My Legacy as a Mikaelson

Chapter 10

I hug him so tightly.

"Guess you do like my after all?" He laughs.

"Don't flatter yourself." I say as i'm wiping my tears.

  "Before we be all happy and stuff, I have to tell you something. It's important."

  "Um alight go ahead."

  He raises his arm and pulls up his sleeve.

  "This, is the Dark Mark. It's a symbol of the Dark Lord. He is a powerful wizard and will kill anyone who gets in his way. He...well..." He stutters.

  "You can tell me, I won't judge."

  "He...ordered me to kill Dumbledore. If I don't he's going to kill me." He says and a single tear fell down his cheek.

  "I'm sorry." I say softly.

  "I just...my deadline is in a few days. I can't let him down."

"But you don't have the gut." I interrupt.

"It's a not a normal thing to kill people around here." He blurts out.

"Well lucky for you, your girlfriend doesn't have a conscience."

"So your my girlfriend now?" He teases.

"Shut up." I say and roll my eyes.

  We started dating from then. It was great, most of the time. Anyways we had been working on a plan. He was fixing the vanishing cabinet. So I guess I was working on a plan. Nevertheless I knew exactly what we would do.

  The day of Malfoy's deadline we went to classes as usual.

  As we exit potions Malfoy and I head in the other direction of the other students. I knew Dumbledore would be at the astronomy tower.

  I heard voices at the top, I thought he would be alone.

  "Wait." I whisper and grab his arm.

  "What?!" He whispers back.

  "I hear voices, someone else is here."

  "I don't hear anything?" He questions me.

  "Well you don't have vamp hearing so wait."

  He comes back down the stairs and waits for my command.

  "So you got the plan?" I ask him.

  "Yeah, you wait under the second set of stairs till you hear me say, I have to kill you. Then you come up and kill him before the death eaters get here."

"Finally you know something." I say.

"Don't test me." He says annoyed.

"Shh...Your clear go!" I whisper.

Malfoy and I head up the stairs, I slide underneath the floor whilst he goes to the top.

I'm looking up and I walk backwards following Malfoy. When suddenly I back into something.

"Harry?!" I whisper.

"Madi?!" He almost yells but keeps it quiet.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him.

"I was talking with Dumbledore when he heard something and told me to hide. What are you doing?"

"I...um...I was i'm sorry I can't think of an excuse so please don't ask."
