into the shadows, and my friends were consumed with fear, both of me and of my family. With Draco still by my side, I continued with the rest of my story.
"I may have some explaining to do.", I said, my gaze sweeping over the room.
Their eyes were filled with tears and regret. They looked heartbroken and mostly powerless. It was something I never thought would actually happen. In my dreams, similar things happened, but they stayed dreams. This was all real. My old self was running away all the time. The version of me who had once fled from everything was now forced to confront the consequences. I had always believed that no one would care about this version of myself, so I hid, just like my parents told me to. But eventually, I realized it was time to accept that this was my future.
"When I first arrived at Hogwarts, I was sorted into Gryffindor. Or rather, that's what we led everyone to believe."
"You're a Slytherin...", Luna stuttered as she spoke, feeling betrayed.
"Clever girl.", I said with a smirk as I moved closer to her.
With a subtle motion of my wand, I lifted her chin, forcing her to meet my gaze. She held her breath, her eyes unwavering, not once looking away. I studied her expression, noting the absence of fear. Luna was never one to be easily intimidated, much like me. We both struggled with showing emotions, always keeping our true selves carefully hidden.
"I've always liked you, Luna. You're just like me."
"I thought I was just like you too. But that isn't true. You only pretended to be someone you're not. I never did." A tear slid down Luna's cheek.
"Don't worry, dear. I won't hurt you." I touched her long blond locks with the tip of my wand before turning away, giving her space to breathe.
"I won't hurt any of you."
"But me...", Draco mumbled, his voice barely audible.
I glanced over at Draco and made my way back to him. My hand lightly traced the fabric of his black suit. "You won't even feel it, Draco. It will all be over soon.'', I whispered in his ear. His body tensed up and I felt his heart pounding in his chest. The rest were ready to attack me if needed. With their wands pointed at me, I felt victorious. Hopeless souls, how pathetic. I saw a reflection of my younger self in them.
"All of you, leave! And don't you dare seek help.", I shouted, pointing my wand at Hermione and the others. Without hesitation, they rushed down the stairs. Fred and George lingered at the top, casting one final glance in my direction.
"Goodbye, Ivory...", they whispered before disappearing from view.
As soon as they sprinted off, Draco was left alone with me, exactly as I had planned. He turned his back, leaning over the railing, while I kept my gaze fixed on the others, watching as they descended the stairs. Once they were gone, I knew it would be time for the final act.
Draco's POV:
I felt numb from crying for so long. The moonlight reached my pale skin as I admired the misty view once more. The silence in the room made me feel even more anxious, the only thing you could hear were crickets chirping in the distance. I turned my back on Ivory, and rested my arms on the railing of the balcony. The wind blew through my hair. My mind couldn't hold onto anything, overwhelmed by the weight of what had just been revealed. I couldn't shake the shock of what my own girlfriend had just confessed. The sound of heels clicking on the wooden floor echoed through the tower.
