Be My Hero

Chapter 34

Song of the Chapter : Feeling Good by Michael Bublè

Hero's POV

         Tiny shards of glass rip into the side of my cheek. The room is completely dark. Even though everyone is screaming the sound of the music is piercing my eardrums. I rub my eyes aggressively trying to get my vision back. When I look up to the front of the room I see dozens of death eaters starting towards students. And then I see him.

              I need to find Harry.

             The girls have disappeared and I can't see Draco anywhere. Before two of the death eaters make their way to me I manage to crawl under one of the tables and across the room. Out of the corner of my eye I see Harry next to Hermione and Ron. I join them and tug on Harry's sleeve.

          "You have to get out of here." I say quietly making sure no one else can hear.

             Harry looks at me confused. "What are you on about?"

          I look him dead in the eyes. "Harry, it's Voldemort."

         His eyes grow big while he turns to the front of the room.

                        "He's going to kill you."

            "How do you know all of this, Hero?" Harry asks.

           Speechless, I stare into his eyes. After a few seconds he answers his own question. Ron, Hermione, and Harry look around the room fearful but quickly find their way out.

         "Hero, are you alright?" I jump when I feel someone's hand rest on my shoulder. I turn around and see Draco.

                 "I'm alright, are you?"

        "What happened to your cheek?" He asks while wiping the blood from my face.

                 "Just glass, I'm fine."

          Draco gives me a worried look. I see his mouth open to speak but his eyes look over my head.

             "They can't find Harry." Draco whispers.

         I stay quiet while we watch the death eaters search the room. Students are still screaming and running around like headless animals.

      "What is the meaning of this?" Dumbledore shouts.

         The room goes silent. The Dark Lord turns to the great hall entrance and faces Dumbledore.

               "Where is Harry Potter?" The Dark Lord hisses.

        Dumbledore moves to the middle of the room. "Hogwarts does not welcome you here, Riddle."

Without hesitation The Dark Lord raises his wand and the whole room gasps.

           "Avada Kedavra!"

           Draco pulls me closer to him and I squeeze my eyes shut. Even though I don't see it, I hear the sound of Dumbledore's body fall to the floor. Everyone's screams bounce off the walls. After one last search through Hogwarts The Dark Lord vanishes.

Draco's POV

         Death eaters are guarding each door of the school. No one can come in or out unless told otherwise. For example, The Dark Lord has called a meeting with the rest of the death eaters. Meaning Hero and I are on our way to Malfoy Manor now.
