A few months pass by relatively uninterrupted. We had spoken to Dumbledore the night after the Dementor appeared at the school and he had told us he would sort it. I believed him, since there hadn't been an attack since. I walk along the corridors of the school, hearing someone talking rather loudly. I frown and stop moving trying to get a better listen.

"You know what you have to do Draco... You're the chosen one." I hear the voice say and I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up. "I know Sir. I know. I have to kill Dumbledore." I hear Draco say and I close my eyes. Voldemort praises Draco before giving him more instructions. "If anyone gets in your way, you must stop them do you understand? Including that brother of yours. No excuses. We have to free this world of the half-bloods and muggle-born so we can rain superior Draco." He tells Draco who agrees with him. They talk for awhile longer before Voldemort leaves. I peer through the door and see Draco leaning against the wall. I walk into the room and close the door behind me. He looks up and his face drops. "Why are you here?" He asks and I walk closer. "I heard what he told you Draco." I tell him as I stand in front of him. His body tenses up and he stands straight. "I have to do it Onyx. It's my destiny. I was the chosen one." Draco tells me and I shake my head. "No Draco, you don't. You don't have to do anything. When this started you were a child. You had no say, you have a say now. You can make the choice!" I plead with him and he shakes his head. "I can't. I have too. But you need to leave. Get your friends out of here. It's going to be too dangerous for you to stop." He tells me and I shake my head. "I can't leave Draco. You know that. I can't leave, this is our home." I tell him and he sighs. "Go, Onyx." He tells me and I nod quickly leaving the room and running to Dumbledore's office. I bang on the door waiting for him to call me in.

"Onyx? What's the matter?" He asks me as he sees me. "Sir you need to evacuate the school." I tell him quickly trying to catch my breath. "Voldemort is planning to attack the school to kill Harry and take over. It's not safe here." I tell him and he faces me. "How do you know?" He asks me. I run a hand through my hair. "He was here, just now. I heard him talking to Draco down in the basement. You need to believe me on this. A war will start and these kids can't protect themselves." I plead with him and he nods. "I'll take care of it. Go to your dorm room." He tells me and I rub my face. "I want to help you." I tell him seriously. "You're too young to fight Onyx, you're only 17." He tells me and I shake my head. "I've been through enough fighting. I'm not leaving. I've had curses whispered at me, I've been turned into a Death Eater, I've been flung from a balcony, I've fought a cannibalistic spider. I need to fight." I tell him and he nods. "Tell Harry to meet us in the Shrieking Shack." He tells me and I nod, running to the Gryffindor Common Room.

I bang on the door looking around waiting for someone to answer. The door flings open and I see Hermione. "Onyx?" She asks concerned as I walk in. "Where's Harry and Ron?" I ask her looking around for them. "Onyx, what's going on?" She asks me. "Where are they?" I ask. They walk out of the dorm rooms and see me, confused. "What's going on?" Harry says and I turn to him. "We need to go, now." I tell him and he crosses his arms. "Why and where too?" He asks leaning against the door. "To the shrieking shack, all of us. Voldemort is going to attack the school." I tell him and his arms drop, Hermione gasps covering her mouth. "How do you know?" He asks me and I run a hand through my hair. "I heard him talking to Draco this morning. He was already here. He's going to attack the school soon to kill you Harry. I spoke to Dumbledore about it. He told me to get you and meet him at the shack. He's going to evacuate everyone else and get them sent home. Anyone under 17 has to leave." I tell him and he nodd. "We need to go." I tell Harry and he nods. They all grab their wands and we run out of the castle. As we run along the corridors I see Issac walk towards us. "Babe? What's going on?" He asks me and I stop. "You need to pack your stuff and go. This place isnt safe anymore." I tell him cupping his cheek. "What about you?" He asks and I shake my head. "I have to stay and fight. You need to go." I tell him and he shakes his head. "Im not leaving without you." Issac tells me and I sigh. I nod and we run towards the shrieking shack.
