Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

72

TW// Mentions of a suicide attempt

Her screaming echo'd through my mind "help!" she screamed, so loud, it was cerfew, she shook me over and over but with the small amount of energy I had I looned at her, her fear covered face.

"Someone please!" She got up and ran out covered in my blood where I heard a second voice "Iris- I think she- get snape- get someone please" she begged while everything around me went dark and I felt peace again.

The pain was finally gone; I was free

I woke up in the hospital wing for the 3rd time in 9 weeks after my 2nd suicide attempt, I would be excused by Umbridge of my owls due to my mental state.

Draco had begged her apparently.

He had special privileges to come see me despite the rule that boys and girls couldn't be within 8 feet of eachother.

And while I lied in my uncomfortable bed surrounded by get well soon letters, treats and some of my belongings I sighed trying to ignore the pounding in my head as I rolled over.

Someone walked into the room and while I couldn't see who it was I knew it was Draco by the way he pushed my hair behind my ear.

"swan" his thumb brushed my cheek bone and I moved onto my otherside to look at him properly as he spoke softly "how are you feeling?"

I hadn't really spoken since Ruby found me laying on the bathroom floor 3 days ago.

I didn't respond instead I smiled slightly feeling him slip his hand into mine letting me squeeze it tightly when he spoke up again.

"I got an owl from your father, he wants to place you in St. Mungo's and he talked to Dumbledore who agreed to let you go home as soon as you're on your feet again"

I let a shaky sigh leave my lips as I squeezed his hand again.

I nodded knowing I shouldn't argue because deep down I knew I needed this.

"I'm sorry I broke our promise, again" I croaked and I watched his eyes sadden before he leaned forward pressing a kiss to my forehead.

It was his way of silently telling me he wasn't mad at me "all that matters to me is that you're okay now" he whispered making me smile as he sat back down.

We sat in silence for a while as he looked at me with soft eyes before sighing once more.

As much as I hated silence this was comforting, therapeutic even especially with how his thumb stroked the back of my hand softly.

Closing my eyes I let the little energy left in my body leave as I fell asleep.

I packed my trunk, neatly folding my robes before placing my belongings into the trunk before locking the trunk.

I would be leaving after the feast which would give me enough time to say my goodbyes to my friends.

A quiet knock pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned my head before smiling at the blonde in the door way who wore his fit black suit that I loved.

"You look handsome" I told him seeing him smile at my words but his eyes looked sad, like he wanted to cry but knew he couldn't.

I gestured him to enter the room but he shook his head "I can't Umbridge put charms on the entrances of the rooms" he paused eyes wandering my face.

"You'll write to me when youre gone?"

I nodded walking over to him hugging him "of course I will" I whispered kissing him on the cheek when a tear fell from his eye.

"Don't cry, thats my job" I told him seeing him smile as he leaned in kissing me on the lips over and over till I pressed my lips onto his fully.

His hand rested onto my cheek as he lifted my face up more, it was like it was the last time he would be able to do this, like he'd never get to kiss me again as his other hand moved to the back of my head pulling me closer.

When he broke the kiss he let his hands fall behind my neck to pull me to his chest into a hug.

"You know I love you right?" I tilted my head back to look at him seeing him nod with a small smile playing his lips "I love you so much" I whispered burying my face into his chest once more.

I was sad I was leaving early especially knowing that I didn't know when I would be coming back from St. Mungos.

I cried when he kissed the side of my head gently and I cried harder when he pulled back to break the hug.

I was scared but when he wrapped his arms around me again I calmed down instantly pulling me down to the ground where we stayed for a while before Ruby walked over.

She awe'd before looking forward into the room sighing "tonight is the night, huh" she stated and I could see tears building in her eyes when I nodded.

I knew I shouldn't be this close to Draco given the new rules but if we were caught nothing would happen anyway, they can't give us detention, I leave tonight and Draco was basically the leader of the inquisitoral squad.

Despite everything that happened in the past few months Ruby always stayed positive, never cried infront of me because she wanted me to stay strong and she wanted to stay strong for me.

Pansy told me this, apparently Ruby cried in her arms after she found me that night and it broke me to find out I was hurting her so badly.

So seeing her cry infront of me made the pain in my chest worse.

I stood up pulling Draco with me before hugging Ruby, begging her not to cry as I pat her dyed red hair down.

"I'll miss you"
