The Half-Blood Prince

Dear Draco,

I'll blame those grey eyes of yours for doing this. No, I'll blame those dimples of yours that I rarely got to see. Maybe I'll blame that summer when you made me a picnic and looked at me like I was the only girl in the world.

There are a thousand and one things I could blame. But that one last reason, is you.

I blame you.

We never sat at the Astronomy Tower and whispered heartfelt nothings to each-other like I wish we could of. There are a lot of things I wish we could of done, Draco.

I vividly remember you telling me you loved me, though. When my world crumbled around me, you were the one and only thing that saved me from ending my life. I wouldn't be here writing this letter to you now if you didn't save me. You are the most angelic, gorgeous man I've ever met. The way you made...make me feel is like no ordinary feeling.

But, you hurt me. You hurt me so bad. You kept things from me. You lied to me. You never opened up to me when I needed you to. You never put me first. You never kissed me first.

So it hurts to know that the last time I'll ever see your face, was when you had tears streaming down it.

I'll never see you again Draco. But you will always have a very important place in my heart. I'll always remember you as the boy who saved me. You loved me deep down, didn't you? I hope you did. Because I loved you more than life itself.

I needed to say goodbye before I left, but I couldn't bare to see you in person. So, I've cowardly wrote you this letter.

Don't come looking for me. Don't ask about me. Don't worry about me.

I won't be anywhere you'd guess, because I can't go to the places we used to go to, 'cause I still fucking love you, Draco.

- Stoney.

The parchment in her sweaty hands was starting to crumple from how tight she was holding it. Ink was smeared from the tears interrupting the words.

When y/n woke up the next morning, she didn't feel anything at all. No hatred, no anger, no sadness, certainly no happiness. She knew what happened the previous night between her and Theo, but more importantly, what happened between her and Draco.

How could she continue like this?

Practically everybody around her had left, or were never really there. It seemed like most were just barely tolerating her, not caring if she was there or not. She'd lost Pansy her bestest friend, and that really fucking hurt.

Loosing Draco was the last straw.

Without thinking twice, y/n folded the parchment in half and headed for the boys dormitories. Her shoes echoed in the empty halls, but the blood rushing in her ears muted it. The sun was starting to shine on the grounds, and she stopped for a second.

She stopped and looked out onto the grounds and reflected on the past three years. All the arguments, the times the group would turn up to lessons drunk, running around the halls with Draco in the early hours, sneaking out to Hogsmeade, the list was long.

I'm really gonna miss this place.

Y/n continued walking to Draco's dorm and wiped the tears from her cheek with her sleeve. As she approached his door, her heart was close to shattering.

He's behind this door. I could rip up this note and run back to him with open arms. All would be okay again if I just opened the door...

Stop. You have to do this.

She crouched down and slid the note under the door and turned on her heel.

It was around six in the morning when she'd finally packed all her things up. She'd given her letter to Draco, and left one for Hermione asking her to take her owl as Draco would most likely try to write.

Y/n took one last look in her mirror. That same mirror she looked into on her very first day.

~FLASHBACK (chapter 1/4)~

Y/n looked in the mirror and looked at her uniform. A white buttoned blouse, black pencil skirt and her silk slytherin robe. Her tie was styled loosely around her chest. Her hair was in loose curls at the end, she applied simple makeup with a shine of lip gloss. She fastened her black small heels and smirked.

This is who the fuck I am.

This is where I fucking belong.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Hogwarts had treated her well, but all good things come to an end.

Draco groaned as he woke up from one of the worst nights sleep. His mind was racing with thoughts of y/n all night. He'd already made up his mind what he was going to do. He was going to get today over with, then not give up on her, even if it was the last thing he'd ever do.

He sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed, and looked at the parchment on the floor. Draco got up and walked over and picked up the note.

Dear Draco,

I'll blame those grey eyes of yours for doing this. No, I'll blame those dimples of yours that I rarely got to see. Maybe I'll blame...

...I'll never see you again Draco.

His heart stopped. He couldn't believe what he was reading.

No words or feelings could describe that feeling he had when he read it.

Harry was woken up by several hard bangs at his door. He sat up, fumbled around for his glasses and opened the door. Draco burst in and paced around the room.

"Dra- what are you doing? How did you-

"She's gone" He whispered.

"Who?"

"Y/n."

"How do you know?" He asked, now feeling worried. Draco chucked the letter in his direction and continued pacing around like an animal in a zoo.

Harry's hands stiffened then trembled. He felt the sickening feeling in his chest as he continued to read. He turned to Draco.

"The fuck did you do to her Draco?" He spat.

