Destiny- Drinny

63- Stay or Go

This book is a bit longer than my last as I made a impulse decision to change my plot slightly- I have no idea why but I did:)

A little bad language in this one x

Hope you enjoy reading! Xx

Standing in the eire Great Hall, made Draco shiver in discomfort.

He could see Snape's eyes twitching as he scanned over the extensive rows of glum school children- trying to spot the jet black hair of Harry Potter. Draco knew he was here- probably with Ginny or Neville- and was secretly counting down the seconds till he would reveal himself, and the battle would begin.

He looked over to the Griffindor isle, and observed his girlfriend. She stood stiff- her shoulders tight and posture stiff as she stood, trying to stop her shifting of weight from foot to foot. Her mouth twitched as she anxiously bit the inside of her lip- a constant habit Draco noticed Ginny had, every time she was worried.

To anyone else, Ginny would have looked perfectly normal- but to Draco... he knew her. He knew her too well to look over the little things- like everyone else. Draco made a mental note to make sure to talk to Ginny before the fighting began. He had so much to say and not enough time to say it. If he wouldn't make it- if Ginny... he had to speak to her before it was too late.

Turning his attention towards the Headmaster, as he began talking.

"I am sure many of you are wondering why I have summoned you at this hour. It has come to my attention, that Harry Potter has been seen in Hogsmade." The entire hall erupted in hushed whispers of excitement, which were soon ended by Snape's stern tone, "If anyone knows his whereabouts, and fails for come forward- they shall be punished. Severely. Further more, if anybody- student or staff- attempts to aid Mr Potter, the result shall be grim indeed." As he walked down the steps and walked down the isle, The Carrows took his place at the front- Amycus looking rather put out. Continuing his speech as he walked, Snape said, "If anyone knows any information regarding Mr Potter, speak... Now."

A beat of silence passed, before a body moved from the crowd, and made its way to the open.

"It seems, that against your exhausting defence strategies, you have abit I'd a defence problem headmaster." Harry spoke, "How date you stand where he stood."

Infuriated, but barely showing it, Snape pulled out his wand, aiming it at Harry, causing gasps to be heard. McGonagall quickly stood in front of Harry, defending him as she pointed her wand at Snape. Flicking it, she sent sparks of flames towards him, pushing him back towards the giant stain glass windows.

Conjuring a larger flame, Snape couldn't control it, and pushed it to the side, causing the Carrows to suffer the blow. Knowing he wouldn't win the fight, he jumped into his black mist form, crashing through the windows to escape.

Upon his exit, McGonagall lit the lights, as children cheered, gleefully.

A ball of white light silenced the celebration, and a intimidating, creepy voice spoke.

"Bring me Harry Potter and you shall be rewarded. Those who fail to do so shall be killed. Bring me Harry Potter and you shall be honoured by all." It spoke, as the small light vanished.

"We'll go on children." Sneered the voice of Amycus, as Alecto nodded speaking.

"How could you look over such an honour? I thought you know what happens when you disobey us?" She sneered.

Infuriated, Ginny stepped out, raising her wand, and stood besides McGonagall, looking every bit as dangerous as she felt.

"Your views are twisted and turned. The respect for you is non-existence. Your death shall be without honour." She declared, killing the sister with a swish of her wand.
