-----

You walk up the metal steps to the Astronomy Tower alone. Technically, you aren't supposed to be out and about at this time. It was after hours after all. Despite your actions being against the riles, you keep on walking. Since first year, you always loved spending some peaceful time to yourself anywhere on the Hogwarts grounds. It always is a nice escape for you from the extremely hectic and tiring days at school. You finally finish climbing the stairs and step over to the metal railing with a view that overlooks the grounds. You stand there and survey the beautiful view of the rolling hills, the forest, and the Black Lake. You breath in and then exhale slowly. The evening was absolutely perfect. Maybe a bit cloudy, but you didn't mind at all. You closed your eyes and listened to the wind. You start to think about Draco. You two have been together for over a year now and he has countless times before profusely established his undying love for you through hugs, kisses, and numerous gifts even though it wasn't a holiday or your birthday. In recent times, he had begun to drift apart and you still have no idea why.

Suddenly: crack!

Harry and Professor Dumbledore appeared next to you. They moved forward clumsily Dumbledore limping over Harry. Harry grunted as he tried to supported Dumbledore's weight. Dumbledore looked like he was in immense pain.

"Oh my God! P-Professor! Harry! What happened? Why is the Professor limping?" you cry, rushing over to the small set of stairs where Harry was setting Dumbledore down to sit.

"We need to get you to the hospital wing, sir!" Harry tells Dumbledore, frantically.

"N-no," Dumbledore replies shakily, reaching out his hand to steady his body as he sat down with a gentle thump. "Severus. Severus is who I need. Wake him. Tell him what happened. Speak to nobody else. Severus, Harry."

"Yes, sir." Harry nods and quickly turns around to go and find Professor Snape.

"Wait! Harry! What's going on? What happened? What are you two talking about?" you ask Harry.

Suddenly there's a gentle thud of a closing door and the sound of steady but nervous footsteps approaching. Harry Turns around to look at you and then to Dumbledore who stands back up.

"Hide yourself below, Harry and y/n. Don't speak or be seen by anybody without my permission. Whatever happens, it is imperative you stay below. That goes for you, too. y/n."

"But, Professor!" Harry

"Harry," Dumbledore says pleadingly. "Do as I say."

The footsteps come closer and get louder and louder.

"Harry!" you hiss at him and he follows. You two climb down a different set of stairs and hide below the floor. You gaze up through the cracks in the wood flooring and the hole in the center of the room. Slowly, you see a tall figure coming out of the shadows from where you came up into the astronomy tower. It seems to be a boy. He pokes out his wand and points it straight at Dumbledore nervously. He's wearing an all black finely tailored suit. Oh, my God... It's Draco! you think. You can't believe your eyes. Why is Draco here? And why does he have his wand on Professor Dumbledore?
