"Severus…Please..." pleaded Albus Dumbledore. " Don't do this Severus… Please…"

Shut up, Albus." Snape said, pointing his wand at Dumbledore. "Avada Kedavra"

Harry was forced to watch as his beloved headmaster was blasted into the air and over the tower wall, and as he landed on the ground with a dull thud.

Ten minutes later, an eerie darkness had surrounded Dumbledore.

"Albus, I have been waiting for you." said a hooded figure.

"Who are you, where am I?" Dumbledore asked.

"This is the Life after Death, Albus. You shall remain here until the person who killed you is destroyed. Then, you shall be reinstated I to your body." the creature explained." I am one of the Death Guards. One of ten who patrol the world of the After-Life, to make sure none of you try to make it back out before your time."

"So, Severus must die?" Dumbledore asked

"Yes, Albus", said the Death Guard. "Then, your time will be here, when Severus Snape dies."

"But, I trus-…"

"I know, Albus."

"I thought he had changed"

"Here, let me show you what he is doing now"

The Death Guard grabbed Dumbledore's arm and he lifted him off the ground. They were flying. They were over a forest; they flew past a sign that read Spinners End.

"Spinners End, isn't that Severus' house?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes. Let's see what he is up to", the Death Guard told Dumbledore.

"DRACO, how could you not kill Dumbledore? God, even Pettigrew could do better, as clumsy as he is."Snape roared at Malfoy.

"Look." Dumbledore whispered, pointing at a figure walking up to the door.

"Go get the door, Draco." Snape ordered when he heard a knock on the door.

"It's Lestrange, sir." Malfoy informed Snape as he opened it.

"Severus, I have some bad news." Lestrange said, walking in, looking very shabby." Pettigrew and many other Death Eaters have been killed. The attempt to take over the Ministry has failed."

"Damn, the Dark Lord needs to get better Death Eaters." Snape retaliated.

"He has them, Snape. The only problem is that they are locked up, in Azkaban. Before I forget, I have good news also, Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister, was killed in the attack. The Ministry is now defenseless!" Lestrange finished.

"Very well, you may leave, now"

"Bye, Severus."

"And I'm not done with you yet, either, Draco. If you do one more thing wrong, I swear, I'll kill your whole family."

" Yes, sir."

And for the first time, Draco Malfoy began to cry. Not loudly, but a few tears were rolling down his pale white face. For the first time, Draco Malfoy was truly frightened.

So, how do you like my first chapter? It took me about 15 minutes. I really liked the end. It shows the true Draco, well, mine any way. Chapter two up next week!
