My Only Hope (Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 11

"Hey, look at this, you can get rid of gnomes by swinging them in circles, then dropping them on their head," said Ron chuckling.

"Ron, don't you think that is a little violent?" said Hermione, not looking amused by Ron's findings.

"No, it's not violent, it's just how you get rid of them," said Ron, defending himself.

"I could not harm a defenseless creature like that," said Hermione, getting angry.

"You guys, stop fighting," said Harry, while reading a book.

We were all sitting around a library table. Every now and then Ron would crack a joke and we would all laugh causing Madam Pince, the librarian, to come over and tell us to be quiet.

"You know guys, I am going to miss this," I said and we all got quiet, knowing that we had to leave Hogwarts soon.

"Harmony, that's months from now; don't worry," said Harry, grabbing my hand.

"I know it's just-"

"Let's just enjoy our holidays and not worry about it," said Harry smiling.

"Your right," I said.

After about an hour or so of research, we all made our way to the Great Hall. Tomorrow we will all leave to go home for break. I was so excited. I wasn't even going to think about Voldemort or saving the Wizarding World... I would just relax with my friends. My parents were so excited to meet Harry; every time I got a letter from my mom, it said how much she couldn't wait to meet him. I didn't tell Harry or he might get really nervous.

It was going to be weird to not see Draco for two weeks. I don't even want to think about when we all have to leave the school. Well I guess Draco has to flee the school too. I was going to talk to Dumbledore about the whole Draco thing, just to make sure he knew, but every time Harry and I had a meeting with him, I just couldn't force myself to say anything. I didn't want to look like a traitor, associating with the enemy. I was extremely worried about Draco's safety. He had told me number of times that Voldemort killed innocent lives every day. When Harry, Ron, Hermione and I finally do leave, Voldemort is going to be hunting us all down. Probably by that time Voldemort is going to know about me.

Draco told me that he would lead Voldemort to the wrong places, but what if he finds out what Draco is doing? He would surely kill him. I wanted to tell Harry that Draco would be helping us, but that would probably end badly. Harry would be mad at what I had done.

Harry and I were currently in Dumbledore's office. It was the last meeting before break and Harry and I had just watched a memory of Tom Riddle.

"Now when you two come back for break, I need you to get a specific memory from Professor Slughorn... but for now just try to befriend him," said Dumbledore.

"Ok, Professor," said Harry.

"Well we all should probably go get some rest, so have a blessed holiday and we shall meet up in about two weeks," said Dumbledore, turning and going to sit at his desk.

"Ugh, go ahead Harry, I have to talk to Dumbledore," I said and Harry nodded in response.

Once Harry left the room, I knew what I had to do. I had to tell Dumbledore about what has been going on.

Professor, I-"

"Ms. Wilmond, are you going to tell me about what has been going on between you and Mr. Malfoy?" asked Dumbledore.

I looked at my hands before I said, "Yes, sir, he has to... kill you."

"I am well aware; you don't need to worry about me Ms. Wilmond, I will be fine," said Dumbledore.
