A/N: HELLLOO! So I was wondering if you guys would be down for me to do a sequel to this story! I want to know if anyone would even be interested in reading it before I do it…. So please Review/DM and let me know if you'd want one!

ALSO! This Chap depicts the Battle of the Astronomy tower. I used a mixture of what was described in the book, shown in the movie, and my own version! ALL RIGHTS GO TO Queen Rowling & Warner Bros.

Theo's POV:

"THEO, Wake up!"

"Ughhhhhh…."

I was abruptly awoken by water being poured onto me. "OI WHAT THE HELL!" I open my eyes to see Goyle standing next to my bed.

"Theo, Stop shouting, the others are still sleeping."

I looked around the room to see the empty beds of Draco and Lucas, as well as Blaise, Crabbe, and Adrian sound asleep in theirs.

"What's going on Greg?"

"Draco's fixed it. It's time. They sent me to alert you before they call the others. Put your shoes on, let's go." I looked at the clock: 12:15 P.M. – looks like this was going to be a night battle. Good. That minimizes the casualties.

Goyle and I had arrived at the room of requirement and saw Lucas nervously pacing back and forth. He and Draco looked up and saw us, "Finally! You're late!"

I scoffed, "You could have started without us." Draco was about to say something yet remained quiet. Instead, he pulled up his sleeve and pressed on the Dark Mark. I felt my own heat up and heard a stirring inside of the cabinet. The door opened and Alecto Carrow stepped out with her brother, Amycus. Next, Mr. Yaxley stepped out, patting Lucas on the back and standing next to him. Logan Rowle's father, Thorfinn, walked out next; he asked us how Logan was doing as he brushed off some dust from his cloak. Then Gibbon. Then Fenrir Greyback. And finally, Bellatrix Lestrange walked out with a wicked smile upon her face, "Who's ready to kill the Headmaster?" She let out a cackle and walked towards the exit of the room and we followed close behind. Draco caught up and stopped us by the door. "Wait," he held up his hand in warning, "Potter's stupid friends are guarding the halls – I've got something that will hide us." He opened the door and dropped Peruvian Darkness Powder to ensure our escape. We began running down the halls as curses soared all around us.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Petrificus Totalum!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Sectumsempra!"

"Stupefy!"

I turned around to see Gibbon laying dead on the floor and my eyes widened. After Draco was nearly killed by a flying killing curse I grabbed his arm, "WE NEED TO FIND DUMBLEDORE NOW!" Snape popped out of nowhere and informed us that Harry and Dumbledore would fly up to the astronomy tower in a matter of minutes. We started running up for the tower with Lucas and Goyle behind us, still firing curses towards Order members. I heard Snape yell out the information to the other Death Eaters.

We arrived at the tower's door and I opened it quietly, pushing Draco up the stairs. He looked back at me with eyes that could only be described by two words – fear and regret. My hand was still grasping his arm, not wanting to let go any time soon. If this didn't go well, this could be the last moment that I'd have with my best friend. I nodded and he proceeded up the stairs as I remained at the bottom. I heard a thump at the highest floor – that was probably Headmaster and Potter. I looked up through the holes of the floor plan and saw something strange happen – Dumbledore pushed potter to the floor below his, disillusioned, and casted a full-body binding curse on him. What is he doing? I slowly made my way up the stairs, careful to not be seen.

Then, I heard them. "Good Evening, Draco."

Draco's POV:

I reached the highest floor and was greeted, "Good Evening, Draco."

"Who else is here? I heard you talking to someone."

"I'm alone." Silence. "Draco – you don't have to do this. You are many things; but an assassin is not amongst that list."

"How do you know what I am? You'd be amazed at the things I've done."

"And amazed I am. I recall your first year at Hogwarts – the top of your class. Behind Granger of course. And the years after that? You received the same grades as Ms. Granger, have you told anyone else? Then, a seeker on the quidditch team as a young second year. Then captain. Then prefect. And it has been decided already that you are to be head boy next year."

I began to shake as I felt my knees trembling. "SHUT UP. Don't make this harder than it already is." I pushed up my sleeve ad showed him my dark mark. "I was chosen. I was given a task. I gave Katie that necklace and Slughorn that poisoned mead. It was my fault Bell and Weasley were hospitalized. And now…" He raised his wand at me. "EXPELLIARMUS!"

"Draco, I once knew a boy many years ago who made all of the wrong choices. Please, let me help you. Let me help all of you. Mr. Nott? Mr. Yaxley? Mr. Goyle? You may show yourselves now, I know you're here." I watched the three come into view. Dumbledore continued, "I can help all of you. The Order will help to protect you and hide you and your mothers." He looked at Lucas, "and Lucy and Amelie," then at Theodore, "Daphne and Astoria," and then at Goyle, "and your brother, George." I slowly began to lower my wand but a loud bang came from the tower's doors only a few feet below us. Dumbledore looked at me, "there are others? How did you manage-"?

"The vanishing cabinet. I've mended it."

A small smile appeared on his face, "I made the right choice choosing you as head boy – but if you'd only let me-"

"NO! Don't you understand? I need to kill you. I need to kill you or else he's going to kill me."

