You walked down the stairs quietly. There it was... The little boat house the Dark Lord and Severus were in. Harry looked at you and you nodded. You slowly walked closer and sat against the wall next to one of the windows.

'You have performed extraordinary magic with this wand, my lord. This in the last few hours alone.' Your heard Severus speak.

Harry looked at you and you got a better grip on your wand.

'No... no... I am extraordinary and the wand resists me.' Voldemort said.

You looked through the green painted glass. They were standing at a good distance and you had a prefect view. How to get in... that was the question. Harry sat down against an extension of the wall and looked at you.

'There is no wand more powerful... tonight when the boy comes, it will not fail you. I'm sure of it.' Severus spoke.

Voldemort stared at him for a while.

'It answers to you... and you only.' Severus added.

'Does it?' He asked softly.

'Harry, we have to get in.' You whispered. 

'We can't! He'll kill us on the spot, we have to wait for a while.'

'What if he dies?! Then we'll be too late!'

'Do you want to die?!'

You sighed and looked back inside.

'My lord...' Severus spoke.

'The wand doesn't truly answer to me... you're a clever man Severus... surely you must know.'

Voldemort walked a circle around him. You swallowed and wanted to get up but Harry pulled you back. He shook his head.

'But where does it's true loyalty lay?'

'With you of course... my lord.' Severus answered.

'Harry please... We have to help him...'

You could feel that something was going to happen. Harry looked at you.

'Y/N, Severus isn't in danger. With the Dark Lord there we'll die in a matter of seconds! You have to be patient.'

You sighed and sat back again.

'The elder wand... The wand can't serve me properly because I am not it's true master. The elder wand belongs to the wizards who killed it's last owner... you killed Dumbledor Severus.'

You swallowed and your hands started to shake. Why did you suddenly feel like you had to protect him? Maybe because he saved you a couple of times... you wanted to return the favour. Maybe you just wanted to get to know him.

'Harry... p-please.' You asked with a shivering breath.

'We can't Y/N... Please stay where you are.'

'And watch him die?! He's my godfather.'

'I know... but you have to make sure you survive. Think about your own safety first.'

You didn't say anything and looked back.

'While you live the elder wand cannot truly be mastered by me.'

You swallowed and took hold of the wall. You wand almost broke because of your grip.

'You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus... but only I can live for ever.'

'No... no...' you chocked.

You got up and wanted to run towards the door but Harry grabbed you and pulled you down.

'I'm not letting you die. I told my friends to tell your boyfriend that you're safe!' He hissed.

'I can't leave my godfather to die!' You said while trying to get him off you.

'My lord...' you heard Severus say.

A spell hit him and you saw him fell against the window you were looking at.

'N-'

Harry covered your mouth.

'Y/N, you have to stay calm... We can't help him... We can't.'

'Nagini... kill.' You heard Voldemort speak.

You heard the snake slamming and biting into Severus. Tears streamed down your face and blood appeared on the window.

'NO! SEVERUS!' You screamed into Harrys hand.

He pulled your head against his shoulder and you tried to push him away. Then it fell quiet... was he dead? Voldemort left. You pushed Harry away and ran towards the door. You opened it and saw him laying there against the window. 

'No... no! Please don't die... Please.' You said while running towards him.

You kneeled down besides him and Harry joined your side. You saw a big wound in his neck. You placed your hand in his neck and tried to stop the tear that wanted to escape. Severus looked at you.

'Is it true?' You asked. 'Are you my godfather? Is that why you've been protecting me?'

Severus softly nodded and gasped in pain. A tear rolled down his face.

'I'm sorry that I can't help you any longer... I wanted to tell you but I wasn't allowed to.'

'Please... Please don't die on me! Please Severus.' You cried.

'Take them... take them.' Severus spoke to you. 'Please..'

'Give me something. Quickly!' You cried.

Harry passed you a glass bottle and you caught a few of his tears. Harry did the same and caught dome tears from his other eye.

'Be good Y/N... Please...' Severus spoke.

'I can help you! Please... don't give up! Severus...'

'it's okay Y/N... it's time for me to go. Try to do your best in potions...'

You grabbed his hand and held in tightly. Tears streamed down your face and he slowly closed his eyes while his breath stopped. You let his hand go and wiped the tears from your face. Harry passed you a lit for the top of the bottle you closed it. Harry got up and a sort of whispering sound was hurt. Harry grabbed the window and you closed of your ear. It really hurt listing to it.

'You've fought valiantly, but in vain...'

Voldemort... harry looked outside and you tried to keep your ears closed.

'I do not wish this. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a terrible waste. I, therefore command my forces to retreat. In their absence, dispose your dead with dignity.'

He's leaving... you had to leave... you didn't want to leave. You had to stay here and fight... For Severus... For Draco... For your parents.

'Harry Potter, I now speak directly to you... on this night, you have allowed your friends to die for you, rather than face me yourself. There is no greater dishonor. Join me in the Forbidden Forest and confront your faith.'

You looked at Harry who was just staring outside, listening to every word. Your headache got worse the longer he spoke.

'If you do not do this, I shall kill every last man, woman and child who tries to conceal you from me.'

Then it stopped. You dropped your hands and looked at Harry.

'Harry... what are you going to do?' You asked. 

He turned around. 

'I don't know... are you okay?' He asked.

'No... but that doesn't matter.'

'Let's go back.'

You nodded and got up. You looked at Severus one more time before leaving. You walked back up the stairs onto the courtyard. All that was left was huge piles of rubbish. Fallen walls, broken glass.

'Where's everybody?' You wondered.

'I know where they are... follow me.'

You nodded and followed Harry inside.

'Wait... where's Draco? I want to see him.' You spoke.

Harry sighed and looked at you.

'We first have to find Ron and Hermione, then we know where Draco is.' He said.

'Maybe I should go look for him...'

'No Y/N! Can't you see that we have to find my friends first! Looking around now in dangerous... They know where he is! Besides, Malfoy wants me dead.' He spoke. His voice suddenly sounded forceful and angry.

'If he wanted you to die he would have told Ballatrix that it was you in the manor! Why are you suddenly angry at me?'

'You're only thinking about yourself!'

'Says the one who didn't want to save Severus!' You spat.

He looked at you and sighed.

'Listen... All of this is my fault. I should have come to the manor. I just can't live with the feeling that I'm responsible for all of this.'

'Voldemort is responsible, not you.'

You looked at the bottle in your hand. It was covered in blood. That was because one of your hands was still covered in Severus blood. Harry took you with him into the corridor. You saw the door to the great hall.

'They're in here... I hope.' He sighed.

'In the great hall? Is it safe in there?'

'Yes, we keep all the wounded and dead people in there.' He said. 'I hope nothing bad happened to them.'

'They're strong, nothing happened...'

'You don't know that.'

'The same with Draco.' You sighed.

You looked around hoping he would be around.  He wasn't... maybe he went back with all the other death eaters? You hoped that was the case. Harry walked towards the door and opened it. You looked inside and saw hundreds of people. Piles of stones that broke down. Harry slowly walked in, a bit in shock. You followed him.