"I-I had to break up with her I can't be with her at the moment-

"MY SISTER IS MISSING! BECAUSE OF YOU!" He screamed. Draco's face was scrunched as he heard the words. Normally, he would argued with Potter, it was his favourite thing to do.

But not when it came to her.

"Just, please, help me find her Potter" He pleased desperately.

Harry thought for a moment on where she could be. Not at The Burrow, not at home, maybe she'd gone to...

"I think I know where she is."

Draco tried not to burst into tears. "Then go. Please go. I can't loose her Harry."

*

Y/n was surprised at how many times she'd apparrated within a few weeks without getting splinched.

It was still early when she got to Godric's Hollow, around nine. People were bustling about in the town, in and out of local shops. They all looked fairly friendly, to which she smiled back at those who smiled at her.

After a while of walking around the snowy grounds, she headed to the cemetery. It was very quiet up near the church, she was happy nobody was around. She saw the grave and walked over to it, kneeling infront.

"Hi mum" She started with a shaky breath.

"I don't know what to do mum. I love this boy so much, yet he repetitively hurts me. I...I left him a letter telling him that I'd never see him again but, I really regret it. He's not a bad person mum, he looks after me. The letter was so harsh I-I didn't mean it."

Tears were stinging in her ears as her throat started to burn.

"I wish you were here mummy. I bet you've been looking over me for years hating me. Hating I'm in Slytherin and that I didn't even up with some 'good boy' like Fred."

Y/n pulled out her wand and created an rose made out of ice, and placed it in-front of the headstone. She wiped her tears and looked at Lily's name for a minute.

"That's not true."

Harry knelt beside her and looked at the rose. Y/n burst into tears and collapsed onto harry, burying her head on his jumper.

"I've been a terrible sister" She choked. Harry put his arm around her tightly for comfort.

"I feel like you should have this. It doesn't last long, and it might not work" He told her.

Y/n sat up and wiped her face, and Harry gave her a very small stone.

"What is it?"

"It's called the resurrection stone. You can speak to somebody who has passed. Like I said, it might not work but it's worth a try."

The pair of them stood up. She held it anxiously, waiting for something to happen. "Close your hand over it y/n" Said Harry.

Tightly in the palm of her hand, y/n squeezed it shut. A blurry figure appeared in-front of her.

"Mum?"

"Hello sweetheart" Lily spoke softly. Her hair was long, her eyes were bright, the same colour as y/n's and Harry's.

"Mum I'm so sorry-

"We don't have long, so don't waste it. I hear what you tell me. I'm so proud of you because you're you. And Harry? Not once have you failed me. I love you both so much." Harry and y/n had one arm around each-other and smiled.

"About the boy, y/n. Don't give up on him. I see things you don't, and I know he cares about you more than I can tell you. He's made mistakes yes, but haven't we all? Are you really going to give up on the one boy who would give you every last thing on this earth? You won't believe me, but he worships the ground you walk on. Take Draco Malfoy into your arms again and hug him so tight he couldn't possibly let go if he wanted to."

"Okay I will, I will. I love you, I'm sorry about Father-

"Don't speak of him. Move on with your life y/n."

"You'll be here with me whilst I do so?"

"Until the end."

And just like that, Lily faded away in the air. Neither Harry or y/n said a word, they stood in the same spot and held each-other.

*

As it started to get dark, the pair were sat on a bench, drinking warm butterbeer.

"I need to leave. Dumbledore needs me today. Are you coming?" Harry asked. Y/n was so busy enjoying her time with her brother she forgot about why she actually came.

She didn't need to think on it anymore, her Mother had made up her mind for her.

"I'm coming back. I can't just run from him, you know? Mum told me what I need to hear."

Harry smiled and stood up, put the two drinks in the bin and held his hand out to pull his sister up.

"You ready to apparate again?" He laughed.

"Yeah, Harry?"

"Yes?"

"Thankyou for being the best brother."

They landed on the hard floor at the Astronomy Tower. They stood for a minute, trying to ease the dizziness.

"I really have to go, Dumbledore really needs me today. Where will you be when I get back? I want to make sure you're okay" Said Harry.

"I'll come find you later."

"If that blonde git causes you any trouble, you know the hex spell" Harry winked, then turned on his heel.

Y/n decided it would be best to speak to Draco tomorrow.

He's angry right now, leave him be.

She sat at the Astronomy Tower, looking at the castle. The orange sun was setting, reflecting on the bricks. It was peaceful for a while, to sit at look at her home.

For the next few hours, y/n was sat leant up against the wall, thinking about the past few weeks. Recently it had been hard to process what had happened, but slowly she was coming to terms with it.

