Elizabeth Diggory -Draco Malfoy Love Story

19-The letter

I woke up with someone shaking me, "Love, wake up" It was Draco. I immediately sat up and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

"I thought you— DRACO YOU'RE BLEEDING" he chuckled

"Oh uh yes, about that..... it's you're mum Lizzy." He looked like he was going to cry when he mentioned my mum.

"I—I did everything... but nothing seemed to work." I furrowed my eyebrows looking at him in confusion.

"S-she was trying to save me f—from the dagger one of the death eater threw towards me. She pushed me away and the dagger went through her heart...."

I burst into tears and Draco embraced me into a hug then gave me a picture.

It was my mother holding a baby. Me then I flipped it over it revealed a letter for me.

To my Dear Elizabeth,

I know this is a difficult for you to accept me, but I just wanted you to know that I love you and I know that you care about Jo very much, and that's what hurts me the most. That you grew up not knowing your real mother.The truth is, I don't want you to grow up looking at me torturing innocent people . I've been stuck in one place. In a cave, you might say. A deep, dark cave. And then I heard about your arrival years later . For the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you. Like you're pulling away from me or something. I miss telling bedtime stories with you every night, making sand castles till sunset , watching muggle TV together before we doze off.

But I know you're getting older, growing, changing. I guess, if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try and make stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving, always moving, whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes, it's surprising. Happy.

So you know what? Keep on growing up sweetie. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em. When life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave.

I see you and Draco getting closer and I like that. He always reminds me of you back in the days, and please if ever you two get married because I reckon you guys will.

Remember the advice I gave you. I know someday, you will graduate from hogwarts and start a new life.

You will have kids and you will understand why I sacrificed my life for Draco and Yours.

This will and here, and remember have courage and be kind.

So long, Elizabeth.
