Black Plague

Chapter 37

When we for back to school I pulled Draco into my dorm room and threw up a muffle charm around us. "I'm telling you because I fully trust you. But you can not tell anyone else. I am going to kill Dumbles tonight while he sleeps. I didn't tell you earlier because as much as I care about Snape, his loyalty is torn between Dumbledore and Voldemort. He hates Voldemort for killing my mom. And even though he is sane and most of him didn't killed my mom, I know he struggles with fully following the Dark Lord"
Draco did a double take. "Wait, why does he care if The Dark Lord killed your mom?" I laughed. "Because he was one of many men that loved my mom, and was having an affair with her."
His eyes bugged. "No!" I nodded. "Ya, he even begged the Dark Lord to spare her life. Voldie tried but she refused to step aside and hand me over. I don't know why he didn't just stun her, but he was crazy, so he probably didn't even think of it."
Draco was still in shock. "That's crazy. Did she have like a magic pussy? Why did everyone love her?" I laughed "gods if I know. I accidentally watched a couple guys fuck her for a minute and it seemed average at best. Maybe she knew sex magic. I bet that would be fun. We could practice that next year." I winked.
Draco laughed and nodded.

I kissed him quick, but he pulled me in and kissed me deeper. We kissed for a while, his soft lips moving as one with mine. His sweet mouth drawing me in for more. Eventually, one of my room mates walked in. I panted as I tried to calm down. I kissed him on the cheek and gave him a hug, then he walked out. I smiled like a loon for a while after he left.
My room mates kind of looked at me funny, but knew I never talked to them, so they left me alone.

I stayed up reading different books and studying spells till about one o'clock. Then I slipped my invisibility robe on and cast a silencio over myself. Making me completely undetectable. I padded through the halls, until I reached the headmasters room. I whispered the password and climbed up the steps and silently unlocked the door. I cast another silencio over the door to make sure it didn't make any noise. I shut the door softly behind me and slowly walked to the bedroom door. My heart was pounding. I had killed people before. Obviously. But this was one of the most powerful wizards of all time! Did he have an alarm on the door or in the room, that I hadn't seen? It couldn't possibly be this easy. I had expected a hiccup by now honestly. I cast another silencio onto the door leading to his bedroom and turned the handle. I had only been in his office once in the four years I had went here. But I had scanned his mind a number of times to collect information on the Order of the Sheep. And I was pretty sure this lead to his bedroom.
As I opened the door it felt like my stomach was doing flips. I pushed the door all the way open. It was hard to see in the dark, but the moon glowing through the window provided enough light to see that this was a infact a bedroom. Jackpot. I tiptoed to the bed. Even though I knew I had a silencing charm over me. I saw him laying peacefully in his bed. I raised my wand and pointed it at him. Suddenly he began speaking and rolled over. I gasped quietly. Grabbing my chest. Trying to will my heart to calm down. Shit! I thought he had woken up! I took a number of deep breaths then pointed the wand at him again. I began chanting a black magic spell to cause a heart attack in his sleep. He shifted a couple more times, but I didn't stop. I chanted it over and over as I poured  all my hatred, all my loathing, all my bitterness into it. Finally I heard him exhale one last breath and then he grew silent. The room seemed to be swimming with dark magic and power. I stop chanting and began clearing the room of all the residual magic. Making sure nobody could detect he hadn't died from natural causes. The worse thing that could happen was someone realizing he had been murdered and the light wizards unifying and taking up the light cause with twice the vigilance. I was about to leave when I felt power radiating from his pillow. I reached under and found his wand. It was more powerful than anything I had ever felt before. I almost put it back but just couldn't bring myself to do it. So I looked around for something to use as a replacement. I grabbed a quill and used the powerful wand to transfigure the quill into what looked like his wand. It even had a magical hum to it, because the wand I used to make the copy was so powerful. It couldn't be used, but someone would just think that was because it wasn't their wand. I slipped the faux wand under the pillow and silently made my way back to my room. I opened my chest and placed the wand in the back of my book compartment since it had a parsletongue password. And nobody but me and maybe Voldemort could get in to it. I decide to collect the stone later this week and add it to the book compartment too. I would probably leaving school after this year, I wanted to take everything with me. So I might as well get everything collected now.

