Dark daughter ; Draco x y/n

FOURTY THREE

July 15th

i couldn't think straight.

my mind had been full of my haunting memories.

Dumbledore and Charity.

they keep repeating in my mind and i couldn't shut them out.

my occulemency wasn't working.

i sat in the middle of my room with my head in my knees as the memories played over and over.

i hadn't left my room in over a week.

i kept the door locked too as i didn't want to talk to anyone.

not even Draco would understand.

The house elves brought me meals every day which i'm sure was Narcissas doing.

i barely touched them anyway.

there hasn't been any meetings since charity's and i knew there would be one soon.

my mind continued flashing with memories of Dumbledores drill body falling off that tower and charity's pleading eyes as she dropped to the table.

i never wanted to be my father but he was twisting me to make it so that i was.

i hated my father for all of this.

He was an awefull person and he dragged so many people into his revenge plan.

there was a knock at my door.

there hasn't been a knock all week.

i slowly collected myself and opened the door.

Draco.

"walk with me?" he asked

he wanted to go for a walk?

"let me get my coat" i said walking round my room trying to find it.

why didn't he knock before?

why almost 2 weeks later?

i found my coat and stepped outside my room with him.

"why do you want to go for a walk?" i asked

"clear our minds" he replied

fair enough.

he took my hand as we descended down the stairs.

the house must've been empty if he was going to hold my hand.

we left through the front door and began walking down the road.

the air was only just staring to warm up for summer and the trees were gaining more leaves.

more reminders that we were closer to what was coming.

"there's a meeting at 7 tonight" Draco said

my heart sunk slightly. i knew it was coming.

"i wonder what he wants this time" i rolled my eyes.

Draco stopped walking and stood in front of me holding both of my hands.

"you're probably wondering why i left you alone whilst you were in your room" he started

"it's because i knew you wouldn't be taking it all very well and i didn't want to see you falling apart. i know it sounds selfish and i'm sorry for that but i promise from now on I'm going to be there for you" he finished

"i don't blame you Draco i would've done the same" i admitted

"this next year isn't going to be easy but i promise to stay by your side and protect you" he said
