The year that changed it all

The Malfoy Manor and Dobby

Harry's POV

-----------------

It's been months now since I have seen Draco. Hermione, Ron and I left Hogwarts on a quest to find the rest of the horcruxes. So far we have destroyed Tom Riddle's Diary, the locket, and the ring was destroyed by Dumbledore.

Ron and Hermione are still not on great terms with each other but right now, that is the last thing I need to worry about. I am still getting visions and now I am getting them during the day too, not just when I am asleep.

Hermione insisted that we go and see Luna and her father. When we got there, Luna's father let us in but Luna herself was nowhere to be seen. We asked Mr Lovegood if he knew what the strange symbol meant. The one we kept seeing. He told us that it is the Deathly Hallows sign, and he then told us about the tale of the three brothers.

One had gotten the elder wand, one had gotten the resurrection stone, and the last one got an invisibility cloak. Just like mine.

Suddenly, Mr Lovegood started to panic and insisted we stayed for more tea. We were all really confused until death eaters started showing up. He had ratted us out because he wanted to get Luna back. They had taken Luna. That's why she wasn't there with him.

We quickly apperated away from there and I knew we had to go and save Luna and whoever else that got taken too.

-----

We were being chased through the forest by a group of snatchers. Among them were Fenrir Greyback and Scabior.

They were catching up to us and all of a sudden, Hermione hit me with a spell that made my face go all puffy and weird.

Suddenly, we were headed straight for the Malfoy Manor instead of the ministry. I was really dreading this because not only did I know Bellatrix was going to be here, I also knew Draco would be here too.

I have been trying not to think about him up till now but it is hard when the last thing I think about each night before I sleep is how Draco looked when Bellatrix told him to kill Dumbledore. He obviously didn't want to do it but it's too late now to go back.

We got brought inside the Manor and we were greeted by Bellatrix alongside Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco Malfoy. I tried my best not to look at Draco but he looked so unwell and unhappy that I couldn't help but care. No- I am still angry at him.

Bellatrix insisted I come to her. So I did. She held me by my hair, tilting my head up as I was kneeling down on the floor. She then called for Draco to come over to check if I was the real Harry. He was slowly walking towards me before his father had stopped him and was telling Draco about how proud Voldemort would be if they were the ones to turn me in. Scabiaor interrupted him by saying,

"Now, we won't be forgetting who actually caught them will we Mr Malfoy."

Lucius started shouting at Scabior before Narcissa pulled him away. Draco genuinely looked scared when his father was shouting.

After that Bellatrix willed him to walk closer to me. He slowly walked closer and knelt down so he was at my height and we were only a fer centimeters apart. Even though I hated him for what he did, I couldn't help but feel that warm feeling inside me when he came close to me. He looked me in the eyes for a few second before saying,

"What's wrong with his face?"

"Yes.. What is wrong with his face?" Bellatrix asked after him.

After another few seconds of looking at me, Draco said that he couldn't be sure if it was me or not. This confused me because I know he knew it was me. So why was he helping me?

A few things happened, Ron and I got stuck in a dungeon but we found Luna, Ollivander, and Griphook. We managed to break out with the help of Dobby and We saved Hermione from Bellatrix. Just before we escaped with Dobby, I grabbed our wands from Draco and I took his too. As we were apperating with Dobby, Bellatrix threw a dagger at us and it had gone through.

We apperated onto a beach and I saw Dobby slowly walking over to me. I ran up to him as he collapsed into my arms. I pulled the dagger out of him and he lay in my arms. I shouted to Hermione to see if she could help but she couldn't.

"Such a beautiful place, to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friends. Harry Potter." He said before he slowly stopped breathing.

Luna came over and closed his eyes for him. She said now it's just like he's sleeping.

"I want to bury him, properly, without magic." I stated.

Ron and Hermione helped me before going to the house by the beach. I stayed and sat with Dobby for a bit. I have lost yet another important person in my life.
