Third POV
Avery rested still in Malfoy Manor, he sat patiently in a nearby chair as he looked around at the room, gray painted walls with wooden posts created a abandoned look to the place, or the place where Voldemort resided as his office
Unfortunately it took place in Malfoy Manor, he looked at a hidden portrait of the family. Lucius trying to look regal with a pompous pose, his wife holding a maternal yet stare of riches, while their son who looked no younger than 12 stood in the middle trying to mimick Lucius
How silly
He thought annoyed and tapped is fingers on the wooden desk trying to calm his nerves
He heard the door open and stood up rapidly trying to impress his master. Voldemort walked into the room and passed the man ignoring him and signaled him to sit, which Avery did
"Have you talked with young Malfoy, Master?" Asked Avery
"I did, Bellatrix Lestrange is training him in Occlumency, making sure the boy is capable to carry out the task I handed him" he stated bluntly and looked to Avery
"Did young Malfoy tell you what he received from Scamander?" He asked curiously
"No my lord, I haven't contacted him due to being summer" he replied stumped as Voldemorts eyes peirced the man
"He was sent a letter, to talk about some matters of breaking off with one another. . . You know what this means?"
"That they will no longer be in a relationship?"
"No you buffon! It'll mean that the plan will fall apart if they differ from one another, the more into the light he goes the farther away he'll be to concur my prophecy" he exclaimed as Avery backed away from his angry master
Voldemorts hissed mutters of parseltounge a Nagini slithered into the room and began to go towards Avery slightly coiling around his legs
"Your still in charge to make sure everything goes smoothly.... I wouldn't want to harm my only connection to the boy" he replied as Nagini started to put pressure on Avery's legs causing the man to hold his grunt
"Let's not forget what I did to your relationship with a mudblood.. she didn't suffer, you should be a tad grateful for that" he stated as Avery felt his lungs tighten due to the snake
"I do everything for you.. my lord. I will. . Agh- Make sure it goes accordingly.." he whispered as his last breath started to diminish
"Relase him"
Avery was thrown to the ground, Nagini slithered next to her master as Voldemort petted her head watching Avery gasp for air
"Get out" commanded Voldemort making the man stumble out of the room closing it behind him as he panted trying to regain consciousness
"Is your little meeting with the Dark Lord as well as you imagined?"
Avery gritted his teeth and looked towards Severus who held a smug look at him
"I have no business talking to you. After all you sabotage me" He accused making Snape scoff
"I merely provided you with instructions and ingredients to prepare a concoction for the reversal of anti demon liquor. It is not my fault you failed potions as a wee lad" he replied sarcastically
"Well then, I bless you with a terrible curse to make your life hell. Then again your practically living it"
"How mature for a adult man.." he responded making Avery sneer at him and walk past Snape who looked back evidently annoyed
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(Y/n)
I'm tired of you avoiding me, you have to explain yourself when we get to Hogwarts, no letter will make me leave until I receive a clear explanation
- Malfoy
The (H/c) sighed as he threw the letter aside and looked towards the clock. In a few minutes Dumbledore should arrive to pick him up
To pass time (Y/n) grabbed the controller looking at the television that the Scamander residence had, he flipped between channels as he stopped at a muggle movie
"Sisters! All Hallows' Eve has become a night of frolic, where children wear costumes and run amok"
He chuckled at the interpretation of witches as three middle aged women were running around in a suburban neighborhood in awe
"The costumes are not right, but the hair and nose are" he heard Rolf state and looked back at him to see his brother packing some materials
"Your still leaving after graduating Hogwarts?" (Y/n) asked curiously
"No I'm actually going to camping, I do like packing everything for one day"
"Twat! You don't have to be sarcastic about it" he stated and threw a pillow at the man who caught it
"Actually... thank you (Y/n), I almost forgot to pack a pillow" he replied as the pillow was snatched from his hands by his Grandmother
"Nope, that's staying with the couches, I'll hand you a spare" she replied as
(Y/n) sighed and turned back to look towards the film
"(Y/n) are you ready?" He heard his Grandmother ask
"Yup already packed, just... peachy" he replied
"Your still bummed about the break-up, it's best to let it go" stated Rolf in grunts as he closed his suitcase
"It's different when you start the break up, in letters, and me not responding to his letters"
"Why's that?"
"That it's probably going to end the friendship he and me once had, after I discovered that he betrayed me"
"He cheated on you?!" Exclaimed Rolf
"What? No. It's another type of betrayment, that. . . Is something I wish I could forget" he replied making Rolf look at his brother worriedly
"Sorry If I'm coming up with vile possibilities, but did he..."
