Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Five

Chapter fifteen - Sirius' Family Tree

Y/n pov

You had many thoughts running through your head that you hadn't noticed when your name was called.

"Y/n." you were in your thoughts that you didn't respond. "Y/n!" Molly said louder you didn't move your flinch you just sat there staring at your hands.

"Molly, I'll make sure she gets up, just take Harry." Remus said.

"Oh, all right. Harry lets go." You heard the chair move and you stopped Harry and Mrs. Weasley looked at you disapprovingly. He was standing and your hand on his sleeve.

"Y/n are you okay?" Harry asked.

"I need to talk to Harry first." You told Molly, she looked at Remus who nodded and Molly left upstairs. You stood and leaned on your chair.

"Harry, Sirius, I failed both of you." You said looking at them.

"Failed?" Harry asked you looked at him.

"I had vowed to keep you safe Harry, and you were not and if I had left you and Cedric back there and just taken the cup for myself it would just have been me." You told him, your head in your hands.

"Y/n, you took more pain then I could have ever, I mean, that one curse he cast, I thought you were de-"

"I know." You said quickly. "But I let him get to you. If I had been stronger or faster-"

"You couldn't walk. You could barley stand, hardly breathe and you still saved my life." Harry said.

"Because of my actions you were tortured, almost killed!" You pointed out.

"Tortured? Me? Yeah it hurt but look at you! You couldn't speak and still tried as long as I was kept from harms way. You put your life on the line in front of me." He remined you.

"I almost got you killed." You said.

"Without your help I would've been." Harry said you looked at him and could tell he wasn't lying to you, this is what he thought.

"..."

"Don't think that you caused this, or that you failed me or Sirius." Harry said. You looked at Sirius.

"I promised you both I'd keep you safe." You said looking at Harry then to Sirius.

"Y/n, Harry is alive." Sirius said his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Yes, due to himself, if I had taken the cup myself then-"

"Then you'd be dying slowly." Remus added.

"But Cedric would be here, and Voldemort would not have been created because he would only have some of the ingredients for the potion, and my father would be alive." You tell him.

"And what if Harry kept running to the cup while you stayed behind to help Cedric?" Sirius suggested.

"Then..." You paused, Voldemort would still be back.

"Then I'd not only be dead, Voldemort would be back." Harry said and you felt like a failure, you helped Harry to the cup.

"You'd live if it was just you." You said trusting Harry's instincts.

"You couldn't stop this, we can't change this." Harry said gently.

"I failed to keep you safe." You muttered.

"And I failed to keep you safe! The only difference is I didn't promise it." Harry said sternly. "You were nearly tortured to death, all to save me. You are not to blame."
