Cassondra's POV
" Go hide yourself down below. Don't speak or be seen by anyone. What ever happens stay down below. Do as I say Harry. Trust me." Dumbledore told him.
Harry nodded and looked at me.
" Miss Lestrange stays with me." Dumbledore said.
Harry looked conflicted but ran down the stairs. I fully stood up." Cassondra your main priority is to keep that locket safe. If it comes down to your life or mine you must chose yourself." Dumbledore told me.
" Yes sir." I nodded.
The foot steps got louder and finally the person came up to the top floor where we were. Just as I thought it was Draco in his all black suit." Good evening Draco." Dumbledore greeted.
" Who else is here? I heard you talking to someone." Draco asked with his wand raised.
I came out of the corner.
" It's just me Dray." I said moving slowly towards Dumbledore.
Draco looked at me with scared eyes." Draco, you are no assassin." I told him.
" How would you know Cassy. I've done things that would shock you. Even the things you do know about is just the beginning." Draco said.
" Forgive me Draco but these things you've done seems like that are not really your actions." Dumbledore said.
" He trust me. I was chosen!" Draco pulled up his sleeve to reveal the dark mark." He doesn't trust you. His multiplying you, Dray can't you see!" I told him.
" I have to do this." Draco said.
" Then I shall make it easy for you." Dumbledore held out his wand.
" Expelliarmus." Draco shouted and Dumbledore's wand flew out his hand.
Draco looked at me with his wand pointed at me threatening. I pulled my wand out of my boot and threw it behind me down the hundred foot drop.The door creaked open again.
" There are others." Dumbledore observed.
" How?" I asked.
" The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement. I've been mending it." Draco told us.
" Let me guess. It has a sister, a twin." Dumbledore guessed.
" At Borgin and Botts. They form a passage." Draco confirmed." Ingenious. Draco, years ago I knew a boy that made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you." Dumbledore glanced at me when talking about my father.
" I don't want your help. Don't you understand. I have to this. I have to kill you or his going to kill me." Draco eyes filled with tears.
" Not if I kill him before he can get to you." I spoke up.
" No one can kill him." Draco let a tear roll down his cheek.We heard people come up the stairs. We all looked to see who it was. My mother came up the stairs. She didn't look anywhere but me. We made dead eye contact. She gave a wicked smile. More death eaters appeared behind her.
" Well look what we have here." Bellatrix said walking towards Draco.
" Well done Draco." She planted a soft kiss on his shoulder.
" Good evening Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order don't you." Dumbledore scanned the death eaters.
" Love to Albus, but we're on a bit of a tight schedule." Bellatrix smirked.
I slowly moved my hands behind my back. I wiggled my fingers to get my magic flowing without letting it take over my entire appearance." Do it." My mother told Draco.
" He doesn't have the stomach. Just like his father. Let me do it." Greyback sneered.
" No! The dark lord was very specific. The boy has to do it." Bellatrix said.
I looked at Dumbledore, he wore a calm expression.
My mother looked back at Draco.
" This is your moment. Do it! Do it Draco! Nooowww!!" Bellatrix screamed.Draco held up his wand his hand shaking.
" No." A low voice said.
Snape appeared and Draco lowered his wand and back away.
" Severus. Please." Dumbledore said calmly.
" Avada Kedavra." Snape said.
The green light hit Dumbledore in the chest as he fell back off the astronomy tower." No!" I yelled reaching out to grab him.
I fell to my knees and watched him fall.
" Now, just to deliver my dear daughter back to her father." Bellatrix said.
I stood up and faced them. They were all blocking the exit. They all put there wands down.
" I except your surrender." I smirked.
They all immediately put their wands back up threateningly.
" No way out. Just come with us dearie." Bellatrix started walking towards me." Actually....there is one way." An idea popped into my head.
I put hand to my head and saluted them, then flipped them off with both of my middle finger and fell backwards off the astronomy tower. My mother screamed and shot a spell in the air casting the dark mark. I closed my eyes and pictured the courtyard in my head. I was engulfed in a cloud of purple smoke. I fell about a foot above the courtyard. I crashed into the hard ground. I groaned, and rolled onto my stomach. I pushed myself up and looked around me. Dumbledore was laying opened eyed a few feet away.I walked over to him. The courtyard filled with students and professors all gasping and screaming. I bowed my head. I can't remember how long I had my eyes closed and head bowed until I heard people erupt in whispers. I looked up and saw Harry quickly coming towards me. Once he got close enough he wrapped me in a hug. I immediately hugged back and buried my head in the crook of his neck.
" I though they got you too." Harry whispered.
" I'm so sorry. I tried, to save him. Snape took me by surprise I'm sorry." I apologized.
" Snape betrayed us all. There's nothing you could have done to stop him." Harry told me.
I nodded and we let go of one another. Harry looked at Dumbledore and kneeled next to him. Harry started to cry. I placed my hand on his shoulder. He grabbed it and pulled my down with him. I cradled his head as he lent against me. I felt his tears fall onto my bare skin between my boots and dress.Everyone placed there wands up and lit up the dark sky. I ran my hair through Harry's messy hair and held him. I looked up at sky where the dark mark was being destroyed by the light. I could feel the locket in my pocket. That's when I decided I wouldn't be returning to Hogwarts next year. I would find all the hurcruxes and destroyed them. I'll destroy him.
If it's the last thing I do.
