Potions Class Draco p.o.v.
Professor Slughorn is teaching in fear. My seventh year is nothing but dangerous. The Carrows are in charge of discipline and I wish they didn't trust me. I know that means I am safe from them and they won't hurt me but, that means the Order and Dumbledore's Army wants me dead. I wish I could go back in time and run away from my father like I wanted to. If only I didn't have a Dark Mark, if only my father didn't force me to be who he wanted me to be, if only I could be a spy for the Order. I glance over at Neville Longbottom. He is bruised and has a black eye. The Carrows. I hate them. Why is Snape doing this? He was supposed to be a good guy. "Psst...Longbottom." He glances at me and glares daggers. If looks could kill I would be dead. "What?" He says his voice full of malice. How do I help him? "The Room of Requirement. You need need to use it to hide from the Carrows." "Why should I trust you Malfoy?" "Quiet boys." Slughorn says. I feel like the chain around my neck is choking me. It is the only key to Grimmauld Place, the Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. My cousin Sirius left it for me in his will. If you ever need help cousin show them this key as a sign of trust he said. It was the only thing he didn't give to Potter. I pull of the chain and rub my neck. "This is the only key to the Order Headquarters. Sirius Black gave it to me in his will. No one knows about this key except for me and a man who's in his grave. It will break any wards inside the house. If this doesn't prove my allegiance what does?" I whisper-yell to him. He relaxes just a little. "If you tell any of your Death Eater friends where we are I will kill you if I survive." I don't have Death Eater friends. I never would. I nod showing I understand him. I will never tell anyone Longbottom. I owe you that much for trusting me
The next day in Potions didn't show up and slowly only Slytherins were in the class. I never told anyone where they all hid. Only me knew from the outside. But I wished I could join them there. I would never had been trusted. No one knew that I gave them the idea except me and Neville Longbottom.
