We bid our goodbyes to every guest while apologizing for the incident that had happened but most didn't mind. We just hope the council doesn't find out. My mother walks up to me before I head up to my room. "I think I owe you an apology myself. Im sorry to have humiliated you and tried to force you into marriage. From now on you get to make your own choices. You aren't a little girl anymore." She apologized with the genuine look in her eyes. "Thanks mother." I replied hugging her tightly.
After packing our bags Draco and I head off back to hogwarts. As much as I have my troubles with my mother I still love her and thankful for what she has done. Yes. It was a mess. Her mistake only brought me closer to Draco and got me out of an arranged marriage.
Few months later*
Meetings continued. Lessons continued. I'm torn from good and bad. As Im inching closer to the dark side forced or else my kingdom goes down or die being good.
I have to do what I have to do to survive.
"Flora you prat! Get over here now!" Draco yelled as he's chasing me around the manor with his wand in my hand.
"Shouldn't have been losing your shit Malfoy." I teased until he tackled me and snatched his wand back.
"You're really starting to get on my nerves." He stated not knowing if he's playing around or being serious. Ok maybeee me stealing his wand was bad but that's what he gets for stealing all my stuff the past couple of days. He kept pulling pranks on me in my sleep too.
"Flora, Draco. It's no time to be fooling around. Come with me." Lucius warned as we both jump to our feet and worried what is to come. He lead us to Voldemort and closed the door behind him.
"Give me your arms." Lord Voldemort hissed grabbing our arms after we hesitated for one second. I knew what was coming. We look down at our arms as Voldemort prepares his wand. "Morsmordre"
The Dark Mark appeared on our arms. Feeling the burn as it's branded into our skin. That's when we both knew there was nothing we could do. "There's something you two must do. Don't disappoint me. Kill Dumbledore. Get me that elder wand." He warned with no mercy in his eyes. "What happens if we don't succeed?" Draco foolishly asked. "You will succeed, if not you die. Both of you." He hissed causing the mark to burn our skin even more.
Lord Voldemort sent us off back to Hogwarts and we had to plan carefully what to do. Anything can raise suspicion. I hexed some girl then noticed Draco across the great hall and he runs off so I follow. I watch as he sobs over the sinks and when he looks up in the mirror to see my standing reflection in the back he just looses it even more. Walking to Draco I try to comfort him. Nothing was helping. I was the one who did it so he shouldn't be feeling guilty.
"I know what you did Malfoy." A voice spatted from his mouth. Potter. I turn to Draco knowing he wasn't the one who did it.
"Leave Potter." I warned but he just sat there.
"You hexed her, didn't you?" He asked holding his wand in my direction. Draco pushed me behind him and trying to stall Harry while telling me to run but I couldn't so I fought with him. I lost track of them and the fight got worse.
"Sectumsempra!" Harry yelled as I heard Draco fall onto the ground. I ran and pushed Harry aside seeing the blood spread out. Unable to speak.I knew what we were doing had consequences but he can't die on me. Not yet.
All my knowledge on how to heal others had left. Tears and all the emotions you could feel hit me all at once while watching him there in pain. Severus thankfully showed up and was able to heal his wounds. "Flora listen here. No one will touch guys guys." Severus murmured as if he took an oath to protect us. I ran trying to finish what Draco started.
I successfully created an entry way for other death eaters to enter Hogwarts. I was summoned to Voldemort shortly after with the Dark Mark burning deeper into my skin painfully. "Sweet precious Flora. You did it child." Voldemort cheered while I felt a smirk appear on my face. Feeling powerful yet still so scared. Wrong move and I end up dead. My kingdom swept away. I need to continue being successful.
In the manor I roam around Dracos room. Grabbing a quail and paper I start writing fast before I needed to head off. I needed to do it myself.
Draco Darling,
C'est ta love story et c'est à moi; it's your love story and it is mine. We may be stubborn but I can't deny the feelings we have. We must survive and do whatever we need to do good or evil for the sake of our family. If I don't survive this and you do I love you.
- love Flora Lockheart
Setting the letter on his night table he enters his room as I transport to Hogwarts. I slowly make my way to the astronomy tower. Sounds of tapping behind me appear. I turn to see my mother. "Flora. We need to return home." She warned hearing the danger and fear in her voice. She's inches away from me now and she grabs my arm lifting my gown slightly revealing a part of my Dark mark. "Flora! What is this? This is not who you are." She pleaded for me to return home.
"You want me to become queen, I must do what I have to do mother." I argued back when Draco appears behind her. I made a run for it with Draco running after me.
Making it to the astronomy tower we hear voices. As we stand before Dumbledore it was just him. "Good evening Flora and Draco, what brings you two here?" He said knowing what might happen. I raise my wand and Draco attempts to but I push his down. I must be the one to do it.
Dumbledore rambles on as I hold my wand steady. My hands start to tremble as I am trying to find myself resisting. "Flora you are no assassin, you too Draco." He reassured but I just felt my grip getting stronger.
"How do you know who I am? You don't know me. And Not him either." I cried out. All these negative thoughts taking over my head. The blood rushing and doubtful thoughts control my body.
"We were chosen." Draco followed revealing his first then I quickly lift up the sleeve of my gown to reveal mine as well. The doubt surrounds me and Draco making us hesitate.
"I shall make this easier for you guys." He stated but before he could do anything Draco yells "Expelliarmus!" And the elder wand flew out of his hands. None of us could bring ourselves to actually do it still knowing we could be killed. I'm feeling conflicted because we can't win.
Dumbledore tries to convince us to make the right choices while noticing there are others in the castle. "Please let me help you." Dumbledore insisted while Draco remains silent. "We don't want your help. Don't you even understand? We have to do this-" I cry out before Draco adds on, "we have to kill you... or he's going to kill her and me. We have to." He finished as our expressions showed our true fears of failing.
A few of the death eaters enter to see that we haven't finished what we were sent to do and Bellatrix adds on more pressure. She is mainly tormenting Draco but as I get ready to actually do it Severus enters. "No." He sternly said. With no hesitation, "Avada Kedavra" the words lingered off of Severus's mouth even after Dumbledore had fallen. Me and Draco were pushed along to hurry out the school as Bellatrix casts the dark mark into the sky. Leaving the great hall in destruction we leave with the other death eaters who had been celebrating what just had happened.
Turning my back to face the school I reflect on what just happened. There was no other choice.
"Come on Flora. We have to leave." Draco pushed me along.
