apparition | d.m (sequel to hypothermia)

twenty seven

you have fought valiantly
but in vain
I do not wish this.
Every drop of magical blood spilled is a terrible waste.
I therefore command my forces to retreat.
In there absence, dispose of your dead with dignity.

Harry Potter,
I now speak directly to you.
On this night you have allowed your friends to die for you.
Rather than face me yourself.
There is no greater dishonour.
Join me in the forbidden forest and confront your fate.
If you do not do this I shall kill every man, woman and child who tries to conceal you from me.

"I'm sorry about your father, Constance." Ron stood in front me with his hands in his pockets. He stared at the ground but then looked in my eyes, "I'm sorry I was so horrible to you too."
I nodded, "I'm sorry I punched you in fourth year."
He chuckled, "I deserved that."

Harry walked up to us too and pulled me in a hug, "I'm so stupid. I'm sorry Constance. I never should have shunned you. I love you, my sister. I deeply regret what I've ever done to you. You never did anything to me and you deserve nothing that happened to you. Other than Draco and Ophelia. By the way, she is a beautiful baby and if it's okay with you, I want to be her uncle." Harry apologized, "I'm sorry."

I smiled at the mention of my baby, and the thought of Destiny. "It's okay, Harry. I forgave you a long time ago. I was just clouded with hate."

He gave me a genuine smile, "Let's go to the Great Hall."

.

Draco;

"She's beautiful." Blaise whispered, we walked towards Hogwarts from the huge group of Death Eaters in the Forbidden forest.
I smiled, "I know."
"Even you're daughter. Ophelia, I'm still disappointed her name isn't Blaise or Blake." He joked,
I rolled my eyes, "Not a chance."
He laughed, "But for real Draco, you have a beautiful family."
I nodded, "Thanks Blaise."

.

The big doors have always intimidated me whenever I entered Hogwarts. I mean, they're big and black.
That sounded racist as fuck, shit I'm a horrible person.
Draco you are a horrible person.
I sighed, and walked through the big doors of the Great Hall and searched for Constance. I spotted her sitting by George Weasley who was crying. I furrowed my eyebrows and saw Fred laying on the floor in front of him, his skin a pale grey colour.
"He's dead." A soft voice spoke,
I looked to my right and saw Luna Love Good standing there with a sad look in her face. She turned to look at me and her eyes were a deep dark black colour.
"He's coming." She said,

I furrowed my brows, "Luna what do you mean?"

"He's coming," She said again, more aggressively. "He's coming."

Screams erupted through the Great Hall and I turned frantically to Constance. In front of her was Voldemort who gave her a killer glare.
"Constance Evangeline Snape." He growled, "I loved you. I loved you and you went to Draco. I got engaged to Laura because I thought you would come back to me, but no." He raised his wand at Constance and it was like everything went in slow motion.
I screamed in protest and ran to them but I was too late
"If I can't have you no one can." With a finale wave of his wand he shouted the killing curse, killing the love only light I've ever known.
He disappeared with a loud snap and Constance's grey pale body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
I ran to her side and hastily picked her up in my arms, "Constance?!"
Exclamations erupted through the room and silent cries were heard from places. Harry and his two friends crouched down in front of me and looked a me with sympathy.
Something wet fell from my eyes and dropped onto her pale cheekbones, my tears fell down like a waterfall. I brushed a piece of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead, "Come back to me." I whispered, and kissed her cheek, "Please come back. You said you'd never leave me. You said you'd never leave us."
I rocked her body back and forth, "Constance, I love you."

"Draco..." Harry cried, "I'm sorry. You're not the only who lost her."

I shook my head, "I saved her. I saved her from something that could've destroyed her. I promised her that I would and I did. She promised she never leave me." I cried harder and pressed my face into her dull black hair, that still smelled the strawberry shampoo she used the night before.
Her clothes still smelt like her.
Her voice still sang in my ear.

I sobbed, "I loved her!"

I felt arms wrap around my shoulders and on instinct I shoved them away.
"Draco," The person whispered, "It's me."
I looked behind me and saw Laura, "Laura.."
"What happened?" She cried, and St beside me. The minute she saw Constance she burst into tears.
"He did it." Harry growled and stood up, "He killed her. So now, I'm going to kill him."

___________
I actually cried while writing this, so much that I had to wipe my makeup off so I can legit cry.

Next chapter is the last one.

I'm sorry, but writing this book has been fun.
I hope you loved it because I did.
