Changing Sides

48. Unbreakable Vow

Draco frowned at Blaise, still suspicious of his friend, no matter how much he wanted to believe the black haired Slytherin.

Blaise had just poured out his heart to the youngest Malfoy, admitting to his fear of joining the Death Eaters, of wanting to back out, but having no idea how to do it. He was a firm believer of the Light side, but had nobody to tell – sort of like Sirius during his Hogwarts years, Draco thought.

And now, Blaise wanted Draco to join forces with him and become spies against Voldemort.

“They’ll kill us if they find out,” Draco told him seriously. He was sorely tempted to accept the offer, however – he had no desire to have the deaths of innocent people on his conscience in the near future. Or ever, in fact.

“That’s why they won’t,” Blaise assured him. “The Unbreakable Vow. That way we won’t be able to tell them about both of us being involved even if one of us gets caught.”

Draco swallowed at that last sentence, but nodded. He knew Blaise was right. This was the only way.
