Hogwarts One Shots

Hide or Fight - Marcus Flint

It's been 3 months since Voldemort died. It's been 3 months of hiding and running from the Aurors. I was the one that killed Dumbledore, I was the one who really started it all. I was Voldemort's heir, his right hand, at all times.

Now Marcus Flint runs the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and has become one of the most fearless Aurors of his age. And who was he chasing? Me. What a goddamn luck.

We were enemies since the very first time we saw each other. When I became a Death Eater he joined Potter's side, what a shame to stand by the Gryffindors.

I grabbed my Death Eater mask and covered my face before entering the tunnel. Last week I heard rumors about a safe place for dark wizards and witches just bellow London, inside the ancient tunnels. When I got there the only thing I saw was Harry Potter himself, unconscious on the filthy ground, surrounded by maybe 20 ou 30 old Death Eaters.

- What has happened here? - I ask sternly.

They all look at me, terrified and surprised, but none says a word.

- Go on, I'm waiting for an answer. - I demand loudly, taking my mask off.

- Y/N is that you? - I look at him in utter shock and tears instantly drop from my eyes.

A moment of silence filled the room and then we hug, tightly. Merlin how I missed him.

- I thought you were dead. - I say sobbing - I heard rumors, I-

- I'm here! - he says stroking my hair - Dad was killed, but mum - he hesitates and looks away - she's at S. Mungus, recovering from Salazar knows what. - he closes his hands into fists.

- We'll get her back Draco, I promise you. - I say confidently.

- I apologize for interrupting your little family reunion but, we've got the Minister of Magic unconscious on our floor! - he says coldly - It's time to attack the ministry and claim it back.

- I don't know how you fuckers did that amazing shit but he is right Draco, it's our chance. - I say whipping the tears of my face.

It all went well, at the beginning. We headed to the ministry, killed most of them, got them by surprise and a few steps later I was ready to take my place, as Minister of Magic, just like our dear Dark Lord, may he rest in peace, would've wanted.

If it wasn't for an old piece of shit that conducted a coup against me. Barty Crouch Jr., a snake always eager for more. Now he has restrained me and Draco, in the middle of the atrium, for everyone to admire his seizure of power. If I get my hands on a wand I swear to Salazar that every last one of these rats who betrayed me will die by my hand.

And then suddenly Flint and Potter appear with the remaining Aurors that weren't here when the attack went on.

- The hero has come to save the day! - I murmur sarcastically to Draco and he scoffs.

- Play nice Y/N, if he thinks we are on their side, they might free us. - Draco whispers.

He was right, a ministry conducted by Marcus was by far better than one with Crouch on the leadership. He was fucking ruthless. If we need to help Flint in order to escape later or maybe fall on his good graces, then it's settled.

- If you let us out, we'll fight by your side. - I say coldly to Marcus.

- Do you think I'm dumb? Do you really think I'll ever trust a Malfoy? - he said angrily.

- Shut up Flint, there's like only 20 of us left if that many. And they know the others better then we do. - he says sternly - What do you want in exchange? You always have something to demand. Go on.

- Me, my mum and my sister here, will disappear and get far away and you'll never chase us again. - Draco says grinning. - If you promise me our liberty, we'll fight every single fucker by your side. - he finishes with disdain.

- Untie them, we need to kill these maniacs before them manage to destroy the whole ministry. - Harry commands. - You have my word. Now, who's behind all of this?

- Barty Crouch Jr. - I say getting up from the ground. - We need wands, he took ours. - Flint cautiously gives us some random wands.

- Don't worry I'm not going to kill you, I prefer living peacefully far away from this shit hole. - I snatch the wand aggressively from his hand.

We divide in trios and start chasing the dark wizards slaughtering every single one of them that catches our sight. After a couple of minutes the only ones left stand at the minister's office.

- He's not alone in there, he is not stupid. - I whisper to them - There's probably at least four bodyguards, two by the door and two by his side.

- And how do you know that? - Flint asks angrily.

- Any smart snake that preserves itself would do that, we think about strategy before doing something very bold such as taking over the ministry Flint. - I whisper aggressively closer to his face - But maybe strategy is too much for that little pea that you call a brain. You're a fucking embarrassment to Salazar! - he gets closer with his wand pointed at my neck.

- Watch your fucking mouth! - he says looking into my eyes but Potter grabs him back.

- Stop it, let's get this over with! - Potter demands coldly.

- Fucking blood-traitor! - I murmur.

After Flint argues about wanting to go in front of us, we break into the office, but we were outnumbered. We were four, they were seven. They were definitely expecting us and with a sudden move Potter is dead and Flint was on the ground. Crouch almost hits me with a killing curse but I dodge it falling next to Flint.

Draco curses Barty and quickly grabs my hand and Apparates us out of there. My shoulder was touching Flint's body and so he Apparated along with us. But he wasn't awake and Crouch had won.

- He won Draco, he'll hunt us until we die. - I say weakly - And Flint, is he alive? He's our only hope to get mum back.

Draco got closer to Flint's body but soon looked away. Dead.

- NO, you were supposed to stop this! - I crawl to his lifeless body - Do you hear me? You were supposed to save the day! I need you - I sob while shaking him - Without you my family isn't free. - I murmur between sobs.

Draco kneels beside me and hugs me while the two of us cry, in the middle of a forest, with a dead body in front of us.

- We'll figure it out. We always do. - he says trembling.

- Please wake up, we can't do this alone. - I say as the tears fall freely from my eyes.

No more Aurors, no more minister, it will be our downfall. The question is, do we hide or do we fight?
