Absquatulate- To leave without saying goodbye

6

,,Draco!" I shouted, knowing that if he didn't come down right about now you would miss the train. ,,I am coming" he screams running down the stairs. I took his hand and we apparated to the train station. Our parents were gone for a business trip. We quickly walked to the Slytherin compartments and found Blaise, Pansy and Miles sitting in one of them. A slight smile hushed over my lips as I sat down next to Miles. ,,Malfoy" Miles greeted me ,, Bletchley" I greeted back. We decided to not tell anybody about whatever we are yet. Surprisingly the train ride went by pretty quickly and without any unpleasant surprises.

I sigh as I finally fall into my bed in my dorm room. It doesn't take long tho, until I hear somebody knock. As I open the door, Miles bursts through and slam shuts the door. Next thing I know is that I am pinned up against a wall and he kisses me passionately. As he pulls away, we stay really close together for a while. ,,I wanted to do that ever since you got on the train" he whispered into my neck. ,,Me too!" I giggle, as he leaves a dark bruise on my neck. ,,Meet me on the dock of the black lake tomorrow 5am." He whisper-shouted as he swiftly got out of my dorm. Once the door fell into its lock, I slid down the wall and grinned from one ear to the other.

It was way to early for me to be awake, but I still made my way to the black lake. It was freezing cold which is why I wore one of Miles quidditch hoodies and some thick sweatpants. My hair was up in a messy bun and I didn't bother taking my contacts in. As I approached the dock, I could see candles through the fog. My heart started beating a tiny bit faster and finally I feel someone embracing me from behind, leading me to the candles.

,,Celestia Narcissa Malfoy, I love you." As he said these three words a shiver went down my spine ,, And I wanted to ask you if you would officially be my girlfriend?" I turned around, an exited smile on my face ,,Yes Miles, yes obviously." In that moment my world felt okay, I felt save and happy. I didn't care, but moments later I felt naive, for allowing myself to have feelings during a time like this. I did not have the energy to maintain a relationship, yet I didn't want things to stop, it felt like he just drew me in and I had no chance to escape.

I was pacing up and down my room, nervous about everything I would do tomorrow. My wand laid on my bed and every time I looked at it, I got the urge to break it. Yet I know that my life, actually no, my brother's life, depended on killing someone and I can't kill someone with my bare hands. As I sat on my couch tapping my foot up and down, I went over my plan a million times. Tomorrow death eaters would enter the school and I would have to kill Dumbledore.

I was wearing all black as I knocked on Blentleys dorm, at 5am. He opens up sleepily and looks at me questioning. ,,Don't leave the common room today. Don't, under no circumstance. Do you understand that?" I say urgently. ,,Why?" ,,It doesn't matter. Just please, please don't." He sticked out his pinky and I locked mine with his. I sighed ,,Thank you." And quickly pecked his lips.

Draco made sure the Death eaters came into school, while I walked up the stairs to the astronomy tower. I heared Dumbledore talking. I got out my wand and pointed it at him once he was in sight. ,,Who else is here?" I asked sternly. ,,No one besides me, I like talking to myself." My hand shook as Dumbledore continued ,, I know why you are here. Let me help you Celestia." ,,Oh" I laughed out ,,Help me. ME?" He nodded ,, Celestia you are no assassin."

,,Don't you understand? I have to do this, I have to kill you, or he is going to kill my brother." I cried out. Suddenly I hear someone come up the stairs. ,,I see you brought company." Dumbledore said. ,,How?" and so I told him about the Cabinet Draco's been mending. Once I was done Bellatrix, Draco and a few other death eaters were there now too. ,,Do it Celestia. You said you had the guts to do so, unlike your brother." ,,I-" I stuttered. Bellatrix, mind you, Draco's and my aunt, grabbed Draco roughly and points her wand at his neck. Then she yelled ,,Crucio." My brother fell to the ground screaming in agony. ,,Stop, I am doing it, I am doing it, now!" I screamed. And Bellatrix stopped. I looked at Dumbledore's face and he nodded. He simply nodded, oh how angry it made me how calm he still was. ,,Ava-" I say ,,Avada kedavra!" then comes out of my mouth. Green light comes out of my wand and Dumbledore falls back, off of the tower. My mouth parted and my ears rung. I heard Bellatrix laugh and I slowly turned around. Sinking next to Draco on the ground. He was unconscious. I put his head in my lap and ran my hand over his face. I talked to him desperately, lying ,,Its fine Dray, we are going to be ok. Come on you can do it." He opened his eyes slowly and I helped him stand up. Him and I cried now, silently. The other death eaters left, while Draco and I clinged to each other like our life was at stake. But that's when I realized. Our life's actually were at stake. We apparated to Malfoy Manor and Narcissa's eyes widen at the sight of us. Draco's and my blood shot eyes, him and I slung in each other's arms, crying in the other ones shoulder. As she walked towards us, trying to hug us, I pull away from Draco and push him behind me. My mothers reaction showed how confused and surprised she was at that reaction. ,,Don't you dare come near us. Letting your children go through all this and justifying it by saying he would kill all of us. Even bloody Lily Potter cared more about her son and even died for him. How could you let us go through all of that by ourselves." I scream while hot tears leave my eyes. ,,Celst-" my mother said, but I cut her off by taking Draco's Hand an apparating to London.
