Into the Light
Prompt: The Light by Sara Bareilles. @drarrymicrofic Rated: M, female drarry (TW: canon usual violence, temporarily major character death, Deathly Hallows AU). Words: 344. I strongly recommend that you read this while you listen to the song's prompt.
Draco learns of the raid to Bill's and Fleur's wedding moments before it happens and decides to apparate to warn Harry. This changes some things. This story is also the tale of two women falling in love amid difficult circumstances.
Draco has seconds of advantage. She apparates before the Death Eaters in the middle of the Weasley wedding, sees Potter immediately, and shouts, “They’re coming now!” Draco runs through the cracks of apparition and follows Potter, along with Weasley and Granger into the dark.
***
It’s been months. Ron has just left and Hermione is shouting after him. Draco takes the locket out of Harry’s hand and guides her to her cot; she crumbles upon it. Draco crouches before her and says, “I’ll follow you into the light. We all will.”
Harry’s eyes shine with unshed tears and Draco keeps going, “I’m gonna trust you. I do, babe.” Harry swallows and Draco kisses her for the first time, “If you say we’re gonna be alright, I’ll look into your eyes and follow you into the light”.
Harry nods, rests her forehead on Draco’s chest and chokes on her sobs.
***
Draco thrusts her wand at Harry like they’ve practised since Hermione broke Harry’s wand in Batilda Bagshot’s house. Harry blocks the spell Crabbe casts with Draco’s wand like it’s hers because it is. Draco trusts her. Draco loves her; she has followed her here, and her wand is no different. It loves Harry, it is Harry’s now.
***
“I trust you, babe,” Draco whispers through her numbed lips and the tears. “You said we’d be alright.” Draco has followed Harry until this point, where Harry lays immobile in Hagrid’s arms across the Hogwarts courtyard, where nothing Draco knew matters, where everything she was before Harry, she can do without. “I trust you.” Draco prays when her world is coming down, crushing.
***
Among the chaos, after Harry awakens, Draco thrusts her wand again at her, following her into the light.
After Voldemort dies and Draco has Harry in her arms, burning like Harry is the sun, Harry takes Draco’s face in her hands and says, “I’m here with you now. I have worn your love into the light” and kisses her in the middle of what remains after the battle. They will be alright.
