Broken Bonds

Chapter 18

The three of them were trapped in the cold room for hours until Wormtail came in saying "The Dark Lord orders his son to meet him right now." Mattheo glanced at Y/n only to find out she wasn't looking at him, but Draco was staring at him. His stare was deadly but also funny. He tried his best to look scary but didn't.

Mattheo looked down, his head weighed down by his shame. He had broken Y/n's and Draco's trust. That could never be completely fixed. Could it?

Leaving that thought behind him Mattheo followed Pettigrew.

After Mattheo left Y/n heard a voice "It.. It's your fault this happened. Your fault Mom.." The voice was stern but also filled with grief. "She died because of you Y/n." The voice belonged to her brother, Draco.

"What? What do you mean?" Y/n asked in a hushed tone.

"She died protecting you. If you would've endured a bit of pain for the sake of your family, my mother wouldn't have died." Draco's words cut like a blade through Y/n's paper-thin mind.

"She was my mother too," Y/n replied with tears in her eyes.

"No, she wasn't. She treated you like her own but now you aren't. You don't get to call her that. Not anymore. You killed her."

"You don't mean that Draco," Y/n said almost breaking down.

"Yes. Yes, I do. Just stay away from me from now on. I don't want anyone to die because of you." Draco spoke up while turning himself away from Y/n.

As Draco walked away, leaving Y/n alone with her broken heart and his harsh words she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she felt the weight of loneliness crush her spirit.
Little did they know that help was on its way.

Mellony, Pansy, Theo, and Blaise stealthily made their way through the manor's corridors, they encountered their first obstacle: a series of magical wards blocking their path.

Pansy frowned as she examined the shimmering barrier. "This won't be easy to cross," she whispered, her brow furrowed in concentration.

Mellony nodded her wand at the ready. "We'll need to use a combination of charms to weaken the wards," she replied, her voice determined.

Theo glanced nervously down the hallway, alert for any signs of danger. "We'll have to work quickly before anyone notices," he cautioned, his grip tightening on his wand.

With deft precision, they began casting spells to unravel the wards, their hearts pounding with adrenaline as they worked against the ticking clock.

Just as they were about to breach the barrier, they heard footsteps approaching from around the corner. Panic surged through them as they realised they were running out of time.

"We need to hurry!" Blaise urged, his voice urgent as he redoubled his efforts.

With a final burst of magic, they managed to weaken the wards enough to slip through undetected, breathing a sigh of relief as they pressed on toward their goal.

However, their relief was short-lived as they encountered the next challenge: a labyrinth network of shifting corridors that seemed designed to confound and confuse them.

Pansy frowned as they reached yet another fork in the path. "Which way do we go?" she muttered, frustration evident in her voice.

Mellony glanced around, her eyes scanning the twisting passages. "We need to stick together and stay focused," she advised, her tone resolute.

Theo nodded, his jaw set with determination. "Let's keep moving forward," he said, leading the way as they forged ahead into the maze.

But no sooner had they taken a few steps when the walls seemed to shift and change before their very eyes, disorienting them and leading them astray.

"We're going in circles!" Blaise exclaimed, frustration mounting as they struggled to find their way through the maze.

With each wrong turn, their frustration grew, but they refused to give up, their determination to rescue their friends fuelling their resolve.

Finally, after what felt like hours of wandering, they stumbled upon a hidden passageway that led them closer to their destination.

As they pressed on, their footsteps echoing in the dimly lit corridor, they were suddenly ambushed by a group of dark wizards, blocking their path with evil grins on their faces.

Pansy's heart raced as she raised her wand, ready to defend herself and her friends. "We're not backing down," she declared, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her veins.

Theo and Blaise stood at her side, their wands at the ready as they prepared to face their adversaries head-on.

With spells flying and curses crackling through the air, they fought with everything they had, pushing themselves to their limits as they battled against the dark forces that sought to thwart their mission.

But despite the odds stacked against them, they refused to falter, their determination to rescue Y/N and Draco giving them the strength to persevere.

Finally, after a lot of struggle, they emerged victorious, their adversaries defeated and the path cleared before them once more.

After overcoming countless obstacles and battling through the depths of the manor, Mellony, Pansy, Theo, and Blaise they finally reached the room where Y/N and Draco were being held captive.

As they burst through the door, their hearts soared with relief at the sight of their friends. Y/N and Draco turned towards them, their eyes widening in disbelief and gratitude at the unexpected rescue.

"Thank Merlin you're here!" Pansy exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion as she rushed forward to embrace her friends.

Draco's expression softened as he looked upon their rescuers, a mixture of gratitude and awe in his eyes. "I never thought we'd see anyone from outside," he admitted, his voice hoarse with emotion.

Mellony stepped forward, her eyes shining with determination. "We weren't gonna leave you behind," she declared, her voice steady and unwavering.

Blaise nodded in agreement, his gaze fierce with determination. "You're not alone anymore," he said firmly, his words echoing with the resolve of their group.

Theo and Blaise stood at their side, their expressions resolute as they surveyed the room. "We'll get you out of here," Theo promised, his voice brimming with determination.
