Girl With One Eye (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

part 15

The final trial was here....my wrist stung painfully as i clenched my hand tightly. The pain reminding me of the night of the ball......i was aware of the young man watching me, i was aware that he sat directly infront of me in hopes to catch my eye however, i didnt want to feel the pain in mt heart whenever i seen them together. 'You cant treat him like this... its better to have him in your life as a friend than not at all...' plastering a smile on my face i looked up to him seeing his once disheartened face light up, he smiled and waved to which i returned it. "Will you be alright?" "Course boys...see you at the cup" i winked at them in a teasing way making them laugh, we positioned ourselves and i realised that i would have to use alot of magic on this trial...i readied my wand and prepared to launch my self forwards. 'Good luck' Draco mouthed to me from his place making me smile to him even when Pansy hung from his arm. My clothes from the first trial clung to my body as the maze appeared before us, only then did a gut churning feeling run through me. I ran and ran firing spells at anything that came at me that resembled a threat, a scream rang through the air that sounded like Flur making me push forwards faster in hopes to find my brother or one of the others...and find i did...Viktor was acting strange, he suddenly began to fire spells at me however i knew he wasnt himself, those kind and stern eyes no longer remained. The rest remained a blur as i ran from the bigger and physically stronger male, but i found myself sat in the middle of what looked like a graveyard, my wrists and legs were held in place as i was hoisted to my feet making me wince in pain as the death eater gripped my wound tightly. Cedric fired his wand at voldamort only to be killed by rat face "NO! CEDRIIIIIIC!!!" Tears threatened to spill however i had enough for crying...i had enough of being weak...if i had a cursed animagus form by god was i going to use it! Spells flew from Voldamort and my brother until i casted one final spell that would push me over my already reached limit, "Lacero!" Wounds cut into the arms of the men holding me making them let me go as they howled in pain at my relentless spell, i dashed forwards to harry who had successfully managed to grab Cedrics body, my arms had already began to transform, feathers pushed painfully through my skin and my nails turned black and claw like. I struck one woman, with crazed black hair successfully cutting into her arm before holding onto harry as he grabbed the portkey. The world warped and we were soon transported to a crowd cheering and hollering, however my brother and i were in no mood to celebrate as we mourned Cedric, i could feel the feathers growing more and more out of my skin but i still grasped onto the hufflepuff jersey as i screamed loudly at the loss of my friend who was like a brother to me, memories of our past times flowed through my mind making tears threaten to fall however i couldnt let them fall... i shakily rose as pain convolted through my body, the crowd realised something was wrong the moment they heard my scream, a single face showed through the crowd as clear as day to me as i clutched my arms to my body, fear and worry showed on his face 'he cant see you like this! No one can see you like this!!!!' I screamed to myself in my mind as i felt the feathers begin to push through the skin on my face, his eyes widened as he watched me making me run away as fast as i could 'he saw me! He saw me!!!' My panic never stopped as pain wrecked through my body as the feathers began to push up quicker until i was covered, my clothes no longer existing as they tore with the transformation. I stood before the lake where the second trial took place, the faint sound of running footsteps drew closer making me turn in fear of the person seeing me "C-Celestia?" Dracos eyes were wide with an emotion i couldnt pin point but to me it look like a mix between fear, shock and disgust. "Get away from me!" I screamed as my teeth became fangs, i fell to my knees gasping in agony as the wings tried to break through my back "Tia..." his soft voice seemed closer than before but i moved away from him, "please.... im a monster..... stay away... stay back!" I pleaded only to let out a silent scream of pain as the raven feathered wings shot from my back spreading wide, "your not a monster" the words alone caused me to look at him in surprise but i was even more so as i realised he was infront of me. I fell back in shock only for him to crouch infront of me and help me to sit properly, he cupped my face in his hands being careful of the feathers protruding from my skin "how can i ever see you as a monster when you still look majestic and beautiful?" My breath caught in my throat as he told me that, "...well then i am seriously begining to question your idea of beauty Draco... never had you down as a man into beastiality" his eyes widened a fraction before he glared at me playfully "im trying to be nice here bird brain" i 'winced', the events of what happened began to sink in as i realised.....'Cedrics....dead...' my smile fell, i was drawn into that deceptively wide chest and craddled on his lap where he rocked me softly "i know you and ....Cedric were close" he muttered to me a little bitterly, his hand soothed my hair down and held my head to his chest, his heart was beating fast....it was so soothing i could feel myself being lulled to sleep easily however i had to answer him "we were....he was like the older brother i never had...." "one that kisses you?" His voice held a small edge but he contained however he felt and just held my grotesque form closer. "He didnt kiss me all he did was lean down to wipe away my tears and mascara" he sat still for a moment as i explained the situation from the night of the ball, "Draco.... if one day.... my time comes.... and were still friends ........... can you promise me a place in your house of memories?" "Youll always live there.... and i wont have to worry cause your not going anyway" "you seen how quick life can be take Draco.... just promise me" he was silent for a moment before he finally gave me his promise. I could hear footsteps coming our way and reluctantly parted from the blonde however he refused to let go "Draco ..... they'll see me i have to go" "no.... i want to treasure what ever time i get with you.........can you at least take me with you?" A smile graced my still human face as i heard his heartwarming words and quickly grabbed his hands as we took off into the inky night with my feathers camouflaging us as we flew higher and higher to the observation point. Setting him down i stood beside him just gazing at the stars like we did back at his house those years ago, a soft hand held my clawed one "can i hug you again? .... like at the lake?" He asked sheepishly making my smile widen "....sure" i sat on his lap once again curled up and nesteled into his chest.
