•LIII - Impossible To Destroy•

IT WAS hard for them, seeing as they couldn't leave the woods because of Ron's situation. 

They only hid in a tent. And a spell that's supposed to protect them from being seen.

For now, the four of them were outside, the locket on top of a tree trunk. They were trying to destroy it.

"You first," Hermione had told Harry.

Harry raised his wand, "Dissendium," he said, and the spell made the locket smoke, but it didn't seem to have done anything. They all walked towards it, seeing as it fell off the tree trunk. And it was on the ground, still in tact. 

Raising her wand to the locket, Hermione let go of a spell, "Incendio," she said, and it sent the locket to flames. But the flames died, and didn't do much damage to the locket.

"Expulso!" Harry Exclaimed, but once again, it didn't even give the locket a scratch, "Diffindo! Reducto!" he tried spell after spell, but the locket was still in one piece.

Y/N swallowed the lump in her throat as she hugged herself, "It's impossible to destroy," she mumbled, but she knew that the three heard her.

Harry picked the locket up and wore it around his neck, "What are you doing?" asked Hermione, knowing it was a bad idea wearing the locket.

"We have to keep it safe until we find out how to destroy it," Harry said, tucking it in his flannel shirt.

Ron couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, "Seems strange, mate," he said, "Dumbledore sends you off to find these Horcruxes, but doesn't tell you how to destroy them.. Doesn't that bother you?" the redhead asked.

The green eyed boy looked at Ron in disbelief. He let out a heavy sigh and walked away and into the woods.

Y/N looked at both Hermione and Ron, "Shouldn't we follow him?" she asked, worried for the boy who lived.

Hermione shook her head, "Just let him be for a while, he'll come around," she said, and walked away, into another direction of the woods.

The only two left were Ron and Y/N. They glanced at each other, and let out a sigh, "I'm going inside," said the redhead and walked inside their little but not-so-little tent.

Y/N didn't have a choice but to just follow Ron. She was tired, after all, too.

Ron turned on the radio, and Y/N listened to it, too. She was sure that he's listening to it for the reason the same as hers. They were making sure that their families are safe.

The girl couldn't even imagine hearing her father's name declared as... Dead. Nor would she stand it if it was Remus. 

Y/N still wanted to spend so much days with her father. And Remus is just about to be a father. An actual father. He's having his own child, not his best friend's to take care of.

And Fred and George. The whole Weasley family. Y/N would break to hear their names, but that won't beat what Ron would feel.

Names were declared. Names, after names, after names. And both Y/N and Ron hoped it won't be a familiar one.

Draco Malfoy is in his room. He always is unless the Dark Lord calls for their presence downstairs. And every single time, the blonde didn't want to show up.

But he knew better than to ignore Voldemort's orders.

Thankfully, it was late at night, and everyone was asleep.. Hopefully.

Most Death Eaters are most probably out side, killing innocent people, and the thought of it makes Draco want to just kill himself. He's going to die sooner or later, so why not do it now?

But every time he thinks about ending his life, his eyes would always travel to the ring on top of his bedside table. The knot ring with a small flower on it. It was a beautiful ring, and he was upset Y/N decided to leave it behind.

He remembered when he snuck into Grimmauld's place- Sirius, he was a great man. What did Draco do to deserve such treatment from his girlfriend's father? He's a death eater, he's going to get his daughter killed.

But Draco could remember Sirius' words clearly.

Draco couldn't believe what he was hearing. How can Sirius Black be kind to him? A Malfoy?

"I.. I don't think I have the right to call you by your first name, sir," Draco looked down.

Sirius couldn't help but laugh, "I misjudged you, Draco," he said, walking towards the blonde to put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at the teenager in the eyes to show sincerity, "I thought you're just like the other Malfoys. All pride and money.. But my daughter saw something in you, and I trust my daughter's judgement. Besides, I've seen it with my own eyes, here and now."

The blonde didn't exactly know what to say, because first of all, he wasn't even supposed to be there, and second, he wasn't ready to have these kinds of talk with his hopefully father in law- if things go right. I mean, they didn't really break up, right?

"Thank you?" Draco let out as awkward as it could've gotten.

With a small laugh, Sirius patted Draco's shoulder and said, "Go home, boy. Your mother might be looking for you."

It was true, Narcissa did look for him. Right when he got home, she bombarded him with questions, and told him how worried she got.

Draco had no choice but to tell Narcissa where he's been. But he decided to leave Sirius out of the story, he didn't want him to get in trouble.

But now, the boy stared up at the sky. The stars twinkled, and the moon shone brightly. Draco knew that Y/N's looking up at the same sky he's looking at right now, and that's enough for him to feel her presence.

As long as they keep moving, they're safe. 

And as long as they don't get caught, they're safe.

But she's Y/N Black, the most mischievous person Draco knows. Best at pranks along with the Weasley twins, can go walking around the castle past curfew, and not get caught.

The possibility of them getting caught is very low. If they do, Draco knew they'll find away even if he couldn't help. He would, but with Harry Potter around? 

There really is no need of his help.

~~~

Ha, a little snekpek of Draco. He's a sadboi, because Y/N left her ring :(

Anyways, so yeah, I know I've been absent, not very active, and uh, that's because of school work.

Also,, there's a high possibility of me having Covid, along with my family, which I really hope it's not. We're having swab tests soon. Pray for negative results, please.

I'm saying this not for pity, please. I'm saying this because I really am scared. PLEASE wear your masks and face shields, or just avoid going out at all! I don't go out much, but I do, and I regret it. We really never learn our lesson until we do it ourselves.

I am personally telling you to stay at home and just stay there. Entertain yourself with Tiktok, or Wattpad, or physical books!

I have no idea when I'll be able to update on Risk again. If I don't update, then.. Idk, I hope I update again soon.

Ily Potathoes 3000!

Please take care.
