Dumbledore raised his wand, and I quickly stood up throwing my hands in front of me, "Wait, wait, wait! I didn't mean kill me immediately, goodness gracious do you hate me that much?" I said exasperatedly. 

What he did next surprised me so much, that I dropped my wand - Albus Dumbledore started hysterically laughing.

"Oh Rose, you truly haven't changed."

I glared, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Always concluding the worst." He said his face still smiling.

I sighed heavily and dropped myself back in the chair, "I don't know what that means but I don't really care, anyways...sir... There's something you should know."

I closed my eyes and continued when Dumbledore gestured for me to go on, "That night when I left, Voldemort he took me somewhere... A cave of some sort," I said opening my eyes a bit to see Dumbledores expression. I had never seen him listening so attentively.

"I killed someone, a boy, I didn't want too but he told me he would kill me and I know it sounds bad but if I died how would you ever know," I said rambling on and stopped myself.

"Know what?" Dumbledore said his hands held together tightly in front of me. His eyes were knowing.

"You already know... I should have died that night." I said my eyes brimming on tears. Who had I become?! Who was I? 16 years on this unforgiving planet and I had yet to find out who I was, so far all I knew was that I self loving, murdering, sarcastic death eater, who couldn't even do that right!

Dumbledore sighed and looked down, "Rose, I will not tell you that you have not made unforgivable mistakes, but we can still help you, you just need to finish your story."

"Horcruxes. That's why he can't die, sir, it's the reason he's still alive." I said quickly, I took another deep breathe and looked at him straight into his blue twinkling eyes, "He made me make one, and I fully intend on destroying it and then letting him kill me, there's nothing I can do to help anymore, I only hurt people and it'll save Harry life's if I die now."

Dumbledore gave me a long look, before he said, "I will not lie, Rose you are the weapon to destroy Harry, you have the power, the capability, the wand," he said gesturing towards my hand holding the powerful wand I had recieved so many years ago, "By killing people you have destroyed the magical twin bond that was created at your birth, giving you the power to kill Harry simply - something Voldemort cannot accomplish with the protection that Harry still has from your mother. That protection had been evoked from you the moment you left with Voldemort in the chamber. I used to believe that was the reason that Voldemort wanted you, but now after what had happened, he doesn't want you to kill Harry, he wants Harry to kill you."

"But why? He knows Harry would never do that.." I said, confused.

"Unless Harry thought you were a real threat," He said, now standing up and pacing his office, "Rose, have you not wondered why Voldemort would share his darkest secret with you? Why he would show you how to create something that would make you more powerful? What Voldemort was been doing to you for the past 6 years?! He has used your hatred for the world, the hatred that came from living in that cruel orphanage, for your demise. He has been trying to turn you to pure evil, and you know what keeps you from turning into a person like Voldemort?"

I shook my head.

"Love."

He continued after he saw I wasn't planning on saying anything, "he wanted to create you into something evil, so Harry would have no choice but to kill you, and furthmore take away Harry's humane side, because watching you turn evil, would take away everything from Harry. The love and life, emotionally, would be taken away from Harry. But if Harry knew you died for a good cause, if you died for him, it would empower him, he would fight back, he has the potential to defeat Voldemort once and for all. I can't protect you for long Rose," he finished, showing me his blackened hand. I immediately recongized it as dark magic.

"How long do you have?" I asked, my mind whirling, that hand was dead, and only something immesenly evil could have caused it.

"A few months."

"I don't want to hide from him, I don't want to run away, there's only one way to protect Harry."

He sighed.

I stared out the window, the darkness seemed to engulf the night.

"Can I say goodbye first?"

"I think that would be fitting. I wish there was another way Rose."

"Me too. Goodbye Albus Dumbledore, thank you... For everything."

He solemnly nodded, and I thought i saw tear in his bright blue eyes.

And with that I walked out of the office, I had a few people I had to say goodbye too.

*******
Walking toward the familiar Slytherin Common room, gave me goosebumps. I admired the green light emitting from the lake, and stared around, saying my own silent goodbye to the common room. The room where I had countlessly cursed Pansy Parkinson, the thought brought a smile to my face, the place where I had met Chase and Liam.

Chase and Liam....

I walked into the 6th year dormitories, I immediately knew which beds the boys were in. I walked slowly to the side and shook Chase, a part of me had really liked this boy...

He opened his eyes slowly and then jumped out of bed when he saw me, "What? How? Rose? Wait - what? Liam!" He whispered, shouted and I couldn't help but just stand there, doing, saying nothing.

Liam awoke and looked between us and then quickly grabbed his wand and came rushing to Chase's side.

I gestured towards the two confused boys to follow me out, I wasn't really fond of waking up all the Slytherin boys.

Stepping into the common room, the two boys immediately started shouting, their wands held up high.

I rolled my eyes, "Can you two idiots shut up and listen?"

Chase interrupted, "Where have you been? You can't just come back in the middle of the night and expect us to go with it! We thought you were dead!"

I pinched the bridge my of nose with my fingers, "Listen, I'm fine, I'm sorry I left, I truly am, I'm sorry for killing your sister and causing you so much pain. I can't bring her back, but I can try to make it better. I just wanted to come back and say goodbye, I felt as if I owed you guys atleast that much."

"Goodbye? What do you mean, you're not staying?!" Liam said.

I shook my head, "A war is about to begin guys, you need to protect yourselves, Dumbledore won't be here to keep you safe  forever. I had to warn you, just keep yourselves safe." I said, and then quickly stepping forward and giving them both a hug.

They started saying something but I stepped back, "Goodbye Chase and Liam."

They both fell speechless as I walked out of the room... just one more person to say goodbye too.

****
I stood besides the boy with the lightening shaped scar's bed. The moon illuminated his face, and I saw how much his face was similar to mine, same green eyes.

I bent forward and kissed his forehead, "Goodbye Harry. I love you."

I couldn't wake him up, it was too painful. Tears coming down my eyes as I flew out from the building, the doors opening wide as I flew into the dark night sky.

*NO ONES POV

The raven haired girl walked into the luxuriously decorated manor and into the dark dining room, where a certain dark wizard sat awaiting her return.

His surprise was evident on his face, when the girl walked in, and in a single moment broke her own wand in half.

"People won't die because of me anymore, go ahead destroy the horcrux, kill me." She said quietly but defiantly.

He laughed, "You silly girl, there was no horcrux! You need to want to rip your soul apart, something you pitifully never wanted."

The confusion was on the girls face. But it was too late, there was nothing she could do now. She had been mistaken, heavily mistaken.

She closed her eyes.

"But it doesn't matter Rose, I was wrong to think you could actually be useful."

Lord Voldemort raised his wand, and with a flash off bright green light, the girl who never got to live, the lost twin, got shot back by the force of the spell and fell.

Eyes still closed, Rose Evans drifted off into a never ending sleep.
