March came quick in Hogwarts. It was still cold outside, but at least not snowing like it used to. Louis didn't wanted to tell me what he wanted to say for past 2 months. I tried to convince him, but he just didn't wanted to spit it out.
"Good morningg."- Blaise said to me and Louis while we were eating dinner in Great Hall.
"Morning Blaise."- I said.
"So are you going to tell Y'n?"- Blaise asked Louis.
"How does he know and I don't know."- I said acting shocked.
"Shut up Blaise."- Louis said. "Didn't plan to, but now I need because Y'n will probably lock me in some basement until I say it."
"Why couldn't you say whatever you need to for past two months?"- I asked.
"Because he's an idiot."- Blaise said.
"Why couldn't you say what you said to Hermione for past two months?"- Louis asked.
"Well."- I said.
"Weeeell."- He said.
"Hermione told me."- Blaise said.
"She told you?!"- I turned around to Blaise.
"Told what?"- Hermione came behind me.
"You told Blaise what I said in bathroom?"- I asked.
"That time when you say that L-"- She tried to continue.
"Shush."- I cut her off. "You told him?"
"I didn't."- She said.
"Just wanted to see your reaction."- Blaise smiled.
"Go to hell Blaise."- I said laughing.
"What did you say about me?"- Louis asked smirking.
"It doesn't need to be you Mr confident."- Hermione said.
"Name started with L"- He asked.
"It can be Lavender, Luna, my owl..."- I said.
"Why wouldn't you say it then if it wasn't about me."- He asked.
"Becausee."- I said.
"Y'n you know you need to help me in my dorm about that thing."- Hermione said.
"That thing? Oh yes got to go boys."- I said getting up.
"Avoidingggg."- Louis said.
"Sit down."- I said pushing his head down and walking away with Hermione. "Thank you."
"You are so clueless."- She said.
"What do you mean?"- I asked.
"You'll find out."- She said. "And you are welcome from me getting you out from probably the most awkward moment you two had."
"Trust me it's not."- I said as we were just making circles around the castle.
"You have to admit to yourself that you like him you know."- She said.
"I don't."- I said.
"Come on you do it's so obvious. You can't admit to yourself that you are in love with your best friend."
"Like you aren't."- I said.
"So you just admitted it."- She said.
"I never said it."
"You will admit it tonight."- She said as we entered Great Hall.
"What?"
"We are back!"- She said as I sat down next to Louis.
"Let me guess you two were just making circles around the castle?"- Louis asked.
"We would never."- I said.
Rest of the dinner we spent talking about some random things and me just wondering what's Blaise talking about. I had few guesses about what Louis will say, but they just seemed dumb.
"Meet me here at 8 PM."- Louis said as we entered Slytherin common room. "This can end well or just end bad no in between."
"Okay I'm scared now."- I said.
"See you in hour Y'n."- He said as he left for the dorm.
7:50
I had nothing else to do so I climbed to common room and planned just to sit on couch and wait for Louis. I left my dorm and saw Draco in common room. Immediately when he saw me he got up and was walking towards the door.
"Draco!"- I said trying to stop him from leaving.
He didn't listen so I used the spell and closed the door right in front of me.
"What Y'n?"- He said panicking.
"What's wrong and what is happening?"- I asked walking towards him.
"You don't know how many times I wished to say it to you and to Louis, but I can't. You two will hate me forever."
"Draco whatever you are doing we would never hate you. This whole year you have been acting weird. Where's the boy I knew for 6 years who smiled every minute and made fun of everyone?"
"You will find out soon where he is."- He said. "I had no choice Y'n."
"Whatever you are doing or going to do be careful okay."- I said hugging him but he just stood here. "Hug me back right now."
Draco hugged me back and I could just feel his heart starting to beat normally again. It felt like I was the first person who gave him a hug in his entire life.
"I got to go."- He said. "Please don't hate me after this."
"I promise."- I said.
Draco left the common room and sooner or later Louis bursted out of his door.
"I talked to Draco."- I said.
"What did he say?"- He asked.
"He told me about how he has no choice and that we will hate him."
"Of course we won't."- He said.
Me and Louis talked a little about Draco and then Louis said we needed to go to Snape's closet of potions and take one potion.
"We will need..."- Louis said looking for a potion.
"If you are planning to poison me you could do it in common room too."- I said.
"This."- He said picking up purple potion.
"What is that?"- I asked.
"You will see."- He said.
We climbed to Astronomy tower while I asked Louis about 100 questions, but he didn't answer any of them. Just "You'll see".
"Okay so what now."- I asked as we sat down.
"See this potion."- He said. "It's a potion that makes you say lies."
