Draco

"Who wants to know?" Bellatrix snarled.

I quickly looked around me. Dumbledore stood by the window, seeming unfazed by the prospect of death. Snape stood next to me, Yaxley on my other side, Fenrir close to Bellatrix, and the only woman here being pressed to the wall by my secret ally. I nodded internally when I saw that Potter was not present despite the sources who claimed he left with Jackson and Dumbledore.

Percy grinned savagely,"I do, and if anyone tries to attack me, I'll slit your throat."

"You wouldn't." Fenrir growled.

Percy only smirked,"Try me."

Fenrir did. The werewolf leaped forward, but towards Dumbledore who continued to stand there defenseless. Percy's eyes widened, and his arms holding up the offending weapon and witch dropped. The wizard jumped at Fenrir, tackling him to the floor. A pained howl filled the air, and blood seeped through the floor from the wound in his thigh from Percy.

"Next time, I won't miss." Percy hissed.

Bellatrix laughed madly, sending a spell at Percy's back. He didn't even turn around as the spell hit the shield charm formed by Percy. All the death eaters eyes around me widened, with the exception of Snape. I distinctly heard Dumbledore speaking to me, telling me he knew the entire time, but I focused on Percy only.

"You're the Wandless Wizard?" Bellatrix exclaimed.

Percy smirked at her, still holding down Fenrir,"I'm whatever I want to be."

"You're why we cast that Imperius spell, and forced a memory wiping potion on the Walsom boy?" She interrogated nastily.

Percy's eyes narrowed,"I didn't appreciate that."

Bellatrix ignored him, glaring at Snape,"We're bringing him to the Dark Lord."

Percy scoffed,"You can try, Bella-witch."

"My master will have reward us greatly for capturing you. Maybe even more so than Potter." She grinned savagely.

"Draco, don't do this." Dumbledore's voice pleaded with me.

I raised my wand warily,"I have to."

"No." Percy interrupted, seeming unfazed, but I saw the tiredness of his body,"Draco, don't."

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, rolling my wand around my fingers unsteadily,"It's my job, Jackson."

He shook his head at me,"This is bigger than you think, Draco. I'm telling you, you can not kill him."

"How do you know of his mission?" Bellatrix demanded crazily.

His vibrant eyes stared around the room,"I know everything."

"Draco! Kill him, then we'll bring back the Wandless Wizard to interrogate him!" Bellatrix ordered impatiently.

Dumbledore had turned his attention away from me,"Severus... please..."

Snape raised his wand hesitantly,"Avada Kedavra."

The green light shot so fast out of Snape's wand, no one could react. I watched as the headmaster fell in slow motion through the open window. All eyes followed his downfall. Enemies and friends alike crowded around the edge to watch Dumbledore. Suddenly Percy's body went erect in alarm.

"Vaisey!" He shouted.

Before any of us could do anything, he had thrown himself out of the window. I screamed in fear for him, but it needn't be because halfway down, his body disappeared. I saw it reappear further down, near Hagrid's hut. I felt my collar being pulled along, and faintly heard Snape commanding me to get out of the castle.

All of a sudden, it was chaos. Potter was chasing us, Bellatrix was ruining the great hall. Fenrir was trying to tear apart more people from the Order. I didn't look back as I panted for breath, running for the forest. Just as I exited the building, I saw a scene that would forever be imprinted in my mind.

Percy was in mid air, jumping in front of Vaisey who had fallen backwards. Rowle had just finished setting Hagrid's hut aflame, and now sent a killing spell towards the two boyfriends. Both of Percy's cousins were in the area, but they were too far away.

Suddenly, it was like time froze. Professor Roece and Sunday started chanting in a different language. They both glowed in a bright light, and when I looked around me, I was the only one moving besides Percy. The glow around the two hit Percy head on, absorbing into his skin, and entering his mouth, nose, and eyes.

"Good bye, cousin." Professor Roece bid,"We'll be in Olympus recovering from the spell."

"What did you do?" Percy asked frantically.

"Immunity to the three Unforgivable Curses." Professor Sunday answered softly,"We'll see you again though, give it a year."

"What if I'm not alive in a year?" Percy asked nervously.

Professor Roece raised an eyebrow,"You will be. You're our uncle's son."

"Keep in mind the side affects of this spell." Professor Sunday warned, looking at me too,"Killing curse will suck out all the energy from your body. The controlling curse will rob you of your senses. The torture curse will introduce you to any pain you've lived through and come out functioning."

Percy glanced at me unsurely,"What does Draco have to do with this?"

Both professors looked at Percy solemnly, Professor Sunday replying lowly,"A tough future is ahead where Draco will have to protect you. He needs to know the side affects as well."

"May Tyche be with you, Perseus." Professor Roece wished.

Time unfroze, and both cousins were hit simultaneously with killing spells. They came from no where, so I assumed they were fake, but by the way everyone reacted around me, they looked real. Milliseconds later, Percy was hit in the shoulder by the killing curse.

"Percy!" Vaisey screamed.

I ran towards my frenemy. Vaisey ignored me, kneeling next to his boyfriend. Snape was at my heels, worry hidden in his eyes. We turned Percy over so his chest was facing the air. Both Vaisey's and Snape's eyes widening as they saw the steady movement of Percy's diaphragm. His body slumped over, but his body still functioning. I got knocked out of the way as Bellatrix forced her way through us.

"He's alive." She gasped softly.

She pulled back his shirt to where he was hit with the curse. On the front of his shoulder  was a brand of a trident. It glowed a faint green, sizzling from the heat of the spell. Bellatrix's eyes narrowed and Vaisey was suddenly thrown by nothing into Hagrids flaming cabin.

In an instant, Jackson was awake rolling over onto his stomach and thrusting his hand out. Water erupted from his palm, dousing the cabin in the cool liquid. Before he could finish, he was grabbed by several death eaters on Bellatrix' orders, and hauled to the edge of the forest. His head slumped forward, and he fell unconscious from the lack of energy. I turned back around to my old home, sending my last goodbye.

"Farewell to all, and to all a good night."
