Chapter 8

When they came closer to the bed, they saw Draco was unconscious.

"Why is daddy sleeping here?" Mary asked curiously.

"I don't know yet" Sophie replied to her daughter. She found herself a chair and sat down. Mary crawled up on Sophie's lap and got comfortable in her mother's arms.

Hours passed by, and at some point Mary fell asleep. It started to get darker as night came. Sophie kept an eye on the clock.

She herd Draco groan at some point. He moved his head, and opened his eyes. He smiled as he saw Sophie.

"You alright, love?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I see someone's tired" he said and motioned to Mary.

"Yeah" she replied and stroke Mary's hair. Both of them jumped when the clock rang 12, and Mary woke up by the sound. Sophie sighed when she realised what she had to do.

"Just rest, Draco, I'll be back in a little while." She said and got up.

"You must be mad if you think I'll let you do it on your own!" Draco protested as Sophie handed over Mary.

"Well, you're to week to go. I'll pick you guys up when I'm done, so be ready. We need to do a quick escape." She said firmly.

She kissed Draco lovingly, and kissed Mary's forehead before heading for the door.

"Where's mommy going?" Mary asked.

"Im just going to fix something. Take care of dad, will you?" Sophie replied.

"I will" Mary said. Sophie nodded and left the room.

Draco wanted her to come back and beg him to come with her to help. But he knew she wouldn't. She was to independent to do so.

Mary lay down and cuddled up close to her father. He stroke her arm while thinking. He had to go after Sophie. Make sure she didn't get herself hurt. Or killed.

Draco got up, and put on his shoes before he picked up his daughter and left the hospital wing.

He realised as he walked around the dark hallways, that was lost. He didn't know where to go, nor where he was.

As he walked past a door he has no idea where leaded, he herd voices. Dumbledores voice. And then Sophie's voice.

"I have to do this" she said silently. It sounded as if though she was choking back tears. Draco opened the door to see a staircase leading to a second door.

"Wait here" Draco told his daughter and sat her down on one of the stairs.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"Just gonna find mom" he replied and walked up. As he entered the room, he saw Sophie with her wand pointed at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was unarmed and Sophie was terrified.

She turned her head and saw Draco.

"I told you to stay!" She said and looked back at Dumbledore.

"And you think I'll let you do this all on your own!?" He replied.

"Where's Mary?" Sophie asked.

"She's waiting in the stairs" Draco replied. Sophie nodded.

Just a minute later the door opened and several of the death eaters came in. One of them had Mary.

Sophie left her position at once and grabbed Mary away from the death eater.

"Don't you dare to lay your filthy hands on her!" She growled and held her daughter. Mary was terrified and burried her face into her mother's neck.

Right after came Snape. It seemed as if though everyone had forgotten about Dumbledore.

"Severus" Dumbledore said as he caught eye on Snape.

Snape took out his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore.

"Severus. Please Severus" Dumbledore said again.

"Avada kedavra!" Snape yelled and hit Dumbledore. Dumbledore fell out from the tower.

"Pofessor!" Mary screamed and sobbed. She knew what had happened. She understood that he was dead.

Draco stroke his hand over Mary's hair, trying to calm her a little. That seemed a lot more important to him than getting away at the moment.

Mary looked up and straight at Snape.

"You are a bad man!" She scolded him.

"Never mind that now" Snape sighed and dragged Sophie out by her wrist in one hand and Draco by the wrist in another. He dragged them down to the forbidden forest and they walked deep into it.
