The Boy Who Fell in Love

Chapter 23- Battle

"Are you going to class today?" Hermione asked as she put on her robe. I shook my head.

I haven't gotten out of bed, except to eat in 2 days. Terrified that he might show up at anytime. Only people that I have been talking to are Hermione, Ginny and Draco when I go eat.

"You need to get out of bed at some point. We're all getting worried." Ginny said sitting at the edge of my bed.

"I'll go take a walk down by the river then." I said sitting up.

"Alone?" Hermione remarked.

"I'll be fine. Don't tell Draco." I looked between them. They both nodded and left for their classes.

After about half an hour I got out of bed and put on leggings and a jumper. I grabbed a book and started to head down to the river. There was classes going on so not many students were in the halls.

"Hey Y/N, wait up." A voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw Dean running towards me.

"Hey Dean, I'm actually heading down-" I started to say.

"I heard about what happened or what's going to happen." He said rubbing the back of his neck.

"How?" I asked bringing my book to my chest.

"It's kinda been going around. With you missing class and all every one thought you and Malfoy broke up but he kinda broke down and went off on Pansy one day during class and said a little too much I guess." He said looking at me.

I looked at him confused. Draco or anyone else said nothing to me about that. I'm guessing Pansy was probably flirting with him if people were talking about us breaking up, the thought made me kinda mad.

"Oh um yeah." I said with a shrug.

"Just know we're all here for you and got your back." He smiled at me.

"Thanks Dean." I smiled back.

"Have a nice day. Be careful down at the river." He said with a wink before running off. I laughed and kept walking down to the river.

When I got down to the river I found a tree stump and sat down. I started to read my book but then my mind started to wonder. All I've been doing these few days is thinking and remembering.

Remembering the first time I met Hermione on the train to Hogwarts sitting with Neville in a compartment and him losing his toad. Late nights in the library with Hermione messing around. Dancing with Neville at the Yule Ball.

Meeting Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor table on the first day. Ron introducing the twins to us and talking about quidditch. Harry teaching me how to fly a broom. Ron and I stuffing our faces with treats every chance we got. Fred teaching me to play quidditch. George telling him he's teaching me wrong.

Meeting Dean and laughing about the most random things in front of the fire in the common room every night for the first 2 years. Watching as Seamus burned his eyebrows off his facing and laughing about it for weeks.

Meeting all the Weasleys the last day of school and Mrs Weasley inviting me to come see them that summer if I ever got lonely at the orphanage.

Meeting Ginny a couple weeks later when I went to the burrow and spent the summer there. Ginny and I staying up at all hours of the night talking and laughing. Her telling me all the time she always loved me as a sister.

Mr Weasley and I asking Harry about all these muggle things. I was always interested in learning about them. Then one lovely holiday second year Mrs Weasley asked me if I wanted to come live with them and I couldn't have been more happy. When I would help Mrs Weasley in the kitchen as she would yell at the boys.

Hermione, Ginny and I staying up all night in our dorm gossiping and talking about boys. Hermione helping us with our school work. Ginny talking about quidditch.

Then of course running into Draco the second I got of the train for Hogwarts for the first time. Laughing and smiling together. Later on meeting down at this river to talk about everything that was on our minds and slowly falling in love with this boy. Watching him play quidditch even tho I was supposed to be cheering for Gryffindor.

At this point I had tears running down my cheeks. Knowing I might never see them again hurts me, I always made sure they were all happy before myself. They were all my family that I never had and I knew I would do anything to protect them.

I was broken out of my thought from footsteps slowly approaching me. I figured the girls or Dean told Draco I was down here so I sighed and wiped my cheeks.

"Draco I told the girls not to tell you." I said without turning around and looking down at my book.

I heard a little chuckle, "wrong Malfoy deary." The person said. I quickly sat up straight and my eyes went wide. I closed my book and put my hand on my wand slowly turning around.

Standing just a few feet in front of me was Lucius Malfoy. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest and my breathy started to get heavy. I looked around hoping someone would see but then I remembered everyone was in class and I was alone. Where are the twins when you need them.

"H-how did you find me?" I stuttered. I still had my hand on my wand but not taking it out of my jumper.

"You don't think I'd be able to take the spell your silly parents put on you?" He laughed stepping closer. I fumbled back a little.

"You look awfully like your mother. Draco could do better." He said giving me a disgusted look. He started to get closer and I was nearly at the edge of the river.

"Impedimenta!" I yelled quickly pointing my wand at him. He flew back and I quickly ran closer to the castle.

"Expelliarmus!" He yelled from behind me knocking my wand out of hand. I stopped and tried to grab it but I was too late. He picked up my wand with his wand pointing right at me.

"Silly girl. Just like your mother. Stupid." He laughed as he got closer. He got close enough to where I was right against the castle and his want was on my throat.

"At least she was smart enough to leave you." I mumbled through my teeth. He gave me a surprised look then got really angry.

He lifted his wand slowly and said I spell I couldn't make out and suddenly I flew through the wall onto the ground. Everything started to go dark. I heard people running towards me and others gasping.

"Avada..." Lucius started to say above me but got cut off.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Someone yelled cutting him off, Draco. I saw a flash go through the darkness and then it was completely dark and I couldn't hear anything anymore.

This is it.
