might be a lil sad
you were running around the castle like a mad man. the war has just begun and there was quite literally no escape for the evil that has now invaded the walls of hogwarts. hogwarts was more than a place you would go to learn how to make poly juice potion, fend off dementors, and make objects float with just a swish and flick of your wrist. it was the place where you'd create all of the memories that you will tell your children, the place where you met your best friends, and the place where you met your soulmate, draco malfoy. as of right now he was the reason you were running around the castle. you were looking for him. you two were separated after bellatrix lestrange destroyed the great hall.
the great hall. that's where you and draco met for the first time. it was your first year and you were both waiting to be sorted into your houses when he introduced himself to you. you both went into hogwarts not really knowing anyone. draco had his two friends, crabbe and goyle, while you only knew ron, harry, and hermione from the train ride. within the little time you both had before you were sorted you and draco made a pact with each other that no matter what house you were sorted into you would stay friends. and that's exactly what happened. you two were inseparable.
you were running as fast as your feet could carry you, looking back every so often to make sure you weren't being chased. you were calling out for draco hoping that you'd hear him call back for you but he didn't. it felt like you have been running for an eternity. every room you pass brings back more and more memories. you pass the potions classroom and remember the day amortentia was brewed. you smelled strong, expensive cologne and hints of green apple and citrus. you knew exactly who it was. after class draco asked what you smelled and you told him very nonchalantly what you smelt and he did the same. you both started to smile as wide as your cheeks would allow you. he picked you up and spun you around out of pure joy because he finally felt loved. and so did you.
with every stride you took you began to grow weaker knowing you were going to have to stop at some point to catch your breath, but you wouldn't allow yourself. not until you found draco. you ran outside and saw the tree draco used to sit in. he used to sit outside in the courtyard just watching over everything and everyone. the thing that people didn't understand about you was how you could be so sweet, yet be so madly in love with someone so cold. draco is anything but cold. he's just horribly scared of letting people in. you need to be extra cautious with what you say around draco because he is so scared of love. he didn't know real love before you. he didn't know how to accept your love at first, but with total reassurance that you weren't going anywhere he warmed up.
you run back into the castle running up flights of stairs remembering all of the conversations you both had just mindlessly walking around the castle after curfew with no real destination. draco would always walk you back to your common room and kiss you goodnight like the gentleman he truly is. at this point you were crying. you felt hopeless. you ran into a room you've never been in before and saw a mirror. it looked very old but it was beautiful. you walked over to look properly into it and saw draco standing behind you. he was smiling and looking at you with nothing but pure love.
"draco." you whisper. "you had me worried sick!" you say.
"y/n. there you are. please come with me. now!" a breathless hermione says running into the room you are in.
"mione?" you call out. turning around hoping to see draco, but he is no where to be seen.
"yes. now let's go we can't waste any more time." she says grabbing your arm. you and her both begin to sprint down the flight of stairs, past his tree, past the potions class room, and the great hall. finally you both stop at the entrance of the once safest place to be. you see all of your friends beaten and bloodied up. you stand there in pure horror as you lay eyes on voldemort. you've only heard stories of him. you've never seen him in the flesh. you look away from him and see a body laying in front of him. you scan the body and your eyes land on his face. draco.
" tell me where she is!" draco shakes his head, "crucio! crucio!" voldemort casts on the boy.
"stop! he's just a boy!" draco's mother, narcissa, cries out trying to get to her son. draco's father holds her back from the evil wizard.
"no, no, no, no. no!" you cry out breaking from hermione's grip.
"y/n, stop!" she yells after you.
you break through the crowd of people and run to the boy writhing in pain. you fall to your knees and hesitantly grab his face. you use your thumbs to wipe his tears that have formed and are slowly falling down his face.
"oh, so draco, this is the girl you betrayed me for? lovely to meet you y/n." voldemort snarls.
you knew exactly what he meant by him being betrayed. you were to run away with draco and never look back because you both needed to get away from the evil even more now than you ever had to before. you glare up to voldemort and look back down to draco who is slowly recovering from the immense pain he just had undergone.
"y/n, i love you. i have always loved you and i always will." that's the first time he told you loved you. you always knew he loved you but he never said it because he was scared of love. draco lifts one of his arms up and brings your head down to his and connects your lips. draco's kisses were always full of passion, love, need, want, you name it. this one was different it felt like he was saying goodbye.
"dray, no. you're not allowed to give up. not yet. remember when we talked about how we would have a bunch kids and live in big house? i can't do that without you. you've got to be strong for me yeah?" you sob out.
"just tell me you love me." he whispers.
"i love you. i love you more than anything else to ever exi-" you're cut off by draco using every last ounce of energy he has in his body to sit up and hug you.
"avada kedavera!" the dark lord casts out.
"no." you say as you feel draco go stiff. draco wasn't hugging you, he was shielding you.
"NO! that was meant for me! kill me. kill me too. please. please i can't go on without him. he was the only one there was for me!" you sob uncontrollably holding draco in your arms.
"your wish is my command miss. y/l/n." voldemort says coldly.
red and green beams fly over you as harry potter casts expelliarmus.
you didn't even care that right above you was the curse that took the love of your life away could take you away. you were numb. harry moves voldemort away from you because as much as he wanted to kill you he wanted to kill harry more. you stare down at draco in your arms cursing yourself for everything until you feel arms wrap around you and pick you up. you turn to see who's they are and see ronald weasley.
"i can't leave him! i can't please." you scream beating into the stronger boys chest with your fists trying to get back to your love.
"he's gone y/n. i'm sorry, love, he's gone." hermione says bringing you into an embrace.
"it was supposed to be me." you say sobbing.
you lost everything that night. including the last part of draco you had to hold on to. your baby.
