Dragon's Promise

Chapter 18

EDITED

Harry's P.O.V

BOOM

An explosion rattled the windows and I bolted upright. 

BOOM

"Draco! Wake up!" I shook him until he was awake. "Wha-" BOOM! He sat up and looked at me. I nodded. The war had started. 

We got up and dressed quickly, grabbing our wands and racing out of our room and down to the great hall. The older students were gathering to fight and teachers were off herding the second and first years into the dungeons. People were yelling and screaming and explosions echoed through the halls. 

Draco squeezed my hand and gave me a slow passionate kiss before leading me outside to face the legions of death eaters that were streaming from the hills. 

"I love you Dragon."

"I love you Raven, lets finish this."

And with that we stepped out into the battle. We fought side by side, back to back, taking down death eaters left and right. We were doing fine until I noticed a death eater sneaking up on Draco from behind. Rage boiled up inside me and I let loose a roar. Fire exploded from my palms and the death eater burst into ashes. Draco looked over in surprise and shot a killing curse at a death eater on my right. I shot him a smile and turned around to continue the fight. I slowly moved away from Draco so we became separated by the hordes of students and villains. 

I heard a roar and looked up to see a blue dragon soaring above the battle, turning any death eaters in the way to ashes and dust. Draco? I listened and knew for sure. It was Draco. We could turn into full dragons. 

That means that I can too. 

Concentrating and closing my eyes I focused on the dragon inside of me, letting out a scream of pain as my body transformed. Flames licked my form as I leapt into the air. Large powerful wings beat the air as the fire dissipated from my body. I let out a loud roar that shook the air around me and drew the attention of the death eaters to me. They were stunned for a moment before raising their wands and shooting killing spells at me.

The curses bounced of my pearly white scales and flew at random people below. I blew flames from my mouth and smoke curled from my nostrils. I could feel anger begin to overtake me but I kept it in check although I wouldn't be able to hold this form for too long before I lose control. After what seemed like forever of burning death eaters to a crisp I touched down and killed the death eaters around me. I changed back to human form and ran towards the forbidden forest where I had spotted Voldemort. 

There he was, standing in the middle of a small clearing. He looked up and grinned. 

"Harry, how nice of you to join us. I saw you had some dragons on your side. Tut Tut that's cheating Potter." Good, he doesn't know they're us. I raised my wand and he did the same. 

"Avada Kedavra!" We yelled in unison as the light from our wands hit each other and connected. 

"You cannot win Harry. Give up." He sneered and I slowly lowered the intensity of my curse so that it looked as If I was getting tired. Voldemort cackled and walked slowly towards me. I finally lrt go and the spell hit me flush in the chest. My body convulsed and then everything went dark. The last thing I heard was Voldemort's horrible laugh echoing in my ears.

Draco's P.O.V

All of a sudden I felt a sharp jab of pain and saw a flash of green light. Harry. He was dead, I mean for awhile but it still hurt. The death eaters stopped fighting and herded everyone together to announce their victory. I watched as Hagrid carried Harry's lifeless, limp body from the woods and set it down on the grass. I stared at him for a while before looking to my father, who stood by the side of the dark lord. I glared at him, anger growing in my stomach, threatening to explode in a mess of flames and destruction. I took a deep breath and walked slowly towards him. 

"Hello father."

"Draco. Are you here to rejoin us?"

"No. I'm here to tell you something."

"And that is?"

"That I'm engaged to Harry James Potter, the love of my life." With that I raised my wand and aimed it at him. 

"Sectum semphra."

His eyes widened as he fell to the ground, blood pooling around his body. 

"Goodbye father." 

I turned away and ran to Harry's side. I pressed my lips against his and we slowly started to glow. I heard yelling and cries of defeat from the death eaters but I was only focused on Harry. His eyes fluttered open and he gulped for air. "It's okay Raven. I'm here, it's over and we're safe now." He grinned weakly and I helped him stand. We looked over to Hermione and Ron who were approaching us. "What happened?" He asked them. "Neville killed Voldemort. Snuck up behind him and ran him through with the sword of Gryffindor." Ron explained in awe. Harry smiled even wider. Neville did that? I have newfound respect for that boy. A true Gryffindor.

"Draco did you really kill your father with the sectum semphra curse?" Hermione asked and Harry looked at me in shock. "Dragon did you? Did you kill your father?" He whispered. "He was no father of mine." I replied coldly. It was the truth. He wasn't.

"But you killed him?" 

"Yes." 

Harry's eyes brimmed with tears and he let go of my hand he had been holding. "Do have any idea how lucky you were to even have parents? And you just threw one of them away like he was nothing!" He yelled. 

"He was nothing! He didn't love me! He hated me!" I screamed back. Harry backed away, his eyes wide and filled with hurt. 

"At least you had a father. I never did." 

"Harry wait!" I yelled after him but he kept walking away. 

"Wait..."
