She never knew what would have happened, she never imagined that one simple thing would cause her to lose the love of her life. She didn't know by accepting to go to Hogwarts with her bestfriends she would have met the love of her life, or that the love of her life would end up dead in her arms because of a grave mistake she made. Draco Malfoy is the reason that the love of her life was dead and she would make him pay if it was the last thing she did.
Skys pov
7 and a half years ago I started school with my best friend, Ron Weasley. It was one of the best experiences ever, with many surprises along the way. One of these being I fell in love with Ron's brother, Fred. As long as I’d known the family, Fred always helped me with things and helped me pull pranks on my friends. I had always looked up to him, but I didn’t mean to fall in love with him. Ron and I even had a list of “rules” and a certain rule said I was not allowed to fall in love with his siblings. Funny how things happened.
~YEAR ONE~
“Ron how much of an idiot could you be to say that to her after everything she's helped you with already”
I had screamed at my red faced best friend. He had once again not used his head and told Hermoine Granger how much of a know it all she was. Not that he was wrong, but it was uncalled for. “Sky is right Ron, she just helped you in charms class and you humiliated her in return,” Harry agreed. Ron just looked at us like we were insane for calling him out.
“Oh bloody hell not you two ganging up on me.” Ron yelled in the great hall
“You're just mad because you know Sky is right.”
I looked up to see Fred and George joining the conversation. Those two were always getting into trouble, or watching it. Or both. Those boys made everything a bit more interesting and always found a way to make people laugh.
Ron looked at Fred like he just got stabbed in the gut and walked off furiously.
“Bloody hell you've done it now Sky” Harry shouted at me, chasing after Ron. He would come to his senses later on.
I look across the table to where Fred and George now sit and they just smirk at me like they've played the biggest joke.
“What do you guys want,” I glared at them.
George just looks at fred and then back at me and leaves without a single word
“Hey sky” Fred looks at me as if im this puzzle hes trying to figure out
“Yes fred? Can I help you with something” I ask him sarcastically.
“No, I just wanted to tell you that was bloody brilliant of you the way you made Ronald so angry.”
I look at him in shock. I was not expecting that at all.
“It was never my intention to make him angry and even if it was I certainly didn't do it to impress you. Good day Fred.” I silently make my way back to the Slytherin common room, wondering what my time at Hogwarts would bring.
~YEAR TWO~
The summer before my second year at Hogwarts was an amazing experience for me. I traveled all around the world with my parents. Sadly, my parents are close friends with the Malfoys, so I had to spend some time with Draco since our families went on a vacation together. I wasn’t thrilled at the idea but Draco is actually quite mellow and easy to get along with once you get to know him. He asked a lot about Hermione however, asking about how she’s doing. He must have some sort of crush on her, which is odd considering she hates muggle-borns like the rest of his family. My family also dislikes muggle-borns except for me. I’m always the odd one out. My travels around the world made my summer very enjoyable, but I was ready to get back to hogwarts and spend the year with my friends. New adventures await and I am ready. “SKY” I hear someone shout my name on the platform when we reach Hogwarts. I turn, recognizing that voice as easy as my own; “RON” soon i'm tackled to the ground with red hair in my face.
“Bloody hell Ron I missed you too but did you really have to tackle me to the ground!!?”
“Sorry about that Sky, i just haven't seen you all summer. I missed you.”
I look at him in shock before I roll my eyes.
“Don't go getting soft on me Weasley,” I say.
His eyes so wide
“Me? Never. How was your summer sky”
I walk beside him to try and go find harry and hermione
“It was amazing my parents and I traveled a lot”
He looks at me in shock before deciding to speak his mind
“You hate being alone with your parents..how was it amazing?”
“Oh I wasn't alone with them we traveled with the Malfoys and it was quite amazing if i'm being honest”
He looks at me with anger in his eyes before slapping me across the face
“BLOODY HELL RON WHAT WAS THAT FOR”
All eyes in the great hall turn to us both draco and fred look at us and rush over to us
“Stay away from me salvatore.” ron screams at you and in that moment you felt your heart break into a thousand pieces
“Salvatore? Really because I spent the summer with Draco and his family you hate me now?”
