Slytherin Boys x Y/N Short Stories

A Choice of the Heart - Draco Malfoy

The war between Voldemort's forces and those who stood against him raged on, and Hogwarts was now a battlefield. Draco Malfoy had been given a mission: to eliminate Y/N, who was fighting bravely on the side of the Order of the Phoenix. It was a test of his loyalty, and he knew that failure was not an option.

Draco had always been torn between the path laid out by his family and his love for Y/N. They had shared a secret relationship, hidden from the dark forces that sought to tear them apart. As he moved silently through the chaos, his heart ached at the thought of what he was about to do.

He found Y/N fighting valiantly in the courtyard, her wand flashing with spell after spell. She was fierce and determined, her courage only making his task more unbearable. He raised his wand, his hand trembling.

"Y/N," he called out, his voice barely above a whisper.

She turned, her eyes widening as she saw him. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The battle around them faded into the background as they locked eyes.

"Draco," she said softly, lowering her wand. "You're here to kill me, aren't you?"

Draco's throat tightened, and he could barely speak. "I have to. They'll kill me if I don't."

Y/N took a step closer, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. "It's alright, Draco. I know you're in an impossible situation. But I need you to know that I love you, no matter what happens."

Tears filled Draco's eyes. "How can you say that? I'm about to—"

Y/N placed a gentle hand on his cheek, stopping him. "I believe in you. I believe that you can choose your own path. You don't have to do this."

Draco's resolve crumbled as he looked into her eyes. The love and trust he saw there broke through the fear and darkness that had been consuming him. He lowered his wand, the decision clear in his heart.

"I can't do it," he whispered, tears streaming down his face. "I love you too much, Y/N."

At that moment, a curse flew past them, narrowly missing Y/N. The battle surged around them, but Draco stood firm. He grabbed her hand, pulling her close.

"We have to get out of here," he said urgently. "Together."

Y/N nodded, squeezing his hand. "I'm with you, Draco. Always."

They moved through the chaos, fighting side by side. Draco knew they were risking everything, but his love for Y/N gave him the strength he needed. They found a safe spot in one of the hidden corridors, catching their breath.

Draco looked at Y/N, his heart pounding. "I'm sorry for everything. For the lies, for the danger. I should have protected you better."

Y/N smiled softly, brushing a tear from his cheek. "You're protecting me now. That's all that matters."

As they held each other, Draco knew that he had made the right choice. The war around them was far from over, but they would face it together. Their love had given him the courage to defy his fate, and he would fight to ensure they had a future, no matter the cost.

In the end, it was not darkness that defined Draco Malfoy, but the light of his love for Y/N. And that love would guide them through the darkest of times, bringing hope where there had been none.
