Engaged to a Malfoy

Last Task

Chapter 42: Last Task

My eyes opened then I quickly sat up.

I'm in my room.

But who took me here?

"Oh, you're awake." A voice said.

"Draco." I said. "Why am I- who took me here?"

He smirked. "Me. Obviously. I went looking for you after you ran away. Granger told me that you're in the Gryffindor common room, so I went there and brought you here. Now," he walked to me. "How are you feeling?"

"Empty." I croaked out.

"Y/N," he hugged me. "I really am sorry."

"You don't have to be," I said then stood. "You're not the one who murder my parents.
Now tell me, why are you wearing a fancy suit?" I asked, pointing at his suit.

"The last task, Y/N." He said.

"Oh right," I walked to the closet then grabbed two dresses. "Which one?"

He hummed. "The black one is nice."

"You sure?" I asked. "The red one is nice too."

"The black one, so that our outfit will match."

Then I remembered something.

"Hello Draco- what are you wearing?" I asked.

"Clothes, Y/N. Ever heard of that?" He asked.

"But why the same colour?" I asked.

"Why not? Besides, it's cool. We both match! Now people will know that we're best friends forever." He said then grabbed my hand.

"Okay fine." I said.

"Cool!"

"Earth to Y/N?" Draco snapped his fingers at me.

I quickly snapped out of my daze. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said go try it on." He said.

I blushed in embarrassment. "Alright." I said then walked to the bathroom.

Draco held my hand as we make way to the stands.

I soon spot Cedric looking nervous.

"I'll catch up with you guys later," I said then let go of Draco's hand.

Draco frowned. "Why?"

"I just want to wish my friend good luck. I'll see you guys later." I said.

Draco huffed. "Fine."

"What are you? Eleven?" I asked then rolled my eyes playfully.

Now his frown is replaced by his signature smirk. "In a scale of one to ten, of course I'm an eleven."

"Whatever. See ya later!" I said then went to Cedric.

I tapped on his shoulder. "Cedric?"

He turned then smiled. "Oh! Hello, Y/N!"

I hugged him. "Last task. You can do it!"

He chuckled. "I know. Fast, right?"

I smiled.

But why do I have this feeling like someone's gonna get in danger?

"Good luck, Cedric. After this, we're hosting a celebration! A big one!" I said.

"Oh, please." He joked.

I laughed. "Come back alive. You must come back alive!"

"I will, I promise." He said then kissed my forehead. "You're like a sister to me, Y/N, and I'm utterly grateful."

"And you're like a brother to me. Good luck, Ced." I said.

"You should go. Malfoy's probably looking for you." He said then waved.

"Goodbye." I said.

"This isn't goodbye, Y/N. I'll see you hosting my 'celebration' later." He said.

"Of course." I said then went back to Draco.

———

We all clapped when Harry and Cedric came back.

Just then, the clapping stopped. Gasps and screams are heard.

"HE'S BACK!" Harry cried, clutching onto Cedric's body- Wait, Cedric? Why isn't he moving? "HE'S BACK! VOLDEMORT'S BACK! CEDRIC- H-HE ASKED ME TO BRING HIS BODY BACK! I-I CAN'T LEAVE HIM!"

No. That can't be.

"No..." I shook my head then stood. "NO!" I yelled.

"Y/N," Draco pulled me by the arm.

"That can't be true!" I yelled. "He promised!"

"Y/N." Draco called once again.

I began to cry. "Why does this always happen to me?"

"Let me through! That's my son!" Mr. Diggory cried, walking to his son's dead body.

Mr. Diggory began to cry. "That's my boy!"

I sobbed on Draco's shoulder. "Please tell me it's just a dream."

It just hurts.

He promised to come back. Alive.

I'm crying. This is sad:((((
