Dark Desicions ~ Draco X Reader

Chapter 27 ~ The Memorial

°• Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain •°

Dracos POV

"Crabbe, Goyle" I said walking into the Slytherin common room "have you seen Potter?" They just shook there heads, to busy scoffing down chocolate frogs to actually reply. "She went down to the music room." Parkinson spoke up.

"Okay great." I replied "Malfoy, she went there to be alone." She said, standing front of the door, stopping me from leaving. I rolled my eyes "get out of my way Parkinson." I snapped "Draco, why are you being so protective of her lately, she can look after herself you know."
"I know. I just need to talk to her." The girl shook her head, stepping out of my way.

I made it to the music room. I was about to open the door, when I heard her talking to someone. "I haven't taken it off since you gave it to me." She said sniffling "even when we had our fight." What in Merlin was she going on about.

I peaked into the little window on the door, trying to figure out who she was talking to, but there was no one there. "The night you died," she continued "I made the biggest mistake of my life, well i dont know, actually." I furrowed my brows, I was completely confused about what this girl was saying.

" Voldemort told me," the name made me tense up, "that because I was the stronger twin, the evil twin, I should be on his side. Of course i wasnt going to even consider it." I sigh of relief escaped my lips, "But he then told me that, if I dont join him, he will kill Draco, in the most gruesome way possible"

My heart dropped. I was being used to blackmail her into joining you know who. " I dont know what to do Ced. As much as I want to fight with my brother, i cant let Draco get hurt." All I felt was guilt, i shouldnt be the reason she goes against her brother. " I love him."

She,she what? I thought to myself.
"Well, I havent actually told him that yet, but, I cant let him get hurt, and if that means joining the Dark Lord, then, I dunno." I just stood there. Just thinking. Many questions crossing my mind, in that one second.

"Anyway, I've got to go. Your memorial is in five minutes, I have no idea how I'm going to sit through that." Shit. She cant know I was listening. I leant against the wall trying to look like I had just arrived, hoping she didnt know i was listening. "I love you Ced. Always" I heard her say before the door opend to the music room.

She stepped out and looked at me confused "you okay?" I said, trying to act as normal as possible, putting arm around her shoulders. "Umhm," she nodded "I think so."

Y/n POV

We made it into the great hall. I sat next to Pansy, with Draco the other side. Having this memorial made losing Cedric, even more real. "Today, we acknowledge, a really terrible loss." Dumbledore started "Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hard-working, infinitely fair-minded and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend"

I just stared at the floor, trying my hardest to hold tears back. "I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. " I looked up at the Professor quickly, is he really going to tell them. "You see," he continued " Cedric Diggory was murdered, by Lord Voldemort. The ministry of magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory."

I looked over to my brother. We both shared the same expression. A mixture of shock and gratitude. Everyone needed to know, even if the didnt believe us, for there safety. "Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us, why we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our heart beats as one. "

Draco still had hold of my hand, squeezing it occasionally, reminding me he was there. "Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain, you remember that, and we celebrate a boy who was kind and honest, brave, true, right till the very end."

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The next day everyone was going home. We went out to the courtyards to say our goodbyes to our foreign friends. I was sat on a bench with Pansy, when Delacour came rushing over to me. I stood up as she pulled me into a hug. "Y/n," she said in her soft french accent " I want to thankyou again for saving my sister, it really means so, so much to me." "Your welcome Delacour." I smiled back.

"And I'm very sorry for every thing I said and did to you in the past." "Its okay, really. To be honest, if it wasnt for you, I wouldn't be here with my brother, so, thankyou for making my life a living hell." I laughed. She pulled me into a final hug, before walking away.
