Bittersweet Tragedy | | Draco Malfoy

Stronger Together

"Of course love, where do we start" 

I never thought I'd have this conversation, I had become accustomed to the kiss and makeup method we usually did. 

The more I thought about it the more I realized it was because we were raised to think emotions were weakness, I can't remember the last time I ever had a heart-to-heart talk with my parents.

"Um.." I said looking around, no one was in the room, not even Madam Pomfrey "I just...I hate fighting with you..." I said quietly

"We used to fight first through the fifth year though." He replied, 

"Well yeah but that was different. I wasn't aware of how much I loved you...I think when I did, I didn't know how to handle it. I don't think you knew either..." 

"I've known I was in love with you since the third year," He said, a little quieter "But I ignored it because I thought you would never feel the same, eventually I got angry and I hurt you...and I'll never forgive myself for" 

"Draco, it was a two-person fight, I hurt you too. I know I shouldn't yell or hit you and I'm sorry I ever did that..." I sniffled, trying to hold back tears that were threatening to escape my eyes, 

"When I saw you with Lee...I got so mad and I shouldn't have. THen you and spencer, which he's good for you, I know, I just want you to be mine"

"But Spencer a friend, and he's has something going on with Cho, I don't know what it is but it's honestly pretty adorable to watch" I smiled slightly

"I know, and I don't have to tell you that you can have guy friends, I don't get to control that. I'm going to work on it...we need to work on ourselves"

"We've tried, while Spencer helps me be a better student, you help me be happier. Even if I tried to move on I couldn't, you are my favorite kind of love Draco Malfoy." I squeezed his hand "This isn't an overnight thing, but I'm willing to work on it together. I want this to work, I want us to work."

"I want you Y/N, I want to be a part of your life. I want to see every smile, laugh, I want all of it. If I have to talk about my...feelings...then I'll do it. Can you make me one promise though?" He asked

Every word he said made my heart flutter, until the last sentence. "Anything Draco"

"Please don't leave me when you find out what I have to do, just know...I never wanted it" He said, I could see his eyes well up with tears.

"Of course, I'm here for you, no secrets" I wiped a tear that was slowly falling down his cheek "I won't leave you again..."

Draco POV

Love is hard, but with her, I feel like nothing can hurt me again. Every time I look at her I fall in love with her all over again. 

Y/N POV

I could get lost in his eyes forever, he'll never know how much I love him.

"I don't want you to think I'm a monster," He said another tear falling, it broke my heart to see him cry

Especially when I knew I was the reason why.

"What's there not to understand?" I said shoving him off me "You're a death eater who just kissed me to distract yourself. I will not be a pawn, I'm too good to be that!" I yelled, I was so angry I didn't care who heard me screaming at him

"Y/N, let me fucking speak!" He yelled walking closer to me, I pulled out my wand and pointed it at him "You wouldn't" he said, a little uncertainty in his voice
