It wasn't even Saturday yet and it was still too early in the morning to receive a letter from my son.But eitherway,I was still happy to receive it.The manor had been so awfully empty.There was no one else besides me and some of my house elves.
I carelessly broke the seal,excited for some news.But it was just a short note,and the most surprising one he had ever written.
Dad,
Please come at once.I think there's someone you want to meet.
-S.H.M.
Meet someone?In Hogwarts?
I know some of my classmates had became Professors in my old school and I've met them once or twice in Diagonal Alley.Scorpius knew that.Still,it intrigued me.And why must I decline a request from my son when he wants his father to come?
So,I had grabbed my wand and made my way to the chimney,a jar of floo powder in my arms.
***
"I cam as soon as I received it,"I told him,"Did someone hurt you?Do I need to have a word with the headmaster?-"
"No,Dad.Calm down,"Scorpius cut me off,"I'm fine."
"Then,who am I going to meet?And why do I have to walk blindfolded?"I bickered,putting my arms in front of me in case I ran into a wall or a pillar.
As soon as I said those words,the blindfold was removed from me.I found myself staring at the old bridge.That was until a ghost appeared.Her back was turned on us,but I'd know her anywhere.
I was so surprised to even see her there.I see that she hasn't aged a bit.How could she stay?
"Y/n,"I whimpered.I didn't even notice I was already crying.
She turned around,her face as beautiful as ever.I could look at her for hours...if it wasn't for her enormous gash in her chest from one of Voldemort's werewolf friend.She bled to death,I was there when it happened.And I hated myself for not doing anything about it.
She sadly smiled back at me as if she was gonna cry.She had no tears,but if she did,she would have let them flow.
It came naturally.I started to sprint my way to her,wanting her embrace that I have missed very much.Her open arms invited me.
But we can't.Because as soon as I reached her,I passed through.And the cold feeling pierced through my heart from the provoked desire to have her in my arms once again.I only ended up hugging myself.

(A/n:Lol...I'm sorry.I just had to.😂😂😂)
I faced her once more and I tried so desperately to touch her.And the more I realise I couldn't,the more I felt my heart falter.
"I'm so sorry,Draco,"she said,pretending to brush her fingers on my cheeks.
"Don't be.It's all my fault.I'm the one who should be sorry,"I replied.
"Don't blame yourself,I told you that.It was me that chose to take that hit for you...just so you could live."
"How could I live without you?Sure,I came this far.But it was terrible,"I fired.
"Terrible?You had a family.How can you not be happy when I am for you?"she retorted,"Did you not love them?"
That shut me up.It gave me time to realise what was truly happening and the questions flooded my mind.And so,I started to speak again.
"All these years,you've been here and you never told me.Why have you not come?Why did you stay here?"I interrogated.
"I wanted to,Draco.When I had the choice to stay or go,I only thought of you.I wanted more time with you.But when I realised it,I was too late.I had chosen to stay only to know that I could only watch from afar.If I did tell you,and stayed with you in the manor,would you have married?You'll never be happy around me.I know you love me...but I'm dead.Who was I to drag you down into the misery I had to face for the rest of time?"she explained.
"We could've worked it out,"I whispered.
"We couldn't have.It's unnatural to have a ghost for a wife.For all we know,you foul' we killed yourself,too."
"I would.I will...for you,"I cried.
"Shut up,Draco!Don't you realise what's happening?It's tempting you,it's bewitching you.How could you think of this when you have a son that needs you more than I do!?"
She was right,as usual.The pain was driving me crazy.
"I could always wait for you on the other side,"y/n told me in a sweet,calm voice,"I've been here for nineteen years.If I had to wait forever,I would.Just please,for Scorpius's sake.Be strong like the person I know you are."
"I love you,I still do.This could only mean that I'm visiting quite often,"I assured her.
"And I love you,Always."
One day,y/n.We're gonna be together for real.And when that time comes,I'll never let you go.
"Uhhhmmm,guys,"Scorpius butts in,"You know I'm still here,right?"
Sorry if it took so long for me to update...exams are coming and you know how it is.And I did a Fanart...but not a Draco one,I'm sorry.But I think some of you will recognise her.Presenting,YouTube's The Bakeey.She's a Slytherin and I love her so much...but I'm still making that Draco Fanart,though...just wait.Sorry for the typographical errors,please don't forget to vote,comment,and share.Follow me,too!!😊😊😊😊😊😱😱😘😘😘☺️☺️
