Your P.O.V.
He said he had to give up quidditch because of the Mark. He was so stressed, he was falling behind in his classes. And he excels in basically everything. I'm now helping him study. People think it's weird that we hang out even though we broke up, but he is going through a tough time right now.
As for Zacharias, I havent talked to him since the party. Jackass.
Susan and I stayed at Hogwarts over break. She sold aunt's house, and made a ton of money. Every once in a while, when she remembers her aunt, and gets quite sad. Like me with Cedric. I'm still not completely over his death.
Susan and I decided to try Apperation Lessons. The first 3 times I need up falling over.
"One, two, three!" the instructor shouted.
I fell down yet again, but I heard a scream full of pain. I look to my right, and Susan's leg was in the hoop, but not the rest of her. In a purple puff of smoke, she was back to normal.
"Let's take a break, Sue." I say.
She nods, and I sling her arm around my shoulders. She is trembling like an earthquake. She decided to not go to any more lessons.
"Draco is in the Hospital Wing." Hannah said as she sat down for lunch.
"Why?" I ask.
"I dont know, but he has lost a lot of blood from what I heard." she continued.
"Should I check on him?" I ask.
"Do whatever you want." Susan said.
Might as well. Later though, I'm really hungry.
I step into the Hospital Wing, and make my way over to Draco.
"What happened?" I ask.
"I dont wanna talk about it." he grunted.
His eyes were red and puffy.
"Well, I made you cookies." I put the tin box on the nightstand next to him.
"You made cookies for me?"
"Yes, I did just say that..."
He opened the box.
"And they are chocolate chip, not raisin. Whoever invented rasin cookies should go to Azkaban." I say.
"I agree." He took a bit out of a cookie. "Holy fuck, these are really good."
"Thanks."
"Where did you learn to make these?"
"Cedric. He taught me when I was like 5. I've had the recipe memorized, and the elves were very sweet, and let me go in the kitchen."
"Thank you." he said.
We were wrapping up our sixth year, and exams were coming up. Hannah walks in the door looking very pale.
"Hannah?" I ask. "Is everything okay?"
"Mum died. Killed by Death Eaters." She whispered.
"Oh, Hannah..." I say.
She is sobbing violently. Susan and I sit next to her, and comfort her. After maybe a good 45 minutes, she finally says something.
"I'm going home." she said quietly.
"What?" Susan asked.
"I'm dropping out. Dad is probably going through a hard time as well. I have to go."
We sit there in silence.
"We'll miss you Hannah." I say.
"Of course you will. I've always graced you with my presence." she smiles sadly.
Meagan decided to drop out as well. Hannah was leaving in a day or two, but Meagan left right away. The night Hannah left, dropped her makeup bag on the dorm floor. Shoot. I have to get this to her. I dont care if I get detention, she wont be back here for awhile. I quickly grab it, looking for where she went. I saw a green light outside the window. I look out, and see the Dark Mark.
"Expelliarmous!" I hear someone shout.
I run towards the voice. That could be Hannah. I dash around the corner, and stop suddenly. Draco was facing Dumbledore.
"I've got backup. There are Death Eaters here." Draco said. "They've met your guards. They wont be long...I have a job to do anyways."
My heart dropped. I feel frozen.
"Than you must do it." Dumbledore said calmly. "Draco, you arent a killer."
"How do you know?" he said. You dont know what I've done!"
"I know you almost killed Katie Bell and Ronald Weasley.
I get a pounding headache, within a second. I close my eyes. I see green flashes, and hear screeches. I open my eyes.
"He told me to kill you. Or he will kill me." Draco said.
I finally got the courage to speak.
"Draco?" I ask in a whisper.
He turns around, and I see fear in his eyes.
"Delilah, you shouldn't be here. Leave. They are going to kill you too." He said.
I heard footsteps coming, and ran into a closet. I could feel my heart pounding. I shouldnt have left. He might kill Dumbledore. I creaked the door open, but I was too late.
"Avada Kadavera!" Snape said.
I gasped. They didnt seem to hear me. They left. I exited the closet, and see Harry.
"H-Harry?"
"Delilah. You saw everything too?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry cast the spell on someone behind me.
I heard a body hit the ground. I look behind me, and it was one of the Death Eaters.
"Let's go, we have to catch Snape!" I said.
We rushed down stairs. There was a battle happening in the hallway. I saw all these colorful flashes, and fell to my knees.
"Delilah?" Harry asked.
"Go, Harry! Get Snape and Draco!" I scream.
I close my eyes. I see Draco and Snape running. Harry is fighting Snape. My eyes snap open. My headache is gone, and I run to Harry. I turn the corner, and see Harry curled on the ground. I feel a curse hit me square in my back. I feel a searing pain throughout my entire body.
I must have passed out, cause I wake to find myself in the Hospital Wing. Susan is sleeping in the chair next to me.
"Sue..." I tap her shoulder.
"What-what is happening." she mumbled still half asleep.
"What happened last night?" I ask.
"Bill Weasley got attacked by Greyback, and Dumbledore has been confirmed to be dead." She said a little too loud. "Sorry, I havent slept all night."
"Did he go?" I whisper.
She nodded. I was glad that he escaped, but still...his job was to kill Dumbledore. He didnt though. What would You-Know-Who do to him? He failed at his task. Students were being taken out early, and few stayed behind for Dumbledore's funeral. Susan and I went back to our house. She had nowhere to go besides with me.
End of Year 6
