It's okay, Draco

|𝟏𝟔|

The sound of Snape's footsteps make my heart pound harder. What if he founds out? What if the polyjuice potion's wear out and revealed our faces? Harry notice me being anxious, so he grabbed my right hand and grip it gently,calming me down. Somehow it didn't work well.

When I start to think of Snape, I start to think about the death eaters, which leads to Draco. God, I miss him so much. Trying to hold back my tears and pain, I grip Harry's hand in return tightly. I continue to stare at the ground, letting the tears fall silently to the ground.

Eventually, Snape went in front of everyone in the Great Hall, "Many of you are surely wondering why I've summoned you in this hour. It's come in to my attention, earlier this evening, Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade,"When the name was said, every students in the Great Hall start to whisper, "Now, should anyone, student or staff attempt to aid Mr.Potter, they will be punished. In a manner consistent with the sovereignty of their transgression furthermore, any person who have found any knowledge of this events, who fails to come forward will be treated as equally guilty. Now then, if anyone here has any knowledge of Mr. Potter movement this evening, I invite them to step forward. Now" Snape's voice's echoed through the Greaty Hall while all of us stayed silent.

Just then, I noticed my hands and Harry's was starting to shift. That's when I knew the potion was wearing off. I look up to Harry and send a wide eye glare, warning him about the potion. He look down at out entwined hands and tenses up. He slowly let go of my hand, and that's when i saw his face again, he gave me a hopeful face and suddenly push me aside to make way at the end of the side line. I gasp and tried to follow him but everyone was already cramming up to see Harry's face as they all gasp in unison. Everyone was now looking at the commotion.

Somehow, I managed to get to his side as he made eye contact with the new headmaster, Snape, "It seems despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a little bit of security problems,"

Suddenly the entrance door open up and there I saw The Order of the Phoenix walk in, "I'm afraid it's quite extensive. How dare you stand where he stood? Tell them how it happened that night! Tell them how you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you, and kills him. Tell them"

Snape's face doesn't move an inch with emotion. Though, his eyes looks so remorseful. However, he unexpectedly pull out his wand and points it at Harry. Everyone gasp and start to disperse to the sides as Professor McGonagall step up in front of Harry and me. When she points her wand at Snape, Snape looks taken aback for a moment but continue to point at her. McGonagall was the first one to cast a spell at him but he deflects it, his face void with any emotion. McGonagall's face on the other hand, twitched in anger as Snape continues to deflect any of her offensive spell at him, causing the other two death eaters behind him got killed with it.

Snape knew he wouldn't be safe in there anymore so he fled using black smoke around him and went out of the Great Hall, crashing through a window onto the outside. Never to be seen again after.

Students instantaneously clap and cheer as McGonagall light up the fire in the Great Hall again. Everybody was happy except me and Harry, we knew this wasn't over yet. Voldemort was coming and we must be ready for it.

Nevertheless, our celebrations was short lived. Harry fell to the ground beside me, I immediately went to his side helping him. His hand was held up to his scar, his eyes stare some far off place, sweat beads forming on his forehead. i start to shake him lightly on the shoulders, he then came into reality and looks at McGonagall, whom's face is worried, "He's coming"

McGonagall instantly went to the front of the Great Hall, taking Snape's place before, "We all knew this day would come, Slughorn, take the children that does not wish to fight to fight to the dungeon, the rest..." she trails off while I help Harry stand up beside me.

"You okay?" I asked, he only nods and gulp, avoiding my gaze. I forced a smile and pat him on the shoulder soothingly. He relaxes under my touch. Normally, I would say something motivational, but right now, I can't even think straight. I kept thinking about him only.

Draco.. Is he okay right now? Did the dark lord do something terrible to him? Perhaps, his pare-

No! Get it together (y/n)!

I pull my left hand to my side and clench it, knuckles turning white, I was about to cry again, why am I crying? Am I such a crybaby? Am I that weak? Do I miss him that much?? I feel useless right now, I needed to get out, I need some air.

I walk and walk through corridors, thinking about other things than him. Students rush at both my sides trying to get to safety. The weather was starting to get colder, so I stuff my hands in my pockets and bit my bottom lip that started to quiver.

Moments passed, eventually I went to the seventh floor. Far away, I saw something moving, it was Harry! Then the Room of Requirement's entrance appeared. He enter as i acth and follow him from afar. I walk past the area of the door three times, thinking of what I need. Then the door appears and I walk in.

Minutes passed until I found Harry looking at one of the junks,

"What are you doing, Harry?" he look up at me and smiled,

"I found it" my eyes widen at his words, cannot believing it. I rush to his side and see the diadem in front of me. I gasp and squeal in delight, I turn to Harry and immediately hug him tightly, relieved that we're one step closer to end this thing. He tenses up but eventually hold me closer, we stood there until,

"Well, well, what brings you here, Potter?"
