Chapter Nine
Guess what. Another epic le skip to the end of HBP.
I looked at the clock on my bedside table. It was almost time. Tonight is the last chance I have to... to kill Dumbledore.
I kept trying to convince myself that there was in his life worth saving. And, sure, there’s nothing he’s done to help me specifically, but that’s no reason to end someone’s life.
I checked my clock again. If I was going to go, I had to go now. I slowly got out bed, trying not to wake up anyone else in the dormitory. I crept out of the room, went through the portrait hole, leaving the portrait yelling behind me, asking me why I woke him up.
I slowly made my way to the Room of Requirement, walking past the space where the doors should appear. Show me the Room of Hidden Things. Show me the Room of Hidden Things. Show me the Room of Hidden Things I thought.
When I looked up, the doors were there. Trying not to think of what was about to happen, I took a deep breath and walked in.
I walked Up to the Vanishing Cabinet and open the door. I placed a green apple inside the cabinet, close the door, and sent the apple to the other cabinet. It was our symbol for when I was ready for the Death Eaters to come through. I stepped back, and about one minute later Bellatrix Lestrange walked through the cabinet, followed shortly after by dozens of more Death Eaters.
Bellatrix took a deep breath, and turned to me. She smiled at me in a way that was probably trying to be kind and reassuring, but really just freaked me out. “Well done Draco. Come now, we- or sorry, you have a mission to complete.”
I nodded, and walked to the door, when I heard someone outside. I didn’t know who it was, but I knew they couldn’t see me leading a bunch of Death Eaters through Hogwarts. I threw one of Fred and George’s Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, practically blinding whoever was out there. I lead the Death Eaters through Hogwarts. I suddenly heard Dumbledore’s voice coming from the Astronomy Tower.
Bellatrix turned towards the staircase leading to the Tower, and said, “Go. We’ll keep watch down here.” As soon as she finished saying that, people started emerging from the hallways, coming toward us. I turned and ran up the stairs, before coming to the doorway.
Below dialog from HBP whoop whoop.
I opened the door and shouted “Expelliarmus!” And watched Dumbledore’s wand fly through the air.
Dumbledore turned to me and said “Good evening, Draco.” He looked very pale.
I stepped closer, and looked around when I noticed not one broom... but two. “Who else is here?!” I demanded
“A question I might ask you. Or are you acting alone?”
“No. I’ve got backup. There are Death Eaters into your school tonight” I taunted, knowing I had to keep an act up of being some evil little shit, which I guess I was.
“Well, well. Very good indeed. You found a way to let them in, did you?” He almost sounded pleased.
“Yeah.” I realized I was panting, but I couldn’t stop it. “Right under your nose and you never realized.”
“Ingenious. Yet... forgive me... where are they now? You seem unsupported.”
“They met some of your guards. They’re having a fight down below. They won’t be long... I came in ahead. I- I’ve got a job to do.” I saw my extended arm shaking, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“Well, then, you must get on and do it, my dear boy.” I completely froze. My arms stopped shaking, and I stopped breathing. Then, Dumbledore smiled. He fucking smiled! “Draco, Draco, you are not a killer.”
“How do you know!?” I realized how silly that sounded, and felt my cheeks heat up slightly. “You don’t know what I’m capable of. You don’t know what I’ve done!”
“Oh yes, I do. You almost killed Katie Bell and Ronald Weasley. You have been trying, with increasing desperation, to kill me all year. Forgive me, Draco, but they have been feeble attempts... so feeble, to be honest, that I wonder if your heart has been really in it.”
“It has been in it!” I said vehemently. “I’ve been working on it all year, and tonight-“ I was cut off by a muffled yell, and I unconsciously looked at the door.
“Somebody is putting up a good fight. But as you were saying... yes, you have managed to introduce Death Eaters into my school, which, I admit, I thought impossible... how did you do it?”
I didn’t say anything. To be honest, I was shocked at how calmly he was taking this.
“Perhaps you ought to get in with the job alone. What if you’re backup has been thwarted by my guard? As you have perhaps realized, there are members of the Order of the Phoenix here tonight too. And after all, you don’t really need help... I have no wand at the moment... and I cannot defend myself.” I stared at him, until I saw understanding flash in his eyes, and he said “I see. You are afraid to act until they join you.”
“I’m not afraid! It’s you who should be scared!”
“But why? I don’t think you will kill me, Draco. Killing is not nearly as easy as the innocent believe... so tell me, while we wait for your friends... how did you smuggle them in here? It seems to have taken you a long time to work out how to do it”
And so I explained everything about the Vanishing Cabinet, and then about Madame Rosmerta being Imperized. A/N did I spell Imperized right? Probably not. NoNeed2CallMeSirProf I’m looking at you to correct me.
Eventually, Amycus, Alecto, Greyback, and Snape came up the staircase. I vaguely heard them telling me to kill Dumbledore, but I couldn’t bring myself to.
I was thinking about Dumbledore’s offer. My mom and me, hiding, not having to do any of this.
Then, the next thing I was consciously aware of, Snape has said “Avada Kedavra” and Dumbledore was falling from the Tower.
Can you tell I lost inspiration at the end? Probably.
So, hey, I have a question. I’m writing a Wolfstar fix because Wolfstar... and should I make it a:
Muggle AU
Or normal wizarding shit.
Let me know : ).
Also, go read MaraudersAreLife story “Can’t help falling in love” because it is really good.
Oh yeah, I might do a face reveal when I get 100 followers, so be ready for that.
Again, not edited.
Ok, goodbye guys.
