What if [name] malfoy stepped in to stop Draco from killing Dumbledore?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Good evening, Draco. " Dumbledore greeted. draco looked around, making sure they were alone before looking at Dumbledore. "Who else is here? I heard talking." Draco questioned, "I often talk aloud to myself, I find it extraordinary useful. But that question 1 might ask you, are you acting alone?" Dumbledore asked after answering Draco.
As Draco rolled his sleeved up, fear coiling in [names] stomach well harry held them back, Draco showed off his dark mark before answering Dumbledore. "No, I've got back up. There are death eaters in your school tonight." Dumbledore didn't seem surprised, "Well, well, ambitious homework project. You found a way to let them in, did you?" He asked, Draco nodded. "Yeah, and before you ask, Y/N didn't know or was involved in any way." He said defensively, "Is that so? You did this completely alone?" Dumbledore seemed to not believe him completely.
"Right under your nose, and you never realised!" Draco confirmed, doubling down, "Ingenious, Yet ... forgive me ... where are they now?You seem unsupported." Dumbledore suggested, "They met some of your guard. They're having a fight down below. They won't be long ... I came on ahead. I - I've got a job to do." Draco stuttered.
"No.." [name] whispered in disbelief, horrified about what they knew Draco meant. They knew Draco couldn't, and they could guess what would happen to him and their family if Draco didn't. Lightly, they released Harry's hand. Luckily, Harry was too entranced watching Dumbledore and Draco. "Well, then, you must get on and do it, my dear boy, I'm sure [name] will understand." Draco encouraged softly.
Stuned silence lingered, the mention of [nane] harmed draco in a way he couldn't say, staring at a smiling Dumbledore for a few minutes, "Draco, Draco, you are not a killer.Even [name] said that." He assured, "DON'T SAY THEIR NAME! How would you know?!' Draco yelled, but as he realized the childishness of his question, his face became tinted with red from embarrassment and anger. "You don't know what I'm capable of,' you don't know what I've done!" Draco continued.
Dumbledore disagreed, "Yes, I do. You almost killed Katie Bell and Ronald Weasley. You have been trying, with increasing desperation, to kill me all year. Forgive me, Draco, but they have been feeble attempts... so feeble, to be honest, that I wonder whether your heart has been really in it... Especially by the way you cling onto Y/N in the infirmary. " Dumbledore suggests.
Dumbledore raised his hand, revealing his wand, with Draco swiftly disarming him. "I SAID STOP SAYING THEIR NAME !I WON'T WARN YOU AGAIN!! For the record, my heart has been in it!" He asserted, [name stared at Draco who'd been shaking, Harry rubbed their shoulder. "I've been work- ing on it all year, and tonight -" Dumbledore cut him off. "Yes, you have managed to introduce Death Eaters into my school, which, I admit, I thought impossible ... how did you do it?more importantly, why? you ought to get on with the job alone, 'after all, you don't really need help ... I have no wand at the moment ... I can't defend myself....Unless they're here to take your brother ... Y/N is marked for death, is he not ?" Dumbledore asked well Draco stared at him, his hands shaking.
"The Dark Lord seems interested and
him thanks to your ...Training." Dracos' annoyed tone was evident as he spoke. "I see. Well, it will please you to know I've hid your brother well." said Dumbledore kindly, when Malfoy neither moved nor spoke, but his hand shook less at the reassurance that his sibling was safe.
The two went back and forth continuously, Dumbledore trying to reassure Draco. Well, Draco reminded him of what would happen if he didn't listen to the dark lord by killing the old man in front of him.
Suddenly, harsh foot steps thundered up into the tower, making Draco hold his wand firmer. "Well...look what we have here." A familiar curly haired insane woman spoke. Bellatrix Lestrange leaned over, whispering in dracos' ear. "Good evening.Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order. Don't you? Dumbledore asked, "Love to,Albus.but I'm afraid we're all on a bit of a tight schedule. We wasted too much time looking for that filthy, bloody traitor, former nephew of mine." The feeling of dread began mixing with a boiling rage in [name] one that they only felt so many times, and the last time they felt it, they beat a teacher in class.
"He's hidden in a place so secret not even Merlin himself can find him." Dumbledore assured, yet the feelings never swayed, even as Harry gripped them. "Do it." Bellatrix whispered agitated. "He doesn't have the stomach. Just like his father. Let me finish him my own way like I did with that Y/N boy. I could use a new chew toy." Greyback said, getting a glare from Draco.
Harry and [name] looked back, feeling someone coming, and seeing Snape made everything click in [names] head, made what he heard make so much more sense.

[Name] walked around the halls looking for Dumbledore, and when he reached the man's office, he heard something he couldn't unhear. "You must be the one to kill me, severus. It's the only way." The desperation in his voice scared [name] and hit him with the overwhelming feeling of unease and the feeling that they shouldn't be there. So they ran.

They'd read about wands out of curiosity. They wanted to know what would happen if the wand user died. After all, they wouldn't want their wand to be a waste. Finding out that there was a chance it'd only become loyal if the person who killed the wielded the wand made them curious. And now that Snape would be the one to kill Dumbledore, it makes the wand loyal to Snape, the same wand Voldemort wanted, [name] realized Voldemort would have to kill Snape for the wand.
The teacher that had driven them mad for a few years but became an overall confidant, they wouldn't let this happen. Pushing away Harry, they ran up, gripping their wand tightly as their blood ran cold well their body reacted without thought.
Using their free hand, they gripped Dumbledores robes, pushing him back on the railing, shocking everyone as they pointed their wand at Dumbledores throat. "I know everything. I know what you were planning." They whispered. "But I can't let them get hurt like this." They whimpered quietly as they teared up. A gentle hand rested on their shoulder, rubbing it reassuringly. "Always so smart, please [name]." Dumbledore asked. "I will." Their voice cracked, tightly they closed their eyes, imiaing the person they gripped the robes of to be Voldemort, the man who ruined their life repeatedly as they readied the spell.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" They screamed, letting Dumbledore fall off the tower as they fell to their knees, feeling their soul tear with the weight of the curse. The tower was silent as they cried silently, Snape suddenly grabbed Draco and them by the scruff of his neck, taking the Teo away, as Bellatrix and the others went to the rail looking at Dumbledores body. Bellatrix screamed at the sky happily, blasting green magic at the sky, making the dark mark much more vibrant like layering a cake.
The last thing the remember is accio'ing Dumbledores wand and swiftly hiding it without anyone noticing. Everything was a blur afterward. Every touch, word, and feeling was nothing to them.
