#2. Avada Kedavra
“Avada Kedavra!”
Nobody seemed to notice, but Severus’ body shivered harshly as the words left his mouth. He tried to cloud out the scene in front of him, but he had to focus on it at the same time. Draco sat like a frightened child at his feet, muttering rapidly to himself. The headmaster, his colleague, mentor and friend lay lifeless a few feet away.
‘It had to be done. It had to be done,’ his conscience muttered over and over again. He knew he couldn’t take it back now, as much as he regretted it, but Albus had made him promise to do it. He had had no choice. He didn’t, he didn’t …
Severus stared at the whimpering boy under him. Draco was looking even more pale, almost a sickening green hint, showing on his face. Severus grabbed his hand.
“Come, Mr. Malfoy! We must leave!” Snape yelled as he pulled him along the hall which led to the castle doors. Just as he had pulled Draco through Snape heard the faint sounds of screams and cries from a voice he immediately recognized. Snape didn’t look back though, he couldn’t. He had to clear his thoughts.
‘I’m sorry…Potter.’
