ChapterFourteen.

Ally stood in Professor McGonagall's office, still in shock. She glanced at Hermione who was also still in shock. Witnessing Katie Bell being cursed had really thrown her about. Ally clenched her fists, suddenly aware that they were slimy with sweat. She wiped them on the front of her jeans, catching Ron's eye as she did so. He smiled grimly at her. As much as she tried, she couldn't make her mouth turn up at him. She turned her attention back to Snape, and watched as Snape confirmed that the necklace was indeed cursed. Hermione gasped.

"We need to find out who did this." McGonagall muttered. Harry took a step forward.

"It was Malfoy." He looked triumphant. Ally stifled a gasp. McGonagall narrowed her eyes.

"That is a very serious accusation." She warned. Harry nodded. Ally's hearing became fuzzy. She hadn't seen Draco for a couple of nights now, him always cancelling because of homework. But what if he wasn't doing homework. What if he was planning on doing this. Come to think of it, nowadays, he was looking paler. Tired. Ally just thought it was because he hardly got any sleep, what with seeing her after hours. But something in the back of her mind made her think otherwise. She didn't look like that. Ally fought back the tears that were threatening to spill over. She swallowed and walked out the room, leaving the others to stare after her in confusion.

Silently, she down the steps and towards the Great Lake. She used to go there and think when she was younger. Sliding down the trunk of the tree, Ally let out a low sigh. She buried her face in her hands and let her thoughts roam.

Draco. Did he really have the heart to .. kill? She shuddered at the mere thought.

-x-

Ally rested her head against Draco's soft jumper. They were curled up in the sofa in the Room of Requirement, staring at the fire. Draco sighed and kissed the top of her head. Ally smiled a half smile before lifting her head up. She looked at Draco.

"Draco?" She said. He looked at her enquiringly. Ally began to fiddle with a loose thread at the bottom of her cardigan.

"You alright Ally?" Ally nodded before looking him direct in the eye.

"Draco. Did you curse Katie Bell?" There she had said it. Her voice may have faltered, but she had said it. She took a deep breath and carried on looking Draco in the eye. Draco had frozen. He bit his lip and looked down. "Draco?"

Draco swallowed. He didn't have the heart to tell Ally the truth, yet he couldn't lie to her. He watched as her eyes filled with tears. She knew.

"Ally, I'm sorry." He finally whispered. Ally nodded looking away. "Listen, I didn't want to.. But.. I had to.." His voice trailed off. Even he knew how pathetic this sounded. Ally looked at him again, the pain on her face almost broke his heart.

"Why?" Was all she managed to choke out. She was refusing to cry, for his sake he realised. Draco hung his head.

"I can't tell you." That was also pathetic. Ally stood up.

"What if you had killed her. You would be a murderer Draco. A murderer. You could have gotten sent to Azkaban. It would rip your soul. Draco.." She buried her face in her hands, the tears she had been keeping back now pouring down her face uncontrollably. Hesitantly, Draco stood up. He took a step toward her and made to hug her. Ally recoiled from his touch. Draco took a couple of steps back, ashamed.

"Ally, don't. Please. Look at me." The pain in his voice made Ally look at him. "I'm sorry." He whispered, his voice breaking. Ally took a step toward him.

"Please tell me why." She whispered. Draco shook his head.

"You don't want to know." Ally took another step toward him.

"If you really care about me, tell me." Draco sighed. She was stubborn. He nodded.

"You won't want to speak to me ever again though." Ally shook her head.

"I promise I will." She whispered. Even through his grief, Draco managed a small, sad smile. He ran his hands down her arms and took her hands in his. Dropping them, he bought his hand up to her face and began caressing her cheek, wiping away the tears that were slowly coming to a stop. He sighed defeated.

"Alright. See, I have this task.. Look, it'll be easier for me to show you." He turned his head to look at the door. Taking a step toward it, he offered out his hand. Ally took it, threading her fingers through his.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked.

"Just into the corridor, we need to change the room." Ally nodded and let go of his hand to wipe the remaining tears from her face. Draco took her face in his hand and kissed her lips. "Please don't hate me." He whispered, and led her out the room.

Ally watched as he paced backwards and forwards outside the room, concentration on his face. A door appeared and Draco grimaced.

"Ready?" He asked her. Ally sniffed and nodded. She took his hand again and he led her into the room. Ally looked around her. The room was full of junk. Chairs, tables, book cases, birdcages. Everything. Draco led her towards a wardrobe.

"The wardrobe?" Ally asked. Draco nodded.

"It's not a wardrobe love, it's a vanishing cabinet." Ally raised an eyebrow. Draco chuckled. "A vanishing cabinet can make things disappear and reappear. There's a sister one. In Borgin and Burkes. That means things, people, can travel between them." Ally stared at him. Why was he telling her this?

"What's bad about that?.." her voice trailed off as she remembered something Harry had told her the first day back.

"We followed Malfoy to Borgin and Burkes. There was loads of death eaters there. I think they were having some sort of ceremony. Anyway, they all crowded round this wardrobe thing. I don't know what it's for. But it can't be good.."

Draco looked at his shoes.

"It means I can transfer things into the school." Ally gasped, even though she didn't understand what was so bad.

"Sorry." She mumbled. Draco shook her head.

"Don't worry about it. But there's a problem." Ally looked at him enquiringly.

"What is it?"

"This one's broken. And it's hard to fix it. And I don't know if I can do it. But if I don't.." Draco's voice trailed off. Ally looked at him. His eyes were glistening with the tears he refused to shed. Ally wrapped her arms around his chest comfortingly. Draco wrapped his arms around her. They held each other for a while, each lost in their own thoughts.

"I'll help you." Ally finally whispered. Draco pulled away from her.

"No." He said. Ally narrowed her eyes.

"Why not?" She demanded. Draco bit his lip. He didn't want her getting involved with this. If the Dark Lord found out he loved her. He shuddered at the thought. The Dark Lord hurt those you love to get to you. And nothing was going to hurt Ally. Nothing.

"I don't want you getting hurt." He said, pulling her into another hug. Ally let out a breath.

"I won't get hurt helping you fix a wardrobe Draco." She said. Draco sighed. She didn't understand. She would if he showed her his mark.. But he couldn't do that. She would be disgusted. He might lose her..

"Please Ally." Ally looked into his pleading eyes.

"Draco. There's nothing you can do to stop me helping the one I love." Draco saw the determination in her eyes, but he was distracted by what she said.

"You love me?" His voice was barely audible. Ally nodded, her eyes glistening.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Don't be." Draco said, and kissed her full on the mouth. He planted kisses down to her jaw line, following the shape of her face up to her ear. "I love you too." He whispered. A smile broke out on Ally's face and she bought her lips to meet his.
