Original:
Draco stares at you, waiting for your answer.

Draco: Well?

You stare at him, unable to speak. He sighs and begins to slowly walk over to you.

Draco: Ana?

You turn your head and watch him approach you, his hands are up, showing he doesn't have his wand. He's being cautious.

Draco: Darling, I would never do it on purpose. I had no choice.

You nod, still unable to find the words. Draco takes your hands in his and holds them to his lips, kissing your knuckles.

Draco: Say something, talk to me.
You: How did he know about us?

Draco drops your hands but doesn't let go.

Draco: He's been watching over us.
You: This entire time?

He doesn't say anything and nods. You sigh, shaking his hands off and walking away from him. You pause, and turn to face him, remembering one thing.

You: What task did you need to complete?

Draco's eyes widen at your question.

Draco: Ana, I don't think...
You: What task, Draco!?

He sighs, giving up.

Draco: I had to use one of the unforgivable curses.

You don't like where this is going.

You: Which one?

Draco hesitates.

Draco: The killing curse.
You: On who?

Draco stares into your eyes, shaking his head.

Draco: No, Ana...
You: On who!?

His eyes are on the bridge of tears as he says one simple word...

Draco: Dumbledore.

He drops his head and covers his face as you stand there in shock.

"It was him!? He killed..."

You: How...why...wh...

He looks up, his eyes bloodshot.

Draco: It was either you or him...
You: Draco, I'm going to die anyway...he was the only key to killing Voldemort! Our only thing we had left!
Draco: Ana, I will always choose you! If I had to save you or Harry, I would choose you! Even if you fight me for it, even if you hate me after! It will always be you!

You sigh.

"He would have been forced to kill me."

Draco: Please, Ana, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you anything.

"But that doesn't give him the right to not tell me!"

You: You had every fucking chance to tell me! And you do it here?

You motion around to the messy kitchen of the old diner.

Draco: I didn't want to ruin any-
You: You should have told me. Told me everything!
Draco: I know. I wanted too...

You sigh, rolling your eyes.

You: Is that all you wanted to do? See me and tell me the truth?
Draco: Not exactly...

You raise your eyebrow in confusion.

Draco: I need your locket.

Your eyes go wide.
