Double Trouble

Chapter 19- Green Light

I felt stronger battling this time. I had Draco and Sage by my side and felt like nothing can tear me down. We were starting to push off the death eaters. One by one they would leave out of fear and then all of a sudden, they all left. We began to cheer with excitement.

"Ronnie! Your arm! Look!" I looked down where Draco was pointing and noticed my mark was gone. It turned into a scar. "He's done it!" Draco said with excitement. Harry has killed Voldemort! I turned to look for Sage to tell her and I saw something I never wanted to see.

Flash of green light.

I fell to the ground feeling like my soul has left my body. I felt my body scream. The whole world just stopped. I couldn't move.

Draco's POV

The burning sensation finally left my arm. I looked down to see what was going on and realized, the mark was gone. Harry has killed Voldemort! I told Veronica to look at her arm and she was excited to see the mark has disappeared as well. She went to tell Sage and celebrate with her when a flash of green light hit Sage. I watched as both twins fell to the ground. Veronica was screaming as she watched her sister's lifeless body hit the ground. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want Veronica to have this life. I stood in shock trying to process this. I then looked up and saw McGonagall look at me with a smile. Once she saw my face, her smile dropped to a worried look. You can see she felt relieved once she saw Veronica, but then instantly felt worried looking for Sage. She caught on to what was going on and rushed over to us. She dropped to her knees once she saw Veronica was hugging her sister's body.

"Oh, my dear. No." She was crying with Veronica, holding Sage's hand. I looked over and saw the trio standing there. Harry looked at me asking if this was fake.

"Sage." Harry whispered and began to cry. I caught him as he, too, was about to drop. I held him there as he cried. Everyone around us began to cry as well, holding their wands up in the sky.

"Veronica, come on. We have to go." I said trying to help her up. She was weightless trying to stand. I held up most of her weight and we walked back towards the castle.

It's the last day and everyone was hugging each other goodbye. Veronica is doing okay. Every day is a new struggle and I know she is trying her best to keep her head up. It's a lot more difficult at night. She's been crying every night now, causing me to wake up and hold her until she calms down. It's been extremely exhausting on my end, but I am trying as well. I told Veronica we have a house waiting for us in the town I brought her to this past summer. I picture our kids going to the same ice cream shop I went to and play in the same park. Getting this house and wedding planning will be a good distraction for her, I hope. Harry and the rest of the trio have been pretty helpful supporting Veronica. I know it's been extremely hard for them, as well.

I walked in to help Veronica carry her trunk when I saw her sitting on what was Sage's bed.

"Hello, my love" I said in a soft voice. "Are you packed?"

"Draco...Draco I want you to obliviate me."

"What?"

"I want you to obliviate me. I want to forget I even had a sister. I want this hurt and emptiness to go away. I can't live like this anymore." She begins to cry and I sat down next to her holding her tightly.

"I will not do that. I'm sorry, but I can't. Sage would be so upset if she found out you forgot about her. You can do this and you will. You are going to live your life the way we planned and Sage is going to be everywhere with you. In your heart." She started to cry harder and looked at me. I whipped her tears away and handed her something that was wrapped.

"I thought you would want this." She begins to unwrap it and gasped. Tears were falling faster again as she was holding my gift.

"Draco...how?"

"I grabbed it before we left. I saw it lying next to her. I'm not sure what we can do with it, but I figured she would want you to keep her wand." She smiled at me and stood up placing hers and her sister's wand in her pocket. I grabbed her trunk and her hand and we walked out.

Hogwarts will never be the same. It was home for many, including me. But I am thankful to be able to start my own life at my own home.
