SAD ENDING VERSION!!

*-ϟ -ϟ-*

"Mattheo!! We won! We won!" I say, hugging him.

He holds me, tightly, "Y/n, it hurts..."

"What?"

"It hurts, why does it hurt?"

"Mattheo?"

"Princess..," he says, falling to his knees.

"Mattheo..."

I sit in front of him and place my hand on his cheek, "Mattheo.., what happened? Who did it?"

"No one..."

"Why are you in so much pain?"

"Y/n, I'm sorry, Mazia told me the plan. I knew I was bonded, I should've told you. I didn't want you to worry."

"What?"

"Voldemort..." he murmurs and stares at his hands.

I feel the world around me stop. My heart pounds.

"Y/n, I'm sorry but I needed you to save Hogwarts."

"No, no, no, no," I say, "How do we stop it!?"

"We can't."

"Mattheo, what the fuck? I'd let the whole world crumble, I'd let everyone die so you'd be safe-"

"That's the problem, Princess. It's the reason, I didn't tell you."

He places his hand in my pocket and drops something in it.

"Y/n, Princess, I love you."

"Stop looking at me like that, Matty, I can't have this be our last memory, I don't wanna see the light leave your eyes," I say, tears rolling down my cheeks.

He smiles, lightly and his eyes wander from mine.

"I love you, Matty," I manage to say.

There's no reply.

"Matty..."

We didn't win. We lost. Well, I lost. Voldemort planned for this. He knew if I did kill him, he'd take away the one person I need the most; the one person I love the most; the one person I'd tear the world apart for.

"We succeeded but it hadn't filled the hole in my heart. As much as I hated it, I was raised by the Death Eaters. And, no matter what, I can't bring anyone back and it didn't really avenge anyone either," I sigh.

I kick a few rocks around, "What I am saying is...not only did this stupid battle cause people to die, it took you. You're gone. And I can't bring you back. Sure, Mei and Mazia are happy; Parker and Chester were reunited; Blaise and Pansy are living happily; Malfoy met this girl Astoria Greengrass, funnily enough, she was his old pen pal; Harry and Ginny settled down; Hermione and Ron are happy as ever; Georgie is happier and accepting Fred is gone, slowly, he's also settled down with Angela and they're engaged; Hailey is enjoying and about to start her dream job; Theo met someone and they're settling down together; Carla is doing great, her family is happy about her return."

I sigh.

"But, the stupid battle didn't do shit for me. I know what I did was good, it saved so many lives and everything but...I miss you. I can't believe it," I say, "Sorry for ranting, Mattheo. I love you so much. I miss you, you were my best friend and the best boyfriend."

I place my hand on his grave.

"You deserved so much better," I chuckle lightly, "I guess you proved me wrong...I owe fifty galleons. I just thought I'd always be there to protect you...I guess I can't, I tried. I know it's my fault you're gone."

A tear rolls down my cheek as I place the flowers down.

"Your favourite flowers and they're your favourite colour," I say.

"Y/n, you coming?" Draco asks in the distance.

I wipe my eyes.

"Gimme a minute!" I call, attempting to cover how much my voice is breaking.

I pull out the piece of paper he'd placed in my pocket, the day he died. I was too scared to open it yet I carry it around, daily.

I open the piece of paper.

Hey, Princess.

I'm sorry, you lost a lot of people and I'm sorry I was one of them. You've made history, though, darling. You're amazing and I'm so glad I was in your life cuz you made mine a whole lot better. You were the only person I could escape with. When I was with you, I felt safe, I've never felt that before, not with anyone or anywhere. I love you so fucking much.

×Mattheo♡

I stand up, "Rest easy, Mattheo...I love you. You deserve the break. See you later."

I walk away.

"You alright?" Draco asks, putting an arm around me.

I nod.

"I know it's hard, Y/n, I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, you should probably go to the café, Astoria, Pansy and Blaise are waiting," I grin.

"You are welcome to join."

"A double date? No thanks. Plus, I need a break from love..."

"Right, see you, Y/n!" He says and dashes across the street.

I nod.
