I Shall Wait; A Cutdawn Fanfic

Prologue

I was sixteen. It was my sixteenth birthday. Sixth year of Hogwarts, last day of school... you get the idea.

"Dawn!" Cuthbert ran towards me. I admired his golden hair and gazed happily into his beautiful hazel eyes. He was handsome, no doubt, and I'm sure I looked stupid compared to him. But he never minded. He loved me anyways.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up, kissing me. I smiled against his mouth. Ever since the investigation, I had been his girlfriend. And, truthfully, I had never been happier. 

"Dawn, we need to talk." I pulled back as he set me down. "Is everything okay?" I asked hesitantly. Did he want to break up with me? "No. Everything is not okay," he said. "What do you mean? Cuthbert, you're starting to scare me. Did I do something wrong?" I looked at him. "No," he said gently. "It isn't you." He sighed.

 "My dad wants me to transfer schools. He transferring me to Durmstrang for the rest of my school life. I'm going to leave Hogwarts and never come back. I'm leaving you, and I'm sorry. Believe me, if it were up to me, I wouldn't leave you. But Dad says that I am disgracing the family name by going to Hogwarts. I'm so sorry, Dawn."

I choked.

My eyes teared up and I cried. "It's not true!" I sobbed. "Cuthbert, tell me it's not true!" "Dawn, look at me." I looked up at Cuthbert. "I need you to promise me something. Promise me that you will wait for me. Wait for me to come back for you. I promise, I'll find a way for us to be together again, okay?" I nodded "Promise me?" Cuthbert gazed into my eyes, searching for my word. "I promise, I shall wait for you, for as long as it takes," I said though my tears. He kissed me one last time, and I treasured the feeling of his lips on mine. And with that, he left me possibly forever.
