Harry Potter Imagines

Forgive yourself...

"Draco Malfoy. You are more than the choices you have made. You are more than the sum of your past mistakes. Please, Draco, forgive yourself for this." I whisper into his ear. I am currently holding him against me in his room.

"B-but Thia. I've made so many mistakes.... So many of them were horrible. You know that I was told to kill Dumbledore...." He says softly. "I can't forgive myself for that. Or for anything that I've done."

"Baby. Yes you can. I know you can. Please? For me?" I say, running my hand through his hair. This has always comforted him, even for big things like this.

He pushes his body closer to mine and whispers something, but I don't hear him.

"What was that?" I ask, lowering my head to hear him better.

"Nothing.. Don't worry about it." He says, starting to get up. "But I'll try. But this fight, this war, it will be dangerous. We need to protect you at all costs okay? So even if I do forgive myself for everything with V-Voldemort, I will never, never, forgive myself if something happens to you because of this."

He takes my hand and helps me up. His face is streaked with tears and I can't help but tear up. He pulls me in for a hug and his arms are wrapped around me tightly.

"Please. I don't want either one of us getting hurt. Don't fight. We can stay here... Where it's safe. But if you fight, I fight." I say, trying to sound brave. But inside I'm breaking. Theres no way I can be brave when we are talking about our lives being on the line.

"No." Draco says firmly. "You're not fighting. Not if I have anything to say about it."

"Well you don't! If you fight, I fight!" I say loudly.

"No!" He yells.

I start to tear up and I storm out of his room. He should know better than to yell. The last time he yelled at me I didn't talk to him for two days.

I rush off to my room, where I know he can't come. But the next thing I know he walks in.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell baby. I just want you to be safe okay?" He says, trying to take my hand.

I pull it away, but decide to talk to him. "I understand you want me to be safe, but..... I want you to be safe too. So you're not fighting okay?"

"Okay."
