Before Your Very Eyes || Draco Malfoy

"I can't believe it's all come down to this." I sigh.
"Neither can I."
"We've been through four years if pain for it all to come down to one day."
"I know." he replies bluntly.
"Do you ever think we could have changed it?"
"No."

I turn over to look at him. He blankly stares at the ceiling almost as if he isn't actually here. I cuddle into him slightly and he retreats from his space. I look at him with furrowed brows, expression laced with confusion. I try to wrap my arms around him but he shrugs them off.

"Are you ok?" I ask hesitantly.
"Promise me... promise me that you'll stay alive tomorrow. No matter what happens. Please." he begs.
"You sound as if you're dying. You're not. If I stay alive, so do you." I persist.
"But if anything does happen... promise me you won't intervene. Don't defend me. Don't protect me. Just look away. I don't want you getting hurt." he says.
"I'm not promising that Draco."
"Just do it Y/N!" he begs.

I sit up abruptly and turn his head so that he is looking me in the eyes.

"You aren't going anywhere. I'm not letting you join his side. I won't watch you throw your life away without a fight." I tell him straight.
"But what if it does-"
"No!" I cut him off.

Silence.

"I love you Y/N Nightshade. I have for four years and I always will." he states.
"I love you too Draco Malfoy. Please don't forget that."
"We'll stick together through it all. Ok?" Draco mumbles.
"Ok." I respond as I wrap my arms around him.

We lay there in the grand bed as we both wish we were somewhere else. Wishing we were someone else. Wishing we could stop the chaos that was about to unfold. Wishing we knew what would come first.

"Don't be stupid tomorrow Malfoy." I order.
"I won't if you won't Nightshade."
"Seriously Draco. You can't leave me alone in this mess" I plead.
"I'll try my best Y/N"
"Draco." I frown.
"I can't promise that I won't. But I can promise that I'll try." He compromises.
"Draco!" I yell.
"I'm sorry." he replies as he turns his back against me.

No more words are said and we both lay there awake, worrying about what was to come the next day.

*next day*

"Harry Potter! Is dead!" the Dark Lord shouts towards the crowd.

There are a chorus of loud gasps throughout the crowd. People don't know what to do. I stand frozen, grasping onto Draco's hand.

"Join me... or die!" the Dark Lord yells his advice.

Draco goes to step forward but I pull him backwards harshly. I gave him a stern look but he pleads with his eyes, begging me to let him go.

"Please don't do this." I plead.
"I have to... to protect you." he says as he takes a step forward.
"Ahh Draco of course. Come my child." Voldemort encourages.
"No!" I yell, "You can't do this!"
"Leave it Y/N!" Draco shouts at me.

He walks further towards Voldemort, slowly abandoning me.

"No. I won't let you do this! You can't throw away your life just because your parents did!" I try to reason with him.
"It's the only way for me to ensure that you are safe," he says as he reaches the Dark Lord, "Don't you understand that!"
"I don't need your protection! I'm not weak! I can protect myself. You don't have to do this. for once in your life Draco, let go of your pride and just listen!" I scream at him as I begin to sob.
"I'm sorry." he replies.

Draco reunites with his parents. He made his choice.

"Care to join your loving boyfriend Miss Nightshade?" Voldemort taunts.
"No." I reply bluntly.
"I strongly suggest you do." Voldemort tells me through gritted teeth.
