I would die for you, Diana Malfoy (Draco's twin) X Harry Potter

7

The room broke out in whispers again. Draco flinched. My mouth was wide open.

"Potter?", I asked.
"I...I thought you wanted to..."

"Yes. But I have got other plans. I want you to kill him. I can count on you, right?"

How could I kill someone in my own school? Everybody would see me. He was always around others. It was impossible for me to kill him. But I could not back track now. I had to do it.

"Of course".

My voice was silent and was still trembling.
As soon as the guests left the Manor, my parents yelled at me. They said I was reckless. Whatever. They never really understood me, so how could I care. It was to late now.

"Diana",said my twin as I reached the door to my room.

I turned around and forced a smirk. I did not want to seem weak to him, even though I never was that tense before.

"Why did you do it? You can't just kill him at school".

He was right. But I had no choice.

"Wow, so smart of you to tell me this. I did not know".

I crossed my arms and he looked angry.

"Are you so crazy for power? You want to be his personal slave so badly?"

"I don't want to be his slave you idiot. You heard him, he wanted a Malfoy to do it".

"He did that on purpose", he yelled.

"What are you two yelling about? Draco. Diana made her choice", said my dad as he came next to me.

"Your daughter is a stupid naive girl, Lucius".

My mothers words hurt. She stood next to Draco and barely looked at me. It was not that unusual for her to ignore me.

"She needs to do this, Narcissa. I trusg our daughter to the fullest".

My dad placed an arm on my shoulder. My mom looked at me for the last time before leaving the hallway.

"Love is the mosg powerful curse, Diana. Remeber it".

My dad followed my mom leaving me and my brother alone again. Did dad mean him and mom? What was he meaning?

"Anything you want to say, Draco?"

He hesitated. He did not look mad anymore. He was sad.

"No. But answer me a question. Did you take my role to save me?"

It was the truth. I did not want to admit it but one of the reason I applied for the job was to save my brother. I knew he could not do it. Voldemort would have killed him, I was sure. Gaining power was just an excuse at this point. But what would lying lead to?
I nodded as he formed his mouth into a thin smile.

"Thank you",he said and hugged me.

"There is nobody in the wizarding world who loves like the Malfoy's do. I will always come to rescue you, my little twin".

We separated from our hug and he walked away.

For the first time in my life I fell asleep crying. How could I ever been so stupid to think I could kill somebody? How was I going to kill that idiot? But I was to late now.
My dad's words kept floating in my mind.
Love is the most powerful curse. For the first time since I can think I asked myself what the true meaning behind this quote was.