"No we didn't do the deed at that level, and certainly without consent" he replied embarrassed, he sighed tired
"He lied to me, and let's keep it at that! I'll wait for the man outside" He stated and walked towards the door to the lush forests deciding to sit out and wait for Dumbledore as he sat on the stairs
Why must a Demon be created! Couldn't they just be angles that chilled in the sky and not mess up my relationship and life!
He asked at the sky as if the big man was watching him
"I blame your angles for this" he muttered angrily
"How foward of you to blame the clouds for such unfair actions against you"
(Y/n) jumped seeing Dumbledore infornt of him looking up to the sky
"Then again your misfortunes are mysterious in away that the world brought you into" he replied as (Y/n) groaned and covered his face
"So you heard me blaming the clouds?"
"I just caught that, but there's alot I sense that your holding in"
"Of course there's more that I'm holding in! With last few months that I'm in the prophecy, I'm the key to either Harry's or Voldemorts victory, and everytime I think I have to cloud my mind so the Demon I have, won't tell on my family to the Dark Lord! And I have to all of this while delaing with my relationship!" He yelled out aggravated as Dumbledore walked towards (Y/n) placing a hand on his shoulder
"All I hear is your your concern for the past. It's best not to wallow into it, try to find your path for the future, it'll take your mind off of it" he suggested as (Y/n) looked at the man conflicted
"Shall we go?" He asked holding out his elbow. (Y/n) looked back at the Scamander house. He knew they deserved a goodbye at least
"Um.. would you mind if i-
"No, go on" he advised as (Y/n) ran back into the house to his Grandparents cleaning
"Dumbledores here" he stated as they looked up at him suprised
"That fast?" Tina asked suprised, (Y/n) nodded and walked towards them but stopped in his tracks sighing
"Im going, I'll be alright, and everything will be fine" he explained to his Grandparents who looked to each other concerned
"Come back to us safe" stated Tina as
(Y/n) nodded and turned his back and walked to the door
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Rolf?" Newt asked as (Y/n) looked back at them with a deadpan expression
"He's doing fine, I'll be here to see him again . . . no worries" he replied and walked away with Grandparents that looked at their grandson troubled by his behavior
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"You remember the tap movements?" Asked Dumbledore entering the Burrow
(Y/n) nodded holding out a canister
"Yes one tap, then three taps and another three taps, I just basically think eye of the tiger when doing it" he replied as Dumbledore looked at him suprised
"Well.. as long as you remember the combination, be safe and have it all times, we can't have a repeat of last year" he explained as (Y/n) nodded, Molly entered the room from the kitchen with a cup of tea in her hand
"Of all days, here's some tea dear" said Molly as (Y/n) sat in the table
"Take care Molly"
"You aswell Albus" she replied as Dumbledore dissaparated from the room
"Is it too hot dear?" Molly asked going back to kitchen
"Not at all, its the right temperature" he replied tiredly taking a sip feeling warmth throughout his body
"I'm glad" Molly responded coming back into the room cleaning her hands while seeing (Y/n) nod with a forced smile that she noticed right away
"Is everything alright?" She asked curiously, (Y/n) nodded
"It's fine, though it could be better" he responded as Molly held his hand
"You can talk to me honey, spill it" she urged making (Y/n) take a breath and clasping the woman's hand
"I'm lost, I'm scared, and I don't know what to do" he admitted. "It feels like I'm needed for this war to win, and if I don't, I might cause others pain.."
Molly chuckled, she placed a hand onto the boy's palm
"You are far too young to think about war, and your duty with it. Don't be to rash about it" she advised
(Y/n) thought about her words, it made sense to a normal boy, but with prophecies attached to him, he was forced to participate and think about it no matter what. Not wanting to make Molly worried, he decided to lie
"Your right, I'm to far off to think like that, thank you" he replied but yawned, he felt his eyes droop
"It is late, you'll be rooming with Ron, Harry is already in there so you'd better join them" she insisted as (Y/n) nodded taking his luggage
"Night, Molly"
"Goodnight (Y/n)"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
He walked up the staircase until he reached the floor where Ron room was, he took a breath and opened the door to see Harry planting his sleeping bag while Ron was sitting in his bed. Both boys looked to the (h/c) glad to see him, but (Y/n) did not share the same level of excitement
"Took you long enough, we heard arrive like 20 minutes ago" uttered Ron
"Had to be polite Ron, I can't barge in without greeting, it's inconsiderate to do". (Y/n) walked in and set down his luggage next to Harry who gave him a concerned look
"You alright?" He asked
"I'm fine, I can't believe I have to keep saying that!" Exclaimed (Y/n) making Harry taken aback at his friends tone
"What's got your knockers on a twist mate?" Asked Ron, (Y/n) looked at him apologetically and rubbed the back of his neck
"Sorry Ron, I'm just not in a mood today" he explained, Harry looked at him peculiarly
"So.. is everything alright with you?" Harry asked again once more
"It's fine. . . But I do have to tell you all something" stated (Y/n) making both Harry and Ron look to one another confused
"Where's Hermoine?" Asked (Y/n) standing up
"In Ginny's room, probably asleep" responded Harry
"Damn I wanted the three of you to hear this, should I wait tomorrow?.."