She was ready to move on. To get through seventh with her brother and her boyfriend, then move away.

Far, far away. With Draco.

They'd live in a huge castle. Or a small cottage? In the middle of nowhere. Or by the sea? They'd have no children. Maybe three? Two girls and one boy. No. No children. They'd live happily ever after like all the stories you read. Together, in each others arms. That's how y/n's and Draco's story would go.

Well, that's how she wanted it to go.

Just as she was starting to doze off, a loud noise came from across the tower. Harry came running over.

"Harry!" She squealed and stood up.

"You don't have time to walk back to your dorm. You need to hide" He frantically told her.

"What? What's going on?"

"Y/n, listen to me. You need to hide below. Say nothing. Don't let them know you're here." He took hold of her shoulders. "Trust me, hide."

Y/n listened and ran down the stairs. She hid under the top floor boards. Nobody was there, she had no idea where Harry went. She saw a silver fabric, Dumbledore's gown. She was going to say something but the sound of the floorboards creaking above startled her.

"Good evening Draco. What brings you here on such a cold winters evening?" Dumbledore asked. Y/n covered her mouth with her hand.

"Who else is here?"

"Nobody. I like to talk to myself sometimes, don't you?" Dumbledore said cheerfully.

"Draco, you are no assassin!"

"How would you know what I am? Nothing that would ever shock you!" He spat. Y/n listened to the pain in his voice.

"Years ago, I knew a boy, who made all the wrong choices please let me help you."

"I don't want your help! Don't you understand? I have to do this, I have to kill you. Or he's gonna kill me" Draco's voice quivered.

"Forgive me, but I can't help but this you don't want this?"

"He trusts me! I was chosen!" Draco ripped back his sleeve to reveal his dark mark. A rattling noise came from behind him.

"There are others, how?" Dumbledore asked.

"The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement, I've been mending it. It forms a passage."

That's where he's been going.

"Please let me help you Draco-

"I don't want your help! He trusts me!"

From behind Draco, deatheaters came from the cabinet. Y/n couldn't see who it was, but she listened.

"Evening Bellatrix, I think introductions are in order don't you?" Said Dumbledore.

"I'd love to Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule. Come on Draco, now!" Bellatrix roared.

"He 'don't have the stomach. Just like his father" Said Scabior.

Hearing his voice made y/n sob out loud. She cried into her hand when she felt a tight hand grip her shoulder and drag her up the stairs.

"The Slytherin Princess has decided to join us. Do you wanna do it baby?" Bellatrix asked harshly. Y/n stood shocked, and looked at Draco.

It felt like time stopped when their eyes met. He was trying to focus on Dumbledore, but he couldn't take his eyes off her. What was she doing here he thought?

"You gonna do your daddy proud princess? No? Aunty in-law is disappointed." Bellatrix pouted.

"Go on Draco, now!"

"No."

Draco turned to see Snape stood behind him. Snape slowly walked up to where he was stood. As soon as Draco took a step back, y/n grabbed him by the arm and hugged him tight. Draco crushed her with his arms and sobbed.

"I love you I'm sorry" She whispered.

"I love you too" He whispered back.

"I promise you it'll be over soon and I can have you back." Draco squeezed her so tightly. "In an hour come to my room with me and I'll tell you everything."

"Okay. I love you so much."

Y/n met eyes with her father across the room and pulled away from Draco.

He smirked, rolled his eyes shook his head.

"Pathetic" He mouthed, and turned back to Dumbledore and Snape.

"Severus...please" Said Dumbledore.

There was a minute of silence. Y/n didn't know what was going on. She looked to Draco for help, but his eyes were glued to Snape.

"Avada Kedavra."

Dumbledore fell back from the tower.

Y/n couldn't even process what just happened. Bellatrix ran to where Albus had fell and cheered. Draco grabbed y/n's hand and tried to walk away before Scabior pulled them forward.

"Tut tut y/n, we had high hopes for you. So, are you coming with us, or are you going to get killed?" Bellatrix asked.

"Killed? What does she mean Draco?" She turned to him for help.

"Your boyfriend isn't quite done yet. You can either come with us and get the dark mark, or stay here and get killed along with your precious brother."

"What-no! I'll never go to your side!" She shouted at Bellatrix.

"You're no daughter of mine" Said Scabior from behind Bellatrix. She met his eye and grimaced.

"Say bye-bye to your precious little boyfriend y/n, you'll never see him again."

With that, Bellatrix yanked Draco away from her and they all apparatted.

Y/n collapsed against the floor and sobbed hard.

He'd been taken away from her forever. Just when she'd made up her mind.

She thought she was never going to see him again.

...and she was right.
