Let it be • Draco Malfoy

34

Draco was still asleep on the bed as I pulled myself out of his grip and decided to get ready for the day. Once I was dressed, I shut the door over and made my way downstairs, Tonks and Remus were sat at the table, the tea pot freshly topped up. Bill and Fleur were arriving today, their wedding in a few days time. Tonight was the night they'd be going to get Harry. I was nervous, extremely. I poured myself a cup of tea and sat down beside Remus who looked at me nervously. I looked at him in confusion as he looked back to Tonks.

"Eurydice, your uncle and I have something we'd like to tell you." Tonks said, her voice gentle and full of love. She stood up and walked around behind Remus, placing her hands on his shoulders.

"Tonks and I..." Remus sighed to himself, a smile creeping on to his face. "Tonks is pregnant." He told me, looking me straight in the eyes, he looked slightly nervous but that slowly disappeared as tears and a large smile took to my face.

"Oh my goodness! No way, this is amazing!" I yelled, screaming quietly to myself. The sound of a bedroom door spying open and someone rushing downstairs made me turn around as Draco quickly ran into the room, worry in his tired eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked panicking and I looked at him confused, my eyes opened wide as I realised I'd scared him.

"Oh I'm sorry, love, the scream was out of excitement." I told him and he wandered over to a confused look on his face.

"I'm pregnant." She told him, Draco's eyes widened as a smile replaced his scowl.

"Congratulations." She said between Remus and Tonks, the whole interaction making me happier than I could explain.

"Well this is absolutely amazing, I'm so happy, so very happy." I told them, kissing them both on the cheek. "But you have to be careful tonight, promise me you will, please promise me?" I questioned as I looked between them both.

"I promise." Moony said, looking me straight in the eye. I nodded and smiled.

Time passed and the news I received this morning only brightened my day. My worried soon escaped me and I tried my best to contain my excitement. Draco was also very happy, he was nervous about Harry though, I could tell. As everyone was getting sorted to go, I stood in front of Fred and George.

"Now be careful, both of you, if anything happens to either of you. I won't be able to live with myself. Please, listen to me. Be careful." I told them frantically and Fred looked at George.

"God it's like having another mum." He joked and I rolled my eyes. George laughed before looking at me.

"We'll be okay, Mags." He assured me and I nodded. They pulled me into a hug and I laughed as they sandwiched me in the middle. As they pulled away, I looked at Hermione and Ron.

"Don't look at me like that." Ron said and I poured slightly. "It'll be fine, Eurydice. We'll be fine. Stop worrying." He told me and I groaned and nodded.

"Just make sure Helios and George are alright too, I didn't get to see them before they go. Just for the love of god, be safe." I told them both and Hermione laughed and nodded.

"You really are like another, Maggie." She said and I just smirked and rolled my eyes. Waving her off. As everyone made their way outside, I looked at Remus who was already looking at me.

"Be smart." I told him. He nodded, he pressed a kiss to the top of my head before leaving. I shut the door behind him and turned to Molly, Ginny and Draco.

I paced back and forth in my room, Draco watching me. My nerves were through the rough, it's been a while since they left, enough time for something bad to happen.

"Eurydice, please stop pacing, you're giving me a headache." Draco said in annoyance and I groaned and stopped, looking out of the window.

"They should be back by now, god forbid something has happened. Oh Draco, what if something has happened?" I asked, as Draco was about to speak. The sound of a large crash outside made me jump up, I peered out of the window again to see Harry and Hagrid. "Oh my god!" I yelled as I raced down, Harry was sitting on the sofa by the time I got down there and Hagrid was at the table, Draco followed in suit and Harry looked up at me quickly.

"Eurydice." He whispered, immediately jumping up and pulling me into a hug. "I'm so sorry, they pulled you away before I could get to you, I had no idea why to do, every time I tried to cast a spell, Snape blocked it." He said frantically and I spiked and pulled away from the boy, holding his shoulders and making him look me in the eye.

"It's not your fault, Harry. We were both helpless in the moment, but I'm okay. I know you tried your best." I told him. He nodded, looking at me nervously, before his gaze settled behind me on the boy.

"What is he doing here?" He spat, Draco tensed up as Harry's mood immediately changed. I quickly jumped back, standing in front of Draco, Harry looked at me with wide eyes. "What're you doing! He was the one who took you, who took you to his house!" Harry yelled and I shook my head.

"It wasn't Draco, it was Snape. Snape cast a spell on me and he took me with him. Draco helped me out if the house, he got us both out of there." I told and he was about to speak. "And before you say it, no, he isn't scheming against us. He's been living here for weeks now." I told him. Harry flopped back on the sofa in annoyance and immediately sorry took over me.

"Where's Tonks and Remus?" I asked, Molly looked at me with an unsure gaze and my heart sank. I ran outside, standing and waiting. I looked into the sky and waited, after a while, I watched as the people came into sight, my heart shattering as watched a Harry fall into a nearby busy, I raced over, holding the blood soaked body of what looked like my fruend in my arms. As he transformed, it turned out to be George.

"Oh my god, George! Molly!" I yelled panicking as tears flooded down my face, unsure why to do. Around us was just a mess, a catastrophe. Everyone was injured in some way and poor George was without his ear .
