They took the path of no return,
Walked in unison towards the dark oath the spoke,
Murdered, assassinate and killed all in one,
Towards all the innocent souls they took,
The four powers have been brought down,
One evil the others good,
Two ashes fallen to the cold ground,
And the other two kept the way they should.

Chapter Eleven - Blood Spilled on Eternal Skin

Ten minutes later Voldemort lay dead at the Malfoy's dinner table. Lucius stood up and raised his glass.
" To Severus, and his brilliant poisons. " Every raised their glass and drank to it, " For finally getting rid of that stupid sod. "
The Ministry of Magic arrived shortly thereafter to take precautions ensuring he was dead. Draco noted with satisfaction that Arthur Weasley was not with them - probably to crushed by the death of his idiot son. Virginia was glad because this would be difficult to explain most likely. The other Ministry workers did look at her suspiciously however.

Lucius called them into his study later that evening, and Draco and Virginia dutifully responded.
" I have something for you. " he announced, opening a desk drawer and extracting two wooden boxes. He handed them the boxes and ushered them away. When they had returned to Draco's room, they opened them.
Nestled in two beds of forest green velvet were identical daggers. Black leather handles and silver blades.
" How did he know? " Virginia wondered allowed.
" He always knows. " Draco answered.
" They'll find out eventually. "
" I know. "
" Azkaban is not for me. "
" I know. "
" Now is as good a time as any. "
" I know. "
" I want to be with you forever, despite whatever fate. "
" Always. "
Virginia took the dagger and held the point at Draco's heart. Draco took his dagger and did the same.
" I love you. " he whispered.
" I love you. " she responded. And as their lips met, so did blade and blood.
