as promised here's part two!
Suddenly the door crashed open and in strode two people I recognized as the Carrows, "Oh Dumbledore cornered and all alone, it's our lucky day."
"Ah, the siblings Carrow," Dumbledore said as if he had just run into the pair on the street.
"Do it," came a voice I recognized.
"Fenrir is that you?" questioned Dumbledore.
The werewolf emerged from the shadows, "Happy to see me aren't you? You see, your boy Draco helped me out over the summer, figured I would return the favor. Not to mention there are plenty of young students here for me to feast on. You know how much I love the taste of children."
"I do, and I must say it disgusts me."
"Do it already Draco!" yelled Dolohov who came through the door next.
Draco was still frozen still. A familiar pair of shoes strode past us then stopped and looked down. I saw my father's face through the stairs.
He came back down a few stairs and came to where me and Harry were hiding. He put a finger to his mouth to tell us to keep quiet. I relaxed a bit, even if Dumbledore was a bit hurt right now, Severus and he could surely keep the Death Eaters at bay enough to get away.
He bent down so his face was immediately in front of mine and then I realized there were tears in his eyes, "I love you," he mouthed.
He pulled me in for a hug which I received graciously, "Everything I do, I do for you," he whispered in my ear.
I wasn't sure what he was talking about but I appreciated it anyways. I loved him even if we hadn't spoken in a while and he was keeping secrets from me. he was still my father and my best friend. Stay here, he mouthed at the two of us then returned to the staircase. Harry and I turned to watch the scene once more. I was upset I couldn't be out there, but there was something I didn't know. I was sure my father would take care of it all anyways.
Once Severus stepped through the door one of the Carrows said, "The boy doesn't seem able to do it Severus."
Severus didn't even look at the man in front of him but as staring straight at Dumbledore, "Severus," pleaded Dumbledore.
My father said nothing but pushed the other Death Eaters out of the way and looked at them with pure hatred on his face. His expression dropped a bit as he looked at Draco, who he seems to feel sorry for before turning back to Dumbledore.
"Severus...please," Dumbledore said leaning against the wall.
Severus raised his wand at Dumbledore and I wondered what healing spell he was going to use. He was only going to get one go to get a wand to Dumbledore and get out of here.
"Avada Kedavra!" my father yelled.
A green jet of light came from his wand and hit Dumbledore square in the chest. Harry yelled and I screamed. Dumbledore fell back and through the gap in the tower, all the way to the ground below.
Harry and I were frozen in place as the Death Eaters streamed down the stairs above us, cackling. I was awestruck, had my father been lying about his true allegiances this whole time? How could I have not figured that out. Now he had gone and killed the greatest good wizard of our time. I could have stopped this if I had not trusted Severus so blindly.
Finally I was able to move and I turned to Harry who looked livid, "What the hell did your father just do?"
"You think I bloody know?" I screamed back, "That son of a bitch, I'm going to rip him to shreds. He killed Dumbledore!"
"Let's go, we have to get them."
Harry and I raced down the stairs now. At the bottom we ran into the Order fighting the other Death Eaters. This wasn't our focus right now. Harry shot a stunning spell at the Death Eater who was yelling Cruico at Ginny, and I easily disarmed the one Neville was fighting before we ran off.
"Malfoy and Snape ran past here a few seconds ago," Neville painted.
"We know, which way?" I asked quickly.
He pointed to the right and we been to run that way. This was the opposite way from the Room of Requirement so they must have another plan for escape. I would make sure that wouldn't happen, there was no way I was letting him get away with this.
A few bloody footsteps alerted us to the fact that they had gone out the front door. Unfortunately for us there were now a bunch of Hufflepuffs clad in their pajamas in the front corridor.
Ernie called to us, "We heard something about the Dark Mark. What is going on?"
"Not now," Harry yelled shoving past them to the grounds outside the castle.
Once out the front door Harry pointed in the distance and said, "There!"
Sure enough a few hundred yards ahead there were three figures running for the front gates, to where they could safely apparate from. From the looks of it, it appeared to be Draco, my father, and, was that my mother? Had my father really been working with the woman I hated more than anything this whole time too?
Harry took off like a bullet after them, and I followed right behind Harry. Harry and I began to shoot curses at their backs.
"Run Draco," I heard Severus say.
He drew his wand and stood to face Harry who yelled, "Cruc-"
"No Unforgivables from you POtter, you haven't got the nerve," he said.
"Yeah well I do, crucio!"
Severus sidestepped my curse and set another flying my way, "I don't want to hurt you Jessica, I love you."
"You aren't capable of love. You killed Dumbledore! And you've been working with my mother! How could you?"
"I would never do anything to hurt you love," he said still dueling with both me and Harry, "You can come with me, you'll be safe with me."
"Screw you!" I shouted sending a stunning curse at him.
"I can protect you and love you," Severus pleaded, "You will be alone here."
"I'd rather be alone than be with the likes of you," I spat, "You're no father of mine."
Now there was a small gathering coming from the castle who could see everything that was happening below them.
Harry shot another curse at Severus who had only been defleting his curses, "Fight back you freaking coward!"
"If I remember correctly, your father would only attack if it was four on one. You are the same. You wouldn't be doing this if you didn't have JEssica here."
"Don't say my name!" I screamed, "I hate you!"
"This is your last chance to come with us Jessica."
"I said don't say my name you bastard!"
I was about to shoot the Cruciatus curse at him but I was cut off by Harry wailing, someone had obviously hit him with that same curse. I saw Bellatrix emerge from behind Severus cackling.
Severus threw a spell at her and shouted, "Do you not remember our orders? We are not supposed to hurt the boy tonight. Let's go."
Harry got to his feet and yelled, "Sectumsempra!"
Severus blocked the spell and seethed, "You dare use my own spell against me? That's right, I am the Half-Blood Prince."
"Kill me then, you filthy coward. And kill your own daughter while you're at it why don't you?"
His face contorted into some sort of demented animal as he roared, "DO NOT CALL ME A COWARD."
In Harry's shock Severus was able to stun Harry, the only spell he cast in Harry's direction all night.I turned to help Harry, and that was all they needed. They turned and ran far enough that they could apparate to safety. I looked in awe at the spot he had just been. I sank to my knees beside Harry and put my head in my hands before beginning to cry. I had just suffered the biggest blindside in the history of landslides. How was I supposed to keep doing this now, with the knowledge that my own father had betrayed me. I couldn't very well just stop being a Death Eater, Voldemort would surely kill me, and the Order needed the help even if I didn't tell them directly. I was overwhelmed, and I was sure I had just lost three of the most important people in my life. I had seen Blake with the other Death Eaters on the way out here, so I supposed he had finally gotten his time to join. I wondered if Blake knew this was going to happen, or if Draco did. Had he just been playing me this whole time?