The next morning I pulled myself out of bed at my normal time so I remained on a normal schedule. Not wanting even Snape to know for curtain what I had done. I dressed in one of last year's gray shirt and black slacks with my house robe on. I never bothered with my dress shirt and tie anymore. Nobody seemed to notice or complain. I put my hair in a low ponytail and walked to breakfast. I began eating some oatmeal and raisins with a splash of honey. I didn't act nervous or suspicious because I knew if they had guess I killed Dumbles, they would have dragged me out of bed.
Draco came to my table and sat down. I turned to him and whispered. "How good are you at mind magic?" He shrugged. "I'm still learning". I nodded and asked quietly, "Can you change my memories, so I think I fell asleep while studying just in case Snape or someone decided to put me under veritaserum? I don't even want Voldemort to know I killed him. Dumbles wand is so incredibly strong I worry Voldemort or someone else will come after me in order to get their hands on it." Draco's eyes widened and nodded slowly. He began working at changing my memories of last night. I nibbled on some toast as he did it.

Suddenly Draco broke me away from my thoughts.
"So, how did it go last night?" I groaned.
"Fuck! I was studying and fell asleep. I guess I'll have to try again tonight." I dropped my face in my hands in frustration. Draco grinned and patted my shoulder. "I'm sure it will all work out." I groaned. "I know, I just wanted to get it over with."

As we were eating I watched as Mrs McGonagall rushed in to the dinning hall and whispered to a few teachers, then they all got up and scurried out of the room. Their faces all grave. I turned to Draco with a raised brow. "What do you supposed that's all about?" He just shrugged looked at me with a small mischievous smile. " I couldn't say." I could tell he wasn't telling me something but
shrugged it off.

I went to my classes but the teachers seemed off and distracted. The whole thing was very weird. At lunch Mrs McGonagall stood and addressed everyone. "Last night Professor Dumbledore died peacefully in his sleep. We will have a couple Aurors coming in, to make sure there was no foul play. But he appears to be have died of natural causes." I gave Draco a confused look. Things weren't adding up. He gave me a serious look and said, "well, that's unexpected. Looks like you were a day too late." My mouth was slightly open in shock. "You have to be fucking kidding me!" I said a bit too loud. I looked around and saw people looking at me. I raised an eyebrow and they looked away. Snape grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. Draco followed behind.
"Why'd you kill him?" I looked at Snape curiously and crossed my arms. "I didn't kill him. I had planned to, but fell asleep." Draco nodded. "He was just complaining about it during breakfast." Snape looked at both of us skeptically. "Hadrian, there were light traces of your magic in his room. It's light enough that nobody sensed it, but it was there. I cleaned out the magical energy better, but you did it." I looked confused. "But that's not possible. I slept through the night." Even after Veritaserum and proved it wasn't me, Snape insisted it was me. Eventually Draco stepped in when I started getting angry and demanded Draco tell us what was going on. As he was clearly hiding something. "Hades had me erase his memories.  He said the wand was so powerful he feared Voldemort or someone else would come after him for it." He said cautiously. Understanding flashed over Snape's features, and slight panic. "There are rumors in some circles, that he has the Elder Wand. If that's true, Hades you're right, Voldemort would come after you for it. No matter who you are. We will need to erase this conversation too. At least the end part." I nodded. This whole conversation left me confused and disoriented. So I had killed him. But feared backlash from Voldemort? I was his soul, he would never hurt me! Right? How powerful was this wand?!

"Does he have wand now?" Draco shrugged. "I don't know. He never said. But it sounded like he took it."
Snape nodded. "There was a wand, but while it has a slight magical signature, it definitely wasn't overly powerful, like he is saying. He must have replaced it with a fake. Okay, this conversation never happened. Draco, do you want me to erase your memory as well?" He cautiously nodded. "You are better at Occlumency than me."
Snape sighed frustrated with the whole situation. He first turned to Draco's and erased his memory of breakfast, then the end of our conversation. Then he turned to me and obliviated the end of our conversation in my memory. I could tell something was missing and I felt slightly disoriented from it. Where Draco had used a lock on my memory this morning keeping the memories there but inaccessible, Snape had just erased it. Not bothering with more complicated spell work.

After a short conversation Snape sent us off. He seemed a bit upset and disappointed in me. Though I don't know why. I proved I clearly didn't do it. Even if I had wanted to.
