Are You Mister Graves? {Percival Graves x Reader}

Chapter 11

     Hours past and the town was repaired with the No-Majs Obliviated. To the them =, everything was back to normal. Now the Aurors were staying in an abandoned building, planning out possible places the group of dark wizards were hiding and how to surround them. The scenario with Percival and (Y/n) still lingered in everyone's mind as they constantly looked at Percival who had a slight bruise forming on the side of his face from (Y/n)'s punch. He didn't look bothered at all as if nothing had happened between with him and her, even though it kind of troubled him internally. They were having dinner before going out on their search. Percival sat in silence, not eating.

     "You should eat, Graves." Tina says as she puts a plate of food in front of him. He waves her off with a shake of his head.

     "No thank you." He says before standing, "Where's (Y/n) being held, Tina?" She looks up at him in slight surprise.

     "She's being kept in the room upstairs to the left. Why?" Percival doesn't answer as he walks off and upstairs. Tina watches him walk off before sighing slightly with a shake of her head. Percival gets to (Y/n)'s room and knocks on her door.

     "(Y/n)?" No answer and he sighs, "I know you don't want to talk to me right now but I just want to apologize for earlier. I shouldn't have been bothering you like that. It was wrong of me." There was no response and he furrows his eyebrows slightly. He places his hand on the doorknob before freezing slightly, there was something wrong. Something didn't feel right. He opens the door only to see a dark and cold room. The cuffs laid broken on the ground. He walks into the room cautiously and feels a cold breeze. He walks over the window to see it broken open, he looks out of it as the cold wind blew. "That idiot." He says as he quickly walks out of the room and downstairs.

~+~

     (Y/n) ran through the streets as fast as she can, wand in hand. Looking behind her occasionally in case they were chasing after her to take her back.

~+~

     "We need to go right now." He tells everyone as he grabs his scarf and coat, putting them on. Everyone looks confused.

     "What's the matter?" Tina asks with concern written on her face.

     "(Y/n)'s gone. I believe she went to find them and take care of them herself. So everyone hurry up and lets go." He says. Everyone's eyes widened and they quickly got ready.

~+~

     As she ran, possible hiding places ran through her head. Then it hit her, the woods. (Y/n) started to run even faster. She had a strong feeling within her that the woods was the very possible choice.

~+~

     Everyone walked outside with wands in their hands. "Remember our plan. Half of us stay here and protect the people. Everyone else, come with me." Percival says as he Disapparated.

~+~

     (Y/n) took an immediate stop as she stood in front of the woods. The moon shined as the cold wind blew. She looked at the woods with great doubt and slight fear. "No... You can do this..." She says, self-motivating herself as she ran into the dark woods.

~+~

     They Apparated at the center of town. "Everyone, split up in groups and search every spot and cranny. We need to either find the group before (Y/n) does or find (Y/n) before they do. (Y/n) is in grave danger. Now go!" Percival orders before each of group of Aurors Disapparated. Some stayed with him along with Tina before they Disapparated.

~+~

     (Y/n) tore through the branches of the trees, going deeper and deeper into the woods. "Lumos..." She says as the tip of her wand glowed a white light so she could see her surroundings. She then gets to an open area that was surrounded in trees and (Y/n) stops, panting. She looked around at her surroundings as she held out her wand so she could see what's around her.

     "Hello there..." Says a deep male voice. The sudden voice makes (Y/n) jump in fright as she spun around to see where the voice came from. A silhouette of a man leaning against a tree started to become visible as the moon shined when a cloud moved away from it.

     "W-Who's there?" (Y/n) says as she tried to not show fear and held her wand out, ready for an attack, "Show yourself!" The man chuckles that sent shivers up her spine.

     "Alright. Anything for the lady." He says as he started to step out until he was under the moonlight. A young man, in his early to mid twenties stood a couple of feet away from her. Wearing a grey vest and trousers and a coat like Percival's, finger less gloves on his hands and black shoes. He had sharp and charming features. His hair was jet black in a slicked back undercut style, and neatly combed down. Almost like Percival's hair. His sky blue eyes shined under the moonlight and smile was charming and almost sincere. (Y/n)'s eyes widen in slight shock and fear. "Did I frighten you? I'm awfully sorry, I didn't mean to." He apologizes with a smile. She continued to stare a him with disbelief with the lingering fear.

     "E-Eddie...?" (Y/n) whispers.

~+~

     Percival looked everywhere but he couldn't seem to find (Y/n) and neither could anyone else. He started to dreadfully worry internally as he was thinking of places you could have possibly went. Then it clicked when he realized the one place they didn't check yet. "The woods...." he said and that's where they started to head.

~+~

     "That's me." He says as his eyes scanned her, "We've met before... Haven't we? I know I've seen your face." Eddie says with a chuckle as he took slow steps towards her. (Y/n) cautiously took a few steps back.

     "S-Stay back!" She says as she cursed herself for stuttering and continued to point her wand at him. He puts his hands up slightly in surrender with a smirk.

     "Oh, come on. There's no need to be afraid of me," He says with a small laugh before adding with a playful coo as he slowly and gently put her wand down when he got close to her, "Darling~."

~+~

     They arrive at the foot of the woods and looked at it for a moment before he turns to one of the Aurors, "Bring those searching in town here. I have a strong feeling she's here." He says as the Auror nods and she Disapparated.

~+~

     "This can't be... You died! You were killed!" (Y/n) says, "You can't be him." She whispers as he put her wand up at his neck. He smirks and gently put her wand down once again.

     "Well, I survived."

     "How can someone survive one of the most unforgivable curses? That's impossible!"

     "Nothing is impossible unless you believe it's possible." Eddie gently takes one of her hands and places it on his chest, over his heart, "Do you feel that?" He asks softly. (Y/n) nods. "That's my heartbeat. My actual... Beating heart." He says as he places her hand on the side of his face. "Do you still believe I'm dead?"

     "... No..." (Y/n) says softly with tears brimming her eyes before she wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug. Eddie wraps his arms around her and held her close as she softly sobbed. He rubbed her back soothingly as he pressed kisses softly on the top of her head while running his fingers through her hair.

     "I'm here now... No need to shed tears, love... I just hate it when I see you cry, it pains me..." He says in a comforting tone. She hugs him tighter at his words as a smirk grew on his lips. 'You won't slip through my fingers... Because I got you just where I wanted you...'
