AN: So guys, here it finally is. The very last chapter of my story. I really hope that you have enjoyed the story so far and that you will like the ending of it. It has been a true journey for me to write this.
It's not edited yet but I really wanted to publish this tonight, so enjoy!
Chapter 40:
Just when my heart made a leap of joy, everything had to be ruined again. It was all too late. Draco had just agreed to flee with Dumbledore when a few death eaters found them. What a timing. They were laughing. One amongst them was Snape. To say that I was shocked would be a terrible understatement. If you would have told me this one day ago I would have never believed it. We couldn't communicate but I just knew that Harry and I probably felt and thought the same thing right now.
"Very good Draco", a woman's voice came out of the dark. She looked like a mad woman with crazy hair. I didn't know who she was but as soon as I saw and heard her, shivers went down my spine. "You've got him here all alone, unarmed. I was beginning to doubt you nephew but you lived up to the expectations."
Nephew? How many surprises more were there to come tonight? I could already feel a serious headache coming up but this wasn't the time to be weak, I had to stay strong. Not that I could be much of a help, all tied up like this, but still.
Draco pointed his wand at Dumbledore again and the death eaters were all smiling. I felt miserable and I could see that Draco did too. Why didn't he decide that he was on the good side sooner? But I realised that, with a family like that, he didn't really have much of a choice even if he wanted too. Tears were streaming down my face. Memories came back to me. Memories of Draco and I. Memories where he was smiling at me, laughing even, when he looked at me like he didn't have a care in the world, of when he kissed me like I was the most precious thing in the world. I swallowed deeply. He looked so miserable now. I was pleading with all my heart that he wouldn't kill Dumbledore, it wouldn't be fair. But to be honest, I didn't really see any way out of this miserable situation. I was getting so frustrated of doing nothing that I started to try to get loose again by using my verbal spells but it was no use. I couldn't focus with all this commotion going on upstairs.
"Do it", the woman suddenly yelled. They were all getting impatient. Draco pointed his wand, slightly trembling, straight at Dumbledore. My heart sank. "Kill him" she whispered in his ear.
"He can't do it, he's too weak" another Death eater cried out. I hoped that he was right. But nothing could go right anymore. Dumbledore, our only hope to salvation, was unarmed in a room full of death eaters. And we couldn't do a thing about it. I can't think of a moment in life when I have felt more miserable than I did now. Everything was so horribly wrong. Yet I knew now how Draco truly felt about me. Which made me feel even worse, because I doubted that I'd ever see him again after this night, if I'd even survive this.
"We have to hurry up, the ministry will undoubtedly be arriving soon" Snape said. I had almost forgotten that he was here. Harry and I had had a bad feeling about him all year. Yet everybody was so convinced that he was on the good side. Even Dumbledore trusted him. How bloody wrong they all were. I could see now though that Dumbledore has been mistaken more often, seeing the situation he was in now.
The Death eaters started bickering slightly and tried to get Draco to kill Dumbledore. With every word they said however Draco seemed more frightened to do it.
"Oh let's get this on with, I'll kill him then" Snape suddenly said. He pushed Draco aside and pointed his wand at Dumbledore. He seemed to be hesitating as well and everybody got quiet and looked at him with great expectations.
