The End of the Beginning (Draco Malfoy x Fem Reader)

Chapter Twenty-Three: Do I Wanna Know?

HP: y/n?

He turns to me.

Me: Yeah? What's up?

HP: When this is all over, would you run away with me?

Me: Runaway with you? Harry--

HP: You don't have to say yes. It's just a thought.

Me: Where would we go?

HP: Anywhere. Anywhere but here.

Me: But it's nice here.

HP: It's not safe--

Me: But it will be.

HP: You don't know that.

Me: There's a reason we're fighting a war, we have to defeat Lord---You-Know-Who. We're going to. We have to.

HP: But what if we don't. y/n we--

Me: WE WILL. 

HP: Woah. Sorry.

Me: No...I--Sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you.

HP: I understand. We've all got pent up emotions. We've come a long way...Life was so much simpler at Hogwarts.

Me: Was it though?

HP: Don't complain. It's better than being in a cupboard under the stairs for eleven years.

Me: That's true. 

HP: Alright, change of subject. If you ever had kids, what would you name them?

Me: Woah. Uh...I'm not really a kids person.

HP: Oh...Well, I'd name my first son James and my second son Albus.

Me: I understand James, but why Albus?

HP: Well, after Dumbledore of course.

Me: Well, yeah obviously.

HP: Do you not know, y/n?

Me: Know what?

HP: About Dumbledore?

Me: What about him?

HP: y/n, Dumbledore is dead.

Me: What??

HP: Snape killed him. 

Me: Snape--What? My--My godfather killed the Headmaster?

HP: Yes. Yes, I'm so sorry I was the one who had to tell you.

Me: I should've known.

HP: How would you have known?

Me: I--I don't know.

Because Snape is a death eater. That's why. Just say it. 

HP: It's alright. It'll be fine, he's not gone forever, he's just left physical earth.

Me: Hippy.

HP: Rude.

Me: "He's just left physical earth." You're hilarious honestly. You know how to make death sound like it's no big deal.

HP: I have my ways of coping. Everyone leaves their physical form eventually.

Me: Some sooner than others.

HP: Sinister.

Me: That's me. What were we talking about before?

HP: Children.

Me: Blegh.

HP: Hypothetically, if you ever had children, what would you name them?
