Yeah!

Snape!

He trusted you!

Go on.

Incarcerous.

Fight back!

You coward, fight back!

No!

He belongs to the Dark Lord.

Sectumsempra!

You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?

Yes.

I’m the Half-Blood Prince.

Potter.

in light of what has happened.

if you should have the need to talk to someone.

You should know, Professor Dumbledore you meant a great deal to him.

Do you think he would’ve done it?

Draco?

No.

No, he was lowering his wand.

In the end, it was Snape.

It was always Snape.

And I did nothing.

It’s fake.

Open it.

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.

R A B.

Don’t know.

But whoever they are, they have the real Horcrux.

Which means it was all a waste.

All of it.

Ron’s okay with it, you know.

You and Ginny.

But if I were you, when he’s around, Id keep the snogging to a minimum.

I’m not coming back, Hermione.

I’ve got to finish whatever Dumbledore started.

And I don’t know where that’ll lead me.

but I’ll let you and Ron know where I am when I can.

I’ve always admired your courage, Harry.

But sometimes, you can be really thick.

You don’t really think you’re going to be able.

to find all those Horcruxes by yourself, do you?

You need us, Harry.
