The Deathly Hallows

"Don't talk t' me kid. 'Av got nothing to say to you" Scabior grumbled as they walked at a fast pace through the forest.

"Why would I want to talk to you? Fucking prick" Draco spat back.

He chuckled. "You won't be talking like tha' when your pretty little girlfriend's dead."

"At least she would of died knowing the truth! Fucking worthless piece of shit-

Scabior grabbed Draco's shoulders and slammed him up against a large tree. His face was twisted with anger.

" 'Er Mam's dead, int she? She's got nobody. The Dark Lord will kill 'er. Hopefully, he'll kill you too, blood traitors, pair of 'ye." He flung his arms off Draco and continued walking.

Draco had never been called something like that before, and it hurt. All his life, he worked so hard to make his Father proud. It's all he cared about, he'd call people mudbloods just to make himself feel like he was doing his Father a favour.

It didn't matter. She mattered to him more than stupid blood purity.

'Skinny Love' By Bon Iver was playing on the small crackly radio in the tent. Y/n was sat in a pile of blankets fiddling with her wand listening to the words.

'and in the morning I'll be with you,

but it will be a different kind,

and I'm holding all the tickets,

and you'll be owning all the fines.

come on skinny love, what happened here?'

She closed her eyes and let the pain in her heart take over. It became extremely painful, feeling nothing but heavy-hearted.

They'd been stuck in the same place for seven weeks. Forty-nine days. Every day was the same; She'd wake up to Ron and Hermione arguing, put on a fire as they played around with the Horcrux Harry got from the Ministry the previous week. Often y/n and Hermione would try search for more, but were always unsuccessful.

As she listened to the radio, it fizzled into a dark cold voice. Ron heard it from outside the tent and ripped the zip of the tent open. He knocked over two mugs as he stumbled as quickly as he could to the radio.

"Merlin Ron you-

"Shut up!" He shouted. Ron held the radio to his ear even though it was on full volume.

"Here is the list of the names of wizards and witches who are currently missing" The voice from the radio began.

Y/n rolled her eyes and started to stand up, but Harry and Hermione came rushing in the tent aswell.

"For fuck sake Ron turn it off!" Harry spat. Ron ignored him.

"It calms him Harry, leave it" Whispered Hermione.

"It sets my teeth on edge." Harry stormed over to Ron and ripped the radio from his arms.

"Give it back Harry!"

"No! It makes all of us anxious!"

"What if my family are dead? I would have no idea now give it-

Ron tried to grab the radio from Harry, who held it in the air. They scrambled as Hermione tried to tear them apart. Ron was aggressively pushing Harry trying to get the radio. Y/n watched the childish boys in disgust.

The radio flew from Harry's grip and landed on the floor in a broken heap. Without thinking twice, Ron launched for Harry, tackling him to the floor.

"Stop! Stop it boys!" Hermione screeched from afar. The boys continued to hit eachother until Harry pushed him off, causing Ron to fall hard.

"You're not gonna win Harry. Give up now" Ron spat harshly, before wiping the blood off his chin and storming out of the tent.

Hermione kneeled down to Harry and attended to his cuts. "The necklace. It's why he's saying all this. He doesn't mean it Harry."

"At least that poxy radio is broken" He muttered.

Y/n wasn't sure what to say to either of the boys, so she turned around and laid on the cold floor resting her eyes.

"Y/n" Hermione approached with caution a few hours later. "You haven't eaten anything yet. Do you want some soup I made?"

"I'm good" She replied lazily. Hermione hovered for a moment, before giving up and going back outside.

As the outside grew colder, y/n felt awful. She was freezing cold, starving and overtired. The boys were outside trying to destroy the necklace. Hermione was sat at the table constantly reading different texts, trying to figure out something.

Giving in, she stumbled out of her depression pit and headed outside to find the boys. Ron and Harry were arguing, again.

"Surely Dumbledore would of told you something worth while!" Ron shouted.

"I told you everything Dumbledore told me!"

"Well it's clearly not enough!"

"Fuck off Ron, I don't need you right now" Harry spat. Ron grunted and went in the tent to find Hermione.

"Hey" Y/n whispered, perching on the edge of the wooden log.

"Hi y/n" He replied coldly. She didn't know what to say, everybody was in low moods. Eventually Harry stalked back into the tent, leaving y/n out by herself.

She got up from the log and sat up against it, not caring about the dirty ground and looked up at the stars. They waved back, twinkling.

I wonder if he's watching them, wherever he is.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps on leaves in the distance and her heart stopped. Extremely slowly, she stood up and walked up the edge of the enchanted bubble. She squinted, trying to make out the black figure she could see ever so slightly.

'It's just some sort of animal' She thought to herself.

But the 'animal' stood deadly still.

And turned around.

"What's that...smell" He said in a grimacing way.

Y/n's eyes widened when she saw her Father's face. She took a deep breath, filling up her lungs completely and didn't move a muscle.

Scabior raised one eyebrow, and walked over to the direction of the enchantment bubble. Y/n closed her eyes, realising this was it.

They'd been caught.

He stood still directly in-front of her. He breathed in, using his hands to waft the smell towards him.

"Oi, ferret, you smell tha' too?" Scabior asked.

Ferret? But that's Drac-

Her eyes opened quickly to see the blonde boy stood sheepishly behind her Father.

Y/n felt it in her stomach.

That feeling.

She wanted to break the barrier and run into his arms. Hold him. Tell him she's alive. Tell him she loves him. They run away together and start a new life. Leave all this behind. Tell him life is hell without him.

Yet she stood deadly still. One noise, and it's over.

"Smells like perfume to me. Probably you" Scabior grunted and walked off, shouting for Draco to follow.

But he could smell it too.

Carefully, he walked towards the bubble and stood in the same place Scabior was stood. The realisation on his face when he realised what the smell was. Draco's grey eyes went wide as his face drained in colour. Her heart was hammering in chest, she was scared he'd he able to hear it.

He looked like he wanted to say something.

Y/n looked like she wanted to say something.

She considered whispering something to him like 'I'm okay' or 'I love you' just so he knew, but it wouldn't of been smart. He could of been blinded by Voldemort and could of actually been hunting for her.

She shook her head slightly to shake out all the thoughts and looked into those eyes she was longing to see so desperately. Draco's feet were glued to the same spot, he didn't want to leave her like his life depended on it. It's like he knew.

If she looked close enough, she would of been to see his lips quiver. But her eyes couldn't be taken off his.

"Oh for fuck sake Malfoy, hurry the fuck up!" Scabior spat. Draco flinched at his voice and turned to him. He nodded slightly, looked back one more time and hurriedly followed Scabior so he wouldn't get suspicious.

When the pair were out of sight, she dropped her breath and bit her lip hard holding in the tears. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to steady her breathing.

Stop crying, you're here to help the others, not make it all about you.

As she tried to compose herself, Hermione didn't say one word. She just put her arms around her tightly and let y/n cry.

And she did. She cried so very hard, on the floor, in the middle of nowhere, in Hermione's arms.
