Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

End of Year 6

Y/N's POV

As we arrived to Draco's mansion, the Carrows summoned the Dark Mark into the air.
They cackled as the sky turned dark and the clouds formed a skull.

My mind was racing with thoughts.
I was also out of breath from running a lot.

Fenrir was ahead of us.
"Come on!" Fenrir hurried as he swishes his wand and the black gate turns into air.

Draco grabs my hand and guides me through the gate.
I saw that he was crying but he was making no noise.
That was an intense moment with Dumbledore.

I'm glad he wasn't the one who killed him though.
If he did, he would have to live with the heavy guilt.

The Carrows followed behind us and the gate turned solid again once they walked through.

We walk into Malfoy Manor and head up some steps into a dimly lit room.

My parents were there, accompanied by Draco's mother and some more death eaters.

I saw Narcissa walk up to Draco.
I gently pull away from Draco so he could talk to his mother alone.
He quickly glanced at me and I shot him a small smile.

My mother got up from the black couch and gave me a hug.
I saw my father walk up to us and he put a hand on my shoulder.
"Did it go well?" My mother whispered into my ear.
I nodded as she let go of the hug.
She looked me in the eye.

I could see her under eyes had become more visible and I saw subtle hints of sorrow in her brown eyes.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
I didn't realize how much this has affected her as much as it did me.

She tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and gave me a soft smile.
I returned one.

"Did you complete it?" I heard Draco's mother asked to Draco.

"Not in the way the Dark Lord wanted." Bellatrix chimed in.
We shift our attention to Bellatrix.

"Severus killed Dumbledore." Bellatrix announced with a sneer.

I heard a wave of sighs across the room.
"Reckon the Dark Lord will be angry." I predicted out loud.
My father squeezed my shoulder and I looked up to him.
He softly bowed his head with a small frown.

"Not quite." A low, raspy voice began.

I felt myself freeze.
I knew that voice.

The Dark Lord is here.

I heard Nagini hissed.

"I am not angry." He paused.
I heard him walk a few steps.
"Just disappointed." He slowly finished.

I got the guts to glance at the Dark Lord.
He was next to Draco with a hand on his shoulder.

He slowly dragged it off of Draco.

It went quiet for moment as he looked at everyone in the room.

"Albus Dumbledore is DEAD!" He exclaimed.

I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding as the Death Eaters around me laughed.

"It is not long before I will rise to power.
The power.
To take over wizard kind." the Dark Lord sneered.

I heard the Death Eaters chuckle.

"I want all mudbloods gone. They don't deserve to live if all they do is bring shame. Shame on us purebloods." the Dark Lord spoke with anger.

"Do what you need to do." He spoke one last time before he apparated with a *swoosh*

Nagini slithered into a nearby vent and was gone.

A lot of death eaters apparated.
The only ones left were Bellatrix, Narcissa, Draco and my family.

"What about Lucius?" Narcissa said with a shaky voice.

My mother went up to Narcissa and comforted her.
"I'm sure the Dark Lord will let him out. Soon." I heard my mother say.
I saw Bellatrix roll her eyes and sat down on one of the couches.

I caught Draco's eye and he seemed like he really wanted to cry.

He quickly walked out of the room.

I got out of my father's grasp and followed him.

I catches up to him in the kitchen where he stopped.

I pulled him into a tight hug.
I heard him sniffle and said, "It's okay. Let it out. You're safe now."
He hugged me tighter as he hid his face in my shoulder.

I don't know if his cries were of sadness, anger, or fear.
Maybe all of the above.

"y/n. Let's go." I heard my father call from the doorway.

We slowly let go of the hug and my father leaves.

"You need rest, love." I told him as I tried to catch his eye.
"I know." He softly said.
It was nice hearing his voice after awhile.

"It was intense. I'm glad that extra pressure is over." I say with a soft smile to bring some good to the situation.

"Yeah, but at what cost?" Draco spoke with a small frown.

"Y/n. Come on, let's go." My father urged at the doorway.
This time he stayed.

"Bye darling. I love you." I tell him as I give him one last hug.

"I love you too." He pauses as he hugs me back.
"So much." He whispered to me and I smiled.
We let go and I go to my father.

"Bye Draco. Get some rest, son." My father says to Draco.

"I will, sir. Bye." Draco assured.

My father walks me to my mother in the other room.

We apparate home.

It felt weird being home during school time.
I shook it off.

"Goodnight." I told my parents as I head to the stairs.
"Goodnight." They replied.

I went up the stairs and into my room.
I took off my clothes put on pjs.

God, this day was crazy.
What about my stuff?
O/n?
Where is she?

I hope my parents can take care of it.

For now, I needed to sleep.

I go under the covers and tucked myself in.

I close my eyes and fall sound asleep.
