Shadow Riddle: A Harry Potter Fan Fic

Goodnight

The rest of the night was a blur, and when I woke up ,in my bed, entangled with the one and only Draco Malfoy, I could feel a smile creep onto my face.

The Christmas holidays were done and normal lessons had resumed. How much I hate school. Nothing much happened in the weeks, the cabinet was fixed (kind of) and me and Draco became a public "Thing".

But I knew something bad was coming. I could feel it in my bones. But that thing wouldn't happen until the end of the year.

It was a cloudy day and Draco wanted to go to the top of the astronomy tower. It took some groaning and persuading to get me off the sofa and up the stone steps. But as we got half way up, the look on Draco's face said it all.

He was set. It was time and I didn't know what to do. Was I supposed to follow through with my dad's plan and help him.

I couldn't be a pawn. I'm a horcrux and I know it. What could I possibly do.

The familiar face of our head teacher pulled me out of my day dream. Dumbledore was going to die.

It was a strange feeling that swelled in me. A cold one. A bitter feeling of resentment to everything I was and made to become.

I finally knew how I was going to cheat my father. How I was going to stay away from all of this. Even if it meant hurting the one who means the most to me. I die and I save Draco. I save the whole school.

I turn to Draco who is standing with his wand out.

I see Bellatrix and the other death eaters climb the stairs.

I see Dumbledore trying to calm Draco down. How could he act so understanding whilst his life was on the line.

I shake my head in confusion. "Draco I'm sorry." I blurt out as I move to the edge of the tower.
"I love you. And I always have. Don't forget it. Don't ever think I did this to hurt you"

I pull out my wand and point it to my head. Draco nods slowly. "Let me, let me go with you" I shake my head. "No, your not doing that. You need to stay alive".

And as Snape stands up and kills Dumbledor, I mumble my final words. " Avada Ked..."

"EXPELLIARMUS!" my wand flys out of my hand and into Draco's.

"No I have to go." I feel tears on my face. "Good night Draco"

I fall backwards as I pull my old wand out of my cloak.

"Avada kedavra"
