Bittersweet Tragedy | | Draco Malfoy

Wasted Years

Hey guys! I know it's been a WHOLE 2 YEARS since i updated but to be honest...a lot has happened, but im back. I probably won't be updating as often but I felt guilty for leaving yall on a cliffhanger.

-----
I ran into draco's dorm, tears flooding my face. I hadn't grabbed anything, so all he saw was the tear stained uniform.

"What happened Y/N" He said, grabbing me and making me sit on the bed

"We got into a fight " i stuttered

He looked at me puzzled then realized "About..." he glances at my forearm

I nod, beginning to sob again "Draco this isn't fair, I've lost two of the most important people in my life." I cried out as he embraced me in a tight hug.

"Oh my love....I'm so sorry" He said, kissing my forehead. "But you have me."

I smiled "Not the same as my two closest friends but i'm glad" i mumbled as i looked up at him. Gasping as he grabbed my face and kissed me passionately. "I love you" He said letting me come up for air

"I love you too, can i wear your clothes tonight " I said getting up and kissing him lightly on the lips. He nodded and i undressed, grabbing his t-shirt.

"Merlin." He said as I turned around and looked at him gawking at me. "Shut up, I'm not in the mood" I said smiling and laid next to him, snuggling into him

He held me tight as I fell asleep, my heart feeling the weight of loss on it.

Next Day
"Y/N, love, you need to get up" He whispers into my ear, moving his hand down my side. I groaned and tried to push him off the bed. "5 more minutes" I said but he pulled me up
"You're an evil man Draco." i said, slowly getting into my outfit from the previous night, my heart beginning to race at the idea of seeing neville and Luna.

"Draco...I can't go." I began to tear up, he wiped my tear and hugged me tightly "Why don't you sit at my table" he said kissing my forehead.
We walked down to the Great Hall, I ignored the aforementioned people. I held his hand tightly as we sat at the Slytherin table. I pushed my food around with my fork until Draco made me look at him. "You're okay. Eat a little bit" I nodded sadly, and took a few bites. He placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed it. I smiled at him.

When Class came, I held my breath as I walked into class and saw Neville. He looked at me with absolute hatred in his eyes. I looked down and tried to work on notes. I heard him whispering and looked up to see him glaring at me again. I never thought he would hate me, after everything we've done together and been through. I abruptly left the classroom, ignore the yelling of lost points. I ran up to the astronomy tower and stared out. I knew Draco would find me. He always did.

It was only 10 minutes after i went up that Draco came up. I looked up at him and tried to smile but it came out unenthusiastic. He gave me a sad smile and sat down next to me.

"What happened" He asked and the word vomit came out "Neville hates me. He actually hates me. 6 years of friendship gone because of this fucking thing" I said angrily revealing the Mark. "It's not fucking fair Draco. Haven't i proved enough that i'm not like that. Haven't I done enough to be trusted." I cried out

"Love he knows deep in his heart you aren't like them" He said, hugging me tightly

"What if he doesn't. What if I have to live my life with this on my heart. He was supposed to be my best friend, the uncle to my children. And luna, how is it fair I lose her too. She's been by my side for years no matter what i said or did. She knew you were sherbet, how can she not know that I'm not wanting this life. I don't want this Draco." I said angrily

"I know you don't but this is the way it had to be. I promise you, there was no other way" He said trying to comfort

"I could've left, ran away with the two of them and lived a muggle life" I said

"That wouldn't change anything. Your parents would've found you and you'd be right here."

"But that's not fair."

"Life isn't."

"If i could just talk to them. Our last conversation went so bad but i don't think i could get through. You see how they look at you. I never thought i'd get that look, i didn't even want it" i sighed

"you think i did?"

"no...but-"

"sometimes shit happens. I know it hurts but it'll work out. and i'm sorry that you lost them but if they can't see that you are you, then maybe they didn't know you." He stood up

"They knew me before i got the stupid mark." I said standing up as well

"That mark represents what wizards have stood for..."

"What the fuck does that mean" I interrupted him

"I mean...you know i don't support it."

"Are you sure? Because it sure fucking sounds like it" I said angrily

"Don't start this. You know me, i just meant that we can change , it doesn't define us" he sighed out

"If you truly mean that, i believe you. I just want this to be over with." I said

"It won't for a while. But we have each other now" he says

"I know. I don't think i could make it without you." He said leading me down the astronomy tower and towards the Slytherin hall. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and walked into the common room. We sat on the couch and i laid my head on his lap. He played with my hair gently as my eyes drifted closed. A sudden slam woke me up, as a Blaise came storming down the stairs. "A letter from your parents Draco, why don't you read it" He said, throwing the letter down onto the table.

Draco looked at me before slowly opening the letter. He read it and quickly folded it up. "What the fuck Blaise"

"Let her read it. She deserves to know" He said, grabbing the letter and throwing it at me.

I opened it with shaky hands, and read the first line, it was a news article. My parents had been arrested...

"I don't see what the.." then i read the note under Serves them right. Should've taken the daughter too, filthy blood traitors.Lucius wrote I assume you'll be ending the relationship now?

"Draco...?"
