Dragon's Promise

Chapter 19

EDITED

Draco's P.O.V

"Draco you have to talk him. I know how hard this is but he won't understand unless you talk to him." My mother said, putting her hand on my shoulder. 

I looked into her eyes and knew it was true. I needed to find Harry. I nodded to her and walked away, twisting my ring nervously. It had officially been three days since we were engaged. I walked for hours until I realized something. Harry always went flying when he was upset. I started to sprint, waiting until the last second to change into my dragon form and leap into the air. It didn't hurt as much this time, but the first time I did it it hurt like hell. My large sensitive eyes roamed the grounds until I spotted him where we flew to the night we fell asleep and were late for class.

Switching so that I was human, but still had my wings, I flew quickly over the lake and landed softly behind him. Harry's back was to me and he hadn't seen me coming. 

"Raven?" I spoke softly. I looked at his left hand and noticed that he was still wearing his ring. Good. He turned slowly to face me, tear tracks staining his face. 

"Why did you do it, Malfoy? You had a chance at a family and you murdered half of it." Malfoy. That stung more than it used to. 

"He was no father of mine. I know that this upsets you, but he wouldn't have changed. When I came back from the dead after my suicide I went to see him. He wasn't even sad that I was dead. I thought that maybe after my death that maybe he would see reason and leave the dark lord but he didn't, he was disappointed that I was alive." Tears formed in my eyes as I said this. 

"I'm sorry Draco, I-I didn't know." Harry whispered. He walked to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"But you still made me see that even though he did bad things he didn't deserve to die. Not yet anyways." I said into his hair, tears rolling slowly down my cheeks. 

"I'm still taller than you." I sniffed with a chuckle. Harry poked me in the ribs and looked at me with a fake stern face. I giggled and his face broke out into a smile. He stood up on his tippy toes and kissed me softly on the lips, I wrapped my arms around his middle and lifted him up off the ground slightly to deepen the kiss. We finally broke away and he grinned.

"You know that no matter what I will love you right?" He spoke and I nodded. "And I you. Now, when are we having this wedding?" 

"How about this fall?" He suggested. 

"Sounds perfect."

Harry's P.O.V

A fall wedding. It was going to be perfect. No Voldemort to worry about. For once in my life I was free of responsibility. We would be done school and me and Draco would be healers. I had decided that I would rather heal than fight. Especially once we had a kid. We decided that we would have a surrogate mother who looked like one of us. 

I still didn't completely comprehend why Draco had to kill his father but I trusted him so I didn't bring it up. 

"Harry! What's this I hear about a wedding?" Molly Weasley bustled towards me, Fred, George, Ron and Hermione trailing behind her. (A/N I couldn't go along with killing off Fred that's just cruel) "Uh yeah, me and Draco are engaged." I said, surprised she found out so fast. "You and Draco? Well, when is it?" She asked, putting an arm around me. "Fall." She nodded and continued. "And where are you going to have it?"

"At a lake."

"Lovely. Now come on, we're all going back to the burrow for dinner. Draco you are welcome to join us." Molly said, leading us towards the castle. 

We had left the island before running into Molly. I looked over at Draco and he nodded. He held out his hand and I took it. 

"When we get back to pack up our stuff do you want to finish the last few episodes of Sherlock?" I suggested. "Yeah, that would be nice." 

We apperated together to the burrow and joined everyone at the table. Baby Teddy was there to, sitting in a cradle. 

"Where are Remus and Tonks?" I asked and everyone stared at me. Molly's eyes filled with tears and Arthur rubbed her back. Fred looked over at us with a sad expression on his face. 

"Harry, they were killed in battle. We were planning on opening the wills tonight. Did no one tell you?" I shook my head as a rushing sound filled my ears. Remus and Tonks were dead. Draco wrapped his arms around me and I buried my face in his chest. Sobs wracked my body as Draco held me close. 

After a while I felt him pick me up and carry me to our room we would be staying in. He lowered me into the bed and crawled in next to me. We didn't speak, Draco just ran his fingers through my hair and held me to his chest as I cried. 

Finally I drifted off to sleep, the last thing I remembered before I slept was Draco gently kissing me on my forehead. 

Hey my dudes! I kept Fred in there but I couldn't also save Remus and Tonks, so I'm sorry but that would be way to easy.
