The Prewett Girl

22) Dumbledore

"It's ready," Draco whispers, "It's happening tonight." I clasp my hands together and try not to cry. I'm not ready, I know that Dumbledore says he has a plan but what if he fails? What if we have to kill him.

"I have to warn the others," my voice quivers and Draco firmly shakes his head.

"Nila, you can't." He begs his eyes wide. I just shake my head, I've made my mind up already and he knows he can't argue with me, "fine, just, don't leave now," he begs. I smirk and cuddle up towards him, he wraps his strong arms around me and I sigh burying my head into his chest.

He turns his head just so and plants a warm kiss on my lips. I softly kiss him back and the kiss intensifies. His tongue slides in between my teeth and I respond by happily breaking our kiss to stradle his lap. His hands travel down my waist and play with the hem of my shirt. I assist him to remove it and my cold skin meets his warm skin with a pleased moan as he takes his off as well.

My hands hover at the zipper of his pants and he nods slightly. I unzip him and he's just in his underwear. We resume the kissing and he wants heavily sliding hot kisses down my neck and to my chest.

I walk out of the common room and into the library where I asked Hermione, Ron, and Harry to meet me. My heart pounds against my heart and all I can think is Dumbledore.

Dumbledore has a plan, Dumbledore can't die, Dumbledore won't die.

My breaths quickens and I walk into the library to see the others waiting at a table chatting nonchalantly.

Hermione waves me over, "Nila, guess where Harry is going tonight?" Harry grins but looks a little nervous. I look at Ron and he smiles at me.

"Uhum," I clear my throat, "um, where is Harry going?"

"Dumbledore is taking me to find a horcrux," Harry whispers intensely. My heart drops, he had been talking about going with Dumbledore but I didn't know it would be tonight. Did he really have to choose tonight? It's like Dumbledore knows, but if course he knows, it must be part of his plan.

"Shoot," I mumble and they look at my quizzically, "I have bad news." 

They were furious to say the least. Harry's rage I am used to but Hermione and Ron were usually fairly level-headed when it came to my decisions was frightening and quite surprising.

Harry is not one for level-headedness.

After I told them how I had talked to Dumbledore and Dumbledore said he and Snape had already constructed a plan Hermione and Ron calmed down a bit. A bit. Harry was still boiling and the other two were still fairly mad at me for helping Draco in the first place. And hiding the fact that he's a death eater.

They don't know I'm a death eater.

I fear poor Harry would explode.

Draco and I stand by the cabinet holding hands. Draco whispers the spell and holds my hand tightly. Before the other death eaters can come through the cabinet Draco pulls my hand and leads me out of the Room of Requirement. I hear the death eaters following us and sudden shouts fill the air and I see Ginny and Ron casting spells towards us. I pull out my instant darkness powder and throw it. I can't let them hurt my friends.

Draco pulls out his hand of glory and I blindly follow him up to the Astronomy tower. I pray Harry isn't there and Dumbledore is alone, I pray that Dumbledore knows what he's doing. I pray he won't die. Draco and I dash up the stairs hoping to get there before the other death eaters. We enter the platform and I see Dumbledore.

Dumbledore all alone.

Dumbledore.

Draco raises his arm and disarms Dumbledore. Dumbledore looks solemn, not scared, just sad.

"Draco, Nila, you don't have to do this," he whispers.

What are you playing at Dumbledore, you said you have a plan?

"Yes we do, I'm chosen, he chose us," I can see tears in Draco's eyes. Hurry Dumbledore, don't make us do this. Dumbledore responds but I don't hear him. I just remembered my mother, Marlene, I just met her, after this I won't be able to come back. God, please Dumbledore, you better have a plan. The door flies open and Bellatrix enters with a horde of death eaters. Fenrir Greyback is there, he has blood on his lips.

An image of my friends dead bodies flash in my eyes, please say he didn't bite anyone. Dumbledore please hurry, people may die tonight.

"Do it Draco," Bellatrix hisses. Draco's wand falters up and down, he doesn't want to do this. Dumbledore, please. Dumbledore is biding time, talking. Snape enters, good. Snape is part of the plan, Snape will save Dumbledore.

"Severus, please." Dumbledore gasps, Snape steps forward. Please, there must be a plan, Dumbledore can't die. I feel tears in my eyes. Snape points his wand at Dumbledore, why is Snape pointing his wand at Dumbledore?

"Avada Kedavra." Snape casts the spell and Dumbledore falls gracefully from the tower.

No.

There was supposed to be a plan.

Was this the plan?

Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is dead.

Draco grabs my hand and drags me from the tower.

He's crying.

So am I.

We exit the castle. I hear Harry scream.

A heart-wrenching scream. He's running after us, a look of betrayal in his eyes.

"Snape, you coward!" He's shouting, Draco grabs my hand and prepares to apparate away, "he trusted you! You were supposed to be his friend!" Draco spins us away into oblivion.

Yes, Snape, there was supposed to be a plan.

I trusted you.

Thank you so much for reading!

It's been so much fun to write this story - It's my first on Wattpad. 

I have also been working on another story that is non-Harry Potter related. It's called Lost. It's basically about four friends that find out a terrifying truth about a disaster to come and decide that they have to help stop it. It is a romance and adventure and it will have a lot of intense scenes so go read! 

My main focus will be on this story and once I finish it I will shift to the other story.
