I'm sorry. So many things happened and I really wish I could take it all back. But you deserve the truth and I deserve whatever may come.

When my father failed to get the prophecy for the Dark Lord, that summer everything change. And as punishment for my fathers failure I became a death eater, so he marked me. Believe me it wasn't pleasant. I could still feel it burning, the pain that screamed through my skin. But if I didn't do it, he would've killed my mother and me for my father's behavior. On top of this punishment he assigned me an almost impossible task.

I knew things were going to go bad after everything that happened in the Department of Mysteries  which is why I acted the way I did to you. Why I didn't want you back in my life at first, it was to keep you safe from the crossfires. But I became so scared and overwhelmed I don't think I have the heart to do what needs to be done. To kill Dumbledore. By the time you read this the task would be done. And if I did finish the task please... do everyhting to stay away from snatchers, death eaters... and stay away from me.

I love you, and because I love you I don't want to see you get hurt. He's going to come after you. He'll become desperate to get to Harry, he'll find the quicker way which is through you. So I beg  of you stay hidden. 

But Harry was right. I am now one of them. I cursed Katie to give Dumbeldore the cursed necklace. I was the one who switch Slughorn's bottole with a bottle laced with posion to give it to Dumbledore. I am the one who is letting the death eaters into Hogwarts. I've been mending the vanishing cabient in the room of requirement for the Dark lords task. The cabinet has a twin sister in Burgorins and Burkes, they form a passage and that's how I am getting them inside. That's what kept me up for hours, skipping classes, lack of sleep. I couldn't let you get in the way where you could possibly be hurt when they do come. Bellatrix almost killed you, she would've been happy to do it again. So I found a hidden room, that's where you'll be when the time comes.

Hate me. Loathe me if you wish. I am a monster. But I'm also scared and fearful of what's to come. I've known what my family was in in the dark days. And my mother stands alidly beside my family's name as we become the monsters everyone knows us to be. The only things that keeps my mind at bay is that you are safe, for now. Even if I have to hide the fact that I am in love with you from the Dark Lord himself.

I love you. I'll always love you. Even if my parents would loathe me for loving you, I wouldn't care. You're the light in my dark world. If we do met and I'm cruel you have to know I'll love you still. I don't think there's ever going to be a part of me that can not love you. You've changed me completely, and if in another life things weren't like this. Where there was no war. I would've gladly threw my family tradition out for you. If my parents disowned me then so be it. At least I'd have you. And that's what I always wanted.

Please be safe.

And I'm sorry.

I look out at the lake after finishing reading the letter. Dumbledore's funeral was in two days. Everyone was mourning, owls were in a week. So were Newts.

I heard someone walking over and then sitting next to me.

"You alirght?"

"Fine." I answered blankly.

"He didn't do it." I heard Harry speak. "Draco. He was lowering his wand before they came in. In the end it was Snape who killed Dumbledore."

I look down at the letter then handed it over to my brother. Harry took it and read it.

"You were right." I saw Harry look at me from the corner of my eye, as I didn't look away from the lake. "He was one of them. And he was sent to do something evil. So I guess you got what you wanted."

"But you were also right." Harry said finally making me turn my head and look at him. "There was more to the story then I believed. He wasn't doing this by choice Davina. And he does love you. He kept you safe when everything happened."

"And now I'll never see him again." I look back at the lake as a bird was soaring through the sky. "You're lucky you have Ginny. Ron and Hermione are together at least. Everyone has someone and I.... I'm just doomed." I began picking at the grass and picking it out.

"You're not. Ginny and I aren't going to work things out after all this. We're going to finish Voldemort." Harry said. "That's why I've been with--"

"No don't tell me. Harry I know you're going to finish this and I know you're not going to come back next year. Do what you have to do but don't tell me anything. And you should know Remus wrote to me this morning, the order said we couldn't be together once they figure out what to do next. With Sumbledore gone neither of us should be together. I'm still underage and you'll be of age. If I go with you it'll be easier to you because I have trace.  And if they get to me, you have to promise it finish it. Voldemort, all of this has to end."

