July 3rd

it had been 3 days since that night.

we hadn't gone back to Hogwarts.

we couldn't face it.

school didn't end for another week and we were sure our friends would be confused so i decided to write a letter to pansy knowing she would share it.

dear pansy,

i'm so sorry draco and i left Hogwarts early. i know your probably confused and il explain when i next see you. for now i can tell you were ok and well see you at the start of next year. i hope you enjoy the last week of school and have a lovely summer.

y/n

i know it wasn't much and i had no idea what i would tell her about why we left but this would have to do.

i sealed it and made my way to the owlry.

There was someone else there.

Corban Yaxley. Leo's father.

He wouldn't be here unless a meeting was happening.

"oh hi y/n" he said noticing me

"what are you doing here? is there a meeting?" i asked

"you haven't been told? there's one in half hour"he replied

"shit. i didn't know i've got to get ready!" i exclaimed

i made my way to Dracos owl and it took the letter setting off for pansy.

"y/n can i ask you something?" Corban asked

i was a bit confused what he wanted

"erm sure what's up?" i asked

"do you think Hogwarts will be that different next year?" he asked

"i expect everything will change. why?" i asked

"i'm just asking because my son goes there and i'm wondering whether to move his school" he replied

"oh Leo. i think he'll be alright at Hogwarts" i replied

"i suppose. can you do me a favour?" he asked

"erm alright" i said

"can you look out for him next year and just make sure he's okay?" he asked

"sure" i replied

Leo was a nice boy so i didn't mind keeping an eye out for him

"thank you i appreciate it and il see you at the meeting" he said as i left.

i hurried back to my room where Draco was waiting for me.

i was stressed about being ready so i began changing in front of him.

he'd seen me before so i didn't really care.

"did you know about the meeting?" i asked sliding my dress on

"no that's why i'm here i wanted to make sure you knew" he replied

he was already dressed and ready.

i quickly brushed my teeth and did quick makeup and hair.

we headed downstairs just as the rest of the death eaters were arriving.

i took my seat at the table and once we were all seated my father arrived.

snape walked in last.

"severus, i take it you bring news" my father inquired

news on what?

"it will happen Saturday next at nightfall" snape replied

"i've heard different my lord" corban yaxley spoke up

"the potter boy will not be moved until the 30th of this month. the day before his birthday" he finished

"that is a false trail. the aura play no part in his protection" snape argued

there was a muffled groan that silenced everyone.

"wormtail! keep our guest quiet!" my father demanded

"sorry my lord" wormtail quivered

"i face a complication in my plans tho. you see my wand is unable to kill harry potter. as a fact they are somewhat brothers. that is why i must use another's wand" my father continued as he skulked down the table.

"surely one of you would like the honour?" he asked

nobody answered.

he reached the Malfoys at the table and placed a hand on Draco's chair.

"how about you. Lucius?" he asked

"my lord" Lucius croaked

"i require you wand" my father demanded holding his hand out to Lucius

he reluctantly placed it into my fathers hand.

my father ripped the custom handle off and threw it onto the table in front of Draco.

he used the wand to bring a person down the table in the air.

i recognised her but couldn't think of where.

"we are joined tonight by miss charity burburage who formerly taught at Hogwarts school" my father announced

so that's where she's from.

i didn't recognise her because i usually skipped muggle studies.

pointless.

"her specialty was muggle studies. and it was her belief that we are the same as muggles and if she had her way she would even have us mate with them" he finished

The death eaters all 'ewwed' and laughed at her.

my fathers head snapped to me.

"y/n" he called upon me

"yes father" i replied

"stand" he commanded

i did. i stood to the side of him.

"i would like you to think of this as a sample of what's coming" he said

it took me a moment to process until i realised what he wanted.

he wanted me to kill her.

"if you will" he said gesturing for me to stand at the head of the table.

my heart was beating like crazy.

was Dumbledore not enough?

what was i saying? of course it wasn't.

i raised my wand at her and looked dead into Draco's eyes.

he clearly read me like a book because i could see the fear on his face.

i turned back to charity burburage.

"avada kerdavra" i said and the green light flashed from my wand.

she dropped onto the table lifeless.

"very good" my father said and i sat back down.

my feet felt wobbly as i sat.

i felt nagini slither over my lap and shuddered at the snakes touch as she slid onto the table.

"nagini dinner" my father said to her in parseltounge

i could speak it and understood.

i mouthed ' look away' to draco and he listened

i looked away myself as the snake swallowed the body...
