I was walking down the stoned dungeon passageway, on my way to see Snape. He had called me again, and I felt compelled to go. I had ignored his previous requests and I could see he was getting angry. I knew all he wanted was to steal my idea, and make it his own. He wanted to be more favourable to the dark lord than he already is, but he can't have it! It is mine and I will not die because he stole it, I am going to live.
Before I had even stepped in the room, a spell was aimed at my chest and I could feel my muscles freeze. I can't believe he sunk this low, to use Petrificus Totalus on me, seriously. I could feel myself fall to the ground and my head bounced on the stone with a deafening crack, and the pain engulfed my head. I looked up and saw two people looking down at me and they swirled together, one was Snape and the other Dumbledore.
When I awoke several minutes later, my head was not sore, but I was tied to a chair. Before me was Dumbledore, surveying me over his half-moon spectacles, his spidery fingers tapping endlessly below his chin. I knew Snape was beside me, I could smell him, he always smelled like burnt potion ingredients.
"He's awake." Dumbledore said once he saw my open eyes and I heard Snape move from beside me. I could hear rattling in the cupboard and I knew what was happening. They were giving me a truth potion, forcing the truth out of me, making me tell them my plans. With in seconds of this thought, Snape had bent my head back at a ninety degree angle and opened my mouth before handing Dumbledore the potion, I knew to ruin my life. He opened it and poured it down my throat, and I knew my life was over.
"What is your name?" Dumbledore asked as he surveyed me over his fingers.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy." I answered, looking him in the eyes.
"And who am I?" he asked obviously to ensure I was not lying yet.
"Albus Dumbledore." I answered rolling my eyes, anyone would know that.
"Good, good." He mumbled to no one in particular before starting again.
"Do you work for Lord Voldemort?" he asked his eyes boring into mine.
"Yes" I answered looking down; I was ashamed to 'work' for such filth.
"Willingly?" he asked, still looking into my eyes.
"No." I looked down.
Damn, now did he not only know that I was a death eater, but I was also an unwilling one. This is just great, give me an axe and I'll kill myself right now.
"Who is forcing you to be a death eater?" he asked, and I saw determination in his eyes.
"My parents," I answered shamed that my parents were death eaters.
"Is your mother a death eater as well as your father?"
"Yes, she joined last year." I replied embarrassed that my mother would sink to such depths, she used to be different.
"Are you plotting my death to save yourself?" he asked apparently amused by this.
"Yes" I replied suddenly very aware of my situation.
"How?" he asked raising his eyebrow surprisingly above his hairline.
"I was going to let the death eaters in via a vanishing cupboard in the Room of Requirement, while you were occupied. Then I would lure you to the Astronomy Tower, with a Dark Mark, and kill you there. But I just cant do that anymore, it sounds good in theory, but to do it, I just cant." I answered looking down at my knees, determined not to look at the man whose death I had brilliantly plotted.
"Interesting, very interesting," Dumbledore muttered before continuing, "Would you be prepared to join the light side?"
"Yes!" I exclaimed, amazed that Dumbledore wasn't going to send me off to Azkaban for association with the dark lord.
"In that case, you are welcome to join us as a spy, like Severus here, but you must continue with your plans." He added smiling at my truthful decision, but I was confused. Did he want to die?
"What? You want me to kill you?" I asked befuddled that anyone would want to die.
"If it saves you, I can find a way to 'die' perhaps" he smiled at me and waved his wand, freeing me from the chair.
I understood what he meant. He was going to make it seem like he died, like I was killing him, but I wasn't. It would still be hard for me though, to 'kill' someone. Dumbledore and Snape now knew how I felt, what happens if Voldemort also finds out?
