The day that I was forced to betray the man I loved, I knew my life wasn't going to be easy.
"Professor Dumbledore." I stood before the Headmaster, myarms crossed in front of mychest as Ilooked at him. His proposition, had he been serious?
"I understand if you decline, for your life will be put in extreme danger if you are discovered, I simply wanted extra precaution-"
"To makes sure Severus didn't truly join sides with the Dark Lord. I understood, Professor, but what makes you think I'd have any hold over him?"
"Without you, he would go back to the way he was before, alone and surrounding by the calling darkness. You are his shield of light, protecting him from the darkness. If you were to disappear, he'd become susceptible."
"But if I take your offer, I might disappear still."
"There's always a chance."
"Professor..." I bit my lip, turning from him for a second. Could I truly accept his offer? Could I do the very thing Snape had been trying to protect me from, would I stray from my happy, bright life to help Severus and Dumbledore?
"I'll do it. I will become a Death Eater."
