Twisted Fate - Draco Malfoy x fem reader

Chapter 25

Y/n's POV:

It was becoming too close to Y/n's coronation - only 2 months away - and it was affecting her powers greatly. The water around her has been constantly moving in unnatural ways and sometimes even exploded onto other students without her permission. So Dumbledore has allowed her to have a week off to sort out this situation, as it was not only affecting her but her environment as well.

The transition for the coronation was both a physical and mentally challenging process. Some Fae heirs don't even survive some of them since their body was just to weak. So Y/n was determined to battle through this stage. It only lasted a few days, surely she can handle that.

Y/n was sat on her chair in the Gryffindor common room with a cup of tea in her hand to ease the aching in her body and head. Luckily, the water within the cup hasn't been affected by her powers. For now at least. Her head throbbed in pain, it felt as if she has had a hammer hit against the side of her head, leaving her ears to bleed and ring. Her whole body felt as heavy as lead, needing to drag herself everywhere.

Her eyes had visible bags underneath from lack of sleep and she had to sit in front of the fire on the couch to keep warm all the time. Y/n heard the door open and looked to see Draco walking in, severely concerned with Riaz and her friends behind him. Y/n got up to hug him, but he ran over first and a lot faster, pulling her into his arms.

Y/n wrapped her arms around his waist as she buried her face into his chest. He sighed in relief when he saw Y/n, but already noticed how much she was going through. He held her close, his arms around her waist as he kissed her forehead,
" I'm here, Y/n, I always will be", He whispered in her ear. It's been two days since she has last seen him due to him being a Slytherin. The only reason why he's here now was because of her friends sneaking him in.

Y/n sat down on the couch beside Draco, snuggling against his chest to seek comfort in his warmth. He kept her close, allowing her to make her more comfortable. His heart broke for her. It felt like his heart was twisting in an unbearable way as dread filled his stomach. He hated seeing her in pain. It made him want to skive lessons and only take care of her.

Riaz placed a hand on her forehead to check her temperature and sighed, " She's in stage two. There are 5 stages. The next stage will be nausea, then throwing up, and lastly, she will be asleep for a few days without waking up. It gives her body to rest and fully heal, then she will be ready for the coronation," Riaz explained the stages, which only made Draco tighten his arms around her more. He didn't like this, not one bit, but he was powerless against this.

Ron began, confused and concerned,
" I don't understand. Why does she have to go through this? Why can't she just go to the coronation and be rightfully crowned?" Harry nodded in agreement, thinking the same thing.

" Because a Fae ruler needs to be a lot more powerful than a normal ordinary Fae. So Fae princes and princesses will develop when they're close to the age of 18 for their powers to develop also. Y/n's power within her is growing stronger, but it's difficult for her because she doesn't have her life source. Her body has no reason to finish the process without it. She'll be like this a lot longer than a few days, and I don't know if her body can take that much,"

Draco listened to every word in silence, his gaze never leaving her sleepy face. He could feel how hot her skin was despite her feeling so cold. He could feel the warmth coming from her. At the end part of the explanation, he felt as if his heart dropped into his stomach. Draco was desperate to do something. He needed her alive, he needed her by his side all his life. He can't lose her. Not now. Not ever. Y/n was his only light in the darkness of this cruel world. Without her, he wouldn't have a reason worth fighting for.

" I'll go," Draco spoke, silencing the conversation between the friends. He looked up at Riaz, then back down at a sleeping Y/n against his chest, the feeling of her breathing slowly was enough to ease him for only a bit. " I'll steal her life source from my Father. I'm not allowing him to take her from me like this. I-I can't lose her," Draco almost choked on his own sobs whilst he spoke. It was clear from the way his voice cracked for a split second. Everyone in the room was in shock and awe at his words.

He slowly got up from the couch, placing Y/n's head gently on the pillow and kissed her forehead. The movement caused her to wake up, her eyes barely opening fully from how weak she was, " Draco?" She muttered, her voice shaky and vulnerable, it was almost a mumble. He stroked her hair, trying to conceal his tears,
" I'll make you better, alright? I promise I'll be back," He took off his silver ring that symbolised for the Malfoy's and placed it in her hand for her to keep a hold off.

" This is a promise. I'll come back and take it back, wait for me, okay?" Draco whispered, she nodded slowly, clutching the ring close to her chest. She was clearly worried from the way her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes forming tears.
He kissed her cheek one last time before exiting Hogwarts, not caring that he was breaking the rules.

He would do anything for her.
Even if he's breaking the rules and going against his family.
