Chapter 1: The End is where it all starts.

Draco's POV:

Spells were being shot in every direction, red and green lights were flashing before my eyes, bodies falling to the ground, as the life that once seized them ebbed away.

Victims of both the light and dark were being lost, and it made me question my decision, it made me realize that this was it, this was war and the outcome would initially determine the fall or rise of the wizarding world.

Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts as a high pitched and creepy cackle echoed around the ground of my former school Hogwarts.

I knew who that sound belonged too, I had often heard it from when I was a little boy to the near adult I was now.

Without a second thought, I was running towards the place the sound came from, running towards my aunt would be, running towards Bellatrix Lestrange.

When I finally stopped to catch my breath, I knew I shouldn't off, for I saw my friend Blaise on the ground convulsing and spitting up blood, I felt sick and didn't know what to do, I started to panic but that's when a cool hand touched my shoulder.

Turning round I was met with the chocolate brown orbs of Hermione Granger, too say I was confused was an understatement. Granger obviously saw my confusion through my eyes before sending a sad smile my way.

She slowly walked over to where Blaise laid and knelt down, I saw her eyes close as she drew out her wand and her mouth moved quickly as she whispered a spell.

A yellow glow started to surround Blaise, as Hermione chanted yet she did not stop until Blaise's body had stopped convulsing, when he had he looked much more peaceful and comfortable.

Hermione then stood up, nodded to me and then took off running back into the battle, dodging and casting spells as she went.

My respect grew for the Mudblood, even thought we were on different sides of the battle, she wouldn't let anyone suffer, bloody Gryffindor, but he was thankful, and she had saved his only friend.

I walked over to Blaise and sat down, deciding I would talk to him.

"You know Blaise, were going to be okay, No matter what happens, and were always have each other because we are brothers, even if it's not by blood"

I could feel my eyes tearing up as I looked at Blaise's broken body next to me but suddenly Blaise tried to speak, It was a whisper and I had to strain to hear it yet when I heard what he said, it was louder than everything else around me.

"Mate you know it's not going to be okay, i'm as good as dead, I can feel it, i'm fading away but much more peacefully thanks to that Gryffindor... Draco, we are brothers no matter what, so please listen to me... Do the RIGHT thing! "

And that was when I heard Blaise take his final breath and that broke me, the tears finally escaped and I let my cold heart feel.
