We stood there quietly and still as a board, as the deatheaters ran down the stairs.

Once they passed, Harry loosened his grip on me.

"AHHHHH!" I let out a loud cry as I fell to the ground.

I trusted Draco.

I trusted Draco with my life and every inch of my soul.

"We've gotta get out of here!" Harry yelled picking me off of the floor, "we've got to go after them!"

Harry took me by the arm, and pulled me with him.

His grip was tight on my arm, as he pulled me through the stairs and the dark halls.

I wanted to fight it, it wasn't a good idea to follow them.

I couldn't pull away from Harry.

I didn't care anymore.

My body and mind were on autopilot.

My whole world was flipped upside down.

The deatheaters destroyed the hallways that they walked through.

Breaking everything in their sight, as they lead themselves out of the castle.

Harry dragged me along, as he followed them to Hagrid's hut.

Bellatrix casted the dark mark into the sky.

She cackled as she jumped with joy.

Draco stumbled as he walked amongst the others.

He tripped over his feet, as his cries softly sounded in the air.

Bellatrix casted at Hagrid's hut, causing it to burst into flames as she skipped off into the distance.

Snape walked farther behind them, slowly walking.

Harry quickly let go of me.

He ran forward towards Snape, pulling his wand out and casting at him.

Snape quickly turned toward us, blocking Harry's spell.

Harry casted at him again, Snape blocked it once more.

"Fight back, you coward!" Harry yelled from the bottom of his chest.

Snape stood there and stared blankly at us.

Snape flicked his wand out, quickly casting at us.

Harry and I flew into the air, knocking us backwards.

"He trusted you!" Harry cried out.

Snape quickly walked over, and stood before us.

He leaned over Harry.

"You can't use my own spells against me. That's right, I am the half blood prince." Snape growled, kicking Harry's wand out of his hand.

Snape turned and walked away.

Pain filled my body, as I laid on the cold ground.

I didn't care enough to fight back.

I didn't care what happened to me.

We had watched a great man die.

I had been betrayed by Draco, the man who had me wrapped around his finger.

...

The students of Hogwarts were sent home early that year.

It was unsafe to stay there.

The day we were being sent home, the four of us sat on the top of the astronomy tower.

I sat against the wall, with my last cigarette too my lips.

"Do you think Draco would have done it?" Hermione asked Harry.

"No, he was lowering his wand." Harry replied quickly.

Hermione and Harry sat by the railing, Ron sat a distance away from them.

"In the end, it was Snape. It was always Snape. And, we stood there... and did nothing..." Harry glanced over at me, as he trailed off.

I shook my head, as I took a long drag from my cigarette, before looking at the ground.

No Harry, you wouldn't let me do anything.

You held me still and silent.

Harry reached into his pocket, and pulled out a locket.

"Strange," Hermione said looking at the locket that Harry held, "that this thing is a piece of Voldemort's soul."

It was a Horcrux.

Harry explained to us earlier that Voldemort made Horcux's from his soul.

That's what Slughorn's secret was, that Tom Riddle asked him about Horcux's.

That's what him and Dumbledore where trying to figure out and find.

The Horcrux's were the key to destroying Voldemort.

"Yeah, its fake. Go on, open it." Harry handed her the locket.

Hermione opened it, and pulled a piece of paper out from the center.

"

, but I wanted you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux, and intend to destroy

."

Hermione read the note out loud to us.

"R.A.B?" She questioned, looking up at Harry.

"Don't know, but who ever they are... they have the real Horcrux. Which means, it was all a waste. All of it." Harry sighed, taking the locket back.

Hermione looked back over her shoulder at Ron, then back to Harry.

"You know, Ron is ok with it... You and Ginny." Hermione reassured Harry.

Harry looked up at Hermione, and gave her a weak smile.

"But if I were you," she started again, "when Ron's around, I would keep the snogging to a minimum."

I rolled my eyes, taking another long drag from my cigarette.

Out off all things, she decided to bring that up... right now?

"I'm not coming back, Hermione." Harry turned his head away.

"We reckon... Ron and me..." Hermione trailed off.

"I have to finish what Dumbledore started. I don't know where it will lead me, but I'll let you guys know where I am... when I can. " Harry stood up, and walked over to the railing of the astronomy tower.

Hermione and Ron stood up, and followed him.

"I've always admired your courage, Harry. Sometimes... you're really thick." Hermione smiled.

"Courage is just a nice way to say stupid." I spoke, causing their heads to turn towards me.

I hadn't spoken to anyone in days.

It was hard to get words to come out of my mouth.

Too many thoughts jumping around my head.

I stood up, and took the last drag from my cigarette. I walked over to them, flicking the butt off of the edge.

"You honestly think that you can find all these Horcrux's by yourself?" Hermione asked Harry.

"You need us, Harry." Ron replied.

Harry looked at Ron, then back at Hermione.

"Yeah, I do," Harry chuckled, "but do me a favor. Keep the snogging to a minimum."

Harry shot me a smirk.

Hermione and Ron's eyes got wide, as their faces both turned red.

"Like that's gonna happen." Hermione chuckled nervously.

"Besides, she's barking." Ron laughed.

"Funny, she says the same thing about you." Harry joked.

Hermione smacked him in the arm.

Everyone fell silent, as they looked off into the distance.

"I need a drink." I groaned rubbing my face.
