"WE FIGHT." DRACO ANSWERS LUX. "Right, Bec?" You nod in agreement with him.

"But I don't get who we're fighting for and against now?" Lux asks, perplexed.

"We fight for Potter, for Hogwarts. For our home, our family." You look to the three of them, as they all look around at each other. There was a chance that you would be killed by Voldemort if he found out you were rebelling against him, but there was also a chance you would all die regardless. "We fight for what's right."

"Thompson, there you are!" You turn around, seeing Theo running towards you. "I've been looking everywhere for you..." he trails off when he sees you and Draco.

"Oh, I um- I'll just..." he points in the opposite direction, going to walk away.

"Hey, Nott." Draco shouts, causing Theo to stop and turn back around. "It's cool."

He looks to Blaise and Lux, confused. "Wait, really?" He asks.

"Yeah, really?" Blaise also adds, making Lux slap his arm.

"Yeah, there's no way it's going to happen again. So, it's cool." There's a long pause from everyone. "Isn't that right, Bec?"

You roll your eyes at him and hold your left hand up, showing off your engagement ring.

"Fuck off!" Lux shouts, grabbing your hand and examining your ring. "Nice job, Malfoy."

Theo walks over to the both of you, shaking Malfoy's hand. Blaise then grabs Malfoy and pulls him into a bear hug, dragging him away.

"Congrats, Havelock."

"Theo, I'm sorry. But, it was always him."

"No... no, I know! It-it's fine." He brushes it off but you weren't sure you believed him, the look in his eyes seemed to betray his words.

Lux interrupts your conversation, which you were very grateful for, and pulls you into a hug. "Oh my god! I can't believe this! Why didn't you tell me?!" She shouts at you.

"I was a bit busy being a death eater, Lux. Couldn't exactly throw an engagement party, could I?"

"Oh my god! An engagement party, brilliant idea! After the whole war thing is over, of course." You roll your eyes at her as she goes off on a tangent, rambling about decorations and dress codes.

"Okay, so... are we really going to do this?" Blaise interrupts.

"I guess?" Lux answers.

"Wait, what do what? What did I miss?" Theo asks.

"Oh, not much. Just that we have decided to go behind Voldemort's back and stand with Hogwarts." Draco answers in a sarcastic tone.

Theo nods his head. "Right. Not much then." He smirks at Draco.

"Exactly. Let's go." Draco grabs your hand, pulling you back towards the war that was happening right beneath your feet. The adrenaline is coursing through your veins, making your heart pound faster and faster. You can hear the sound of screaming echoing through the empty halls.

"Bec!" Draco was waving his hand in front of your face, trying to get your attention.

"Huh?" You answer, almost running to keep up with him.

"Are you listening to me? Are you okay?" He looks concerned. You must have zoned out.

"I-I'm fine. I'll be fine." You continue heading towards the fight, running down the stairs hand in hand, Blaise, Lux and Theo following behind you.
