Secrets || Draco Malfoy

Twenty- Two

It's Bill and Fluers wedding. I think it's a nice little break from the evil around us.

We all had gotten dressed up and nice.

I sat with Harry, Ron, and Hermione until Harry and Ron went off to do something. I wasn't really focused on what.

I'm worried. I wonder how Draco's doing.

"Y/n." Hermione says cutting me off from thought.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Is that Draco's owl?" She asks pointing to the owl standing on a chair.
"Oh my god. It is." I say.

I run over to him. He has a small envelope. I grab it and run to my seat.

I open it and pull out the paper.

"Dearest Y/n,
I tried writing to you but it would never work. Death Eaters are all over the Manor. I'm worried about you. You know how we told eachother to not die. I take that back. Don't get hurt. I don't care what happens. Don't get hurt. I promise I didn't know about them going to attack. Mom is trying to help me by keeping me away from that stuff. It doesn't work though. It's only making it harder. I'm so scared here. I don't like this. I'm trying to help the best I can. I managed to get this bit. They're planning on attacking the wedding. I know this might take longer than I want to arrive since Ulysses has to hide to get this to you. Please hide, be careful. Tell the others to be prepared for the attack. I recommend you don't respond back since all the owls are getting checked on arrival...

There's more but I don't have time to read it. I hand Hermione the letter as I run to Lupin.
"They're going to attack the wedding!" I yell.
"What?" He says. I notice many heads turn to my direction. I move to the middle of the room.

"Everyone listen up!" I yell. I notice every head now look at me. "The Death Eaters are planning on attacking!"

Everyone begins talking.
"How do you know?" Someone asks.

"I have person information from the inside." I say.

"They're here!" Someone yells.

Suddenly shots are being thrown left and right. They're here.

Stuff are on fire.

"Y/n!" Hermione yells standing next to Harry and Ron. I start running to them. I get to her side and she grabs my arm.

Everything starts spinning. We're disapparating.

We're in an alley.
"We have to go back. We need stuff." Ron says.
"I've got it all here." Hermione says pulling out a small bag. Ron looks at her confused. "I charmed it. It's huge inside."
"Blimey you're amazing." Ron says.
"Always that tone of surprise." She says with a smirk.

"Mione, clothes." I say.
"Oh right." She reaches in and hands us all out clothes.

We all change by going in different corners and covering ourselves with things Hermione is carrying.

We get to a coffee shop. We all order something.

I look around. Our waiter is giving us a weird look. We're the only ones in here.

I notice him reach into his pocket and start to pull out a wand.

"Get down!" I yell.

He throws a spell and we jump under the table.

Spells are being thrown back and forth.

We tie him up.

"What's your name?" Ron asks.
"No." He says.

I grab my wand and put it on his neck.
"Answer our questions." I say.
"Y/n Potter." He says almost amazed. I push the wand in closer. "Ravle. I was there on the tower when Albus died. I saw Draco defend your life. I saw Severus kill the old man. I saw Draco lead you out before we could chat." He says.

Hermione looks at me weirdly.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"The wanted posters. You and him." He says looking at Harry.
"I say we kill him." Ron says.
"No, we can't." Harry says.
"What if he killed Mad- Eye?" He says.

I look at him sitting there tied up. I kick him in the jaw.
"There." I say.

Hermione erases his memories.

I look at the time. It's past 12.

"The trace is over." I say to Harry.
"Oh my god." Hermione exclaims.
"What?" Harry asks.
"We didn't get to celebrate your birthday." She says.
"Mione." I start to say.
"Ginny and I were making you cakes. And I had gifts planned."
"It's fine, there's a lot more important things."

"Guys, we should get out of these streets." Ron says.

We go to where the order was kept.

There was a vision thing of Dumbledore.

We start getting ready for bed.

"Y/n, you didn't finish reading your letter." Hermione says handing me the envelope.
"Thank you." I say. She smiles.

I pull it out and start from where I left off.

"I recommend you don't respond back since all the owls are getting checked on arrival. I miss you so much. I know it's almost your birthday. I hope you get this beforehand. I really do wish you the best birthday and hopefully next year I'll be able to say this in person. There's a gift inside."

I stop to look inside the envelope. There's a pretty bracelet. I pull it out.

"The bracelet my mother helped me get. Well, she said it was hers and that I should give it to you. I charmed it with a small protection spell. It's probably not the best at protecting big spells but I hope it helps you stay safe. Once more Happy Birthday.

Sincerely me"

I smile as I put the bracelet on.

———— Draco's pov

I've been thinking of what to get her.

I walk around the manor on the section the Death Eaters are rarely found.

I try to think. I see Ravle at the end of the hall.

I start to worry. I head back to my room before I draw any attention to myself.

I open the door and see Mother reading what I had written on the letter so far. I can see all the other letters I have received from her laid out on the desk.

"Mother-." I try to say. She sighs.
"Close the door." She says. I do and walk over to her.

"Mother, I can explain." I start saying. She shakes her head.
"Draco, I know." She says.

"Do you love her? Really."
"Yes." I nod.

She sighs.
"I'll be back."

She leaves and I wait anxiously.

The door opens and she walks in.

"I have this. Give it to her." She says handing me a beautiful bracelet. I just know it's perfect for her.

"Thank you." I say. She hugs me.

She leaves and I charm the bracelet with a protection spell.
