(Ophelia's POV)
It had been a week since the bathroom incident. Madam Pomfrey was letting me leave tonight
"Remember—" Madam Pomfrey raises her eyebrows
"Be careful, I know Madam Pomfrey. Thank you" I grin
"Take good care of her Mr.Malfoy" she smiles
"I will" Draco tried his best to smile, we were both extremely nervous
Draco had finally fixed the cabinet while I was in here and I came up with our third and last plan. We would kill Dumbledore the night the Death Eaters come. It wouldn't seem obvious it was us. Which, conveniently, was today.
Draco held me from my waist as we slowly walk to the Room of Requirement
"Are you ready?" I ask
"No. You?" He nervously chuckles
"No, I'm terrified actually I—" we hear chatter in the Astronomy Tower. It sounded like Dumbledore was talking to someone.
"Stay here. I'll go open the cabinet." He whispers. After a minute he comes back
"Let's go," he says as he grabs my hand, I let out a shaky breath before we climb up the stairs
"Hide yourself" Dumbledore whispers. Quickly we raise our wands at him
"Good evening, Draco, Ophelia. What brings you here on this fine, spring evening?" Dumbledore asks
"Who else is here? We heard you talking" Draco asks
"I often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. Have you been whispering to you yourselves?" Dumbledore asks, I furrow my eyebrows
"You are no assassins," he says
"How do you know what we are?! We've done things that would shock you!" I exclaim
"Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that, in return, she would bear a cursed necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Forgive me, but I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak that your hearts couldn't really be in them." Dumbledore explains
"He trusts us! We were chosen!" Draco shouts, we lift our sleeves
"I shall make it easy for you" Dumbledore takes out his wand
"Expelliarmus!" I quickly shout, disarming him
"Very good, very good." Dumbledore sighs as he watches his wand roll away
"Ophelia, do you think your mother would have liked to see you this way?" He asks
"Why do you care?" I say. In reality, he was right. She died because she tried to save me from this, from Voldemort, the Death Eaters, she died for nothing. Suddenly a door opens and closes in the distance
"You're not alone? There are others? How?" Dumbledore asks
"The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement. We've been mending it." Draco answers
"Let me guess, it has a sister? A twin?" Dumbledore asks
"At Borgin & Burke's. They form a passage." I add
"Ingenious. Draco, Ophelia, years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you." Dumbledore pleads
"We don't want your help!" I exclaim
"Don't you understand? We have to do this! We have to kill you! Or he's going to kill us." Draco's voice trembles
"Well, look what we have here. Well done guys!" Bellatrix grins as she and the Death Eaters walk in
