Always and Forever

Chapter 73:

After a while of Draco hugging me I pulled away, "We need to get the babies and make sure they're okay." I looked around and saw the students still grouped up around us and the group of Death Eaters were all whispering. I started walking towards the school when I felt a huge jolt of pain spread throughout my body. I dropped down to my knees and then everything went black. Then everything was white, and I was standing in a huge room that kind of looked like King's Cross.

I noticed someone sitting on a bench a little ways from me so I started towards them. They looked up at me, "Headmaster? What are you doing here? Where am I?" He patted the spot next to him and I sat down. "Hello Miss. Parker. I can assume you're very confused?" I nodded my head.

"If you haven't figured it out already, you've died." I gasped and my heart beat sped up and my eyes burned with tears. "No, there's no way. What about Draco? And the babies?" He placed his hand on my shoulder and looked at me. "They'll be fine and you will be too. If Draco happens to find the Resurrection Stone that was slipped into his pocket before all of this you'll see each other again."

I took a deep breath and prayed for Draco to find it soon. "Where are we?" He looks around with awe in his eyes. "King's Cross. It must be something very important to you if this is where the afterlife has brought you." I smiled and a tear trickled down my cheek. "King's Cross was the place Draco met my parents and when I first fell in love with him." He gave me a small smile and I felt okay. I just had to wait for Draco to find the stone and then I'd see him again.

DRACO'S POV:

We started walking back towards the school when I saw a flash of green to my right and then Skye froze, dropping down to her knees and then falling on the ground. I ran over to her and caught her head before she fell. I look up with tears in my eyes to see my father holding his wand out. How could he do this to me? I stood up and walked over to him. "Draco. This was for the best. That girl is just holding you back from all the great things you could do."

All the built up anger that's been building was busting at the seams, "How do you know what's best for me? Out of all the times you could have seen it, you see it now? Yea she's holding me back, but she's keeping me safe and alive and she's doing it for a good reason. Because I'm better than what you want me to be. Over the past year I've learned more about love than you'll ever know. Because I had someone to show me what it was. I had someone to love me when you didn't."

My vision was blurry from tears building up and I blinked them away. " 'That girl'," I said making air quotes around it, "Is the best thing that's ever happened to me. If it wasn't for her you wouldn't even have a son." His expression never changed. He just stood there scolding at me, "You chose this Draco. You knew what you were getting yourself into."

I scoffed, "I never chose this Father. Yes I knew what I was getting into, but I had no choice! You forced this on me so you could what? Live? You don't deserve to live. You don't deserve happiness. You don't deserve that happy ever after. Because if I don't get it, you certainly won't either." I held my wand out and shot a spell at him. He stumbled backwards gripping his chest and my mom ran to his side. I walked over to him and he was struggling to breathe.

I leaned down and looked him in the eyes, "You deserve to rot in hell." I watched as the life left his eyes, and my mother sobbed. I walked back over to Skye and dropped to my knees. I let out a sob and a scream, my body trembling with emotions. I grabbed her and laid her in my arms, "I'm so sorry. It should have been me. Please just come back, I can't live without you. I can't do this without you."

I shook her and she didn't wake. Her hand fell onto my pants pocket and I moved it away, holding it. But as I moved her hand I felt something hard in my pocket. I reached in and grabbed it out. It was a rock. Harry and Hermione rushed over to me. Harry grabbed the rock out of my hand and Hermione pulled me in for a hug. Harry was examining the rock and I rolled my eyes. "It's just a dumb rock Potter."

He shook his head, "No. This is the resurrection stone."