Daphne's POV:

I was awakened in the middle of the night to sounds of yelling and large explosions. I shot up from my bed to see the other girls standing by the door. It then busted open, revealing Blaise and Adrian. "The Death Eaters are in the castle. Order members are fighting them in the halls. We need to help Draco, Lucas, Goyle, and Theo." Theo… Lucy attempted to leave the room only to be held back by Adrian, "LET ME GO! That's my brother," she sobbed. "I CAN'T LET HIM DO THIS ALONE." Adrian held her; Lilith, Pansy, and Tracey all held hands. Then Milicent spoke up, "We need to help them." We all looked at her. Sweet, smart, Milly – who for some reason has been dating Greg since our fourth year – was insisting we help fight. This was the girl who couldn't even kill a fly. Then Crabbe appeared, "Mates, we've got to get moving." Blaise and Adrian looked at each other and nodded. Adrian looked at Lucy, "Luc- you need to stay here. For Amelie. If worst comes to worst, she's going to need at least one sibling alive." Lucy nodded and began sobbing uncontrollably as Lilith stepped forward and held her; "I'll stay with her and Amelie." She looked at the rest of us, "Pansy, Milly – you guys stay here and guard the front door. We don't need small first years attempting to be brave and ending up dead." She looked at me, "Coming?"

"Yeah. Lilith? Lucy? Please watch after Astoria and make sure she does not leave the room. I don't care if you have to stupefy her or even petrify her. Don't let her out of your side." They nodded and we all went our separate ways – Blaise, Adrian, Crabbe, Tracey, and I heading towards oblivion.

Theo's POV:

Dumbledore had promised us a way out of this situation. I watched Draco lower his wand and saw next to me, Lucas and Goyle's desperate eyes. The four of us wanted an out more than anything. But then a noise came from downstairs and I knew it all chips were in.

Bellatrix, Mr. Yaxley, Greyback, and Mr. Rowle walked joined us in the room. I looked between the holes in the floor to see the Carrow siblings guarding the door. I gulped, this was it.

Draco's POV:

"Draco darling, very good." My aunt came close to me and kissed the back of my shoulder. "NOW DO IT DRACO!" I was frozen. I couldn't move as I watched Professor stand in front of me. His eyes pleading with my own. I couldn't do it.

Greyback snorted, "He hasn't got any stomach. I'll do it myself."

Mr. Yaxley yelled out, "NO! HE HAS TO DO IT HIMSELF. STUPEFY." Greyback flew backwards, hitting a wall. Mr. Yaxley looked at me and nodded, "Now, Draco." I took one more look at Dumbledore and opened my mouth to speak the unforgivable curse. But then Snape showed up and pointed his wand towards Dumbledore.

"Severus.." Snape didn't speak back.

"Severus… Please…"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Dumbledore's body plummeted outside of the hole that Astoria and I sat next to just a few days ago. Snape looked at all of and yelled, "MOVE. NOW." They revived Greyback and we all bolted for the door, knowing that an even larger fight would ensue.

It appeared as if more Order members had arrived and curses began flying around once more. The older Death Eaters started firing back with no hesitation and Greyback pounced on the eldest Weasley child. Snape turned around at the four of us and said, "Get to the gates and apparate back. NOW!" The four of us began running through the halls while dodging jinxes and curses. Goyle yelled at us to follow him as he opened a door. Once inside, I realized it was a secret passage.

Lucas asked, "Oi, how the hell do you know about this?"

"Crabbe and I know every inch of the castle. How d'ya think we get food in the middle of the night." We all started laughing and stopped as soon as our thoughts came back to reality. He opened the door and we bumped into another group. On instinct, we raised our wands only to realize that it was our own friends. Adrian laughed, "We were on the way to help, and you do this?" Lucas gave them a quick run through of what had happened. I looked at everyone and noticed Theodore staring at Daphne while she stared at the ground, obviously avoiding him. What was going on between them? As the group started to discuss the various ways to get to the gates, I walked towards Daphne.

She looked up at me and we stared at each other for a while. Daphne had always been the more fragile and emotional Greengrass. She was a girly girl and was certainly not to be described as brave. Yet, here she was, ready to participate in a deadly battle. She whispered, "We've broken up."

And then Goyle spoke loudly, "Okay we've got it. Let's go."

"But they've called the ministry. What if we don't get out?" Lucas questioned.

"Well, we haven't gotten any choice. And that's the easiest way. We need to go now."

We said our goodbyes and watched Lucas start crying as he hugged Adrian, who looked as if he was about to cry as well. " You take care of my sister, all right? If I don't make it out of this shite alive you better take good care of her. And you better treat her right and if Mathias ever hurts Amelie, kill him." Tracey and Daphne began tearing up as well and I pulled Daphne in a close hug. I whispered, "Go back to Astoria. Don't ever let her leave your sight." She sobbed softly in my chest and mumbled back, "Take care of him as well, Draco." We separated and before we turned the corner into the next hallway, I watched Theo look back.

We made it out of the castle unscathed and heard the screams of pain and chaos behind us. Aunt Bellatrix was causing quite a scene – it reminded me so much of Gabby. I frowned at the thought and continued running. The four of us made it to the gates first and looked back once more. Mr. Rowle had set Hagrid's hut on fire. Mr. Yaxley was the first to join us, pulling Lucas into a hug. He was probably the only Death Eater to show their child any form of affection. He said, "We need to go now. The rest will meet us there."

I looked up at the dark mark in the sky and inhaled a deep breath, then, **Pop**
