20.

Months have past. I stopped seeing Draco and Blaise. I didn't trust them anymore. I went back to my friends in my house Gryffindor.

Many things have happened since I've returned to Hogwarts. I saw everything in a different light now.

But the important thing right now is finding Voldemort's horcruxes and destroying them.

Dumbledore has been doing so and now he's gotten Harry to help him. They have already left.

Ever since the sky have grown darker.

Something is going to happen. I don't know what but I know it's something...something big.

-

I crashed into Harry below the top floor of the astronomy tower.

"Anna? What are you doing here?" He whispered harshly to me. I covered his mouth and his us behind a pillar as someone walked up the stairs.

"I had a dream that something horrible happened here." I whispered.

"What. What was it?" He asked me. I shushed him as Dumbledore began speaking.

"Good evening, Draco. What brings you here on this fine spring evening?" 

"Who else is here? I heard you talking." Draco snapped.

"I often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. Have you been whispering to yourself, Draco?" We moved so we could see Dumbledore from below. "Draco...you are no assassin."

"How do you know what I am? I've done things that would shock you." Draco snapped.

But I saw past that....he sounded scared, genuinely scared.

"Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that in return she'd bear a cursed necklace to me? Replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Or getting close to Annabelle and in hopes to brainwash her to get her to join the Death Eaters? Forgive me, Draco. I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak..your heart can't really have been in them." I let out a small shaky breath.

"He trusts me. I was chosen."

"Then I shall make it easy for you." Dumbledore said pulling out his wand.

"Expelliarmus." Draco quickly said. I myself and Harry pulled out our wands,having them ready.

"Very good. Very good." He said. As I was holding my wand I saw Draco's hand shaking. He was scared. I heard the door open then close again.

"You're not alone. There are others. How?" Dumbledore asked astonished.

"The vanishing cabinet in the Room of Requirement. I've been mending it." Draco told him. I felt Harry grab my hand and pulled me back with him.

"Let me guess. It has a sister. A twin."

"In Borgin and Burkes. They form a passage."

"Ingenious." Dumbledore quietly exclaimed."Draco years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you."

"I don't want your help." Draco yelled. "Don't you understand? I have to do this. I have to kill you. Or He's gonna kill me."

Harry pulled me behind the pillar as more footsteps piles up the stairs.

"Well, look what we have here." I instantly recognized that voice. "Well done, Draco."

"Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order, don't you?"

"Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're all on a bit of a tight schedule." She told him. I moved alongside Harry with our wands raised and ready. "Do it."She told Draco.

"He doesn't have the stomach, just like his father. Let me finish him in my own way." Greyback spoke up.

"No." Bellatrix quickly snapped. "The Dark Lord was clear, the boy is to do it." I looked over and Snape stood there with his wand pointed at us. We started to lower our wands. "This is your moment. Do it." Snape lowered his wand and put his finger in front of his lips silently telling us to keep quiet before leaving us. "Now." Bellatrix yelled.

"No." Snape said making his appearance.

"Severus." Dumbledore said. "Please."

"Avada Kedavra." I watched it hit Dumbledore before he fell off the balcony. I opened my mouth but Harry quickly covered my mouth pulling me back as tears fell down my face.

I don't understand. Dumbledore trusted him. I trusted him.

Harry and I waited til they were gone from the tower to leave.

-

We ran after them.

"Snape, he trusted you." Harry yelled. Hagrid's hut then bursted into flames. Once we were close enough Harry shouted a spell which Snape deflected. Bellatrix shot a spells at Harry.

"No. Snape yelled He belongs to the Dark Lord." Snape told Bellatrix who ran off.

"Incarneus" I yelled. Snape deflected it. "Fight back you coward." I yelled before throwing spells at him.

"Enough of this Black before you get hurt." He warned me.

"Glad to know you care." I snapped sarcastically.

"Or even killed." He finished.

"I'm not the one who's going to die. Avada kedavra." I shouted but my wand was raised upwards so the spell went to the sky. Arms wrapped around me trying to restrain me. "No" I yelled. "Get off. Get off of me" I cried out.

"No, darling please stop." A woman frantically said pulling me to the ground as I struggled, wand out of hand.

"Silver" Snape said in disbelief. I froze.

"Hello Severus." The woman said. "I'm sorry about this darling." I felt something hit my head.
