Harry and I just kept running while Voldemort shot spells at us. "Harry, please, tell me you have a plan?!" I yelled throwing a spell over my shoulder. "Yes, we keep distracting him so they can have time to get to the snake." Harry said pulling me behind a wall. I was out of breath; I was really getting tired of running. Voldemort began getting closer, so we took off running again. We had made it all the way up to the Astrometry Tower. Don't ask me how, but somehow we did. I turned around and was hit in the chest with a spell knocking me down the stairs.
"Alex!" Harry yelled. I grunted and grabbed the rail trying to pull myself up. Voldemort had his hand wrapped around Harry's neck and I saw Harry's lips moving. I gathered up all my strength and ran up towards them.
"So, Tom, let's finish this how we started it. Together!" Harry grabbed Voldemort around the neck and pulled him off the tower. Voldemort grabbed my wrist pulling me down with them. I screamed and felt the familiar weightlessness of the Death Eater transport. It was over before I knew it and slammed hard on the stone courtyard floor. I pulled myself up and saw Harry crawling towards his wand while Voldemort was crawling towards his.
They jumped up and threw spells at the same time. The spells locked together. I pulled myself up. I looked down at myself. I was in bad shaped. My ankle had to be broken and I think my left shoulder was dislocated. I gritted my teeth together and limped my way over to Harry. This was it. This is where I was going to help Harry defeat Voldemort.
You know how they say before you die your life flashes before your eyes… That's what was happening now. Each pain step I took, I remembered a special moment with my brother or Draco. My heart was pounding in my ears. Was this going to work? Or hurt? Would Draco be able to reach me in time?
Draco.
I wanted to grow old with him. I wanted to have his children. I wanted it so bad. I saw Voldemort's spell weaken and I saw how hard he had to hold his weight against Harry. Nagini was dead. I could feel it. I could see it on Voldemort's pain expression. Now, it was my turn. Harry locked eyes with me.
I weakly smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. The second I even touched him, I felt everything drain from me. Voldemort's spell was getting weaker and weaker, and so was I. I gripped onto Harry hard. Harry's spell broke Voldemort's; it looked as if Voldemort broke into pieces.
I took one gasp and my legs gave out. "Alex!" Harry caught me right as I fell. My vision was going blurry; I weakly smiled up at Harry. He and I both knew that Draco wasn't going to get to me in time. "DRACO!" Harry screamed.
The world went black and I felt me breathe my last breath.
0000000
I heard my name being yelled right as I ran into the courtyard. Harry was holding a pale Alex. "Go!" Hermione shoved me forward and I dashed towards Harry. I dropped next to them and I then noticed that my necklace was completely black.
"No!" I screamed bruising her hair out of her face. Her face was pale and her skin was ice cold. I was too late. Alex was dead. "Draco, kiss her! See what happens!" Harry yelled bring me out of my stated of depression. I didn't even hesitate. I brought my lips down to her cold dead ones and kissed her with as much passion as I had in me. All the years that I stared at her from afar, all the love I had in my body, was in that one simply kiss.
I pulled back and nothing happened. Then suddenly our necklaces began to glow and float up. The necklaces wrapped around one another and lights began to shoot out of them. "What is going on?" Ron whimpered kneeling down beside me as I stared up at the necklaces.
"Draco." I looked away and saw Philip around him were other ghost. They were the students that lost their lives today. Fred Weasley stood next to Philip with a smug look on his face. "Fred?" Ron gasped.
"Hey kiddo, watch after George for me. Tell everyone I love them and I'll always be with them. Harry, be good to my sister. Draco, don't you let this kid go… She's too good to be true." Fred looked down at Alex that was lying limply in Harry's arms.
"Why are all of you here?" I finally choked out. I didn't realize I was crying till Philip smiled sadly at me. "Don't cry, mate. You won the girl, didn't you? After all those years of not growing the balls to tell my sister, you finally got her… Dumbledore knew you two were good. He knew. We all wanted to come and thank you, Harry. He's gone, he's finally gone and it's because of you. None of us died in vain. I died for my sister. If I wasn't dead by the time, you walked into the forest; he was going to kill her instead of you. He knew that Draco and I would stop at nothing to revenge her death. He thought he might as well kill the three kids that made him look like a fool." Philip paused and walked towards Alex.
He placed his hand on her arm and kissed her forehead. "Marry her. Have lots of children. I will always be with you and Alex." He disappeared with the others. The necklaces dropped to the ground and Alex gasped for air. She blinked once and then twice.
Harry helped her sit up and she gave me one of her famous smiles.
"Took you long enough, Draco" She whispered. I choked out a sob and grabbed her pulling her close to my chest. I had almost lost her. I had almost lost the one thing that had me waking up in the morning. She was the reason I was alive.
She was my soul mate till my dying breath.