"Are you becoming a magician?"- I asked laughing.
"Wizard. Close enough."- He said.
He turner around and it looked like he drank the potion. He turned back to me while I looked confused as hell.
"I like you."- He said.
"Out of everything you chose that."- I said laughing. "And that was your big prank?"
"I didn't drink it."- He said taking the potion and putting it in front of me. "I really hate to admit it I do Y'n."
Louis's speech was cut off by someone coming closer to us. It was Harry and Dumbledore. Harry was carrying Dumbledore while they were mumbling something.
"Come."- Louis said taking my hand as we walked little under of Astronomy tower. "Look this will ruin our entire friendship right now, but every time I smelled Amortentia I smelled you, every time Adrian even talked to you I got jealous so fast, every time when I said it doesn't matter what I was supposed to say, this was the thing I wanted to say and that one time I kissed you when I was drunk I knew what I was doing. I really hated to admit it Y'n, but yes I am in love with my best friend.
"Louis I-"- I tried to say something, but we saw Harry come down and I looked up and saw Draco and Dumbledore. Harry put his finger on his lips and told us to be quiet.
"Good evening Draco."- Dumbledore said. "What bring you here on this fine spring evening?"
I tried to focus more on Draco and I saw him holding his wand. I looked back to Louis who never looked more worried. I wish I could just say it to him right now that he didn't ruin anything, but I couldn't speak.
"Who else is here? I heard you talking."- Draco said pointing his wand at Dumbldore.
"I talk a lot to myself."- Dumbledore was saying, but Harry was moving so we couldn't hear him.
I turned around to Louis again and he whispered.
"I'm really sorry."- He whispered.
"You didn't ruin anything Louis."- I whispered back. "We will talk."
"Have you been whispering to yourself Draco?"- Dumbledore asked.
"I ruined our while friendship by what I said right now Y'n."- Louis whispered.
"You didn't.I hate to admit it too okay."- I said as Louis's face lighten up immediately. "Now shut up, not the time."
"Trust me. I was chosen."- Draco said showing his arm. There it was. Death mark on his left arm.
"I shall make it easy for you."- Dumbledore said.
"Expelliamus!"- Draco yelled as Dumbledores wand dropped.
"Draco, Draco."- Dumbledore whispered as we heard someone come in. "Your not alone. How?"
"The Vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement."- Draco said.
"Come."- I took Louis's hand as we moved to the corner of the room.
"Draco. Years ago I knew a boy who made all of wrong choices. Please let me help you."
"I don't need your help! Don't you understand? I have to do this. I have to kill you."- Draco said as his voice was cracking up. "Or he's gonna kill me."
Moment later we saw someone come in the room.
"Louis we should go."- I said.
"We can't go. They are on the stairs."- Louis said.
"Good evening Bellatrix."- Dumbledore said.
I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying because we were moving around so they can't see us. I just heard Bellatrix say "Do it". This was the thing Draco didn't wanted to say to us. He had no choice.
"Just like his father."- Someone said. "Let me finish it in my own way."
"No!"- Bellatrix said. "Dark Lord marked the boy to do it."
I turned around to Snape pointing his wand to me, Harry and Louis and shushing us.
"Go on Draco."- Bellatrix said. "Now!"
"No."- Snape said coming up.
"Severus."- Dumbledore said. "Please."
"Avada Kedavra."- Snape said while green sparkle came out of his wand and hit Dumbledore. Dumbledore was thrown off Astronomy tower and he was falling to the bottom. I put my hand on my mouth trying not to make any sound. I turned around to Louis who looked petrified. Harry was on edge of his tears.
"You two don't follow me."- Harry said as all death eaters went away.
"Louis we need to go."- I said.
"Y'n."- Louis said.
"Last thing."- I said turning around to him.
I put my hands on Louis's face and pulled him closer to me. I kissed him while he put his right hand on my cheek. His cold hands touched my warm cheeks and I could feel him smiling. Hermione was right. I will admit it to myself tonight. I'm in love with my best friend.
"Are you drunk?"- Louis asked as I pulled away.
"No."- I said.
"On some kind of a potion?"- He asked.
"Nope."
"So you know what you just did?"
"I know."- I said. "We will talk about it tomorrow okay. We need to go now we just witnessed our principal dying. You didn't ruin anything. I hate to admit it, but I love you okay?"
"Okay."- Louis said slightly smiling.
Me and Louis walked back to our common room and separated to our dorms. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I knew Snape was bad, but this bad and what will happen to Draco? Only positive thing that happened tonight was Louis.
Sorry it took me so long for this chapter!! I really like it and I hope you guys like it too. They will talk and go through everything tomorrow.
