YOUR POINT OF VIEW

             We headed back on our way to the manor. It was darker now, but the bright moonlight and millions of stars lit the sky and guided our way.

             I stopped in my tracks. "Draco?" I said quietly. He stopped and turned to face me. "Yes Princess?" He responded. "If you ever stop loving me, if you love someone else..." he interrupted me. "Darling, I will never stop loving you." He said. "But say that you do. Don't cheat on me. Just be honest and break up with me?" He sighed and rubbed his temple. "Y/N..." he started. "No. Promise me. I can't take another heart break Draco." He looked to me with pure sadness in his eyes. "I promise." He said quietly. I hugged him and whispered "Thank you Draco." Into his chest.

             Soon, we made our way into the manor. "Y/N..." I heard Narcissa say. She was crying, and her eyes were a bright red colour. She was gripping a letter in her hands. "Y/N, I'm so sorry Dear." She said. She handed me the letter and rushed out of the room. Draco and I sat down on a maroon couch and I started reading.

"Ms. Y/L/N,
We regret to inform you that your mother had taken ill and had been spending time at Saint Mungo's hospital. She was diagnosed with a stage 4 breast cancer on December 4th. The cancer was already too large to remove, and she had been sick long before she had found out."

             I paused from reading and took a break. I felt a knot in my throat and a crushing weight on my chest. I felt tears gather in my eyes.

"On this night of December 8th, your mother had passed away."

             No. No it couldn't be. I felt tears stream down my face and I started sobbing.

"A ministry worker will visit you soon to discuss her will.
Condolences,
The ministry of magic"

             I felt myself start to hyperventilate. Tears were streaming down my face, and I let out loud uneven sobs through my fast breath. I started rocking back and forth, and plugged my ears and squeezed my eyes shut. As if blocking off my senses could somehow bring her back to life. This was all some dumb prank right? Mum was fine, living at our quaint home in London, sipping tea right.

             "Y/N, what's the matter?" Asked Draco quietly. I shoved the letter into his hands, and leaned into his chest, crying on him. He read the letter silently, and hugged me. "I'm so sorry Princess." He whispered hoarsely. "Draco, tell me. This is a prank." I demanded. "Y/N..." he started calmly. I shot out of the couch and stood up. "TELL ME! THIS IS FAKE! A FORGERY! A SICK JOKE!" I yelled. He just looked up at me with a sad look in his eyes, and remained silent. I felt my knees give away and I collapsed onto the floor, pulling at my hair.

             I felt cold, comforting hands on my back. "Y/N, I'm so sorry." He said quietly. I jolted and turned to face him. "GODRIC- WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT? EVERYTHING IS FINE. I'M FINE. MUM IS FINE, SIPPING TEA ON SOME FUCKING FRONT PORCH!" I yelled. I dropped my head onto his shoulder. "I'm tired. Let's go to bed." I whispered faintly. Draco helped me up and we walked upstairs to Draco's room. We were greeted by a knock at the door. "Come in." Said Draco. "Y/N, I do hope to express my condolences. Your mother was a fine woman. She didn't deserve any of it." Lucius said. I remained silent, and heard him leave.

             "Y/N, do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Asked Draco. "No. I want to be alone tonight." I responded. He nodded, and left me alone in the room. I stayed there, just staring and a blank mark on the wall for hours. I checked the clock which read 2:45am. I scribbled something down on a piece of paper, and ran to the highest tower of the manor. I tried getting out onto the balcony, but the sliding glass door wouldn't open.

DRACO'S POINT OF VIEW

             I woke up and looked at the clock. 2:46am. I had the strangest feeling that something was off. I rushed to Y/N's guest room and found it empty with a note scribbled on a piece of parchment. "Draco, my love. I'm so sorry I have to leave you. I'll see you soon enough. For now... for now I'm visiting mum and Cedric. I love you always"

             I felt panic run over my body, and I started to panic. All of a sudden, I heard glass shatter loudly from the east most part of the manor.

             I ran up the stairs to the east tower, praying that she was still alive and standing there. With every step, I felt a little stronger. Like I could run up the stairs for hours.

             I saw the sliding door. It wasn't far from here. I kept on running until I reached the top. All of my senses clouded in my brain at once. It had finished snowing outside. The sky was filled with small lantern like stars. The air smelled sweet. Like a sunny day after a week of rain. I heard crickets chirp into the night sky, and a loud breathing fill the air. I looked over across from me and saw Y/N. her back was facing me, and she was smelling the air. Maybe contemplating what to do, preparing herself, or maybe just letting her worried drift away in the wind like that one night.

             I watched her attentively, and tried not to blink. Not even to close my eyes for a millisecond. I saw her arms push her up higher onto the edge. She stood up on the railing and jumped...
