Darkness // Tom Riddle // Voldemort // (2.2)

Ding dong the witch is dead!

Watch the torch set aflame. Watch it burn, watch it fade. Watch the armies gather suit. Someone's got to win and lose, it wont be us, it will be you. Lula thought as she made her up to the astronomy tower.

'They say my heart is almost black, but, who's to blame for that?' she asked seeing Albus sat, panting for breath he looked a moment away from death. 'Who's to blame for?'

'Hello Tallulah.'

'You really want to die don't you?' lula spat.

'On the contrary my dear...' his eyes drifted to harry under the stairs.

'They take, they take until you give, well I'm giving the a choice, a better alternative!' lula reminded him.

'You are a powerful witch Tallulah Malfoy.' Albus confirmed.

'You taught me well, now watch me win.' Lula told him, 'Now watch me win.'

'You don't want this. Really. You don't. severus said he saw light in you. He said he saw-' albus tried.

'That's because I protected Severus, he is a good boy, always has been. He has loyalty right.' Lula reminded him and albus nodded, severus certainly did have loyalty. 'You know it's bad, I know too, but still... There's nothing left to lose.'

'This isn't fair Professor, you have me sorely outmatched.' Albus said hearing footsteps coming up the stairs this was going to be his last.

'Don't tell me it's not fair. Believe me, I've been there. when you sent your gryffindors after me. I was alone and I was innocent. Well as innocent as them. but that's why you sent them after me isn't it?' lula questioned seeing draco out of the corner of her eye. Tom wanted draco to do it. Do show his allegiance.

'Tallulah, this wont end well. For me or you.' Albus assured her.

'Count your blessings, count your minutes, Played my game, hell now you're in it.'

'Professor...'

'Bittersweet, my renegade... And I'm anything but tame. Grab your sword Albus, you might just need it.' A wicked smiled on her face. 'Cause I'm not afraid of cheating. Oh, I hate to tell you this way, Villains aren't born, darling, we're made and you made me this way. Chew on that, old man.' She spun around a big smile on her face as Draco appeared.

Draco held his wand out pointing at the Dumbledore slowly approaching

'Good evening Draco it's a lovely spring evening isn't it.'

'Who else is here I heard you talking!' Draco snapped

'Just me I like to talk to myself. Do you listen to yourself Draco?' albus questioned. 'Draco you are no assassin.' Albus reminded him.

'How do you know who I am I've done things you don't even know!' Draco snapped back nervously.

'You mean Katie Bell what you did was merciful was easy fixed.' Albus assured.

'You don't know anything! I have been chosen!' Draco declared pulling up his sleeve to reveal the death eaters mark on his arm. 'The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement...'

'Let me guess it has a sister a twin?'

'Albus a smart on Albus, too bad your little profit didn't see your death coming.' Lula remarked.

'At Borgin and Burkes a secret passage...' Draco told him

'Genius Draco... you were just simply a boy who made all the wrong choices... you don't make anymore.'

'I don't want your help!' Draco told him through clenched teeth 'I have to do this I have to kill you or he is going to kill me.' lulas smile faultered for just a moment. Tom wouldn't kill draco. She wouldn't allow that. but the more she looked at dracos face the more she saw fear, he was terrified. He didn't want to do this but her thought were quickly silenced by the footsteps of death eaters approaching Bellatrix laugh breaking through Lula's thoughts. Bellatrix smiled happily hugging lula.

'Well look what we have here!' she said happily coming up behind Draco. 'Well done Draco.' she said blowing him a kiss.

'Good evening Bellatrix I think introductions are in order don't you?' albus questioned looking around the group of death eaters.

'I'm afraid we are on a bit of a tight schedule Albus.' Bellztrix reminded him. 'Do it' she sneered in Dracos ear. 'kill him.'

'He doesn't have the stomach, just like his father.' another death eater said.

'watch it. Or I kill you along with Albus here.' Lula sneered at him.

'we can finish it one way or another... I know the dark lord wanted him to do it but...'

'go on Draco now!' Bellatrix screamed

'No' severus said coming up behind them. Severus moved away from harry silencing him. 'No' severus repeated.

'Sevy, join the party!' lula declared happily.

'Severus.' Dumbledore said knowing this was his fate. 'please...' he whispered. Severus sucked in a pained breath, he hated this, he hated this so much.

'Avada cadavra.' Severus declared and Dumbledore went flying Bellatrix went to the balcony shooting off a spell, a skull appeared in the clouds as she screamed happily. Lula looked dwon at a very dead Albus Dumbeldor she smiled down at him before hooking her arm with Bellatrix running out of the astronomy tower. Severus and the death eaters Draco included all left, harry stood underneath terrified and angry, anger filled him. Draco was scared as Bellatrix and Lula ran across the table kicking the plates blowing out the candles with a wave of dark magic the window breaking the glass shattering in on the great hall, she skipped happily. They shared a mischevious grin as they ran destroying the great hall.

'Snape!' Harry yelled 'he trusted you!' Bellatrix lit hagrids hut on fire

'You coward fight back!' Harry demanded but Severus reflected all the spells Harry threw at him Bellatrix stepped forward sending Harry flying backwards.

'Tom wants the kill for himself.' Lula reminded her while harry was on the ground serverus started to walk away but Harry got up shooting out a spell at him. Severus again reflected it sending harry flying to his back miserably. Severus walked up to him threateningly

'You dare use my own spells against me Potter? I am the half blood Prince.' he informed him walking away.

'Come one Sevy,' lula purred holding out a hand. 'much to do...' she grinned as severus grabbed her hand.

Dumbledore laid dead before the students they had all gathered around Minerva held up her wand sending a little spark of light into the darkness above. The rest of the professors and students joined and everyone raising their ones up in remembrance of their dear friend and professor. The light and pain and grief filled the courtyard breaking through the darkness that loomed over Hogwarts.

'Booo!" Bellatrix and lula declared as the sky lightened above hogarts.

'no matter, the old man is dead.' Lula said happily. 'with him down they will all fall in the end.'
