Chapter 12

Last Time:

"What are you doing in here?" Harry snaps back. Alex rolls her eyes.

"I asked you first"

"Seeing why Malfoy keeps disappearing in here" Alex snorts.

"You need to do a better job on being spies then. But he is doing a mission for my uncle. He is after his one true love before it is too late" Alex jumps off the boxes and walks to the cabinet. Harry, Ron and Hermione follows, "Malfoy and I are seeing if this is the right cabinet. He put an apple in here to send to its sister" Alex turns to Harry and stares at him, "as much as I hate you right now Potter, I still love you like I did before. I would hate to see you die, and I would hate that my uncle may have to die. I can't lose both you, but I know I have to lose one of you. I just don't know which one" Alex walks away and out of the room, leaving Harry, Ron and Hermione there.

~H&A~

Harry turns to Hermione and Ron, shocked.

"She still loves me" Harry whispers. Ron rolls his eyes.

"No kidding. And either you or Voldemort has to die" Ron tells him. Harry sits down on a chair next to the cabinet and gets lost in his thoughts.

Now:

Alex walks down the hallway thinking back to the conversation near the cabinet. Alex bites her lip and shakes her head.

"I'm not going to go back to the past. I have to keep moving" Alex whispers to herself and walks to the Gryffindor common room.

"Alex, we have to go" Ramona tells Alex as soon as Alex walks in. Max walks over and grabs Ramona's hand.

"Wha..." before Alex could finish asking her question, they pop out at their home. There is front of them is Voldemort, Jerry, Justin, Snape, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"Hello children. Now Draco, if you do not do my mission for you, I WILL kill you and your family" Voldemort tells Malfoy. Malfoy's eyes grow wide.

"Why would you want to kill me boyfriend?" Alex asks, saving Malfoy. Malfoy looks at Alex shocks. Alex smiles and grabs Malfoy's hand. Voldemort's eyes grow wide as well.

"You two are dating?" Voldemort asks. Alex nods and smiles at her uncle.

"Please don't kill him. But what is the mission? I could help out hopefully" Voldemort smiles and nods.

"Alright, find a way for my death eaters to get into the school unnoticed" Alex raises her hand, "yes Alex?"

"We have already started that. We think we found a way. It's the Vanishing Cabinet. One is in the Room of Requirement and the other is in Burden's and Burks in Knockturn Alley" Alex answers. Voldemort grins.

"How have you two started if I just set the task?" Alex points at Jerry.

"Dad told me too" Jerry smiles as Voldemort turns to him. Voldemort pats his brother's shoulder.

"You are smart my brother" Voldemort turns to his nieces, nephew and Alex's 'boyfriend', "now you kids get back to school. You don't want to draw attention to you" they all nod and leave, besides Malfoy and Alex; "if you mess up Draco, you and your family's lives are on the line" Voldemort leaves the house as Alex turns to Malfoy. Malfoy grabs her hand and disappeared back to the castle.

~A&H~

The next few months, Malfoy has been in a rush. Alex knows they have a time limit, but don't have to freak out about it. Alex and Malfoy are sitting on the couch near the cabinet waiting for the death eaters to walk through. Ramona and Max are at the house, to stay out of harm's way. Alex hears Hermione and Ron talking about how Harry and Dumbledore left the school. Alex took that as a sign to start the task... kill Dumbledore. Voldemort gave Alex and Malfoy the task to kill Dumbledore. If one wouldn't the other has too. Voldemort told Snape to STAY away, but to be there to protect Voldemort's niece and 'boyfriend'.

Just then the door of the cabinet opens. Alex and Malfoy look up to see Fenrir Greyback, Bellatrix Lestrange, Crabbe Sr, Goyle Sr, Antonin Dolohov and Igor Karkaroff walk out. Alex stands up and crosses her arms, not happy that Fenrir Greyback is there.

"Go back to your cave Greyback!" Alex snaps at him. Fenrir smirks and walks to Alex.

"No Russo" Fenrir answers. Alex points her wand at him, glaring.

"If you don't I will kill you" Alex snarls. Fenrir and the other death eaters begin to laugh. Alex rolls her eyes and storms out of the Room of Requirement. The death eaters and Malfoy follows and the battle begins.

~H&A~

As Harry and Dumbledore arrive to the top of the Astronomy tower, they hear running footsteps.

"Hide Harry" Dumbledore whispers to Harry. Harry hides in the shadows and is shocked to see Alex and Malfoy arrive.

"Who were you talking too?" Malfoy snaps at Dumbledore. Alex sneaks a look at Harry and winks at him.

"Obviously he was talking to himself fool!" Alex laughs as she crosses her arms.

"YOU THINK THIS IS A LAUGHING MATTER!" Alex looks at Dumbledore and rolls her eyes.

"See what I have to deal with? He has been like this is Voldemort threatened him and his family. I actually wouldn't care about Lucius personally. But maybe Voldemort could kill Fenrir Greyback since he pisses me off..." Alex trails off thinking out loud. Malfoy rolls his eyes and pushes her to the ground.

"If you don't kill him I will" Malfoy growls as Alex smirks and she gets back to her feet.

"You could be Fenrir's son" Alex points her wand at Dumbledore, "Expelliarmus" Dumbledore's wand flies out of Dumbledore's hand.

"Look, Draco, Alex, this isn't the side you have to be on. You can still be on the side of good, not evil. Please" Dumbledore whispers. Malfoy's wand slowly lowers as Alex's doesn't.

"Alex" Malfoy whispers. Alex looks at Malfoy, her smirk long gone.

Just then there is a bang and Bellatrix, Snape, Fenrir, and the other death eaters arrive.

"Aww, Draco and Alex have Dumbledore cornered" Bellatrix laughs and pulls out her wand, "now step aside kiddies. I will kill him" Alex laughs coldly.

"And let Voldemort kill you since it is supposed to be mine and Malfoy's job?" Bellatrix stops and stares at Alex in amusement.

"You are one weird girl girly"

"Why thank you"

"Hurry and kill him!" Alex rolls her eyes.

"I will if you all will leave!" Bellatrix pulls Malfoy out of the room, with the other's following. All is left is Snape, Alex, Harry and Dumbledore.

"Alex..." Dumbledore trails off, truthfully worried. This Alex is NOT the same Alex he knows.

"Look old man. I really don't want to kill you. But if I don't Malfoy and his family will die. You and your 'group' may or may not kill mine" Alex snaps, slightly scared "I don't want to do this" tears fills Alex's eyes as Snape grabs her shoulders gently.

"You don't have to Alex. We can leave him and say he got away" Snape whispers to Alex.

"But, what about..." Snape sighs.

"You have to do what YOU think is best, not everyone else. I am Draco's godfather, so he will always have a family to turn to. As for you, you only have Max, Justin, Ramona and your dad. So just think what is best for you" Alex nods letting tears fall, "I will take the others and go back before they try to kill someone" Alex nods once more not speaking. Snape leaves the tower as Alex wipes her tears. She lowers her wand and slips it into her right boot. She takes a breath and walks to the edge. Before neither Dumbledore nor Harry could react Alex jumps.

And that's the chapter. What do you think? Please review.
