The wind brushed my hair against my check as I sat starring at Dolby's grave.. It had been a somber few days since Ron told my the news about Dobby. While the group inside planned and debated on what we would do next. Draco and I sat at Dobby's grave.. for hours and hours. I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt every time I read the words.. Here lies Dobby A Free Elf

Was this my fault?

If only I hadn't made them wait.. If only i had gotten there a few seconds sooner..

Maybe Draco wouldn't be in the terribe situation..

Dobby would still be alive..

I wouldn't wake up to horrible nightmares of Bellatrix and Voldemort.. being back in that cellar.. getting the Cruciatus cruse multiple times.. over.. and over again.

"I need to go"

My head snapped to the eyes of Draco who was sitting beside me.. his cold hand in mine. "Draco.." I pleaded quietly

"I'm so sorry.. I- they'll kill us both" Draco whispered

"Draco- just stay please I can't be alone again" I cried

"I know things are hard right now.. and things are about to get a hell of a lot worse, but hopefully the right side will win.. and we'll be together again" Draco said. I knew what he had to do.. i knew it ever since I woke up and he was here.. He needed to go back, he needed to go back to them. A tear streamed down my cheek

"I know you have to go.." I whispered "Just promise me something.."

"Anything" He replied back

"Promise me that no matter what.. we'll find our way back to each other.. no matter what side wins" I said looking up into his eyes

"Haley.. I can't- I don't want you to be in danger-" His eyes were filling with tears too

"Please-" I choked resting my head on his chest as we again starred past Dolby's grave out to the bright blue ocean, waves crashing down

"I promise" He whispered but I could tell by the uncertainty in his voice that he lied.. nobody could promise anything anymore. Tears streamed down my cheeks as he stood up, holding his hand out for me to grab. As the sun was now descending behind the ocean we hugged and held on to each other for dear life not wanteing to let go. He stood still while I cried. I just wanted to be together.. to be happy. But we couldn't and I wasn't sure we ever could be.

I sat in the glow of sunset crying in the minutes after Draco had apparated away. I already missed and wanted to be back in his arms again. The second there was hope it seems as though it was ripped away from me within a matter of seconds.

Was the end of this war in sight? Or was it just beginning?

I was still crying when I entered Sell Cottage again and was instantly greeted my Harry and Ron at the front door. "Where is he?" Harry questioned sternly

"Who?" I questioned

"Draco" Ron said

"He left" I said quietly a tear stinging my eye

"Bloody hell" Ron said

"What?" I asked "What's wrong?"

"He took it" Harry said

"Took what?" I questioned


"Bellatrix's wand" Harry said looking at the floor "It was on the table and it disappeared right before he went out with you"

"What?" I said surprised "Are you sure Harry I mean-"

"Yes he's bloody sure' Ron said in frustration. I looked at him slightly shocked before I crossed my arms

"He probably needed it so they would forgive him for saving me.." I said quietly "I suppose you two would have rathered him not save me then steal your trophy of a wand?" Then I stormed off ''

"Haley.. no" Ron called after me but I ignored him.