"I mean if it's so important you can tell us now, then you can inform Hermoine tomorrow about it" reasoned Ron
"Well... I need to say this out of guilt for my own mind" repiled (Y/n) frantically "Alright, you know me and Draco and our whole relationship thing?"
"Yeah I'm tying to imagine it didn't exist" muttered Ron as Harry shushed his best friend
"Well... your imagination now is a r-reality"
Silence filled the room, Hary and Ron gawked feeling confused for a moment while (Y/n) leaned back and forth feeling the tension
"You and Malfoy are . . "
"Yeah, apart, not officially, but ya no mas" he explained. Ron looked dumbfounded as he tried to find the words to express, meanwhile Harry felt bad for his friend, but guilty that he felt happy for Draco and (Y/n) breaking off
"Um.. can I be happy or was this hurtful? Because if he hurt you ill be sure to-
"I was the one who broke up with him and it wont be official until I talk to him, which I avoided for the entire summer" he explained
"Why. . . Did something happen?" Ask Harry
"I'm overwhelmed is all I can say, it's off and I'm drained from this, the Demon, relationships, basically I'm tired of everything.." he responded as Harry and Ron looked at each other concerned
"But anyways I need to sleep" (Y/n) opened his suitcase and grabbed spare clothes. "I'll be right back"
Once he walked away Harry felt Ron move beside him
"Looks like it's aligning to your advantage Harry.." he voiced dramatically while Harry looked at Ron strangely
"What do you mean?" He asked
"The fact that a certain someone you fancy someone in our friend group has broken up?" He drawled out causing Harry to think and scrunch his face
"Hermoine?"
"What! No, I mean (Y/n), you daft git. Look Malfoy and him are not together-
"So your suggesting just because they're not together I should swoop in or something?"
"Exactly mate, see.. you got your plan in check to swoop the bloke off his toes" stated Ron as Harry shook his head
"No, not now. He's going through something, right now he's not looking for love and I want to respect that" he responded
"You waited like what? 2 years, and your still going to wait as long as you can?" Asked Ron
"I'd rather wait, he needs a friend not a another relationship" he admitted, Ron looked at Harry quietly and sighed
"You don't want Malfoy to be close to us, is that it?" Asked Harry curiously
"No... well, I don't want him to be that close to us, I'm not over his torment so I prefer the distance" he explained as Harry chuckled
"So what? You want us together so Malfoy would stay away?" He asked
"Yes. But don't tell him that" he pleaded in a shudder
"Bit messed up Ron, but who knows" he replied as he wriggled himself into his sleeping bag hoping the best for his closest friend
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The next morning (Y/n) was suprised seeing Fleu Delacour walking around the house, Ron told him about Fleurs engagement with Bill Weasley and how they were planning to marry next year. Though what struck him was his head trying to spin the engagement on how an older couple managed to make it work. So why couldn't he do the same with Draco?
