Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 40

Cheers erupted from all around the stands and I stood up to see better. Cedric and Harry were laying together on the ground. Amos began running out onto the field I turned giving Fred and George hugs. "Lyss." Fred whispered. I pumped my fist into the air screaming with everyone else. The cheers were stopped short, chills instantly creeped up my arms.

"MY BOY." Amos cried. "THATS MY BOY." I slowly released Fred turning to look at the field once more. "Don't look Alyssa." My mouth fell open, and my knees felt weak. Why wasn't he moving?

I pushed several students out of my way narrowing my eyes. Harry was collapsed on top of Cedric. "Is he hurt?" I whispered. "Get away from him," I spat at Harry. Loud sobs escaped both Amos and Harry. Harry shook his head... "he's dead Alyssa..... your father..." before he could finish Moody ripped him away. "He's not dead." I whispered. Cedric lay still, lifeless. I couldn't process what had happened. "He's gone Alyssa." Amos cried. All of the professors gathered round. "How can he be dead?" I asked quietly. When none of them answered I raised my voice, "How is he dead?" Dumbledore shook his head, "get Amos away." I looked down once again to see Amos, shaking badly.

McGonagall stood beside me, looking down at him. "It's not real." I whispered, she placed a hand on my shoulder. "How can he be dead... we were just... no.. our life Cedric. You can't... you can't just leave." A few tears spilled out of my eyes. "Alyssa, why don't you come with me." I looked at Dumbledore in shock, "I'm not leaving him." I knelt down beside his body. "You promised. Cedric you promised. We were supposed to go together. It's not fair Ced." I held the paper over his closed eyes, "we had everything planned." McGonagall knelt down, picking up the parchment I just threw onto the ground. She sighed looking down at it. "I loved him." I whispered. Dumbledore nodded, "he cared very much so for you Alyssa." I lay my head down on his chest praying for his heart to suddenly start beating again. "I don't understand. How did this happen? How could you let this happen?" The minister was now standing beside Dumbledore. Rita creeped up snapping a picture of me over his body.

The flash reminded me of all the photos we had, the Yule ball, at the lake, around the castle. "Get away from him you selfish bitch." I spat. She hummed spinning around. When I looked up I saw all of the students heads down as a sign of respect. I held his body in my arms pressing his head up against my chest. "I'm sorry Ced, I'm so so sorry." I pushed my forehead against his.

I lifted my head locking eyes with the minister. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked angrily. "Do something. You're the reason he's dead. Figure out what happened." He sighed, "I'm sorry for your loss." Dumbledore pulled the minister aside. "Could you sound any more heartless?" I called after him. Snape shook his head, "he's not worth it."

I pushed strands of hair out of Cedric's face. "There's no way to bring him back. Cant you make a potion? You're an amazing witch why is nobody doing anything?" I asked McGonagall and Snape hurt. She kept her arm on my shoulder, "he's gone." Three people made their way towards us. I recognized the girl from the World Cup. The other was a tall man who introduced himself as Kingsley, and I didn't pay attention to the third. "They need to take him Alyssa." I bit my lip to stop myself from crying, "can you please let me say goodbye." Tonks nodded, "take a few more minutes."

I pressed my lips softly against his forehead, "I don't know what to say. I didn't have a death speech prepared for you. You were supposed to live, don't you remember eternal glory, how great it was going to look on you. What am I going to tell Isaac and Elise, that doesn't even matter anymore, because they don't exist and now they never will." I hugged him tighter, "I'll never love someone as much as I loved you, you were my person, my best friend, you were everything to me." I saw McGonagall and Tonks both wiping their tears. "I don't know what else I'm supposed to say. Your dead, you can't hear me anyway." I stood up, and a man with blond hair caught my attention. I took off after him ignoring snapes protests.

"YOU." I screamed. We were near the forest now. Tears were leaking out of my eyes. My father spun around. "YOU KILLED HIM. YOU KILED HIM BECAUSE I LOVED HIM." He shook his head, "I didn't do anything to that boy, Alyssa." I shook my head in disbelief, "why lie about it, isn't that what you wanted to make my life miserable. You wanted me DEAD. YOU HATE ME." He didn't move or make any attempt to talk. "He didn't deserve that." I sobbed. "You didn't need to do that." My father looked away. "LOOK AT ME YOU COWARD. DID YOU HEAR ME THAT BOY DIDNT DESERVE ANY OF THAT." He remained still, "Alyssa..." I cut him off, "NO YOU DONT GET TO SPEAK, BECAUSE NEITHER DOES CEDRIC. YOU WANT ME DEAD NOWS YOUR CHANCE. I DONT WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT HIM." He made no attempt to grab his wand. "What aren't you understanding." I spat. "KILL ME. KILL ME YOU COWARD." I ran up to him hitting him as hard as I could on the chest. "Kill me." I was chocking on my words now I was crying so hard. "I WANT YOU TO KILL ME." To my surprise he still made no move to push me away or hurt me. Instead he placed his arm on my shoulder trying to keep me away. "Draco." He called.

I spun around to see Draco standing there, "take her inside." I turned back to face my father, "I hate you. You should've killed me while you had the chance because I promise you I'm going to kill you in the most painful and unimaginable way possible." Draco wrapped his arm around my shoulder pulling me away. "I hate him." I cried, "I hate him so much." Draco just held me close. "I'm sorry."
