A/N trying something new, let me know if you like it
Draco's POV
Standing in the courtyard, my school burning around me, I felt like crying. Everyone was standing around the edge of the courtyard, doing nothing.
Voldemort had his wand pointed towards Harry.
* * *
I felt so guilty after joining my parents. I had thought Harry was dead. That there was no point in fighting anymore. But then he jumped from Hagrid's arms. I wanted to run to him, but my parents held me back.
I had so much hope, but then Voldemort grabbed Harry by the back of the neck. With a death-grip, he held Harry in one hand and held his wand to his head with the other.
* * *
My heart dropped when the Dark Lord beckoned me over. I felt Father push me towards Voldemort. I stumbled towards him, feeling my whole body shake. I met Harry's eyes and that's when hot tears fell down my cheeks.
Voldemort took my arm and pulled me closer. He snarled down at me.
"You have your wand, I assume?" he hissed.
I nodded, more tears falling down my face.
He turned me to face Harry and my pulse quickened.
I was aware that Voldemort's wand was now pointed at me.
"Hurt him." he demanded. "Hurt him to the brink of death and leave the finishing blow to me. You should be honored."
A/N this is the new idea. Read 1 for a sad ending and read 2 for a happy one.
One
I felt terrified. If I refused, I would be killed. But I couldn't hurt Harry. I couldn't help Voldemort kill him.
I squeezed my eyes shut and raised my hand to make my wand point at Harry.
"Cruci..." I stopped. I can't do this, I thought.
"Septum... um... Septum S-s-semp..." my voice shook.
I can't hurt Harry and I will not let this monster kill me. I thought. I took a deep breath.
This is for you, Harry...
I turned the wand to face myself and yelled at the top of my lungs: "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Two
Sweat ran down my forehead as I began to raise my wand.
"I can't." I whispered.
"You can and will, or else I will kill you." Voldemort warned.
I drew in a deep breath. My heart felt as though it would burst through my chest. I felt like vomiting and fainting at the same time.
I was aware that I was sobbing as I began. "Sep- sep..."
I was cut off by a yell. "EXPELLIARMUS!"
The Dark Lord's wand flew from his hand. I turned around in time to see Luna Lovegood, standing tall, her wand pointing toward us.
"Run, you idiots!" She called.
So we ran.
