Because Of Him~2 (Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 49~Back To You

October 6th 1985

"Mommy lets play in the water please please please!" I begged as my mother, father, and I walked along the beach on a chilly fall afternoon.

"No, no Haley, It's way to cold, and besides we only came her to look at the water not to play in it silly!" She laughed as she picked me up swinging me around.

"Please" I begged again but this time whispering in her ear. She rolled her eyes as I felt her kick off her shoes

"I just can't say no to you can I" She smiled as she put me down on the ground taking my hand in here's as we parted away from my father who now stood laughing as he watched my mother and I running into the cold ocean water as our dry clothes became drenched in the salty water. Even though it was cold my mother and I played for hours in the ocean. Nobody except for the three of us for miles.. the way it always was and the way it always should have been.

Present Day
Haley's POV

My eyes blinked open as I felt something soft brush against my cheek. I stretched my arms above my head as my eyes fully opened.. I was staring at a wood ceiling. I closed my eyes again.. a grin spreading across my face at how comfortable and warm I was.. but then my last memories came flooding over me.. Of Voldemort and the Malfoy Manor.

I flinched before sitting up quickly. I looked around the room I was in, It was small with a large bed in the middle of it. Where was I? I flinched and back up against the frame of the bed as the door slowly opened. I looked around frantically , I saw my wand sitting on a small night stand that sat next to the bed. I held it at the door and slowly lowered it as the shock and surprise of who entered came over me. It was Draco, he smiled at me closing the door.. he looked different, he was dressed in a flannel with his bare chest showing underneath..

"Where are we?" I asked

"Some cottage" He responded

"Draco..they-they'll kill you" I stated nervously as Draco sat beside me on the bed

"I think I'll be alright" He whispered into my ear before he planted a firm kiss on my cheek. My eyes widened again as I looked at him, my eyes filling with tears of hope.

"Are they here?" I questioned. A small grin spread across his face as he nodded

"Yeah they're here.. Took them hours to let me in" I smiled with tears of relief as I stood up from the bed

"Haley careful.. bandages" Draco warned, I looked down to see that both my arms were tightly wrapped in bandages

"I think I'll be alright" I smiled before I was walking out of the door to the small bedroom. I entered a tiny corridor that led to a staircase. I flew down before I was in a small kitchen. Two faces turned to look at me whenI entered- Bill and Fleur

"Oh Haley I am so happy that you are ok" Fluer said as she gave me a hug followed by Bill

"Thank you so much for letting Draco and I here" I said thankfully looking up at them

"Don't thank us" Fluer whispered looking behind me slightly I turned around to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione starring back at me. My eyes instantly watered as I ran to him.. to Ron. I threw myself into him, throwing my arms around his shoulders, crying into his chest. I never thought that I would see him again.

'Ron.. I- It's really you" I cried

"I am so sorry Haley" He whispered "I'm so sorry"

"It's ok." I responded

"Haley!" Hermione said excitedly as she hugged me "I'm so excited to see you"

"Me too Hermione" I whispered I looked at Harry who looked back at me sympathetically before he walked quickly towards me putting his arms around me.

"I tried.. I tried to go back for you Haley" Harry said with a small sob in his voice.."I was worried.. worried you were gone"

"It's ok Harry" I said pulling away before looking him in the eyes

"I'm just glad everyone else got here safely" I said quietly as I watched the three of them look down as I saw Draco appear from around the corner. Ron looked back at me

"Not everyone"
