Draco Kills Dumbledore

Draco Malfoy's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe this. There I was, with the best chance to kill Albus Dumbledore I could ever hope to have and yet, despite the Dark Lord's order to kill Dumbledore and his threats to my family should I fail, I hesitated. If at least Snape hadn't stolen my father's place among the Death Eaters.

Then the old 'speak of the devil' saying became true the worst way possible: Severus Snape appeared. The now disarmed Albus Dumbledore is silently pleading. Did the old fool finally understand he couldn't trust him? Then I saw Snape readying his wand and understood what he was about to do: kill Albus Dumbledore. That's it. I wouldn't stand still and let him steal my only chance to restore my family's honor and keep the Dark Lord from killing my family. "Fiendfyre!" I yelled while pointing my wand at Dumbledore, painfully killing him.

Nobody's P.O.V.

"Run!" Snape yelled and then the other Death Eaters ran away. When Snape noticed Harry Potter uselessly trying to save Dumbledore, the former Potions Master knew what to do. "Levicorpus!" Harry is then pulled away from danger. "Let me go, Snape! We can still save the Professor…"

"Forget it, Potter." Snape replied. "Nothing can put out Fiendfyre. Not even Aguamenti. Fiendfyre destroys anything on a way no conventional magic can repair."

"Liar." Harry accused. "You're a Death Eater. You probably feared he'd no longer believe you regretted telling Voldemort…"

"DON'T SAY THAT NAME!" Snape yelled.

"…about the prophecy that made him kill my parents."

For a millisecond, Snape seemed like feeling guilty over this but he soon recovered. "You're lucky the Dark Lord ordered us not to kill you so he'd have the pleasure of doing it himself."

"You're just afraid of doing anything without Dumbledore to defend you." Harry replied.

"Silence, Potter." Snape commanded while taking him to the dungeons.

"I wish the Prince would have taught me how to defend against Levicorpus." Harry silently muttered. Apparently it wasn't low enough Snape wouldn't hear as he said: "Didn't you figure it out, Potter? I am the Half-Blood Prince."

Please Review. Some of my regular readers might be wondering about my sudden usage of past tense. Some readers complained that present tense is hard to follow so I'm trying past tense to see if I can work with it as well. Don't get used to it. And what do you think of the idea of Draco Malfoy being able to kill Dumbledore?
