He was so scared.
He doesn't want to become like that.
The seeds planted some time ago have begun to sprout.
The plant of justice eventually absorbed all the nutrients from the soil.
...
News of Dumbledore's murder by the Death Eaters spread throughout the wizarding world.
The entire wizarding world was shaken to its core, and the Ministry of Magic was forced to acknowledge Voldemort's resurrection.
All of Dumbledore's followers wept bitterly, and a somber atmosphere permeated the entire Hogwarts.
The three little ones sat in the school lobby with red eyes, wiping away tears with handkerchiefs.
No one knew that the handkerchief was soaked in onion water, and the three little ones cried even harder the more they wiped their faces.
"Harry, someone is looking for you."
Neville, his eyes red and sobbing, patted Harry on the shoulder, then tilted his head back to stop the tears from falling.
Harry turned around and saw Draco. He hurriedly stood up and gave Ron and Hermione an "OK" sign.
"Draco? What's wrong?"
He came to the corner.
Holding the book, she timidly looked at the dejected Draco.
Harry was met with silence, which was only broken after a long while.
"I killed Dumbledore."
Draco looked up at Harry, but Harry was startled by Draco's eyes.
The whites of his eyes were covered in red blood vessels, like a spider web, intertwined and crisscrossing, covering the entire eye.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Draco's eyes had changed color.
"I killed Dumbledore."
Thinking Harry was shocked by the news, Draco repeated it again.
He was ready to face Harry's attack.
Whether it's slapping him, holding a wand to his throat, or simply using a spell...
He was ready to face Harry's wrath.
"You...you killed Dumbledore?"
Shock flashed in Harry's eyes.
No, wasn't Dumbledore killed by Snape?
Just a few days ago, Dumbledore said that Draco ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
It was also said that Draco was a kind-hearted child.
How come Draco claims he killed him?
What kind of expression is that?
"Aren't you the one who admires Dumbledore the most?"
Draco frowned, somewhat puzzled by Harry's behavior.
"Yes, I do admire Dumbledore."
Harry adjusted his glasses.
Are you sure you killed Dumbledore?
"I don't think I'd be foolish enough to unjustly brand myself as a murderer, would I?"
Draco's Adam's apple bobbed, and his tone sounded somewhat angry.
He pushed Harry's shoulder and tried to walk out.
Harry's behavior left Draco speechless.
Upon hearing that he had killed his beloved teacher, his first reaction was not outrage, but rather that he remained calm and questioned him.
How deep were Harry's feelings for Dumbledore?
Draco's feelings for Harry have successfully turned negative.
At that moment, he felt that Harry was a two-faced scoundrel.
Just like myself, I don't deserve respect.
"I...that's not what I meant."
"You're lying to me. You didn't kill Dumbledore, did you?"
"Snape killed him."
Harry tugged at Draco's sleeve, staring intently at him.
How did you know?
Draco turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“I just know that you wouldn’t kill someone.”
Harry let go and hugged the book in his arms tightly.
No, I will.
Draco rubbed his eyes vigorously, and Harry felt like he was rubbing his eyelids raw.
"I'm a bad guy. It's because I took this mission that Dumbledore died."
"You can hit me, curse me, and even use your wand to cast a Cruciatus Curse on me."
Draco, as if all his strength had been drained, slumped his head and slammed Harry's wand against himself.
"Please, punish me, kill me, hurt me, do whatever you want."
