coconuts and strawberries | draco malfoy

69

you wake up in an unrecognised room, your vision blurry. you rub your eyes and look around, not recognising where you are. you try to move but you're tied up to a pole which pulls you back. "what the..."

someone gasps, "she's awake! she's awake, she's awake, she's awake!" she sings. you look over to see Bellatrix who is now sitting in front of you, her wand lifting your chin to look at her.

"goodmorning princess, how was your sleep?" "where am i? why am i tied up, where's Harry?" "They're gone" "gone? what do you mean gone?" "they all think you're dead" she says, using her wand to play with the front few strands of your hair.

"we are planning a big comeback, we have to kill Harry after all, they think you're dead so they're probably crying somewhere" "draco..." you whisper.

"ah yes, shame that my sissy is a traitor. i should've known, Lucius is a coward and was never good for her" "is draco okay?" "aside from his mother betraying us? probably not, weren't you two like epic high school loves? and now he's mourning your death?"

"i have to let him know i'm okay..." "that's not gonna happen little miss cute face, we're keeping you here for now until we find my sister and kill that entire family, and then we go back to hogwarts to fight, to win this once and for all"

"you'd really kill your sister and nephew? that's how low you are?" "they betrayed the dark lord, they're no longer my family" "so you kill your cousin and now your only family left? all for someone who would kill you in an instant if it meant he could get what he wants?"

"do not speak of the dark lord that way!" "what, the truth? you're nothing to him, he'd bleed you dry and leave you in a ditch if it meant he could kill Harry... he doesn't care about you" "shut it!" she shouts, holding her wand under your chin.

your breath gets heavy, and you're avoiding eye contact with her. "you're lucky i can't kill you yet, but i can't wait to kill my traitor nephew right in front of you so you can watch the life drain from his eyes

or maybe i'll kill you in front of him first so he can feel all that more pain. realising you're alive then watching you actually die" she giggles and gets up off the ground, leaving the room while whistling and skipping.

you try to figure out where you could be, the room is dark, the lighting being a deep shade of blueish green. there's a table, a large table like the one in malfoy manor but not the same.

there's a few cabinets and old furniture, stairs in the distant hallway. could Voldemort have a secret hide out place? is that where i am? is this where he was been hiding all this time?

you sit there for what feels like hours and hours upon end, before Voldemort finally enters the room. you sit up quickly, not slouching down and look at him with your eyes slightly squinted, intimidating eyes.

"i heard you were awake young one... we have a meeting, you shall stay silent there yes?" "what for?" "well maybe if you're silent during our meeting you can eat something, you are hungry aren't you?" he asks, hearing your stomach rumble from where he is standing.

"aren't you worried about me hearing your plans?" "no, you have no one to share them to, you're stuck here until we kill you". you watch Death Eaters apporate into the room, noticing Snape. you scoff at this sight, remembering what he did to Dumbledore.

"miss y/l/n..." he says calmly, earning an eye roll from you in response. The Death Eaters sit at the table, Voldemort sitting at the head of it.

"can we kill her yet? can we kill her, please let me kill her it will be so fun and painful and slow-" "Bellatrix quiet down" Voldemort shouts, but his voice remaining calm.

while the meeting starts, you can't help but wonder what's going on back at Hogwarts, how everyone is feeling, what they're thinking now that you're gone.