I wait for his answer with tears streaming down my cheeks
“You know what he did to me...to my family. You are the only one who knows so yes I hate you. When you decide who your real friends are come find me”
I just look at him in absolute shock
“GO TO HELL WEASLEY”
Fred looks at me with pity before running after his brother. Draco comes closer to me and looks at me;
“Sky?”
I know he's talking but i can't even breathe or register what just happened
“Sky it's me, Draco come on love lets get you out of here”
I don't move or say anything until he touches my arm and pulls me into a hug and that's when i break
“Oh god oh god oh god what did i do oh my god” I break down into sobs and its hard to breathe and everyone is staring at draco and i
“Draco”
I look up at him with fear in my eyes
“I know Sky, come on i'll get you out of here”
Before walking out of the great hall with Draco I see Fred watching me silently asking if i'm okay but i can't deal with anymore weasley drama so i just walk out ignoring his gaze.
A few months later Draco and I have become quite close ever since the breakdown on the first day back. If Draco is not at quidditch practice he's with you, you couldn't find Draco without finding me. I still miss Ron a lot and I miss Harry and Hermione but they hate my guts all because I'm friends with Draco. I still talk to the twins from time to time and I always enjoy that, but it's not the same as having Ron as my best friend.
I was walking to potions with Draco when I felt a shoulder hit mine and I fell to the ground. I looked up to see Ron and some 3rd year laughing. I look around hoping draco is somewhere around and to my horror he's on top of ron punching him over and over again
“HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER YOU FILTHY WEASLEY”
“DRACO STOP IT! STOP IT DRACO '' I start screaming at him but he doesn't budge until I grab his shoulder and he just pushes me to the ground and I just stare up in horror at him.
“Sky oh my god I’m so sorry” draco is suddenly at my side as if he just wasn't beating the living hell out of someone who i still consider my best friend.
“Draco no. don't touch me dont look at me, don't even talk to me. I trusted you and you hurt the person I care about more than anything else, you were a best friend to me and you hurt my best friend no screw that my family. It doesn't matter what he's done. I love him and I trusted you.”
With that I walked away from the only person I had left.
I had expected to spend the rest of the year alone but a few hours later sitting in the library silently crying into my potions textbook i feel a pair of eyes on me i assume it's the same pair that's been on me all night
“Fred i know you're there you can stop pretending to study we both know you don't study especially for potions”
I hear him chuckle before he pulls a seat up next to me and makes me look at him wiping the tears off my face
“What's wrong gorgeous”
I look at him in shock and i can feel my cheeks heat up
“First of all i'm not gorgeous and second i lost my best friend and then i lost draco and he's all i had left”
He looks at me and just pulls me into a hug and i start sobbing into his chest
“I miss him so much Fred”
He just pulls me in tighter and holds me till i stop sobbing
“Love, listen to me, you are so beautiful. And i know rons been an asshole to you this year but he misses you too”
I look at him in doubt
“Then why has he beat me up all year?”
i hear footsteps behind us and i see another red haired boy but not his face so i assume its George but i finally see the strangers face to see Ron
“Ronald..”
“Hey sky..can we talk?
I look at Ron in shock before shaking my head
“Look Sky i know i was a world class jerk this year and for that i'm sorry, i know that the past few years have been hard on you with everything that your dad did to you and i'm sorry i slapped you, i miss my bestfriend im sorry and i know you probably hate me and never wanna s-”
“Shut up Ron” and i tackle him in the biggest hug
“I love you sky”
“AWW RON YOU GOT SOFT ON ME”
Ron just rolls his eyes at me
“Lets go Sky”
~YEAR 3~
“Ron can you believe we are already back at hogwarts!”
I look up at him waiting for a response
“I cant believe im stuck with you again even after you spent the whole summer with us” he snarkily replied
“Oh weasley you love me”
Ron just rolls his eyes and continues his walk to the great hall trying to find the rest of our friends, finally finding hermione and harry we all sit down talking when all of a sudden Ron is screaming at a spider he seeing on the table and fred is laughing and the spider disappears
“Seriously fred?!”
