Beauty || Draco X Reader [Harry Potter + Disney | Book #1] (Finished)

17 ~ then you must go to him

Thank you guys for the 15K!!

-

Draco took you out to the balcony. You looked over the beautiful garden. You never knew Draco could dance like that.

'I haven't danced in years.' Draco sighed.

You grinned lightly.

'I had almost forgotten this feeling.' Draco smiled.

It was quiet for awhile and you looked at the night sky filled with stars. Draco looked inside and then back at you.. inside again and then back at you.

'It's foolish, I suppose, for a person like me to hope.. that one day earn your affection.'

You looked at him. His hair almost blend in with the snow and his face was partly lit by the moonlight.

'I don't know..'  You said.

'Really?' Draco asked. 'Does that mean that you could be happy here?' He asked, his eyes filled with hope.

Draco cared for you deeply. You could see that.. You cared for him too. But this wasn't healthy..

'Can anybody be happy if they aren't free?' You asked.

The smile on Draco's face faded and he looked away from you. You sighed and looked back forwards.

'My father thought me to dance.' You said to break the silence.

Draco looked at you.

'I used to step on his toes a lot.'

Draco thought about his own parents. They might not have been the best parents but he really missed them.

'You must really miss him..' He said.

You looked at him and swallowed.

'Very much.' You said.

Draco looked at the floor again. He felt horrible. But then he looked up, his eyes brightened.

'Would you like to see him?' He asked.

You looked at him in disbelieve.

'What?' You asked.

'Would you like to see him?'

You smiled and nodded. Draco walked back into the ballroom and you followed him. He took you towards his room. You glanced at the rose.. I didn't have much peddles left. Draco grabbed a mirror and handed it to you. You looked at it.

'I.. I'd like to see my father.' You spoke.

The mirror changed at you saw your father. He was being captured by two men! He was struggling to break free but it didn't seem to work. You gasped and tears came up in your eyes.

'Papa..' You spoke while your voice broke.

Draco looked at you in shock.

'What are they doing to him?!' You spoke in panic. 'He.. he's in trouble.'

Draco looked away from you. He had to let you go. He wanted to you to go to him. He wanted you to be happy. He never care so much about someone.

'Then you must go to him..' He spoke.

You looked at him. Leave Draco.. some part of you didn't want to leave Draco.

'What did you say?' You asked.

Draco turned to you.

'You must go to him.. no time to waste.'

Your mind couldn't process this sudden change. You breathed heavily. You stepped forwards and handed him to mirror.

'No.. keep it with you.' 

He looked into your eyes and a small sad smile crossed his face.

'Then you always have a way to look back on me..'

You stepped back a bit. Draco saw the confusion and doubt in your eyes.

'Thank you..' You said.

You took a few steps forwards. You then turned back and looked at Draco, hoping that he might go with you.. hoping he'd want you to come back. But he didn't say anything. You turned around and started running.

Draco stepped forwards, hoping to catch a final glimps of you. He sighed.

You ran down the stairs and walked towards the door. You glanced at the coat reck. He bowed down to you and you bowed back. You glanced to the top of the stairs and saw misses pots. You stepped back and ran outside.

Draco was walking through his room. Glancing at the rose.

'Master, I have no doubts, everything is moving like clock work! True love really does win the day!' Cogsworth smiled.

Lumière, chip and Plumette came in as well. Draco turned to them and shook his head.

'I-I let her go.'

'You did what?!' Cogsworth asked.

'Master.. why would you do that?' Lumière asked.

'I had too..'

Misses Potts came in.

'But why?' Cogsworth asked

'Because he loves her..' Misses potts said.

Draco looked away. Was he in love? Did he truly love you?

'Then..  why are we not human?' Lumière wondered.

'Because she doesn't love him.. and now it's too late.' Cogsworth sighed.

'But.. she might still come back.' Plumette spoke.

'No.. I set her free. I'm sorry I couldn't do the same for all of you.. now go. Our time is almost past.'

They all sighed and turned around and walked away. Draco felt horrible. He couldn't help the people that had been there for him through this curse.. at least he could set you free. At least he knew that you would live your life and be happy.

Draco realised at that moment he had everything.. He never thought he would need anyone in his life. Now he did realise it and it was all too late.

He walked towards the balcony and saw you leave. You rode your horse through the gates. Draco sighed in frustration and hit his hand against the barrier of the balcony.

Now you were really gone.. He stepped back and blinked a few times. Malfoy's don't cry. He still believed that.

'Master..' He heard chip say.

Draco looked up and saw chip and misses potts.

'I told you to go..' He said.

'We know.. we just wanted to see if you're okay.'

'I'm fine. You two should prepare.'

'You really love her.. don't you?'

'You know..  I do.. okay? I love her.. But she doesn't love me. She'll never come back to me. Now go prepare..  I just want to be alone.'

They sighed and left again. Draco sighed and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe this. He just lost the love of his life. He didn't have anything anymore. No parents.. No friends.. no family.. no love.. nothing.

Maybe it was a good thing that the last peddle would fall soon.. He had no one anyways. He sighed and wondered if you were okay.. and your father.
