Harry's POV
Time slowed down. There was a flash, and Lucius appeared onstage. Hermione gasped and I made my way slowly toward Draco. This was how it had to be.
He grabbed her hand and Astoria screamed. I heard the sound of another apparating into the dorm.
Rodolphus Lestrange.
"HERMIONE, NO!" Draco screamed. I took one last look at my fiancée and the empty space where my best friend had been.
The quiet mutter of a spell could be heard, and then the one I was expecting.
"OBLIVIATE"
I grabbed Draco's arm just as another flash showed the disappearance of the death eaters. I crouched to Draco and heaved him up, his eyes dry with fury. I closed my eyes and I disapparated, taking the angry Draco with me. He was essential in this.
Just before we disappeared from the crowd, I heard the whisper of the riddle, which pierced through my ears like shards of glass.
