Chapter 73

They have apparated to a small wizarding coastal town. The town was called "Malsbury Town".

There are many people in their stalls, selling fresh vegetables, meats, sweets, and flowers, and many are strolling around. It was quite to be determined a joyous town, it was like a festival, especially now that the Dark Lord have been defeated by the one and only Harry Potter.

Children are running around with ribbons and pinwheels on their hands, chasing each other. This made Draco feel happy, but he would be happier to see his beloved.

"What house does she stay in?" He asked William.

"She doesn't live in any of these houses." William told. "She leaves outside of this town. Therefore, she's lives nearby the sea, more nearby than here. Although, it'll just be a 10-minute walk from here. Come on." He began to walk.

Draco followed him as they went to a path that leads to the house where Y/n lives. Each of the path's sides was tall grasses, which are known as Pampas Grasses, as they swayed with the sea breeze.

The sea breeze hit their skins, the sound of waves calmed their ears, and it is no wonder why Y/n had chosen a house nearby the sea. The view itself is appealing to the eyes.

Draco had spotted a stoned cottage with flowers and other plants on the sides. It was the only cottage to be seen on the site and it doesn't look lonely, it is very much looking comfortable.

As they reached the cottage, William knocked on the door and waited for Y/n to answer. But there seems to be no one. He knocked and waited again, but there was still none. He looked through the window and there was no sign of her. He only saw the unfinished painting of a bouquet.

"Guess she was at the town, in the Orphanage." He told, looking back at Draco. "Her bicycle was not also here." He looked at where Y/n would place her bicycle. "Why don't we wait for her and stroll on the shore for a moment?"

Draco agreed as they both went down to the shore, taking a stroll.

"You must know that my sister loved you very dearly," William stated, throwing a pebble to the sea. "Although, she became upset when father took her away from you." He sighed. "Cried, had sleepless nights, ate less for weeks, barely got out of her bed and speak to us."

Draco looked as if he felt guilty for doing nothing to stop her father from separating them, but what can he do now when it is already done.

Their head both flinched as soon as they heard a dog barking and running to the cottage, and then they both saw Y/n riding a bike with flowers on the bike's basket and a smile on her face.

"Daisy!" She called her Samoyed Dog. "Do not run." She laughed.

Draco could not stop staring at her. He missed her. Oh, how much he wanted to embrace her now after months of not seeing each other. He was about to walk, but William had stopped him by holding his arm.

"You cannot just go and see her yet." He told.

"Why?" Draco questioned, already eager to hold his wife. "If there is any reason to stop me from seeing her-"

"She could not remember you." William blurted.

Draco's face paled. He could not believe what Y/n's brother was talking about. How could she not remember him? She could not just forget about him? He loves her and she loves him, he is aware of that.

"How can she not?"

"She was obliviated." Told William.

"What?" Draco looked at him with distress in his eyes.

"She was obliviated." He told him once again. "It was her request after she—" He stopped for a moment. "After she had lost her and your child."

Draco's face looked quite stunned, hearing William talking about Y/n's miscarriage of their child, which he didn't know she was carrying.

"She feels guilty of not knowing that she's carrying your child, Draco. If only you saw what she looked like when she lost the baby. She wished that if only she knew she was a month pregnant, she would have taken care of the child." He added, tone of sadness lacing his voice. "It pains her...for losing her child. What pains her more is that she only has small chances of producing a child. We just knew when the Healer told us, and the healer had also told us that she just got lucky when she was able to produce on the first time the both of you had done it."

Draco wanted to cry, but he's holding his tears back. It hurts him to hear her brother's statement, especially when he had said that she only has low chances to have children. He knew how much she wanted to have children of her own and now...she may not have any.

"Draco, the reason why she wanted to be obliviated is that she wanted to forget the pain that she could not handle and because she thought that she cannot have you anymore. And now, father had brought her here to avoid her from seeing you because if she stayed there for long, father fears that she'll remember you and her unforgettable pain." William continued. "But I think my father's thoughts were wrong. I think she'll be happy to see you, if and only if, she remembers you. You have to make her remember you, Draco. You have to."
