Chapter 7 Can You Trust A Death Eater?

(Normal POV)

"Snape!" Harry exclaimed while pointing his wand at him.

"What are you doing here you filthy Death Eater," Tonks said glaring.

"I came here with You-Know-Who's plans and to show you that I'm not who you think I am."

"You mean Dumbledore being killed on top of the Astronomy Tower was all an illusion!" Harry yelled angrily.

"No, Potter! You know nothing do you! For your information, Dumbledore told me to kill him!"

"What are you talking about! He was pleading you not to kill him but you wouldn't listen did you!"

"Shut up, Potter! You really are stupid! Just like your father, making accusations before actually knowing the real story! Just let me tell the damn story then see if you can believe me or not!"

"Let's just go in the other room," McGonagall said.

Everyone walked over to the living room and sat down. Snape took out a vile and drank it.

"What was that," Ron asked.

"Veritaserum. Now let's get on with the story," Snape said. "To start off, I was in Dumbledore's office telling him that Draco took the mark. His task was to try to kill him but he seemed very calm about it. He told me to tell Draco to be careful and try to convince him to join this side. He didn't want Draco to do it so he asked me if I could kill him. I was shocked at first but he reasoned with me saying that he doesn't want Draco to become a killer. I agreed to do it."

"I went back home and someone knocked on my door. I opened it and found it was Bellatrix and Narcissa. Narcissa said she wanted to speak to me about something urgent. I believed it had something to do it Draco. Bellatrix was asking me questions about where was I when the Dark Lord fell and why did I stop the Dark Lord procuring the Sorcerer's Stone. Of course I answered them with very reasonable answers but Bellatrix didn't look convinced."

"I ignored Bellatrix and asked Narcissa what she needed. She didn't want to say it because the Dark Lord told her not too. She told me anyway though. It was about Draco and the Dark Lord's plan for Draco to kill Dumbledore. Narcissa wanted me to help him all I can but I said I could try. She told me to make an Unbreakable Vow and I agreed to do it. She said for me to help him. The last one was hard one. She said 'And, should it prove necessary…if it seems Draco will fail…will you carry out the deed that the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?' I hesitated before answering I will."

"School started and I finally got the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. Christmastime I talked to Draco about being careful when he was using the Locket. He told me he didn't use it on Miss Bell but I, of course, didn't believe him. I found out he didn't need my help and he didn't tell me about what he was going to do in the Room of Requirement."

"On March 1st, Weasley was attacked. Dumbledore wanted to talk to me about something. We went outside near the Forbidden Forest. He asked me about the plans and I told him that I made an Unbreakable Vow. Dumbledore said that it was a good idea. I told him that I think he took to much for granted and told him I didn't want to do it anymore."

"Do what anymore?" Ron asked.

"Kill Dumbledore if you were listening," Snape said.

"So that's why you two were arguing," Harry said.

"You knew about that too?"

"Hagrid told me about it."

"Anyway," Snape continued, "Dumbledore said I agreed to do it and he was very firm about it. He told me to make investigations in my House and find out some of the plans from the younger Death Eaters. Then there was the day when Draco was attacked. I have no idea what exactly happened but I heard Moaning Myrtle screaming 'MURDER! MURDER IN THE BATHROOM! MURDER!' I rammed the door open and found Draco on the floor drenched in his own blood. It was Potter who used Dark Arts spell called Sectumsempra." At this Harry looked down in shame and everyone gasped. "I took Draco to the hospital wing and told Potter to wait there for me."

"I came back and told Moaning Myrtle to go. Potter told me he didn't mean it to happen. He said he didn't know what spell he did. I asked him who taught him that spell but he said that he learned it from a library book. I knew he was lying. I wanted his Potions book because I had a feeling it might have been mine that he took. He went and got my Weasley's book. I gave him a detention and left the room."

"Then, it was that day. I didn't know Death Eaters were going to come to the school. Filius came into my room telling me that Death Eaters were at Hogwarts. I stupefied him for safety reasons and ran out of the room. I told Granger and Lovegood to look after him. I ran up the Astronomy Tower and burst through the door. I pointed my wand at him. I didn't want to do it but he was pleading. That was very uncharacteristic of him. I was so disgusted at myself for what I was about to do. I yelled Avada Kedavra and he died." The potion was wearing off and everyone just sat there in silence.

"Wow," Mr. Weasley breathed.

"Do you believe me now?"

"I don't know what to believe," Remus said exasperated.

"But since you did drink the Veritaserum we believe you," McGonagall said.

"How do we know it was a real Veritaserum?" Ron questioned.

Snape took out the same vile and gave it to Ron. "Drink it."

Ron hesitated before drinking it but he did anyway. He started to tell things that Ron didn't want to admit. Hermione gasped because Ron just admitted that he liked her. The potion started to wear off and Hermione kissed him. He blushed and everyone laughed.

"Now, Severus, you said something about Voldemort's plans," Remus said.

"Yes. Voldemort is using bait. I think all of you already know that Miss Weasley has been kidnapped."

"Yes, we know of the news."

"She was kidnapped by Draco. You-Know-Who wants to lure Potter to Malfoy Manor."

"Then we have to get her," Harry exclaimed.

"You willPotter. Just not yet. One of the Horcruxes has to be destroyed first. I can help you there. One of the Horcruxes is the Dark Lord's snake. Am I correct?"

"We believe it is but we are not positive about it."

"I'll help you destroy it without Potter actually having contact with the Dark Lord. The one you have to get is the cup. It is at Malfoy Manor. But, wait until I destroy Nagini first."

"No problem," Mad-Eye Moody said.

(Draco's POV)

I was under my covers looking at the ceiling with my arms behind my back. My plan was working. That little stunt actually worked. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

'Mummy, Mummy!' my 4-year-old self cried.

"Your mother isn't here. You need to learn to have no fear, no emotion. Crucio!" My father yelled. I felt excruciating pain run through my body. I was crying harder now.

The scene changed and I was 7. I saw my father torturing a muggle. "This is a piece of filth, Draco. Never associate with them! Avada Kedavra!" The muggle fell down dead. The scene changed and Ginny covered in blood.

"Ginny…" I ran to her and someone laughed a sinister laugh.

"You lost her. How pitiful, loving a mudblood lover. You are a disgrace to the Malfoy name. Avada Kedavra!"

I woke up sweat drenching my face and body. "Draco?" I looked beside me and Ginny was sitting next to me. "Are you alright? I heard you screaming."

"Yeah, I-I'm fine."

"Do you want me to stay here with you," Ginny asked concerned.

"Yes."

Ginny climbed on the bed and snuggled close to me. I couldn't go to sleep but I was having a weird feeling in my stomach when she was near me.

The sun had risen and I got out of bed to take a shower. I had no sleep whatsoever that night. The cold water felt good against my skin. I came out and put the towel around me. I got out of the bathroom to get some clothes. Ginny was just waking up.

"Morning, Sunshine," I said gleefully.

She smiled and said, "Good morning."

"Why don't you get dressed in your room?"

She nodded and kissed my cheek. "See you later." After that she left. I went into my closet and got dressed. It was another day.

A/N: How do you like it? I hope all you people who think Snape is evil might be convinced that he is good. I believe he is good and has now become on of my favorite characters.
