I Know You Fancy Me ||D.M.||

Part 104

Walking through the halls I hear footsteps behind me. I stop to turn around and the footsteps stop too. I turn but there is no one. Maybe Peeves trying to scare me again. I keep walking but keep hearing the footsteps, I choose to ignore it. I get to the Great Hall, Hermione and Ron already are sitting at our usual spot. I walk up to them and sit next to Ron. "How is he?" "He is doing alright, Draco did hit him hard but he is fine." I tell them. "Good." Ron replies, and start to eat again. "He never stops eating does he?" I laugh at Hermione. Who shakes her head, laughing. "By the way, still nothing from Harry?" "No nothing, I reckon he will be back soon." Hermione replies. I shrug and take a bite of my apple. A green apple, Draco. I turn around, but he is not here, the feast is already in full swing and Draco is still not here, is he alright? "What is wrong?" "Draco isn't here, he never misses a meal. He was in the hospital earlier, with Fred. Then when I got there he quickly left for his room, I thought he would be here for dinner at least." "Did he say something weird, or did he act weird?" I shake my head. "Well, I don't know, maybe he just wasn't hungry." Hermione says and goes back to eating. After the feast I go back to my room. "Hey are you ok?" Hermione asks while walking behind me. "Yes, I am. Just tired, and I need to study." I reply, "Ok, well I am going to the library to study, want to come with me then?" "No, thank you I am going to study in our room." "Suit yourself." she says and walks towards the library. I get to my dorm and start studying. After a while I fall asleep behind my desk. When I wake up it is dark out, and Hermione is already in her bed. I get up from my desk and go for a walk through the castle. I know it is after hours, but I don't really care. Then I see Draco, I want to shout his name, but he seems so lost in his thoughts I decide it is better not to. He walks past the stairs to the dungeons, so he isn't going to his room. What is he up to?  I follow him as he walks through the halls. He walks towards the Astronomy Tower. I follow him up the stairs as quietly as possible. I hide a floor bellow the top, and Harry is standing there. "What are you doing here?" he asks. I hug him "Where have you been?" I ask him "Now is not the time, what are you doing here?" "I followed Draco, what is he doing here?" he shrugs. I can see Draco and Dumbledore, stand on the floor above us, through the floor panels. Draco is holding his wand out and points it to Dumbledore. "Good evening, Draco." he says calmly "What brings you here on this fine spring evening?" "Who else is here? I heard you talking." "I often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. Have you been whispering to yourself, Draco? Draco, you are no assasin." "How do you know what I am?" Draco asks him in fear, "What is he going to do?" I whisper to Harry, who puts his hand over my mouth to shut me up. "I've done things that would shock you." "Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that in return she'd bear a cursed necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Forgive me, Draco. I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak that your heart can't really have been in them." "He trusts me. I was chosen." Draco replies and lifts up his slave aggressively to show his Dark Mark. Which shocks Dumbledore and Harry, but I stay calm. "You knew?" Harry whispers in disbelief. I nod, feeling bloody guilty. "Then I shall make it easy for you." Dumbledore says and takes out his wand. "Expelliarmus!" Draco says and Dumbledore's wand flies out his hand. Harry takes his wand out but I quickly grab his arm "Don't" I whisper but he ignores me and keeps his wand pointed to Draco. Draco is shaking, he does not want to do this, I can tell. "Very good. Very good." Dumbledore says and then there is the sound of a door opening. "You're not alone. There are others." Dumbledore states. "How?" "The vanishing cabinet in the Room of Requirement. I've been mending it." Draco tells him, shocking me, so that is where he went earlier this week and when we were dating? To the Room of Requirement to mend a vanishing cabinet, so Death Eaters can get in to Hogwarts? "Let me guess. It has a sister. A twin." Dumbledore says, Harry and I walk back slightly to be out of side. "In Borgin and Burkes. They form a passage." "Ingenious. Draco, years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help." "I don't want your help! Don't you understand? I have to do this. I have to kill you. Or he's gonna kill me." Draco breaks down. I gasp, but Harry puts his hand over my mouth again and holds me, tears form in my eyes and stream down my cheeks. He isn't really going to kill him right? He is better then that. I try to sob as quietly as I can, knowing that there are Death Eaters on their way up. Then Bellatrix and other Death Eaters walk onto the floor above me and Harry. "Well, look what we have here." Bellatrix says "Well done, Draco." she whispers in his ear standing behind him. I want to scream for her to leave him alone but Harry holds me tight so I can't move. "Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order, don't you?" Dumbledore speaks, calmly. How is he so calm right now? He knows he is going to die. "Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're all on a bit of a tight schedule." she says and turns to Draco "Do it."
