Chapter 9 - sixth year
After going into diagon alley a few days ago just to get what I needed for school this year, we saw Draco with his mother and they didn't look like they wanted to be followed, but we followed anyways. After a day or two I asked Dumbledore if Draco could stay with me this year in my common room. As always he happily agreed. Once at Hogwarts the sorting quickly began followed up by the feast and then later Dumbledore's speech. We were all sent to bed where as Draco only followed close behind too the common room that he will be staying in. Once we arrived a house elf had told us that Athena was asleep, I went to give her a kiss goodnight whereas went into the room that me and him would be sharing. As soon as I walked in his head was in his hands and he wasn't happy. So I walked up to him and put my arms around his neck and then he looked up at me his grey eyes becoming glassy, and when he least expected it I kissed him and then crawled into bed to got to sleep. After a while he decided to lay down next to me his arms entertwining around my body and then falling asleep. Days go by and I only see Draco come and go now there isn't anything to hide between us except for the fact that he his a father but I knew exactly what he had to do and I was dreading it but what choice did he have I didn't want him to die. When we're in bed alone I tell him everyday how much I love him and that if something was to happen to him that I wouldn't be able to live without him. We both knew that a pending war was coming. Draco only suggested that if a battle took place to get out of here as soon as possible. I only agreed to it with the exception that I will help Harry with the task that he would be given by Dumbledore. As the year went on I kept stealing glance over at Draco and noticed that he was becoming more pale than usual, after all this is taking it's toll on him and it is hard for him to bare it all. Once the year was coming to an end Draco had to go do the task, or else he would get tortured possibly by the dark lord. So I didn't stop him.
Draco Malfoy P.O.V.
"Go back to your houses." I heard professor Mcgonagal say to all of us. All I did was ignore her and went to the room of requirements to open the vanishing cabinet. After opening I left and went to the astronomy tower. When I arrived I asked "who else is here. I heard you talking." right after he probably told a student "Severus, Severus is who we need, tell him what happened." which I found entirely incomprehensible. Then he spoke to me. "Good evening Draco. What brings you here?" I stood shell shocked. "You see I've been talking to myself and found it extrordinary useful, have you ever whispered to yourself, Draco?" He asked but I didn't answer. "Draco, you are no assassin. The charmed necklace, the poisoned Meade, that you were trying to send to me to try to kill me I felt those actions rather weak." He said, but I replied by saying "How do you know what I am? Don't think I wouldn't shock you. Trust me I was chosen." I cried looking at the old headmaster then we heard curses down stairs. Oh, there are others? How?" he asked. "The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirements, I've been mending it." I said in a scared tone. "It has a sister? Where?" he asked, and I replied with the answer "Borgin and Burks" "I guess I shall make it easy for you, then." he said and with that I said "expelliramus" and disarmed him soon after he said "Draco, years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices, please let me help you." he said the I slowly lowered my wand and said "I don't want your help, don't you understand, I have to do this I have to kill you, or he's going to kill me." I cried just then aunt Bella and the other deatheaters arrived then she said "Well, look what we have here. Well done, Draco." "Good evening Bellatrix, I think an introduction is in order. Don't you." the headmaster asked in which aunt Bella replied with "Not you, Albus, but I'm afraid you won't be able to touch it. Do it." she said towards me.i kept my wand pointed at the headmaster but didn't make a move. Then one of the others said "He doesn't have the stomach for it just like his father. Let me finish him my own way." "No, the dark lord wants Draco to do this." she hissed then she turned to me and screamed "Do it now, Draco!" then Severus came and said "No" by then aunt Bella was seething in anger looking striaght at Snape and then the headmaster said "Severus, severus please." then within a second I heard professor Snape say "Avada Kedvra" and the the headmaster was dead. And I was running for my life and I didn't even get to say goodbye to her.
Harry's P.O.V.
"Do you he would have done it, Draco?" Hermione asked me in which I replied "No, no he was lowering his wand. In the end it was Snape, it was always Snape, and I did nothing." I said handing her a locket. "It's fake, open it." so she opens it and finds a note inside then looks at me quizically the reads the note which said, "To the dark lord, I know I will be dead by the time you read this, but I wanted you to know, that it was I who kept your secret. I have stolen the real horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that one day you will meet your match. You will be mortal once more. - R.A.B." Then she looked at me and said "Who is R.A.B?" with that I said "I dunno, guess we will have to find out for ourselves."
