●Y/N's POV●

I hear Draco calling for help, whilst I struggle to stay awake. "Malfoy!" I hear Fred's voice. "Weasley! Help her! She's not okay! Her eyes changed colour and this black mark is all over her breastplate!" Draco says.

I feel a pair of cold, but gentle, hands pulling the neck of my sweater and a gasp follows. "Is that all that happened?" Fred asks.

"Yes! She was fine the seconds before this happens!" Draco answers, his voice revealing a bit of anger.

I look over their heads and try to talk but no voice comes out. I focus all my power to scream, but a weak whisper comes out; "Death Eater.". Draco's eyes go wide. Panic crosses his face and looks Fred.

"Where?" Fred asks, panicked. I point behind them. Draco takes a deep breath. "Take her somewhere safe." he says at Fred with a determined look on his face. "Draco, no." I moan.

Draco takes out his wand, right when Fred turns around the corner and my vision gets blocked by the wall. "Don't worry, Y/N. You'll be fine-" Fred's interrupted by a musculine voice.

"Locomotor Mortis!" and Fred falls to the floor with a groan. He manages, however, to land first and stop me from falling on the floor.

I tittle my head a little, to see the same Death Eater that shot me earlier, causing me to have this awful pain in my chest, right before we leave the Great Hall.

Fred rises up to his feet and takes out his wand. "Expelliarmus!" Fred yells. "Beginning before bowing? I like this one. Too bad that I have to kill you." the Death Eater says, after avoiding Fred's attack.

They begin duelling and the Death Eater shoots the Unforgivable Curse at him. The curse flies towards him in slow motion, whilst my necklace shines on its Red line.

"No." I whisper determined to myself. I get up to my feet and stand in front of Fred. I know that people say that you can't block the most Unforgivable Curse, so I'll get hit instead of him.

I walk quickly in front of Fred, as everything still moves slowly. I feel my eyes burn, but I don't blink. My H/C locks are on my shoulders, as I watch the curse coming nearer by the second.

The light from my necklace gets stronger, causing me to close my eyes. The curse never comes and the light fades completely. I open my eyes and see the Death Eater looking at me wide-eyed.

"Y/N! What were you thinking!?" Fred yells at me. I take out my wand. "Incendio!" I yell and a hungry fire swallows the Death Eater. I watch him as he gets burned alive, screaming in pain for mercy.

He dies after a couple of seconds and I turn to Fred. "Y/N.." he begins to talk, but he's speechless. I point my wand at him, not thinking what I'm doing at all. His eyes go wide and he trips, his feet still glued together.

"What are you doing?! Y/N?" Fred says, struggling to get away from me, while on the floor. "Y/N, Y/N. You have to listen to me! It's me, Fred!" he begs.

I think for a painful curse, that will bring death afterwards. I hear steps from behind me, but ignore them, as I open my mouth; "Furnun--" I get interrupted, by a pair of hands shaking me. "Y/N! Stop it! You have to listen!" Draco says.

My eyes fall on him. He gets paler and swallows. He suddenly hugs me, and I breathe in, as if I managed to swim up to the Lake's surface, before get chocked.

My eyes remain wide and Draco pulls back and looks in them. "I'm sorry!" I say and hug him quickly but tight.

I run to Fred, uncast the curse that keep his legs glued together and fall on him. "I'm sorry, Freddie!" I sob on his shirt. "It's alright. It wasn't you." Fred mumbles.

"Do you still have the mark on you?" Draco asks me. I look inside my shirt and see a Mark of a Rotten Skull. I gasp, as my eyes widen. "What is this?!" I ask, panic dominating me.

"I don't know. We have to get you to Dumbledore." He responds. I quickly get up and pull Fred by the hand to help him.

I take Draco's hand and pull him along with me and Fred. "Why are you taking me with you?" Draco asks, sweat forming on his forehead.

I give him a meaningful look and he looks down. We reach the statue again and, without thinking, I whisper the password.

The three of us enter and the door closes behind us on its own. "Professor Dumbledore." I say, alerting him. He looks at us. "What is it Y/N?" he says with a friendly smile.

"I think I became some sort of a Death Eater." I tell him seriously. "What do you mean?" he asks, furrowing his eyebrows. "Show him." Fred whispers, leaning on me a bit.

I pull the collar of my shirt downwards, so the skull is noticeable. He looks at it for a few seconds, a faraway look on his face.

"How did this happen?" he asks. Fred and I fill him in with the whole scenario. Draco joins in the end, mentioning that the Mark started forming minutes before my eyes turn into a faded E/C.

He thinks for a while, connecting his hand behind his waist. "Mister Weasley, Mister Malfoy, if you please give us a little privacy?" he requests kindly.

They both nod and exit the door. "Y/N, did you kill that Death Eater?" he asks seriously. I hesitate and feel my cheeks heat up, as disappointment and embarrassment dominate me.

"Yes." I say, looking to my feet.

"Mysterious thing, Time.
Powerful and when meddled with, Dangerous."

Dumbledore tells me and places a hand on my shoulder. I think about the Time Turner; it can fix everything. "Be careful. The future is on your hands."

I nod and smile at him. I exit and face Draco right outside. He was talking with Fred before they hear the door open. I look inside Draco's grey orbs.

I place a hand on his shoulder and smile at him, saying;

"Time to rewrite history."
