"Stupify!" I stun another Death Eater and quickly turn towards the next. A spell is fired my way and someone yanks me behind a rock.

"Thanks." I mutter to Harry, still mad.

"Harry! You guys have to get out of here. We have it handled." Sirius says from beside Harry, alerting me to his presence. 

"No!" Harry and I say at the same time. Sirius looks back and forth between us and shakes his head.

"You're not even related to James but you act just like him." He says to me. I can't help but smile at that.

As a spell hits the rock we're crouching behind, we stand up and start fighting again.

"Nice one, James!" I freeze. Sirius just called Harry... wow.

"Avada Kedavra!" I spin around to see who would dare use that spell and on who.

I watch in horror as Sirius is hit directly in the chest with that green light. He stares at Harry as he drifts away.

Harry screams out, his voice pure agony. Tears burst through my eyes at his pain. I run over to where Lupin is hugging him and try to help him. Harry breaks through and sprints after Bellatrix.

"I have to go with him!" I shout out. Lupin grabs me.

"No! It's too dangerous!" I try to pull away but his grip on me is strong.

"Please." He sighs and let's me go. I take off and see Dumbledore in the hall, fighting someone. My heart drops when I see the figure.

Lord Voldemort.

I silently creep forward, clinging to the wall. Harry sees me and his eyes widen. At that moment Voldemort's head whips around to me and he flings a spell at me. I hit a wall and hear a sick crack and all goes dark.

"What the hell happened to her?" I hear a voice angrily yell.

"Malfoy. Relax. She was attacked by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Hermione says. Silence. "I'm gonna give you some time with her. I'll be at dinner." Footsteps exit. I hear the scrape of chair legs on the floor and feel a figure grab my hand and hold it. A kiss is planted on my knuckles. Feeling weak, I fall back asleep and wake up again sometime later.

"Y/n, you have somehow bewitched me. Mind, body, and soul." He squeezes my hand. Footsteps approach and he stands up, and walks away. My hand feels cold now. Ignoring that, I drift off yet again.

Hermiones voice drifts in the hospital wing, with the twins and Ron. I slowly open my eyes, the light burning like hell.

"Y/n!!! You're awake!!!" Hermione exclaims.

"You scared us!!" The twins yell out.

"I'll go get Draco. He said to update him on your condition." Hermione says, running out.

*DRACOS POV*
I'm sitting outside, alone. Just reflecting. Closing my eyes, the breeze flows through my hair, the pieces messy. The bags under my eyes reflect the lack of sleep recently.

"Malfoy! Malfoy!!" A voice yells. My eyes snap open in irritation. The Granger girl comes to a stop, panting.

"She's awake." With those two words my heart stops.

"Let's go." I stand up quickly and we walk fast down the halls.

*READERS POV*
I'm talking to the twins when rapid footsteps catch my attention. When the blonde walks into the room I can't help but beam at him.

He walks over and envelopes me in a tight hug.

"You end up here too often, y/L/n." He says annoyed. I laugh. He puts on a mean show when everyone's around.

Madam Pomfrey clears me to leave the next day and I start packing my things.

"Hey." Ginny approaches me. I can't help but have some distaste towards her, she did go behind my back and get with Harry.

"Hey." I answer pointedly.

"Come stay with us for the summer." I sigh.

"Do you really think that's a good idea?"

"Mums worried about you. She wants to take care of you."

"Maybe."

"Hey, I'm sorry. For what happened. I really am. I never meant for this to happen. Harry said that he was going to end things with you anyway." I nod. "You and Harry should talk things out."

"I will. I needed time to cool down."

"Are we okay?" She asks.

"Getting there." She smiles.

"Thank Merlin. I've missed you, Y/n." I smile. She almost tackles me in a hug and I laugh.

"You know, Harry and I wouldn't have worked out anyway. It's better, this way."

The platform is busy and I get lots of stares.

I try to find Draco before I leave, when I feel arms around my waist from behind in a hug.

"Gotcha!" He laughs in my ear.

"Draco! I was looking for you!"

"You better write this Summer. I mean it this time." He laugh.

"Maybe I will."

"I'll make sure he does." A gentle voice comes from behind me. Turning, I see a kind looking woman standing there. "Narcissa Malfoy, I'm Dracos mother." She smiles at me kindly.

"Y/n y/L/n, it's nice to meet you!" I shake her hand. Her eyes widen slightly.

"Dracos said a lot about you! All good things, of course." Mrs. Weasley calls my name and I turn.

"I have to go now." I hug Draco and turn to him and his mother. "You all have a nice summer!"

"You too." Mrs. Malfoy responds.

*Dracos POV*

"She really is pretty, Draco." Mum says once we arrive home.

"She is, isn't she? Funny, the only reason we became friends at first was because I was trying to annoy Potter."

This year I keep my promise to write. We write back and forth almost multiple times a week every week. At first, at least. As things get more busy with.... him. I cannot write as frequently.

God, I miss her.
