Draco was halfway up the path when he realized something. Actually, two somethings.
For one, his father was under house arrest for previous Death Eater crimes so there was no way he could've killed her. And two, his parents didn't know that he was married to Luna. Going in and demanding if his father had killed his wife would be utter chaos.
He turned around and sighed. He was not himself today. He knew his father didn't kill her, and now he had more proof, but he just wanted to make sure.
So he disapparated. He didn't know where to go, which was dangerous, but he was guided somewhere.
Draco realized where he was after a few moments. He was on the roof of a building. A tall building.
He frowned. Strange. It was getting dark, and he couldn't figure out where he was.
The blonde was thinking of leaving the roof when a sound of footsteps made the hairs on his neck stand on end and his blood turn cold. He sensed something evil.
The footsteps came from behind him, so he turned around to see a figure dressed in black.
It could've been a woman or a man, he couldn't tell, and either way they could use Polyjuice Potion to make them someone else. Anyways, he watched the figure get closer until they lifted their head to make eye contact with Draco.
He could tell by the eyes. Draco had found the person-the man-that had showed up on the screen with his father's name.
Draco balled his fists. "What do you want?"
The guy drew a wand. "Don't you want to finish me off?"
The voice was taunting and cruel, and it provoked Draco to charge. He punched the other in the mouth, hard.
This person had good reflexes, and caught Draco's wrist and twisted it before slamming the Slytherin into a roof entrance made of bricks. Draco recovered, and pulled out his wand.
He cast a stupefy, but it was deflected and he had to duck behind a heating duct to avoid a disarming charm sent his way.
He came out from behind the heater and they began to duel.
"So you did it? You killed her?" Draco shouted over the flying spells.
"Of course I did! And for your own good!"
This made Draco even more angry, if possible.
"Crucio!" He said, and he watched the enemy writhe and scream for a few seconds before throwing off the spell.
The battle was becoming intense, they were now using Unforgivables, and the sky kept getting darker, with their spells the only light near them.
Draco couldn't believe that it was only this morning that Luna had died. It seemed like forever ago.
But his thoughts were interrupted as he was disarmed by his opponent. The next few seconds were a blur. Draco leaped high and grabbed his wand in the air, six feet above the roof, and landed hard on his right ankle.
He ran to his opponent and punched again, wanting to fight for real. Draco watched as the eyes of the enemy glared and thrust out a hand. Draco was expecting a punch, and therefore was surprised when he felt a hand enclose around his neck.
He could barely breath. The man smiled wickedly and held Draco over the edge of the building. Draco grabbed at his hands, trying to escape, but to no avail. He glanced down. They were so high the sight made him dizzy. He would be dead on impact for sure.
"Now you can join your beloved wife, and I can walk away from you two filthy corpses. Hope you enjoy death, Malfoy."
"You won't be able to walk away this time!" Draco gasped.
The person looked confused, and Draco took the opportunity to kick him in the soft spot hard. He felt the grip on his neck relax, and he fell, catching onto the ledge of the building.
The man was recovering. This was his only chance. Draco aimed his wand and the man was bound in ropes. He couldn't move, but he managed to kick the wand out of Draco's hand once he had fell on the ground of the roof.
His wand fell, and Draco watched it before trying to decide the best way to get back up. But next thing he knew, his fingers had been smashed by the man's foot, and he let go of the ledge.
There was a terrifying few moments while he fell, the ground racing towards him. But he felt himself slowing down before blacking out on the cement sidewalk.
A/N: Cliffhanger! Admittedly not my best writing, sorry! I was in a rush and wanted to get it done. I hope you liked it though, the next chapter will be the end! Unless you guys want a sequel... ;) Tell me what you think!
