Bet | Draco Malfoy Fanfic🍏 [Completed]

Complicated

Krystal's POV

Days and days have passed of Draco ignoring me. It was making me sad and doubting this relationship. I've always wondered where he's going to. He's always rushing everywhere. I was extremely curious.

I was walking back and forth in my dorm, debating whether I should follow him or not. I mean I wanted to know. And I overheard him saying he's going to the Astronomy tower tonight at a particular time. It was really late at night right now.

After a few minutes of thinking I decided I should do it. Curiosity got the better of me. And so I fled to the Astronomy tower. No one was there yet, I was early. I hid under the stairs of the tower, waiting for him to appear and see what he does.

I waited for a while until I saw Harry and a weak looking Dumbledore apparate to the tower, I was shocked. I widened my eyes. Isn't that restricted? But I was more focused at Dumbledore's state. He looked pained. "Get Severus!" I heard Dumbledore command.  I didn't know what do at the moment. Should I come out and help or would that make things worse? My mind rushed through its thoughts in sole panic. And my mind stopped functioning when I saw Draco. He held his wand and pointed right to Dumbledore. My heart stopped beating. "I have to do this!" He yelled.

Is he going to kill Dumbledore?!

I instantly panicked. What the hell is he doing?! Soon, Harry was beside me. He seemed surprised at my presence. "What are you doing here?!" He whispered. "I was just wondering where he usually goes to! I didn't expect this!" I frantically whispered back.

And then, death eaters appeared behind Draco. Including Bellatrix. And Draco was on her side and not on Dumbledore's.

What has gotten into him?!

Draco was close, so close to killing Dumbledore and I couldn't just watch.

I immediately ran upstairs and stepped infront of Dumbledore. Draco was surprised for sure. "K-Krystal?! What are you doing here?!" He exclaimed. "I should be asking you the same thing! What do you think you're doing, Draco?!" I responded with panic. "I-I have to do this! T-they're gonna hurt you if not!" He cried.

Huh?!

"Whatever you're doing, stop! Lower your wand, Draco! This isn't right!" I yelled. "No! Unless you want to see her die right infront of you Draco, you do not lower your wand!" Bellatrix hissed. "DO IT!" She screamed. "N-no! Draco, don't! I'll never forgive you if you cast that killing spell on Dumbledore!" I screamed back. I needed him to lower that wand, but he isn't doing it. I needed what to persuade him to stop. But nothing came to my mind anymore. It was just me and my pure accelerating heart beat.

I took out my wand as well. "Stop Draco!" I yelled. I didn't want to hurt him but if its needed to prevent him from killing the most powerful wizard and possibly the only one able to kill Voldemort, than it should be done. "There's another way to resolve this! Stop!" I exclaimed, my wand pointed back at him. "No! JUST DO IT, DRACO!" Bellatrix shrieked, impatient and mad now.

But before anything could happen, a spell shoved me out of the way and I could hear an 'Avada Kedavra'. But, oddly it wasn't Draco's voice, nor was it Bellatrix's. It sounded familiar, but I couldn't pinpoint it until I finally opened my eyes. It was Snape.

My mouth flew open. I didn't expect him, a professor, to be the one murdered Dumbledore. And that realization hit me. Dumbledore!!

Me and Harry (who had appeared into view) approached Dumbledore's corpse. I started tearing up.

How could this have happened?!

We just lost our headmaster. A savior. An extremely important, wise, and powerful wizard. A slot to end Voldemort.

I could see Harry running after Snape and getting full blown mad. I could see them fight. I stayed with Dumbledore's corpse. I froze. I felt I couldn't feel anything. I was too shocked to feel anything. It was way too difficult to process everything. Digesting the facts that lied infront of me seemed unreal. It's a nightmare, right?!

I felt someone's presence beside me. I tilted my head to see who it was. Draco.

He edged his thumb closer to my face and wiped my tears. "Please don't cry...Krystal", he whispered, barely audible. I didn't know what to feel. Should I be mad at him? Disappointed?

"Why'd you almost do that, Draco? You would've been a murderer!" I said. "Look...they were blackmailing me. They said they'd hurt you if I didn't. What was I supposed to do?! Just let you die in the hands of someone like Bellatrix?!" He replied. There was a long pause. I was lost in thought, thinking everything through. "I...it's fine. I should understand where you're coming from. But...I need some time", I said, facing him. He nodded in understatement. But I knew he was sad, it was obvious. Even without looking, the aura he gave off defined sadness.

TIME SKIP

We all raised our wands. For Dumbledore.

Yet again another one killed in the Hogwarts grounds.

Everyone was speechless at what they saw, their dead headmaster lying right before their eyes. Grief and anxiety filled everyone. We were all mourning in the inside. Myself included. Everything is complicated. Ever since Voldemort appeared, everything became more complicated. Life was harder now. It's harder to bear now. Confusion and never ending anxiety filled everyone's hearts and minds all the time. Complicated feelings burst inside of you. It feels painful. We keep losing people all around us. 'When will it end?' Is still an unanswered question.

My hands are shaking as I raise my wand. It's too much for one to handle.

I felt Draco's hand placed on my back, comforting me. I wanted to give him a faint smile. But there wasn't anything to smile about. Snape. Snape. He killed Dumbledore. He's probably an apprentice to Voldemort once again.

A true Slytherin. So unloyal and untrustworthy. Will stab you in the back. A snake.
