(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"(y/n)...?" Draco's voice wavered as he lowered the portrait of her on his desk, tearing up when he actually saw her in his office as he quickly got up from his chair. She hadn't noticed him and he rushes forward to catch her when she falls from the air, her gasping in shock that someone had caught her and she looks up with fear but it vanishes within a second when she notices those familiar grey eyes she fell in love with.

"Draco...?" she tears up when he sets her down and steps back from her but she quickly reaches out for his hands to hold her again. "No, please..." she wavers, tears falling down her cheeks and his heart breaks as he cries, rushing forward to hug her only when he was sure he wasn't being haunted by his many nightmares of her begging him to let help her.

"You're here... you're actually here..." he breathes out happily, holding her tight as they cried against each others shoulders. He pulled her closer and buried his nose against her neck, missing that sweet floral scent from her, holding her waist incredibly tight with one hand as the other held her head securely. Her own hands wrapped around him tightly, squeezing him ever so tight and being hit with the smell of cologne and apples that she had adored. "No... you're not supposed to be here!"

Draco pulls back quickly, looking at his door in fear that someone would find (y/n) and take her away. "No one knows I'm here!" she explains quickly when he pulls away, holding his arm to stop him. "No one does... I'm safe..."

"Not with me! You can't be here!"

"Draco please..." she begs him to stop, to just stand still with her and he freezes, frowning at the fact he made her cry.

"You're in pain..." he wipes her tears away, looking down at her trembling arms that were scorched and cracked. "Your hands..." he breaks seeing them bandaged and he notices when she couldn't hold him properly and he closes his eyes in guilt. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry-" his voice cracks with sobs when he feels her hands holds his cheeks and he holds them tightly in his, entwining his fingers with hers. "I should've gotten you out sooner... I'm so sorry..." his breath hitches when she traces the scar on his face and he flinches back.

"Who did this?" he looks away in shame and she leans over to look at him. "Draco-"

"-that doesn't matter..." he turns back to look at her, to burn this moment in his mind forever as she stood in front of him. Even if they both were heartbroken, even if they were both in tears, she was as beautiful as ever and every moment with her he cherished. She looks at him with those soft doe eyes he fell in love with, stepping closer to her as he ran his eyes over every inch of her.

Draco caught onto the soft hitch of (y/n)'s breath as he caresses her cheeks with his thumbs before trailing his fingers softly down her skin, brushing against the expanse of her neck and down her arms. He leans closer to her and she whimpers against the touch of his cold hands on her, being able to feel his touch down her arms before he moves back to hold her neck and pull her up to kiss her. It was sparks that ran through the both of them, lighting up every inch of their skin after being apart for so long. Oh how much he had missed her, missed her touch, her warmth, her softness, her sweetness. 

Draco stutters against her lips, his own quivering from the kiss that spoke many words but none at the same time. All his love for her, all his happiness and devotion, all her, for her and only her. She kissed him back just as passionately, missing his entire being until she pulled back hesitantly with tears.

"I can't feel you..." she cries, as she holds his cheeks but couldn't feel him, couldn't feel the touch of his hands when he held hers in his. "I can't-" he shushes her softly, pulling her in a hug as she sniffles against his chest. "I miss you... I miss you every day..."

"I miss you too my love. Every hour, every minute, every damned second I'm not with you." he leans back and wipes away her tears, pressing his lips against her eyelids, her forehead, her cheeks and her nose. The lovers pull apart when they hear screams and shrieks outside, growing worried that they were caught for different reasons. "(y/n)-"

"-come with me." she begs him. "Leave with me." she pulls him gently towards the door but he stops her with a look of fear in his eyes.

"I-I can't... (y/n) I can't... you know I wish I could..." the screaming quickly turned to yelling, explosions going off as someone was being attacked and (y/n) quickly grew worried for Harry.

"Draco please-" he shakes his head and she looks at him with such a heartbroken look when he lets her hand go. She hesitates, looking at him and at the door and she sobs as she turns invisible before flying out of his office. The boy was left alone in silence again and he drops to his knees, crying into his hands as every inch of space was now filled with her. The air was her, the smell of her on his clothes, the faint tingles of her touch on his skin... His heart yearned to be with her, his mind screaming at him for not being with her and missing his chance to be with her.