"I promise." he said. "But... I need to apologize for everything. I was a bit mad, parnoid really... and I was harsh on you. Your my sister, Davina, you have to understand I was protecting you."

"I know, but you don't need to protect me anymore, Harry." I look at him. "I'm not that little girl anymore that was waiting for you back on Pivet drive when you first came here. I don't need you to worry about me because if you did... it'll make things worse. Voldemort would win." Harry look at me as I telling him the truth. "In order of us to even have a chance, Harry... you have to let me go. You have to trust me."

He look back out at the lake as did I. It was quiet for a while, nothing but the water and birds singing around us.

"You say that like it's easy. You'll always be my little sister, I'm always going to want to protect you. But you're right, as much as I hate it you're right. And for the record... I've always trusted you, Davina."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were heading home. As I was packing my things I found books that weren't there before. I pick it up and there was writing on a blank page. A spell. I read it and saw what it does and smiled.

It works.

I pack my things and then carried it off to the train. Athena flew over me watching around carefully. I got on the train and found, where Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were sitting in.

I knock and everyone look at me. "Can I join?"

"Of course." Ginny said smiling.

I sat next to Neville and then the train took off. I was against the window as I look at the school that was once peaceful. And home.

Now it wouldn't be like that anymore. Everythings changed. Nothing was ever going to be the same. A war was coming and Harry and I, all of our freinds and love ones were in the middle of it.  And no one knew what the outcome was going to be.

"Draco?" my head snap up as I saw my mother appoarching me. "Are you alright sweetheart?"

"Fine." I said rudely, closing the book I was reading and got up.

"Talk to me." she stood in front of me and place both her hands on either side of my face.

I turned my head away and took a step back. "I said I'm fine."

"No you're not." she said firmly. "Something bothering you."

"Doesn't matter." I walk around her. "There's nothing you can do to fix it."

"I can try." she followed me the shut the door with her wand to keep me from leaving. "You're not leaving till you've told me what's brothering you."

I took a deep breathe nad turned around tossing the book onto the table, which made a loud smack, and took three steps towards her.

"You made Snape swear to protect, finish the task for me by an unbreakable vow."

She sighed. "Draco..."

"And now... the girl I love is now in immortal danger and there's nothing you can do."

And there it was. She look at me blinking her eyes in confusion. "Who is she?"

"Doesn't matter. You'd loathe me anyways and tell father."

"Draco, I'm your mother. I could never hate you."

I pulled out a wand, which made her watch me closely, as I cast a slience spell around us. Once that was done I took another step closer. "Swear to me." I said staring hard at her. "Swear you won't tell anyone."

"I swear on it."

I look at her closely. "You've met her." she was about to speak but I cut her off. "That day in Diagon Alley, when we were heading to Knotturn alley to check on the vanishing cabinet."

Her eyes widen and she rasied her hand to cover mouth. "Draco..."

"Like I said." I took a step back. "There's nothing for you to do."

"How long?" she asked.

"Since I've met her."

"Draco." she grabbed my hands. "You can not tell your father, nor Bella. The dark lord... he'll kill you for it. To get to her. We'll find a way."

"Just leave it mother." I let go of my mother's hands, place my wand away and walk out of the library to head to my room.

I heard screaming and slammed my door closed. The death eaters were torturing people for fun. I lifted my hand and look at my family ring, I had a second on in case something did happen to my current one. And right now it's with her, my princess, my love. I leaned against the door and slid down ending up on the ground.

At least she was safe. That's all that's keeping me going.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow, this was short, sorry about that. 

Half-Blood Prince done. Now onto death hallows. 

I thought about letting Narcissa know about Draco and Davina. Of course, there's plans for how she's going to take it. Also, Harry and Davina are back on good terms. And if it's not clear Simon and Alice are no longer together. And don't worry there is a bigger play here. 

So till next time, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
