In this chapter... They have got the Horcrux – a locket – with them, and they Apparate into Hogsmeade. They are horrified to see the Dark Mark hovering over Hogsmeade. This means there has been a Death Eater attack. Madame Rosmerta – from the Three Broomsticks – has saw them Apparate, and lend them broomsticks. They arrive on the top of the Astrometry Tower. Professor Dumbledore tells Harry to go and find Professor Snape – Snape can restore him to full fitness. Before Harry can do this however, the door bursts open and Draco Malfoy stands there.
Dumbledore quickly immobilises Harry, who is under his Invisibility Cloak. Dumbledore is cornered and wandless. Malfoy tells Professor Dumbledore that Lord Voldemort has given him the task to kill him. Dumbledore tries to talk Draco to coming to the good side; he knows he is not a killer. . Just as Malfoy is about to lower his wand other Death Eaters show up and start taunting Dumbledore. One of them is Fenrir Greyback – the werewolf who enjoys injuring children and who bit Remus Lupin many years ago, which made him into a werewolf too. Professor Snape shows up soon after and, pushing everyone else aside, kills Dumbledore with the Avada Kedavra curse without a second thought.
Snape said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The Three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.
Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
“Severus…please…”
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
“Avada Kedavra”
Where is the Dark Mark situated? Over Hogwarts Astronomy Tower
Chapter 28: Flight Of The Prince
In this chapter... Harry cannot believe what has happened, he cannot believe Dumbledore is dead. The Death Eaters escape down the stairs, and Harry is able to move again. Harry runs down the stairs, after Professor Snape, determined to kill him. There has been a violent battle downstairs, which is still continuing. Some of the Order members are fighting the Death Eaters with Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville.
Harry finally catches up with Snape and Malfoy, and starts duelling with Snape. Harry uses curses from the Half Blood Prince’s book. Professor Snape laughs – he is the Half Blood Prince. Harry has been using his old potions book all year. Professor Snape and Malfoy manage to Disapparates outside the Hogwarts gates. Hagrid helps Harry to his feet. Hagrid’s hut has burnt down – he only just managed to get Fang the boarhound out in time. Hagrid can’t understand why Snape was with Death Eaters and refuses to believe that Professor Dumbledore is dead. Harry kneels over Dumbledore's body and sees the Horcrux they went out to find tonight. He opens the locket and sinks when he realizes that it was a fake-the real Horcrux had been taken by someone else a long time ago.
To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.
“Kill me, then,” panted Harry, who felt no fear at all, bur only rage and contempt. “Kill me like you killed him, you coward – ”
“DON’T – ” screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them, “- CALL ME COWARD!”
True or false – Fang the boarhound is saved from Hagrid’s burning hut? True