He had let her slip from his fingers again, all to keep her safe.

(y/n) hastily flew over the ministry, trying to find her friends as she quickly wiped away her tears. She groans in frustration, diving down through the hundred floors of the ministry. Witches and Wizards, stumble back from the sudden burst of wind as she dives down through the floors, still invisible but pushing through the pain to try and find her friends before she fizzled out of energy.

Where are they!?

(y/n) gasps as she sees a hoard of dementors being caged up behind a barrier, holding in her scream as she weaves past them and through the barrier to witness the chaos of spells being cast and people being attacked. "Oh shit!" she gasps, avoiding an attack as Hermione snatches the locket of an incapacitated Umbitch, throwing it to Harry as his potion wears off. "Let's go!" (y/n) flickers into view and urges the trio to move when they look up seeing the dementors free. "Move it!" they all rush to the elevator and the Hufflepuff's hands crackle with dark red lightning, an unstable ball growing between her hands until she wrings it apart and a wave explodes out to drive them back with just enough time for everyone to escape.

"Can you make us invisible-" Harry asks and (y/n) drops to the floor with a painful grunt, her powers fizzing out.

"Shit..." she gulps and Ron helps her back up just as the doors open. "Run!" The kids dash off with some woman behind them, Ron telling her to escape to the countryside and (y/n) grabs him by the back of his collar when she notices a man chasing after them.

"Mary! Do as I say!" Ron yells out and she nods.

"Nice of you to warn the wife, but now fucking book it!" the trio's potions wear off and the wizards whisper in shock seeing them as they burst into a run for their lives.

"Yaxley-!"

"-seal all the exits! Now!" Yaxley screams at the guards. 

"Hurry!" Hermione cries out as she takes hold of (y/n)'s hand, Harry casting a spell to stop the man with a flurry of papers swarming the ministry.

(y/n) turned around as she ran and her eyes instantly locked onto a pair of grey ones and she stops running. Hermione urges her to hurry up and make it to the fireplaces that were being sealed one after the other, the gates dropping onto the granite floor like guillotines.

"(y/n)! Come on!" the world became fuzzy, the ringing pounding in her head with each loud thud of the gates.

She was heartbroken. She was angry. She was in pain. She was in agony and she cries out. For Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and all her loved ones at Hogwarts. She screams out as she fists her hands, a burst of crackling red explosions rippling out from her in sharp waves. Her screams pitch higher in frequency as she cries in pain, the walls crumbling and the grounds fizzing. Witches and wizards shrieked and ran for their lives, some thrown back from the impact of the waves as others were knocked off their feet and unconscious on the ground. The world shook and tilted heavily, lights flickering as bulbs buzzed before exploding. Flames rip up from the ground in bursts of cracks like hell was breaking through to escape on earth, swallowing things and people into the depths.

"(y/n)..." the world suddenly became quiet when she heard Draco's voice, opening her eyes and blinking away her tears to see him standing in the far distance in the crowd opposite from her. "I love you..." he whispers but she heard him loud and clear, everything suddenly becoming still and quiet. He shakes his head and mouths to her but the words were deaf to her ears when she feels someone grab her arm and pull her away into the fireplace, clutching her necklace as he kissed the ring. That was the last thing she sees before the world spun and whirls into a distortion of light and darkness.

"(y/n)!" Hermione rushes forward to her, dropping to he knees and hugging her friend tightly knowing why she was so upset. She saw Draco too and she knew the boys did too. The trio kneeled on the ground of the forest they had landed in, trying to comfort the crying girl who sobbed into her hands.

(y/n) just wanted it to stop. The pain and heartache, the fury and anger. It hurt, everything just hurt too much and she wanted it to go away. She was tired... so, so tired. She didn't understand why she was here and just wanted to leave. She wanted to disappear and wish she never been brought here.

But she was brought here to take away the pain of those around her, to give them a second chance at happiness. She was brought here to help them, to guide them, to protect them. She could not go until her job was done.