He saw Harry talking to Bill, probably congratulating his birthday, he liked seeing Harry happy, it made him feel good that someone was happy during the dark times
He sure wasn't. So maybe Harry deserved it better than him, he'll at least make good use of it
Unlike me who wastes it, for myself endlessly
"Think Fast!" (Y/n) was hit in the face with a paper bird
"Agh! What the hell!" He gasped in suprise, Ron laughs caught his attention making (Y/n) realize the culprit. He threw the paper bird back at the red head, he rubbed his eyes standing upright to do so
"What was that for.." he muttered as Hermoine turned to him
"Your daydreaming on your best mates birthday party that's what!" She stated as (Y/n) looked at Hermoine confused
"And? I was thinking, is that a crime?" He asked rhetorically
"It's not about that, it's the fact your being off, not to mention we have to yell to get your attention" she stated
"Lay off! I'm fine I'm just all over the place, I don't need a lecture about my behavior" he gritted making Hermoine stand. Ron gulped and turned his body around to avoid the conflict
"It's not a lecture (Y/n). I'm warning you on your behavior before-
"Before what, I hurt someone? I know that!" He exclaimed looking at Hermoine furious he wasn't sure on what cause, but all he knew was that he had to release it
"Alright you two need to break off!" Asserted Ginny as she pulled (Y/n) aside with Hermoine looking to Ron who shrugged
"Ginny at least lessen your grip! Your handling me as if I was a broom" he winced as he was dragged behind a large bush. Ginny faced him, (Y/n) could see her face contort into one of sincerity
"What happened back there?" She asked
"A random argument, nothing serious" he replied as Ginny held (Y/n)'s arm preventing him from fleeing
"The truth! Your thinking of something, or specifically someone" she stated making the boy scowl
"That's none of your concern! So why don't you piss off!" He gritted making Ginny sigh still grabbing a hold of him
"You know telling anyone to piss off doesn't make it better to hog in your emotions" she explained
"I know! But at least it'll prevent me from thinking of . . . . him"
"When you mean him, do you mean him that torments you. . . Of him that you care about?" she asked tentatively, (Y/n) looked at her and nodded making her understand
"I won't say it will get better, but it doesn't mean you have to be a absolute bell-end to people, but can you tell me why your acting like this for Malfoy?" She asked softly. (Y/n) took a breath as he slicked back his hair out of nerves
"I messed up Ginny! I got with Draco for the wrong reasons" he admitted, and paced slowly as Ginny held his arm
"How so?" She asked
"I liked Draco at first... for making me feel special. Not really like friends but in a way that I feel needed, that I'm able to exist to help him and be together. I always thought that when people get together . . . It would be to not be alone.."
Ginny stood aside the (H/c) took a breath and continued
"But we both used each other for something. . . I can't be mad at him for what he did. I brought it upon myself for getting him in my mess, I've caused several problems. And I'm not even sure if I did the right thing!" He exclaimed
"It sounds like you both weren't meant for each other like that. But that doesn't mean you can sulk and ignore it, that may be more hurting than you think it will" she explained
"Best thing to do is try to make amends, in many ways, try to move on. . . There's others that may find you attractive, but take it slow" she recommended. (Y/n) groaned while massaging his forehead
"Why did this get so complicated! But your right. . . All I can do is try to move on, also.. why are you helping me?" He asked curiously, Ginny crossed her arms and looked at (Y/n) confidently
"Well I noticed that you've been mopping, even if you barely arrived yesterday, I knew that look, when your trying to hide your feelings and all, it doesn't work all the time. I know what it's like to not worry others, you can't just be confident everything would go smoothly" she explained and pulled out a D.A coin that was given during the meetings with Dumbledores Army
"Why do you think I joined? I had to work with others and this was the perfect place for it, so I know a bit on closing myself off, and this is me saying, to move on, find your spark and just do you" she stated proudly as (Y/n) laughed
"Was the last part a reference to something?" He asked while laughing causing Ginny to roll her her eyes
"Not really, it's just a clique I read about for self discovery, but I mean it could work for you" she added making (Y/n) nod in agreement but made him think about earlier
"I was dick earlier wasn't I?"
"Massive Dick" she stated
"Yeah I'd better apologize" he replied and walked towards the group but stopped mid foot and turned around to her
"Thank you, for knocking sense into me" He said in gratitude
"Go!" She ushered jokingly as (Y/n) took a breath and walked towards Hermoine who was standing near Ron. Both of them noticed him. Once (Y/n) walked shamefully to Hermoine, she turned to face him
"I'm sorry for snapping at you, I'm going through something but that's not justified in treating you like that, can you forgive me for being so stupid?" He asked apologetically. Ron kept in a chuckle as Hermoine sighed
"I do, and I'm also sorry for accusing you of ruining Harry's birthday. It's been a stressful time for everyone, so I also snapped" she stated, (Y/n) patted her shoulder but was met with Hermoine crushing him in a hug
"It's good to see you smile for once mate" uttered Ron, Hermoine smirked and pulled the boy into the hug making the two boys eye each other at the action
"Platonic hug?" Asked Ron curiously
"Super Platonic Hug" replied (Y/n) feeling relief for awhile, he prayed that it would last forever
