SURPRISES | Draco Malfoy

68

Today was my last training with Dumbledore. I met him on the usual spot.

When I arrived I saw a huge pile of wood in front of me.

"Today, you're doing the big test. I'm going to say what to have to do to this big pile of wood. If succeed to do everything I say, you're ready with the training. If you don't, we'll continue for another while until you do." Dumbledore explained.

"Alright." I said. I threw my stuff aside and stood in front of the pile.

"Fire." He said.

It took 5 seconds before the whole pile was burning.

"Dim it with water." He said.

Water started emerging from the ground as I raised up my hand. Together, it formed one big bubble of water. I let it splash above the fire. It dimmed.

"Blow it away." He said.

I pushed my hands towards the pile. A strong wind blow the pile away.

"Now bring it back on one pile." He said.

I thought of the pieces wood. In my head I stacked them onto the pile again. When I opened my eyes, I looked at the pile of wood. I looked as if there was nothing that had happened to it.

"Good job, y/n." Dumbledore said.

I shrieked. "I did it?"

"Yes, you've completed your training. You have a great control over your power." He said.

"Thank you sir." I said and then made my way back to the castle.

. . .

I was so happy I had finally finished the training. I found myself sitting in the astronomy tower. I didn't sit at the top, but somewhere under there. I hid myself behind a few boxes.

I couldn't talk to Draco, but I did want to enjoy this view. I don't know why I had never thought of this before.

It was a dark day. But I still loved the view.

I thought I was alone in the tower, but all of a sudden I heard voices above me.

"We need to get you up to the hospital, sir, to Madam Pomfrey." A voice I recognized to be Harry's said.

"No. Severus. Severus is who I need. Go and get him. Tell him what has happened. Speak to no one else. I... I shall wait here." I heard Dumbledore. What we're they doing there? Where did they come from?

"All right. Okay." Harry said. "Sir, are you... praying?"

"No, Harry. I do not pray. I was merely closing a window -- the one that had allowed us to Apparate." Dumbledore replied. So they had apparated somewhere?

"Hide yourself below. And do not speak or show yourself without my permission. No matter what." Dumbledore said after he hearing footsteps. "Do as I say, Harry. Trust me."

Harry went down the stairs. I quickly looked over the boxes.

"Wha-" He started.

"Shh." I shushed him and put my finger before my mouth. "Be quiet." I said.

"Good evening, Draco. What brings
you out on such a fine Spring evening? Or is it Summer?" Dumbledore said.

My eyes grew wide. And I saw a strand of my hair turn yellow.

What was he doing here?

[a/n] had to split it in two because otherwise it would be so long.
