— The Vanishing Cabinet —

This chapter is SUPER short (like 622 words) but the next one is the usual length.

This chapter contains a graphic death scene

It was the Hogsmeade weekend and I had everything set and planned out. Draco didn't know that I would be killing Robert but he knew something was going to happen to the kid. He was going to give Katie the necklace and she would hopefully get the necklace to Dumbledore safely, then I would kill the boy.

We sat in the Three Broomsticks like usual and waited for Katie to enter.

"What are you going to do to him?" asked Draco, fear in his grey eyes.

"That's none of your business," I responded for the eighth time in the previous five minutes.

"Well actually, it kind of is," he said.

I glared at him and said, "No, Draco. It's not. I have orders from the Dark Lord and if he didn't share them with you it's none of your business. I don't have to share information and I won't." He sighed and sipped his overly sweet butterbeer.

After about half an hour, Katie Bell walked through the door.

"Operation Mongoose is ago," I said.

His eyes widened and he clutched the side of his jacket where the necklace was hidden.

I stood up and left as he went to give her the package.

I spotted Robert's bright blue hair in Honeydukes and quickly walked to the store in where the Metamorphmagus boy was located.

He was looking at a couple candy wands when I asked him what he was doing.

The Gryffindor turned quickly, frightened and I whipped out my wand and rapidly whispered Imperio.

I was lucky he was in the back and that everyone else in the store was too focused on the candy rather than the people around them.

Robert breathed in the green dusty smoke that came from the tip of my wand and a loopy expression spread across his young features.

I then lead him out of the candy store and into an alley way between two random shops. I spotted a plastic bag behind a dumpster and had Robert retrieve it.

He tied it tightly over his head and quickly stared loosing air.

I flicked my wand and his hands were bound along with his feet and I lifted the curse.

Robert started desperately fighting for it and I could see his frightened expression through the bag.

After a couple more long moments, he stopped moving and breathing.

I smiled. Another one bites the dust.

"This fucking cabinet is going to be the death of me," said Draco said as he kicked it.

"I will be the one to give you death if you don't fix," I said simply from the chair I was sitting in.

"You could help me you know," he said.

"This is your task. I already completed mine."

"Did you have to kill him?"

I looked at him like he had grown another head.

"Yes, Draco. I did. That's what the Dark Lord ordered."

He sighed, defeated and went back to the cabinet just to ask another question two seconds later.

"What if someone finds out?"

I threw my head back and groaned, "They won't! Merlin's beard, fix the damn cabinet so he won't feed you to the dogs and I mean that quite literally!"

"But—"

"Fix it!"

"Issa—"

"Fix the cabinet!"

"Wh—"

"Fix it Draco Lucius Malfoy or so help me I will hex you into next year!"

Draco flinched and ignored me until he was finished for the day.

We walked silently to our common room but before I let him enter, I stopped in front of him and opened my arms.

He rose an eyebrow and I said, "I know you don't approve of my life choice but I can't go back now and I don't know that I would if I could. I just don't want it to affect us. I think of you as a...um..."

Draco just stared at me and I never finished my sentence. My cheeks became red as I turned quickly and walked up to my dorm.
