*'My options!' I screamed in fury, 'I'm standing here with a wand- I'm about to kill you-'
'My dear boy, let us have no more pretence about that. If you were going to kill me, you would have done it when you first Disamred me, you would not have stopped for this pleasant chat about ways and means'
'I haven't got any options!' I said, my face paled and the horrid truth of the words sunk in. 'I've got to do it! He'll kill me! He'll kill my family!'
'I appreciate the difficulty of your position,' Dumbledore told me. 'Why else do you think I have not confronted you before now? Because I knew that you would have been murdered if Lord Voldemort realized that I suspected you.'
I flinched at the sound of his name. I gave my self a mental kick, Get a grip, Draco!
'I did not dare speak to you of the mission with which I knew you had been entrusted, in cases he used Legilimency against you,' he continued. 'But now at last we can speak plainly to each other… no harm done, you haven't hurt anybody, though you are very lucky that your unintentional victims survived… I can help you, Draco.'
I felt my resolve begin to waver… could he really help? No! It was impossibly to defy the Dark Lord. 'No, you can't,' I said, my raised wand shaking violently. 'Nobody can. He told me to do it or he'll kill me. I've got no choice.' No one can hide from him…
'Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban… when the time comes we can protect him too… come over to the right side, Draco… you are not a killer…'
I stared at the man. 'But I got this far, didn't I?' I said slowly. 'They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here… and you're in my power… I'm the one with the wand… you're at my mercy…' My resolve shattered with every word.
'No, Draco,' Dumbledore said quietly. 'It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now.'
I didn't speak. My mouth hung open like a fool… my hand trembling… dropping…*
'That's a good boy… Harry…' Dumbledore waved his hand to the left and Potter suddenly appeared there.
'What the hell is Potter doing here?!' I demanded. Was he there the whole time? He must have been…
'You two must hurry, we don't have much time.' He went on. 'You and Harry must find Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasly. Once you have done so, find Professor McGonagall and tell her of our situation here. She will help you find some where to stay, Draco. Now, you must promise me that you will not stop, and talk to anyone. Death Eaters are here, and we want a clean escape! Go! Be quick!'
We fled out the window and ran along the castle wall. We ran in irritated silence as we heard fights go on below us. We didn't get far when we both stopped in out tracks. From behind us were we just were, there was a bang and a high, screeching laugh. We looked at the Astronomy Tower were we just were and through the window we saw figures moving around… Amycus, Alecto, Fenrir and Snape. Potter took a few steps forward and I (for some un-known stupid reason) grabbed his arm to stop him. He looked back at me and tugged his arm out of my grasp. He turned back and continued to walk forward.
Then, suddenly a flash of green light, and Dumbledore tumbled out the other window, falling to the ground far below. Potter sucked in an air of breath as if he were going to shout.
'Potter!' I whispered. 'If you say one bloody word I'll kill you!'
He hesitated for a second then continued along the wall. We made it to the Main Hall when he stopped.
'Here, put this on.' He handed me a cloak.
'Why should I accept this?' I sneered not taking the Cloak.
'Do you want to die?' He asked thrusting the Cloak at me.
I took the Cloak gingerly and put it on myself.
'Stay close.' He whispered as we proceeded up a flight of stairs.
We came to a picture of a fat lady in a pink gown; The Gryffindor Common Room. He said the pass word as we entered the room. The room was crowed with panicked kids. Guilt filled my stomach as I saw many tear stained faces. I caused this.
'Wait here.' He commanded as he hurried off into the crowd.
I was left standing in the door way, invisible. I took this time to reflect on my situation.
I had defied the Dark Lord.
No one defies the Dark Lord, and I had.
If I'm not killed by the Dark Lord first, my father will surely do the duty. My mother might be glad with our situation…
I was seeking help from the other side… with Potter no less!
Where will we go? Surely we can't stay in the country…
Then Potter came back with Wealsy and that filthy mud-blood Granger. Her eyes scanned the door way, obvious of the situation. We hurried out of the Common Room, I followed closely behind them, none of us saying a word.
'Were is Professor McGonagall?' the mud-blood asked.
'Dunno,' Potter answered.
'She must be fighting some where.' Weasly piped in… god these people are disgusting.
'Malfoy?' Potter muttered.
'What?' I sneered from under the Cloak. He glanced in my direction and nodded.
We came to the Great Hall and saw McGonagall scurrying about.
'Professor.' Potter said. 'We had a… problem.'
'What is it Potter?' she asked 'Surely you can see that this is not the time-'
'Dumbledore is dead.' He cut in.
'I beg your pardon?' she said in disbelief.
Potter continued to explain everything that happened. He told her of my mission to kill Dumbledore, told her how he had agreed to help me and my family, how he entrusted her with helping me and my mother. How Dumbledore had actually died, and told her were the body is.
'And were, may I ask, is Mr. Malfoy now?' she asked.
'Behind me, and to the left.' The mud-blood answered.
She looked straight at me. It was almost as if she could see me now that she knew exactly were I was. 'Follow me.' She said.
We made our way down the halls and to the big stone eagle of the Headmasters office.
'Excuse me, Professor.' Potter said. 'Why are we going here?'
'Well, Potter, I am Headmistress of Hogwarts now until decided other wise.'
We entered the office. "Remove the Cloak, Mr. Malfoy.' I did as I was told and gave the cloak to Potter. 'Well, Mr. Malfoy… we will have you and your mother stay in separate places for the time being. It will be safer if you stay apart. Now, were to put you…' She started passing the office, in silence. I looked behind the desk and saw a portrait of Dumbledore sleeping in his chair. Guilt again built in my stomach.
'Well, you can't stay in the wizarding world, that's for sure.' McGonagall continued.
'What, you mean stay with muggles?' my tone questioned her sanity.
'Do you wish to live, Malfoy?' the mud-blood asked me from across the room.
