Forbidden love|| Percy Weasley

Chapter 62

I was standing just outside the door of my dorm looking on the floor while trying to find the proper words that could be used for me to say goodbye one more time to ginger. It hurt, it really did! But the thought of us finding a way to be together in the future was what gave me hope at that moment, and hope was one thing that I really needed more than anything at times like these

I heard him sigh silently before I felt his free hand that wasn't holding mine grabbing gently my chin and making me look at him

Percy: Believe me Ottie, I don't want to say goodbye either, but we have to, at least for now

He said, truly meaning his words, and I nodded, knowing that there wasn't anything we could do to prevent those hurtful goodbyes. Since I would walk into my dorm room, I won't be able to see ginger for Merlin knows how long, and it hurt like shit

Percy: I kind of have a plan on how to get you out of there, and before you start asking any questions, I want you to know that I am not going to answer any of them even if I want to 

He said, and I looked at him confused. What plan? And why I wasn't supposed to find out about it?

Percy: All you have to do is promise me that you won't draw any bad attention to yourself, and you will act like you are fond of the entire idea!

He said, and I became even more confused by his words trying to understand what he was trying to say

Y/n: What are you talking about?

I asked and he sighed looking at the floor again

Percy: Just promise me that you will pretend you are happy with the whole marriage idea until we get you out of there 

Y/n: What do you mean-

I asked, interrupting him, but he stopped me from asking any more questions while putting his hand on my mouth and then looked at me with a pleading look 

Percy: Just promise me that you will act the act 

He said, and that was the moment I realised that I had no other choice than to agree to his request and do as he asked me to even if I didn't know what he was planning, it seemed like I had to wait to find out

Y/n: Fine I promise that I won't draw any attention to myself and I act like I am happy even if I am not 

I said, and I stayed loyal to my words

When I graduated from college with flying colours I had to return to a place that didn't feel like home anymore, but I had no other choice than to return to a place where all it gave me was sadness. It was a few days after my return when the news of what happened at the final task of the Triwizard Tournament was finally published in the Daily Prophet

''Cedric Diggory is dead and The boy who lived makes up that You-know-who has returned!''

That was the title of every single newspaper I received the last week. There is no way that it was true! My old friend had died at the hands of the darkest wizard of all time! There is no way that there was any truth to it! It was a lie, a sick lie. That was what I kept saying to myself every single time I read the articles, and a part of me wanted to believe Fudge saying that Harry was lying, but the other one knew that Harry was indeed saying the truth.

My thoughts were proven to be correct when one day, while I was sitting in my bed with my eyes scanning the newest newspaper pages, I heard my name being called by my mother's voice asking me to join her in the living room. I put the paper on my bedside table while my instinct was telling me that something awful was happening on the floor under me, but I had no choice but to stand up and head downstairs. When I finally finished the last step of the staircases, I came across my mother standing outside my father's office looking at the opposite wall with an unhappy look on her face and her head resting against the white-painted wall next to the large wooden doors while looking lost in her thoughts. I cleared my throat quietly and her head immediately snapped my way before a fake smile appeared on her face, making it clear to me that something was indeed wrong
