Chapter 69

*DRACO'S POV*

It's been a few months since Y/n left the house that night in June, and no day goes by that I don't miss my big sister. Mother fell into depression since she left, and she has been fighting a lot more with my father because she blames him for her absence. She thinks that it is his fault that Y/n hated this family and didn't want to be a part of it, and I kind of agree with her. Father always wanted Y/n to be the greatest witch of her age and the Malfoy who made it into history and this is great, but father didn't want it to happen for her but for him. He wanted the money and fame that Y/n was going to achieve just for him, and it made him mad that all his plans were crushed in just one night. After all, he realised that his plans weren't actually going to come true, he started locking himself in his office or disappearing every single morning and returning late at night. Things were like that every day, so I just stayed in my room and only talked to my parents when I had to because I blamed both of them for the fact that Y/n wasn't home! I know that she is definitely happier where she is far away from them, but I just wanted my big sister back at our childhood home and the entire family back together like the good old days used to be. Without fighting and yelling, but just a happy family sitting near the fireplace talking! I wanted nothing more...

Yesterday it was Y/n's nineteen birthday and mom just locked herself in the bedroom, refusing to go out. Father like always just disappeared and left me to deal with everything like he always did when things got messy, he just left. I knocked on my mother's bedroom door after I ate dinner alone with a plate of food in my hand and waited patiently for her to answer me. I heard her telling me to enter and when I did, I found her sitting on a chair next to the window with a photo album opened on her lap.

Narcissa: Oh, thank you, Draco dear, but I am not hungry

She said when I handed her the plate and I nodded before putting it on the table in front of the chair and sitting the other one next to her without saying a word. I sighed while looking at the floor before I looked at my mother who was just looking outside with her head resting on her palm

Draco: I know you don't want to hear me saying it, and it hurts me to say it too, but Y/n chose to leave mom! We both know she didn't want to stay in this place, she hated this house and this family

I said, and my mother didn't answer me for a few seconds, so I supposed she was trying to process the words I just said in her mind. She closed the album and wiped a tear from her cheek, trying to hide the fact that she wanted to cry. She didn't want me to see that she could get weak sometimes, but I knew no matter what my mother was the strongest woman I have ever met in my life, and like all people she deserved to not be okay sometimes and let herself cry

Narcissa: When I was pregnant with Y/n I had an accident which made me lay in bed for half of my pregnancy. I was told that my baby couldn't make it, so your father and I started losing hope and accepted the fact that we weren't going to welcome our daughter into the world.

She said, and I heard a tiny sob leave her mouth, but once again she tried to hide it by looking away from me

Narcissa: But a miracle happened the day she was born! 

She said with a tiny smile appearing after months on her face

Narcissa: We were expecting her to not be alive when she came into the world but then out of nowhere a cry was heard and the nurse handed me a tiny little girl in my hands who was screaming like crazy the moment the sun hit her face

She described the moment with a small smile on her face and tears filling her eyes. She wiped them quickly again before she finally looked at me 

Narcissa: That day was exactly nineteen years ago today when I thought I lost my daughter, and today I indeed lost her. Not because she is not here with us, but because I know that the next time I see Y/n, in her eyes there will be hate and disgust for me. That is what hurts me the most out of the entire story! I know I deserve it because I wasn't a good mother and didn't protect my only daughter like I should have!

Draco: You did everything you could-

I began to say, and my mother raised her hand to make me stop. I watched her slowly stand up from her chair with tears now rolling down her face and this time not hiding them

Narcissa: What I did wasn't enough to keep my little girl home

She said before she walked out of the room

*END OF DRACO'S POV*

I woke up sweaty in the middle of the night while breathing heavily like I never had before. I put my hand on my chest trying to calm me down and not to wake up Percy who was peacefully sleeping next to me. I looked at the alarm o clock on my bedside table only to realise that it was three in the morning and I had just woken up from another nightmare in a row. Tomorrow was the day of Harry's hearing, and the fact that I was going to stand up for him in court made my anxiety go crazy and my nightmares more every single night. This was the first ever time that I took a case, and I was nervous about it

I felt Percy sat up next to me, and he rested his head on my shoulder after he kissed it gently

Y/n: I am sorry for waking you up again

I said in a low voice trying to not completely wake him before I went my hand through my messy hair, and he smiled before he looked at me

Percy: It is alright, Ottie, I don't mind it! I really love our late-night talks 

He said, and I smiled remembering every single night for the past week that I had woken up from a nightmare and Percy who woke up with me and stayed up all night to talk to me about it until I fell asleep again

Y/n: I don't deserve you 

I said with a smile before laying my head on his chest and feeling his hands wrap around me protectively. He kissed my head comfortingly before I closed my eyes again trying to calm myself down

Percy: So tell me what was it this time? Me dying again?

He said with a laugh and I hit his arm with an angry look on my face because this wasn't something people laughed and joked about. I may also have hidden for him half the nightmare I had about him the other day because it was very cruel and made me not close an eye that night because I was checking every other second if Percy was next to me

Y/n: This is not funny Percival because you know that if you die, I will die with you 

I said, really meaning what I said because I clearly can't imagine my life without Percy in it. It would just be so empty, like the stars without the moon during the nighttime. They are nothing without it because the moon gives them all its light. I am the star and Percy is my moon! Without him, I am absolutely nothing, just a white painting with no colour and a book full of pages but with no words, just nothing

Y/n: This time it was Ruby, I watched her die right in front of me in the hands of my cruel aunt 

I said because I was really worried about Ruby, who still hadn't found a way to leave her house without her parents knowing, but she was a strong person and I knew she would figure out something. She has strictly forbidden me to not go take her myself because if her parents find out that I went to their house then they will immediately inform mine and come to take me back to the place I once called my home! So I was made to just stay back and wait by doing absolutely nothing

Percy: Don't worry about Ruby, I am sure she will be fine! I mean, that girl drank an entire bottle of tequila on her own in our seventh year, I am sure that she can handle a few deatheaters

He said, and I smiled at him, giving him a kiss on his lips, which made him smile. We talked for a few more minutes before I finally fell asleep again only to have another more awful nightmare which made me stay away for the entire night again

"Though you are in pain, I'm here to take you through this."

Hello dear readers,

    Am I the only one who imagines older Percy Weasley as Callum Turner with glasses and red hair? I was watching an edit of him the other day, and I was like he could be an incredible older Percy! I don't know, just my thoughts! Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter and I will see you all in the next one :)

Love,

Emily <3
