Disclaimer: Obviously I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter tis all J.K Rowling's.
Chapter One- The incident in the tower
Draco trembled as he pointed his wand at the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.
"Please…Draco you do not have to do this, I can help you." Albus managed feebly. The last Horcrux they had discovered was still taking its toll. Harry stared in horror as Dumbledore, the man he saw as a mentor struggled to even stand and here he was being threatened by that weasel…worst of all he, Harry, could do nothing but stand there and watch.
"You cannot hope to comprehend the power of the Dark Lord, or how long his shadow reaches…if I don't kill you another one of your precious students will…you're dead either way old man…I may as well save myself by delivering the final blow." 'COWARD!' The word screamed through Harry's head. He heard footsteps racing towards the Astronomy tower. 'Please be a member of the Order.' Harry begged silently.
Bellatrix Lestrange barged in with two others Harry didn't recognise.
"Do it Malfoy!" A rather unkempt man smiled maliciously.
"Yes nephew what better way to be welcomed into the Death Eaters than with Dumbledore's head on a platter." Bellatrix cackled. Harry's heart pounded in his chest as he heard the insane laughter of the woman that killed his godfather.
'I can't let this happen…' He screamed inwardly, the faces of his loved ones flashed through his mind, they needed Dumbledore as did he, 'I've watched too many people die for my sake, well I'm not ready to lose anybody else to that snake.' A warm feeling manifested within his chest. He closed his eyes and allowed the feeling to flow over him. He could feel it, it was his magic…it erupted within him and instinctively he muttered the words 'finite incantatem' The body bind ended and his magic began to take physical form.
Severus burst into the room and instantly surveyed the scene. Draco's wand was still pointed at the Headmaster, but the other three seemed more interested in the other corner of the room. An emerald light snaked towards them as none other than Harry Potter emerged from underneath an invisibility cloak.
"Please Harry, no…" Dumbledore sighed, he could be lost…but not Harry, he was needed. Without him all was lost.
"Stupefy." Harry muttered, the green energy filled the room casting the spell on all of the room's members (including Dumbledore.)
"Finite Incantatem." He flicked his wrist towards the headmaster and freed him of the jinx. Dumbledore could see from the glazed over expression in the youths eyes that he was drawing on his most primal source of magic…and what a great amount he had of it.
"What shall I do with them Headmaster?" He questioned.
"Let them kill me." Harry frowned. "Harry I am dying, I know this; I have told Severus that he is more important to the Order than I am, he is bound by wizards bond to kill me in the event that Draco could not. He told me this…if he does not kill me he dies…and he…" Dumbledore trailed off incredibly tired and for once Harry could see the mans true age.
"But headmaster we…I need you."
"Harry my dear boy, I have taught you all I can given my current state I shall be dead within a week anyway…please Severus is vital to the order…defend him for me." Harry moved to speak but Dumbledore beat him to it.
"Petrificus totalus. I am sorry Harry." He levitated Harry back to the corner of the room and placed the invisibility cloak back over him. "Obliviate…" He erased everyone's memories of the previous few moments and placed himself back within the scene he had concocted. If this was to be how he died then he knew his last words to Draco would have a lasting effect…eventually he would choose the right side. Now all that was left was for Severus to kill him.
"Finite Incantatem." The Death Eaters were freed from the spell; Dumbledore looked into the potions masters eyes and gave him a slight nod as the man muttered the fatal words.
"Avada Kedavra." Dumbledore had a small smile playing on his lips as he fell to the floor. He had witnessed Harry's dormant power tonight, there was no way that Voldemort could win once Harry learned how to fully utilise that power.
Severus head bowed for a mere moment as he mourned the man who was like a father to him, then he did all he could...he ran.
