Harry Potter Oneshots

Draco Malfoy // No Longer Afraid

I slowly backed up, the converstaion getting faint as I tried to get closer to Hermione and Ron. I pushed the Snatcher who was holding Hermione, "Lay off, I've got her."

I grabbed her elbow, as I whispered to her, "You've destroyed the locket?"

She slowly nodded, and I glanced at Draco, making sure he was okay, "Listen now, my father has another one hidden in Bella-"

Bellatrix yelled suddenly, making me jump, "Ms. Riddle! Come here, princess. Tell us if this is Harry Potter and we can call your father and end this once and for all!"

I made my way towards I looked into Harry's green eyes and lied easily, "I do not know him. I've never seen him in my life."

"Ah, well, if Y/N says so I guess we've got the wrong one because she would never want to betray her father. " Draco quickly said, preventing anyone to say anything anymore.

"I-yes, although it does look like he's hit by a Stinging Hex. Give me her wand, let me see what her last spell was." Bellatrix looked at Hermione and then her eyes skimmed to the Snatcher standing near the bottom of the stairs. Her eyes widened and I looked at it and I gasped. The Sword of Gryffndor.

"Where'd you get that from?" Bellatrix glared at him, her breath ragged.

"It was in her bag when we searched up. Reckon it's mine now." The man said and I felt like hexing him until his brain had stopped functioning.

Bella, full of rage, whipped her wand, and set ropes the Snatcher's neck. All of them. Honestly, I thought she'd kill them all. The sword had been kept in her vault for reasons by Voldemort and seeing it out tipped her. "GET OUT, GET OUT!" She began yelling.

I took a step ahead to protect Hermione but she shot me a sharp glance, ordering me to stay back. Draco grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, "Stay down. Don't try anything otherwise we're both going to be in trouble."

I helplessly looked at Harry and Ron being dragged down by Peter Pettigrew and as Bella grabbed Hermione and interrogated her on the floor. I couldn't watch my own friends being tortured. Draco dragged me out of the room, into the nearest room and closed the door. I wriggled out of Draco's grip, "Y/N. Stop. You'll only make things worse."

I turned and buried my head in his chest, not wanting to let the tears spill, "I hate myself, I hate my father and I hate the fact that I can't help them. I hate that I'm afraid of my father."

"Stop. Everything will turn out fine. I'm here."

And those were the only comforting words I needed to hear over Hermione's bloody screams.

***********

Hardly had I told Harry about Rowena's tiara, when some stupid Death Eater interupted our conversation. Since then, I had no time to check if Harry had got the message. I would've done it myself, but I was helping out the teacher's, putting barriers on the school. It took some time, gaining the teachers' trust, but eventually it happened, all thanks to Dumbledore. Right now, Voldemort was under the impression that I was going to bring Harry to him. Heck, I wasn't. I was no longer afraid of him or of the consequences.

The battle had begun when I caught glimpse of the platinum-haired boy. I had gone in search of him and was now alone in the corridor. He ran towards me, and as soon as we were close, he placed his hands on either sides of my cheek, resting his forehead on mine. I grabbed the fabric of his shirt from his side and looked into his silver eyes.

"We're okay. This'll all be over soon." Draco said, stroking my cheek.

No. This won't end any time soon.

"Kiss me." I said, clutching his shirt tighter.

Draco pulled back slightly, searching my eyes, "What?"

"Kiss me." I repeated, "Kiss me before I lose my mind." I looked at him as he pressed his lips against mine without another question. I savoured the moment. This could be our first and last kiss.

He pulled me closer to him and I kissed him harder. We both pulled back. Draco looked at me with a serious expression, a small smile playing on his lips, "You better get out of this alive, Y/N. I want an explaination for this."

There was no way I was getting out of this alive. Once my father hears and realises my betrayal, there was no bloody way I would be kept alive. "Draco, you know-" I began, helplessly, tears stinging my eyes.

"No, stop. We are going to get through this, and we will make it out alive." Draco insisted and pulled back, whipping his wand out from his back pocket.

At that moment, all I could do was believe in whatever Draco said. Making it out of this together.
