the scent of love

chapter 2

“so are you sure you are coming back? Alive? With all of your limbs on your body? Healthy?” Draco asks. I chuckle. “yes I’m with Dumbledore I trust him.” I answer. “that’s why I’m so worried. Please send me an owl as soon as you arrive there and when you leave again. So I don’t have to worry.” He says. “Draco, I’m not your boyfriend and I’m not your child. Don’t worry about me. I’m with Dumbledore. He is a powerful wizard.” I say. “yes, but, Voldemort was a powerful wizard too. One year old you defeated him. you didn’t even have a wand.” He says. I chuckle. “I’ not going to die. If I do you can have my place in the quidditch team.” I say. “please die.” He says. I start laughing. “I will think about it.” I answer. He chuckles. “this may sound fucking gay, but I’m going to miss you.” He says. I smile. “it’s okay you are gay.” I say. “shut up.” He says. I smile and leave his bedroom. I walk towards Dumbledore’s office. “what did take you this long?” he asks. “I said goodbye to my friends, maybe it’s the last time.” I answer. He nods. Take arm.” He orders me. “I thought you couldn’t apparate in hogwarts?” I ask. he winks at me. Disgusted? Yes.

Pov Draco
There is a knock on the door. Is Harry back? Please be back. “come in.” I say. “Draco.” Snape his monotone voice sounds. I look up from my potions book. “good morning.” I answer. “the vanishing cabinet?” he asks. “I’m on it.” I sigh. He nods. “how many people are coming?” I ask. “it’s sounds like you are going to give a party.” He says. “Snape how many?” I ask. “6 I think including us.” He says. I nod. “do you think Harry is going to be there?” I ask. “why do you care about him?” he asks. “he’s a Slytherin after all.” I answer. “one stupid boy less. He doesn’t belong in Slytherin.” Snape answers. I nod and he leaves. I start crying again. Malfoys don’t cry. Malfoys don’t cry. I’m not a true Malfoy. I am a true Malfoy. Draco stop thinking go to that cabinet. Open it and kill him. come on Draco. You can do this. I walk towards the room of requirements. I desperately walk towards the cabinet. You can do this. Draco you can do this. The cabinet opens. I silently walk away. I just let death eaters into hogwarts. I just did that. I go to the astronomy tower I hear Dumbledore and Harry talking. I swallow and walk in the room but harry isn't there. "good evening Draco." Dumbledore says. "what brings you here on this spring evening?" he asks. "who were you talking to?" I ask. of course I know who he was talking to; "I often talk to myself extremely meaningful. do you whisper to yourself too?" he asks I don't respond "Draco you are not a murderer." he says "I've done some shocking things." I reply "like putting a spell on Katie in the hope that she poisons me or replace booze with poison?" he asks "forgive me Draco that was all so weak I wonder if you really wanted it." he says. I pull up the sleeve of my left arm "he trusts me he chose me." I say "I'll make it easy." he says and takes out his wand " expelliarmus!" his wand flies out of his hand. Some noices come from downstairs. "you are not alone are there others how?" he asks "the vanishing cabinet in the room or requirement. I repaired that." I say "let me guess it's a couple?" he says "at borking and burkes a passage." "ingenious!" he replies on it "Draco I've known a boy who kept making wrong choices, let me help you." he says "I don't want your help!" I say angrily "don't you understand?" desperation starts creeping up "I have to do this." it came out weak "I have to kill you." the words hit me I have to kill a person. "or he's gonna kill me." I'm scared very scared. some other death eaters come towards me. "what have we got here?" Bellatrix says. "well done Draco." she whispers "good evening Bellatrix. we're not going to introduce ourselves?" Dumbledore  asks. "I'd like Albus but I'm afraid there's no time." she says "do it!" she calls to me. "he doesn't dare like his father let me do it." "no the lord told him to do it." "this is your time do it!" "come on Draco now!" Snape suddenly walks behind me. "Severus" comes out weak Dumbledore's mouth. "please." he begs "avadra kedavra" Snape's words echo across the room and Dumbledore falls down. what have we done. I see Harry running away.
Bellatrix and the other death eaters are destroying the school. The school that used to be my home. “Snape! He trusted you!” Harry yells and then Bellatrix sets Hagrid’s hut on fire. Harry throws a spell at Snape. “fight back! You coward fight back!” Harry yells. Of course he is angry. I want to hug him. he is so broken. I see it in hi eyes. “sectum sempra!” Harry throws and unknown spell at Snape. “how dare you use my own spells against me Potter?” he asks. I look at Harry’s shocked face. “yes I am the half-blood prince.” Harry collapsed on the ground. What have I done? I want to go back. Now. I look at Harry. Harry looks at me and glares. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. What the hell have I done? Harry runs away. “come on let’s go.” Bellatrix says. we apparate towards my home. What used to be my home at least. Now it’s full with death eaters and dark magic and fuck. “crucio.” Voldemort his cold voice sounds. Pain is the only thing I can feel. “why didn’t you kill him?” he asks. “I knew Potter was watching.” I try to answer. He stops putting the spell on me. “go to your bedroom.” He orders. I walk upstairs and lie down on my bed. Fucking dumb idiot. I slam the pillow against my face.