Ron looks at Fred in anger as Fred runs off
“God what an ass”
I look at fred before responding “I know”
Ron looks between fred and I before yelling at me
“HEY HEY RULE NUMBER 9”
“Oh come on as if”
He looks at me in doubt
“Yeah tell that to the drool”
“OH WHATEVER”
I roll my eyes and shove ron while sneaking glances at fred and i see him winking at me and i blush even after 2 months of dating in secret he does those things and i still get flustered. I know that if Ron found out he would kill me but this summer I fell for Fred hard and he was there for me for things i couldn't tell Ron.
A few hours later I'm sitting in the Slytherin commons looking at a picture of Fred and I'm wondering how I got so lucky to have him as my boyfriend when Draco and his goblins come in and sit down next to me.
“Can i help you boys with something?” i snarkily ask them
“Just curious about something sky, how did a broken girl like you get a guy like Fred?” Draco asks with that smug look on his face that I want to slap off his face.
“I don't know what you mean by broken and as for fred i didn't get him we are just friends”
Draco rolls his eyes before saying something that shocks me
“Sky you forget we were fairly close last year, i helped you with all your panic attacks and was there when you had nightmares and helped you through your depressive episodes and as for Fred i know as well as you do that you guys are dating you look at him like he's your world.”
I look at Draco in shock with tears in my eyes before i hear what else he adds
“And let's be honest, Sky he could never love someone as broken as you, he'll leave you just like your brother did and just like everyone you've ever loved has. He don't want to stick around for someone as broken as you”
With tears streaming down my face I ran out of the commons in search of my boyfriend. I see a few 1st year gryffindors and ask them if they've seen Fred and they let me know he's in the east corridor with Ron and George, i can feel myself getting lightheaded and dizzy like i always do when i get panic attacks. I finally see his red hair and i yell his name;
“FRED” and with that I collapse not being able to hold myself up anymore
“Sky? Baby what happened?”
I suddenly realize that he's with Ron and I see how hurt Ron looks in that moment but I can't focus on that right now because my sight goes blurry with all the tears streaming down my face and I start sobbing into Freds chest.
“Shh its okay darling i'm here”
A few minutes later though it feels like hours. I've finally calmed down and I can stand up on my own. I look up at Ron and see his face morph from worried to anger.
“Ron can we talk?” i look at him with sadness in my eyes
“No but i will, how could you do this to me Sky after everything i've done for you how could you betray me like this?” he asks me that with anger and betrayal in his eyes.
“I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM RON '' i blurt out before i realize what i said i run away not wanting to see the look on ron or fred's face.
Im sobbing in the west corridor when i see draco come up to me and try and talk to me but before he can say anything im walking away to the pond i always used to go to when i needed to think, i hear someone following me i assume it's fred coming to break up with me but i turn around to come face to face with a platinum blonde malfoy boy staring at my brown eyes.
“What do you want malfoy? Come to make me question myself even more?”
He looks at me with what looks to be an apologetic look on his face?
“No i came to apologize i never meant to hurt you, i was hurting and i miss you and i'm sorry. Are you okay sky? You don't seem okay”
I look at him softly before putting on my facade of happiness on before i reply
“Im perfect draco no need to worry about me. And for the record i miss you too”
His face softens before he replies with something that shocks me
“ Sky you was my best friend, i know you're not okay you don't need to lie to me, let me help you. We can be friends again. I can help you the way the weasleys can't. You know I know what it's like to feel the way you do so why not let me help you.”
“Draco are you kidding me? You broke me last year seeing you beat ron up..it hurt me. I was..i was falling in love with you and you broke my heart. Besides my best friend despises you I can't lose Ron again ``I remark like it's a fact.
He just stares at me in shock, “you were in love with me?”
I look at him like it was the most idiotic question ever, “i was starting to but im not anymore like i said you broke my heart and you know what? Fred fixed it. I'm in love with him and i'm pretty sure he's gonna leave me, because who could ever love someone as broken as me?”
“I could” says a voice behind Draco and that I recognize as my boyfriend.
