Without you | Draco Malfoy x Y/n Potter

- Coincidence -

I receive the letter back from my mother as the owl flies back through my window. I rip open the envelope and open up the parchment.

Draco

I'm sorry you aren't doing well with the cabinet. Bellatrix and I are having the same issue as you are. I hope you're doing well and remember to stay strong for me, my beautiful son.

-Mother

A tear rolls down my cheek as I read the end of the letter. I place the letter in my drawer on my beside table in the pile of other letters from my mother.

...

Eventually, spring rolls around and from what I've overheard from Blaise and Delilah, Y/n is still not awake. And I'm also pretty sure that nobody is aloud to see her yet.

I only have three months until the end of the school year which means three months to fix the bloody cabinet.

I'm sitting at the Slytherin table for dinner as Blaise dragged me down after he saw I haven't been eating. My expression most of the time now when I'm around others is blank.

And it seems as if whenever I'm alone I'm always crying now. "You should try the potatos. They're great." Blaise says nudging the dish of potatos to me. "I'm okay, thanks." I mutter.

"I dragged you down here for a reason, Malfoy. Eat." Blaise insists. I sigh and put a small amount of food onto my plate including the potatoes.

Delilah stares at me in shock after I ate everything on my plate in less than five minutes. "You needed that." She says. I scoff and look away from her.

I get up and start walking back to the dungeons and I see Harry, Ron and Hermione talking. I accidentally overhear some of their conversation as I walk past them.

"There's no way Katie Bell cursed Y/n." Hermione says. "Well obviously not. Whoever gave that package to Katie wanted to curse Dumbledore. Not Y/n." Harry speaks.

"How do you know someone gave Katie the package?" Ron questions. "Just a theory." Harry replies. I stand behind a corner and listen in on their conversation to find out what they know of could've saw.

I hear Harry take a breath before he admits his guess. "It was Draco." He stated. "What?" Ron asks. My breath hitches and I try to not make a sound from behind the corner.

"Why would Malfoy want to curse Dumbledore?" Hermione asks. "I saw him go to the bathroom at The Three Broomsticks and just a moment later Katie came out with the package and gave it to Y/n." Harry confesses.

"It could just be a coincidence." Hermione implies. "I know, but Draco and I made eye contact before he went in. And he looked scared." Potter continued.

He saw me. He knows. I quickly walk to the dungeons and up to my dorm as my breathing is yet again shaky and unsteady.

My hand runs through my messy hair before going up to my chest. The sound of my heavy breathing fills the room and a tear rolls down my cheek.

I rush to the bathroom and lean on the sink and look through the drawers for the blade. I roll up my left sleeve and wince in pain as the blade meets my skin.
