Possessed by Love

The Death Of Me

Scorpius POV

This was it. I was really about to die. And the worst part was that I was leaving my life in the hands of a girl who had already tried to kill me many times - I was just trusting her word.

"Are you really sure about this?" Delphi asked as she heightened her wand. I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. This was harder than I thought it would be. Much harder.

I never even got to say goodbye to Albus. If this went wrong, he would probably think this was some crazy suicide attempt. So would everyone else.

This was it; I had prepared myself as much as humanly possible. I was ready to leave the world to save myself.

"A..." Delphi was interrupted from her spell; the doors swung open. Dad, Harry and Albus stood together, all with their wands poised.

"Get the fuck away from my son you bitch." Dad crept towards Delphi; she stood her ground.

Shit. The plan was in jeopardy. The wheels had been stopped. But I decided I wouldn't let this be the end of it - I needed to die for the others to live.

I yanked my wand from the floor and pointed it at my father. He stared at me in shock, lowering his wand and dropping it to the floor.

"Scorpius..." he wiped a tear from his cheek, "What are you doing?" Oh God I was such a horrible person. I wished there was another way I could do this. But there wasn't.

A tear rolled down my cheek as I turned to Albus. 'I love you' I mouthed, forcing a tiny smile onto my dry lips.

I turned my glance to Delphi, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably. I have a short nod, inhaling deeply.

Delphi raised her wand in a quick motion, and she whispered, "Avada Kedavra."

A green light shot out from her wand and wrapped around me, cradling my waist. The screams of my Dad were drowned out by the lilting beam of light in front of me.

I collapsed into a heap on the floor; after that, there was nothing but darkness.

Albus POV

He was dead. He was fucking dead.

Draco was screaming and sobbing, he was inconsolable. Dad wrapped his arm around him and embraced him into a hug. He clung on so tight; who could blame him. He'd just lost the only family he had left.

And me... I lost the person I cared about most in the world. My heart sunk so deep into my chest; I'd failed him. I didn't even get to say goodbye. No one did.

Draco finally let go on his hold of my Dad and he sprinted to Delphi. "YOU BITCH! YOU'VE KILLED MY SON. MY EVERYTHING. FUCK YOU! WHY HIM, WHY HIM, WHY HIM."

He broke down into a mess on the floor, slowly crawling towards Scorpius, who was sprawled across the floor. He grabbed his waist and sobbed into his chest, holding him close.

My Dad managed to get him off gently and escort him out of the room. I just stared for a minute at Scorpius' lifeless body. There was nothing I could do to bring him back.

I glanced up at Delphi, who was hugging Effy rigidly. I couldn't even bare to look at them, so I ran out the room, tears streaming from my red, puffy eyes.

Third Person POV

Effy and Delphi stood together for a minute. That was much more chaotic than they'd wanted it to be.

"Please, Delphi, do it now." Effy cried.

No response.

"NOW."

Delphi was snapped out of her trance. She pulled her wand from her sock (she had strange places of stashing things) and pointed it at the lifeless body.

She flicked her wand in all sorts of directions, twisting and turning until finally, she stopped.

"It's not working." Delphi panicked.

"What do you mean it's not working?"

"I mean it's not fucking working."

"How can it not work? We planned this all out and now he's... he's..." Effy couldn't finish her sentence; it was too painful to even think about. She was part of the cause of the death of one of her best friends. Her Scorpius.

She collapsed beside him in a puddle of tears; she was a complete mess. She cried and cried until her eyes were red and raw. "He's really dead isn't he?" Effy sniffed.

"Yeah. I'm so sorry Effy, I really don't know what went wrong." Delphi cried a bit herself too. I mean, she had just murdered one of the only people who had ever trusted her.

They both felt like failures - they both were failures. They had unintentionally killed their friend. He was never coming back. Ever.

The girls decided it was best to leave - Draco wouldn't want them anywhere near the body. He would probably freak out if he even knew anyone was breathing next to the body.
