SURPRISES | Draco Malfoy

70

Harry and I made our way downstairs. A lot of students were standing around Dumbledore's lifeless body.

Harry kneeled down in front of him. Ginny wrapped her arms around him. I just stood there. I froze.

Soon everyone raised their wands. So did I.

Then Harry and I saw the death eaters walk away. They were in their way to Hagrid's hut. Harry had his wand in his hand as we ran after them, but keeping our distance.

Snape and the others race toward the edge of the grounds. Suddenly, Snape pulls up, looks back. Sees Harry sprinting toward him. Malfoy, looking edgy, is watching Harry too.

My father race towards the edge of the grounds, the others being just a little ahead of him. They come to halt when Harry yells something, he turns around to see me and Harry. Draco also turns around, he looks at me while tears were still rolling down my cheeks.

Just then a giant fireball erupts into the sky. Snape turns around and sees Bellatrix and the others around the flames. They've set Hagrid's Hut on fire.

Draco didn't know what to do. He just stood there. Frozen. Staring at me.

"Go on!" My father then yelled.

Draco turned around. A sad expression on his face. He ran away. He didn't even say anything. He just ran away.

I started crying even more. I fell to the ground, on my knees. I let out a scream. Draco wasn't out of my sight yet. He was still running away while looking at me.

I screamed once again, I felt power leave my body. A harsh gust of wind escaped my body as I screamed. It blew away a part of the fire. Some of the death eaters almost fell down because of it.

All the death eaters had disappeared now. My body fell down on the ground. The ice cold ground. I couldn't move. I had no strength left to move only a muscle.

"You may have gotten your mother's eyes, but you're as dim as your father. Yes. It's me. I'm the Half-Blood Prince." I heard my father tell Harry.

Then my father turned to me. He lifted me up. Everything went black.

I was exhausted.