I turn around to face the one and only Fred Weasley
“Fred..hey”
He smiles at me
“Come on my love let's take a walk”
I go with fred before turning around and running up to draco and hugging him before whispering “i'd love to be friends but ron cant find out” then i say louder, “thank you draco for making sure i'm okay”
I then run back to my boyfriend and walk with him and it's silent but not in an awkward way it's a comfortable silence before he finally says something,
“I love you sky”
I look at him and reply back with love in my eyes
“I love you weasley”
The rest of the year went by quickly with stolen kisses from fred dirty looks from ron and stolen conversations with draco i spent the first part of summer break with draco and the last 2 months with fred and his family, ron still hating me.
~YEAR FOUR~
When we return back to Hogwarts, im honestly in shock of how far i've come the past 3 years and how much i've learned and grown. I've fallen in love and I've gained and lost friends. Ron still hates me for dating his brother he refused to talk to me all summer but here we all are running from an attack for he who must not be named and his followers, i can hear Hermione's screams and then someone grabs me and i start screaming
“FRED” i start screaming
“SKY WHERE ARE YOU”
And then i see draco and then the guy who grabbed me is on the ground
“Sky are you okay?”
I look at him and look back at the stranger on the ground
“Uh yeah i'm okay thank you draco. I should get back to fred and the group but seriously thank you”
“No need to thank me darling,i'll always be here to protect you”
I wonder what he means by that but I forget about it quickly after being back in Freds arms.
Over the course of my 3rdyear i had gotten particularly close with a certain Hufflepuff named Cedric Diggory, that only increased over the summer, now it wasn't like that, i had fred and i love him. Cedric was like my big brother. I could tell anything too. We were as close as Fred and George are. As soon as his name was selected for the triwizard tournament I had this feeling in my stomach that it wouldn't go well. But like i said he was basically my big brother so i supported him i was there throughout everything and i started to think maybe i was wrong and it would turn out okay in the end. Oh how wrong I was. As soon as Harry came back with Cedric's body I let out a blood curdling scream. Fred looks at me with worry and tries to get me out of the stadium but i run up to harry and tackle him and start shouting
“WHAT DID YOU DO POTTER WHY IS MY BROTHER DEAD WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU DO”
“He's back sky..he's back.”
I look into his eyes and i know he's telling the truth
~YEAR 5~
Year five was awful for me. I didn't talk to anyone besides Fred and draco. I started hating Harry for getting Cedric killed and I started failing my classes. But at the end of the year I was in the worst place I could be. I was gonna use one of the unforgivable curses on myself. This is until Ron walked in on me and stopped me. That summer I spent it with him and Fred and they helped me get better.
~YEAR 6~
Nothing happened basically all of year 6 up until the end draco asked for my help with killing dumbledore because he was now a death eater. It was the beginning of the end of my life as i knew it, dumbledore was dead and draco wasn't the person i knew anymore. I hated him for what he did so I refused to talk to him.
~YEAR SEVEN~
Hell. i was in literal hell my whole life has ended when I saw his body it was like i was watching it as a movie like it wasnt real. I look up and see Draco holding a wand after he just performed the killing curse on the love of life. We were gonna get married have kids and now thats all gone, Fred Weasley is dead. I let out a scream and ron and george finally realize i saw the whole thing.
“Sky come on lets get out of here ill take you to your dorm” Ron calmly states while walking towards me like im a scared animal who will run away if he moves to fast.
“NO” i shout at him and he jumps, I see george walk towards me and hugs me
“Sky he loved you so much and hes never really gone, youll be okay” george whispers softly in my ear. Suddenly all i feel is rage and i push him away and i look at him the boy who has the face of the love of my life before i say something that shocks everyone,
“Fred is dead i wont be okay because he was the love of my life. Draco killed him and i swear to god, if its the last thing i do ill kill him. Hes not getting away with this.” Then i walk out of Hogwarts and dont turn back. And now im here, alone and angry. I swore id get my revenge and i will. Draco Malfoy will regret ever picking up his wand. I swear to you Fred he wont get away with this
should i make a part 2?
