A Boy From Slytherin | Draco Malfoy X Reader

~118~

Y/n's POV

"NOOOOO!" A male voice screams loudly, ear splittingly loud, the horror in the voice was unmistakable to anyone who may have heard it. It's like the scream I would have conjured, if I wasn't so paralyzed with fear in the mortifying moment.

What happened next, scared me even more. Instead of feeling heat, and sweat take over my body, my blood runs cold and I freeze, literally freeze.

Mattheo, who I soon realize is the one who screamed, flings himself in Kayden's way, shoving him out of the strike zone of Bellatrix's dagger, and takes his brothers place. My throat closes up completely and air is impossible to consume.

The sharp dagger hits Mattheo directly in the throat and he falls onto his back, breathing only hardly.

It takes me a second to comprehend the event that just took place, but I soon realize what's happened, and it hits me like a brick wall.

"No..." I gasp and sprint over to Mattheo, kneeling at his side. His face is turning whiter and whiter, and his pale lips part as he tries to gasp for air. "Matt, Matt....Mattheo, y-you're okay, Matt, you're okay. Just breathe, please, just breathe, breathe for me, please, Matt." I Beg.

Around me I hear the other death eaters leave, and Draco and Pansy are frozen in their spots, as is Kayden in the moment.

Mattheo gasps again, finally breathing.

"Y/n..." He manages, out of instinct, I bring my hand to the cut on his neck to stop the heavy flow of crimson red blood, so he can speak. He winces and finally speaks again, "Hey, I...I need you to tell Max...tell her...tell her I love her, please, tell her I how much she means to me."

My eyes well up with thick, hot tears, blurring the vision of my brother.

"No, Matt don't say that, don't say that, you're not dying, you can tell her yourself that you love her. Matt...You're not dying, don't do this." I sob,

"Hey..." He says low and weak. "I love you too, all of you...Y/n...please tell Max I'm sorry we never got to get married...in my trunk there's letters...for all of you."

"Mattheo, please, don't go, just breath, just breathe, don't do this!" I begin to sob uncontrollably, holding him there on the floor.

"Mm," He winced again, Kayden finally gets up and crawls to Matt's side. "Kayden...you can live your life now. It had to be one of us..."

"No, Mattheo, don't!" Kayden also begins to sob. "You're not gonna die! I love you, come on, please don't do this!"

I sob over my brother.

"NARCISSA!" I scream desperately for some help. "AUGUSTUS! SNAPE! ANYONE HELP!"

Narcissa runs into the room and freezes just like Pansy and Draco.

"Y/n..." Matt whispers, getting weaker and his blood pools all over the place, coating my hands and arms, the wooden floor, his clothes, my clothes. He slowly and very weakly lifts his hand, holding his pinky finger out. "Promise me you'll tell Max I love her. And promise me you'll..." He beings to cough blood, "Promise me you'll take care of her."

I instantly link my bloody pinky with his.

"I promise, Matt, I promise," I sob, "I love you. I love you...please...I love you."

Mattheo draws his final breath and blood oozes from his mouth, his brown eyes still open and glistening with the last tears he ever shed.

I sob over his body, clutching him and holding him tightly, not caring that I'm soaked with his blood. Kayden sobs too, clutching onto his brother as well.
