the return of the pack

~Draco Malfoy~

'It's almost time'

I hear a whisper tell me. I turn around very slowly to see Josie standing there dressed in a all black dress with sleeves that had lace.

'I know'

I turn back around to face the vanishing cabinet. I turn to face the clock striking the time I was not ready for. I go over to it and pull down the white sheet that was covering it now exposing the cabinet.

It starts to open slowly, black smoke emerging out of it.

I start to back up now facing Josie and she nods. We walk out of the room of requirement and walk in the corridors going into the direction of the astronomy tower.

Josie gave me a slight nod for a bit of reassurance. I take a deep breath and exhale as I grab my wand and slowly walk up the stairs of the astronomy tower. Josie walking right behind me as I hear her footsteps trail just right behind me.

I walk up towards the last step and bring my wand upwards facing me. I stop in my trail as does Josie as she walks up the last step as well, the creaking of the step following alongside her trail.

I face the man that I now have to kill. The one I truly don't want to believe must die at my hands

'Good evening Draco and Josie. What brings you both here on this fine spring evening?'

'who else is here? I heard you talking'

I reply back, stumbling and stuttering at my own words.

'I've been talking aloud to myself, I find it extraordinarily useful. Have you been whispering to yourself draco?'

He pauses his speaking as he looks at me with empty emotions practically written all over his face.

'Draco. You are no assassin.'

'How do you know what I am? I've done things that would shock you'

I heavily breathe out that sentence.

'Like cursing Katie Bell in hoping in return she bare a curse necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Forgive me I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak they should heart can't really opinion you'

At this point this man knew everything, and I have just realized that. I was violently shaking as I let out a shaky yet unsteady voice as I began to continue to speak.

'He trusts me. I was chosen!'

Once I let out that last statement I lift up my left arm to reveal the dark mark.

A mark that represented everything I stood against. A mark that was forced upon me. A mark that marked me as one of them.

I face back up towards Dumbledore, looking at his straight in the eye.

A man that watched me grow up from an eleven year old child, to a soon to be teenage murder.

'I shall make it easy for you'

He says as he takes out his wand and I am quick to say back.

'Expelliarmus'

Making my wand let out a charm, disarming him from his wand letting it fall out to the side.

'Very good. Very good.'

The doors open taking my attention off of dumbledore for a second as he spoke.

'Your'e not alone? There are others'

I turn my attention back towards him keeping my wand pointed and raised at his direction.
