Forbidden love|| Percy Weasley

Chapter 78

I had just apparated at Hogmeads after a Patronus had arrived at my house just a few minutes ago telling me that there was a chance that deatheaters would enter Hogwarts and deep down I had a feeling who was behind this. I saw Tonks waiting for me a few miles away from where I had landed and when I walked up to her, I gave her a comforting hug not only because it had been days since the last time I had seen her but because I knew what she was going through with Lupin and how much his rejection had affected her. She hugged me, apologizing that she wasn't there on Christmas, and I let her know that everything was indeed alright. We started walking towards the castle, and it was then that I realized how dark the world had become since Voldemort had returned. We entered the castle through the gate, meeting with the other order members before we separated do patrols around the hallways. Walking through the castle walls during nighttime, kind of reminded me of the times when Percy and I used to do the exact same thing as Head Boy and Girl, and it made me miss like crazy my time here. Hogwarts was and always will be a home to me 

I was walking towards the astronomy tower because that was the place I was assigned to patrol when my entire body suddenly stopped moving. I felt a wand on my neck and a hand covered my mouth, preventing me from screaming for help. Someone who was definitely bigger than me picked me up and threw me over his shoulder just to be faced with my aunt who was standing right behind the huge man who I guessed to be Greyback from the wanting posters I had seen around Diagon Alley

Y/n: You 

I said with pure disgust while looking at my aunt who had a smirk on her face. Then she closed my mouth with a spell before I was able to say anything else to her. Too bad because I had many insults in my mind and I wouldn't be afraid to use them. After all, she was the one who tried to kill me almost a year ago 

Bellatrix: You, my dear niece, are the solution to our little problem

She said, showing me with her finger the astronomy tower before the man started walking again towards the place. Well I didn't care what they were going to do to me because I wasn't afraid of them, what I was most afraid of was Percy's reaction when he realised that I wasn't in my bed, resting like the doctor had said when he returned from the ministry. Well, that will be a long fight if I return home alive. The moment we started getting near the wooden door of the tower, I heard some familiar voices which made me realise what my aunt meant by me being the solution

Draco: Don't you understand I have to do this, I have to kill you, or he is going to kill my sister

The moment I heard those words, tears filled my eyes because even though I knew that Voldemort was probably threatening Draco with the things that were most dear to him, it still hurt that my little brother had to go through it all just to protect me. A job that I as a big sister didn't even do right. Protecting him was my job, but I failed it the moment I left home. I still regret the fact that I didn't take him with me the day that I left, even though I knew what was going to happen to him. But I guess I was too mad at my father to even think about the consequences that my actions would have at my brother

Bellatrix: Do it Draco and if you don't, someone will indeed die tonight 

She said after Greyback threw me to the ground. I let out a loud groan the moment my body hit the ground, but because of the spell, I wasn't able to do anything. My aunt grabbed my neck and made me stand up before pointing her wand at my head. Draco's eyes widened the moment he saw me, but before he was able to say or do anything Dumbledore got in the middle 

Dumbledore: Please Bellatrix she doesn't have to be a part of it 

He said, and my aunt laughed like his words were a funny joke to her 

Bellatrix: A deal is a deal, Dumbledore! It will be your or her dead body that we will give to the Dark lord. But it all depends on Draco

She said looking at Draco with a smirk on her face and I nodded negatively at him telling him to not kill Dumbledore because that wasn't something my little brother would do. Draco wasn't a killer, he was my sweet little brother who used to come every time there was a storm in my bedroom for me to read him stories until he fell asleep. Or did he change that much under my father's effect? No Draco wouldn't and that is what I would like to believe
