Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

Year 7: The Ambush

The Dark Lord began to explain the ambush that will happen soon.
Draco's and I's hand were now separated and on our own lap.

"Those willing to prove their loyalty, this is a chance before I look at you one way and one way only." the dark lord scowled.

Everyone was quiet and mostly all bowed their heads.

"My lord. Can I volunteer...Y/N?"

It was Bellatrix's voice. I look up and The Dark Lord was staring at me as well as everyone else.

"Ive seen her potential and I trust she will do us right." Bellatrix continued.

"Y/N. I didn't take you as a...fighter." The Dark Lord hesitated.

"My Lord. I will be honored." I accepted.

——————————————
Once The Dark Lord apparated away, we all sighed a sense of relief.

"Y/N what were you thinking?" my dad whispered to me as we stood up from the table.

"I- I don't know." I stuttered.
As I look up to see his eyes I couldn't help but catch Bellatrix's eyes.

"Excuse me." I told my father as I walked to Bellatrix.

"What did you just do?!" I whispered aggressively.

"I did you a favor." She smirked. "Besides, you obviously needed a chance and I gave you one. So you're welcome."

"I don't need your help. I'm doing fine on my own." I say.

"Your bowed head says different. See you later." She apparates.

I sigh and put my hand to my face.

"Darling."
Draco taps my back.
I turn to face him with a slight frown.

"Are you alright?" Draco asked.
"Honestly, no." I say with faint tears in my eyes.
Draco hugs me tight.
"It'll be okay. It's our life now but we can do it. You can do it."
I smile with the words he tells me.

"Y/N! We need to go." I heard my mum say.
Draco and I let go.

"We are expecting guests. Oh Draco hon, you're welcome to come as well." my mum explains.

"It's okay Mrs. L/N. My family needs each other more now than ever." Draco says. "I'll see you soon."
Draco pulls me into another hug.
I hug him back stronger and say "I can't wait."

We let go and my mum says bye as Draco leaves.

We walk to my father and held onto each other before we apparated home.

Some Time After...

"We need to go now." A death eater demands.

I was at Draco's mansion waiting for the signal to leave.

I hadn't let go of Draco's hand since Ive gotten there. It made me feel calm and okay.

"You'll be okay my love. Promise me you'll be safe." Draco asked.
"I promise you. I'll come back." I gave a soft smile and he hugged me.

As we let go my parents put their hand on my shoulder.
Once the death eaters began to leave, I grabbed my broom and followed them.
—————————————————
I followed them until we reached our destination.
We hid until we see any flying objects.
I hid high above a cloud on my broom with my wand held tightly in my hand.
