Tempted By The Dark Side

Chapter 17

Fortunately you found Tom just round the corner. As you were running towards him you saw him killing five people almost all at once. 'I love him so much' you thought.
T: "My girl, I thought I had lost you! I told you to fucking stick with me! Don't do this again. Ever." he told you, pulling you in for a kiss."
The battle continued and you haven't seen Draco anymore. After another 30 minutes you started feeling exhausted. Seeing Hogwarts - the place you used to call your home half destroyed with dead bodies lying everywhere started to weigh on you. Suddenly Voldemort's voice resounded through the castle, saying he gives everyone one hour to take care of the dead and injured. He then spoke to Harry Potter, telling him he has one hour to surrender otherwise he's gonna kill everyone and completely destroy Hogwarts.
T: "Let's go, Y/n. Let's see if Potter finally pulls himself together."
You apparated into the Forbidden Forest and waited for what's going to happen. Just when you started thinking it was hopeless, Harry appeared from the darkness.
V: "The boy who lived has come to die" Voldemort said, pointing his wand at Harry and then struck him with the killing curse. They both collapsed to the ground.
T: "Father!"
Tom ran to his father and you followed him. Voldemort was unconscious. He woke up after few minutes and appeared weakened. As Bellatrix tried to help him get up, he angrily pushed her away. Him and Tom started whispering about something and everyone seemed confused by what had just happened.
V: "Is the boy dead? Somebody go and see!"
Y/n: "I will do it, my lord."
You approached Harry and kneeled down next to him. You touched his cheek but he was warm. You touched his chest and felt his heart beating. He was alive. Suddenly there was a war in your mind. You felt a hint of happiness but also fear. Does this mean Voldemort can not win? You did the first thing that crossed your mind.
Y/n: "Is Draco alive, Harry? Is he in the castle?" you whispered to him covertly.
He nodded slightly. You still weren't sure of what to do next but Bellatrix's screeching voice disturbed you from thinking.
B: "So? Is he dead, Y/n?"
You got up and turned around to face everyone.
Y/n: "He is dead, my lord."
After that Voldemort ordered Hagrid to carry Harry back to Hogwarts so he could proudly display his victim. As you followed everyone back to the castle, holding Tom's hand, you were rethinking everything. There was so much chaos in your mind. You just wished you could disappear. Did you still love Draco? Yes, you had feelings for him. You cared about him and that will never change. But you loved Tom more and wanted to stay by his side no matter what. When you made it back to the castle, Voldemort proudly announced Harry's death.
V: "Come join me, my children! Don't be afraid!"
You noticed Draco's face appear from the crowd. His parents started persuading him to step out and be the first to go over to the Dark Lord. He obeyed and walked towards his parents while giving you a piercing look. You sqeezed Tom's hand tighter. Suddenly you heard a thud and saw Harry running away. Everybody on the other side started cheering. Voldemort stood there, clenching his fists. You've never seen him this enraged. You looked at Tom and saw he was furious as well. He dropped your hand and both him and his father started shouting out curses in attempt to hit Harry. Harry was successfully defending himself. Suddenly Harry's and Voldemort's wands somehow connected and they both stood there, trying to overpower each other. You pulled Tom further away from them so he would be safe. Voldemort looked weaker all of a sudden. You knew there was no way he could defeat Harry at this point. You stood and watched him stumble and fall dead to the ground. You took Tom's hand and looked at him. His eyes were empty.
Y/n: "Tom, we have to apparate! It's not safe for us here anymore."
He wasn't listening and started walking away dragging you behind him. "That's Voldemort's son! He's trying to run away!" someone shouted. You looked around who it was but when you looked back at Tom you saw something was wrong. He was pale. You tried to catch him as he started collapsing to the ground. Someone hit him.
Y/n: "No...Tom...please, don't leave me. Look at me!"
You held him in your arms, tears streaming down your face. You were looking into his eyes and stroking his cheek, trying to keep him awake. But it was too late.
Y/n: "I love you..." you whispered.
He lifted up his hand using all the strength that was left in his body and wiped away your tears.
T: "I love you too, Y/n."
His hand dropped to his stomach, you held it gently watching him pass away. You stayed there holding his lifeless body, not wanting to let go. Suddenly you felt someone's warm hand softly touch your shoulder. You looked up and saw Cissy holding out her hand for you. Draco and Lucius were standing nearby. You kissed Tom's forehead, gently laid him down, took Cissy's hand and walked away with her.
