Chapter 10 – You have to do it –

It was two weeks after they decided to be friends but it wasn't working. She wanted him, he wanted her but it couldn't be. It was driving them crazy. So he decided to have a little chat with her.

"Look Emma, this isn't working for me, we have to do something about our situation" he firmly said

"Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I can't stay away from you anymore"

"So, you're saying we can be together again?" he asked happily

"Yes, I can't take it anymore, I miss you too much" she said and hugged the life out of him. He hugged her back as hard as he could. They staid like that for a few minutes before they parted. They looked in each other's eyes and they leaned in for a kiss that they waited for too long.

The weeks went on and this time they were paying more attention on what they were doing, now with the help of Ashley and Derek they found a better place for their hide-outs. Their plans were working because no one was suspecting them, not even Snape.

"What's up Draco?" Emma asked cheerfully kissing him.

"Oh I'm just thinking about something." He said lost in space

"Is something wrong Draco? Lately you've been so distant." She asked worried

"I think I have to tell you the truth. There's something my dad ordered me to do" he began

"What?"

"Well actually not my dad. The Dark Lord ordered me something to do" he said and she looked at him scared

"What did he ask you Draco?"

"Too kill Dumbledore or he will kill me" he said and she became serious

"Well you have to do it, you just have to. We know very well what he is going to do to you if you don't."

"I thought that you were going to get mad and scream at me" he said and looked at her

"Well I can't make you do anything else, he is The Dark Lord after all. He is very powerful."

"I guess you are right, but I have to tell you that I am very scared, I don't know what to do sometimes. I get panicked and think I'm going to screw it up and he'll kill me"

"You won't screw it up Draco. You are strong and you can do it."

That's all he needed to hear. He got up and made his way to only he knew where. She asked him nothing, not a word. She just waited and se what will happen next. School was almost over and she thought that this vacation will be different but she was wrong. After what Draco told her, she knew the war was beginning. She felt a mixture of fear with doubt and faith. On some level she wanted Voldemort dead. She didn't know why, she just wanted everything to be over. She hated that her parents were death eaters. She found out a few years ago. At first she was proud of them but after a while she saw that it wasn't as great as she thought. She liked that her parents were feared wizards and that everyone knew them but why can't they be like that without being forced to kill so many people? She didn't understand a lot of things and she probably didn't want to understand them yet.

She heard people screaming and crying all over the halls. She went out side and saw a lot of students round in a circle looking at something. Then she heard a boy say

"Dumbledore is dead"

She could believe it, he did it, he actually did it. Already. But why wasn't she happy? She felt guilt and sadness. She felt like she was about to cry. Why was that? Are these feeling towards Dumbledore? It's true she never disliked him that much, of curse people knew different, but did she actually cared? Or was she scared that now Draco was a murderer like everyone else from Voldemort's side? She looked at the sky, the dark mark was there and she couldn't stop but feel anger. When did she change so much? She was on his side after all. Wasn't she? She didn't wait any longer and she went to find Draco. She saw him with other Death eaters and with Snape. She waited till he was alone and called after him. They went into a safe place to talk.

"You actually killed him?" she asked

"No, I couldn't. I wasn't strong enough. Snape killed him" he said and she was surprisingly relieved

"I'm so glad Draco. I was so worried you were going to be a murdered like them. You are not like that and I know it" she said and he actually smiled

"I knew all that darkness you were trying to wear wasn't the real you. You always seemed different" he said.

They didn't have much time together, they hugged for a few minutes and he went to find Snape and the other death eaters.

Everything was chaos, people were running, crying. They were all sent home. This was going to be a long terrible summer.
