Chapter 8

My mother always told me I was destined to do great things. She said 'Y/N, you're going to be a great witch, we will make sure of it. So many things you will do in your life, just wait. You will rule the wizarding world!

I knew that I would be great since I was a child, It was embedded in me. Then I met Draco and I knew I wanted the both of us to be great at each other's side.

Weeks and weeks, sleepless nights spent either in the astronomy tower over thinking or in the room of requirements. Finally finishing it, nights that weren't in the Astronomy tower were in the prefect dorm, time passed as the day got closer.

"We have to do this right? We've gone so far we definitely have to do this." While fixing the cabinet and seeing the stress Draco and I have gone through I've been having these intrusive thoughts. I will be going against the people I've been going to school with for years, but what have they done for me? Besides, look up to me, but I never asked for this. If anything I will have to kill them. Draco has his entire family life on his shoulders. I can't go back. I've told these kids to trust me, I can't go back on my word. I can't go back on my word to Godfather.

"We have no choice at this point. Maybe Potter was right. If we told them, maybe we would be free -."

"Don't you ever say that!" I turn around looking at him getting ready to go down to the main hall. Running on less than an hour of sleep does not look good on me. I look sickly.

"You know what would happen to us at this point. It's worse than expulsion. We just let it play out and be safe. He won't hurt me and he won't hurt you if you just listen. We did our parts, Dray, okay anything else we will figure out. Now we can think of our future after this bloody war." Putting my earring on I turn to face him in his suit button up without the blazer.

Letting out a sigh of air I look at him, my hands reaching his shoulders.

"Draco, after all of this it's just going to be us. I promise. We're going to run away after godfather wins or whatever. I don't think I want to "rule' the wizarding world like everyone wants me to, and I know I might be disappointing everyone hell I might be disappointing you." Draco's hands reached to my cheeks pulling me onto his lips. Resting my head on his shoulder.

"You never disappoint me. Ever since we got these wretched marks I've felt nothing but numb and stressed and I liked seeing my father actually scared of something for once and needing me for something. But my mother, my mother never wanted this. She's being dragged into something she never expected to happen when Voldimort disappeared. When I first got the mark I felt like nothing would stop me, especially being at your side until I saw the cabinet and I knew I was set up to fail. My point is, Y/N I want to be with you. I want us to go back to how we were before any of this happened when we were naive and so in love not even Potter and his Mudblood and Blood traitor rats bothered me unless you were in class. We spend summers in your family's summer home day dreaming of getting married and what it would've been like if we ran away to a cottage." Something seemed to hit me. On the way to my family cottage we always passed an abandoned Cottage that just needed some care... or magic. If we left at the right moment where no one will notice, maybe we can leave. Explain to the authorities that we were manipulated and forced to do this. Escape, be free.

"Why don't we leave?" I pulled away going through my photos till I found a photo of the cottage.

"The cottage before the summer home. We always went there we could live there. I see what it's doing to you, to us. We'll be okay. After he kills Harry, he's taking over Hogwarts. The teachers will fight back while that goes on we can leave, we'll run if they find us we tell them everything we were manipulated they can't punish us for this." I held onto his clammy hands my vision going blurry from tears. Blurring images of Bellatrix and Voldimort lifting their wands, people falling to the floor, my body began falling towards the floor until I felt someone catch me. My vision came to, not understanding what happened.

"What happened? Are you okay? We need to take you to the hospital wing." Draco began rambling.

"No no I'm okay I think I just need to eat. Let's go." I walked out of the dorm down to the main hall for breakfast. Walking into the hall I hear Katie Bell talking to Harry. I knew what happened to her and that it was an accident, well for her it was. It was never meant for her but her sticky fingers had to open it.

"I know you're going to ask, Harry. But I don't know who cursed me. I've tried to remember. Honestly. But I just... can't..." Her eyes began shifting towards where Draco and I stood looking at him. He looked paler than normal cold sweating already staring in their direction.

Katie backs away from Harry, retreating to the other girls. Harry watched her go,before he looked back Draco began walking off, following behind him not caring for the person he was walking away from who was surely following behind us.

No matter how many times I called behind him he kept walking briskly, sweat building up on his forehead. He rushes into the bathroom, following behind him not caring for the gender he lurches to the mirror, steading himself against the sink, before reaching to touch him a heaving shudder is heard as Draco begins to cry. I ran my hands on his back starting the faucet whispering things, hoping he would calm down. The bathroom door eased open, looking in the mirror Harry was staring at the sight like it's a spectacle. Draco's eyes shifted up terrified to be caught vulnerable. He shoves me off, turning and pointing his wand at Harry. A spell casting, shattering the lamp next to Harry's head. Flames began to crawl up the ceiling. I tried bringing attention to it but Harry casted another spell causing water to explode and rain down. I never felt so helpless my yells for attention fell on deff ears. No spell came to my mind all those weeks of training down the drain seeing my only weakness is vulnerable and in possible danger.

"Cruci-." I immediately stepped in front of him but not at his wand in case he actually did cast the curse. Now is not the time for him to curse Potter of all people Godfather would take it out on him. The only people allowed to bring harm to him was God Father from this point on. If he did his head would be on a platter.

"Draco no-" My sentence was cut short by Harry's spell.

"SECTUMSEMPRA!" My body lurched forward into Draco's falling into him. Looking down at where the pain is, red ooze leaked from my blouse. Draco staggered to the ground holding me. If this is how I die, how am I supposed to be great? A great disappointment? How am I supposed to be with Draco? I'm too young. Look at me now godfather died protecting someone I love, my weakness. So much for putting the mission first.
