“Where’s Harry?” Hermione asked Draco as he hurried into the Great Hall.
“He’s gone,” Draco looked around wildly, “He’s headed to the forest,”
“What?!” Hermione and Ron asked at the same time.
“He had a head start and the invisibility cloak. I thought I could stop him before he went,” Draco messed his hair as he stressed.
“Why would he go?” Hermione asked, “He knows it’s a trap,”
Draco pulled Ron and Hermione out of the hall and into a private corridor casting privacy spells before saying, “Harry is a horcrux,”
Hermione and Ron looked to each other, “That was what was in Snape’s memories wasn’t it?” Hermione worried her bottom lip. Draco nodded his head and slumped to the floor.
“He told me to make sure the snake was killed. Then he’d just be a man…” Draco looked up at both of them, “It’s not supposed to end like this,”
Hermione kneeled next to him, “Why didn’t he say goodbye?” she was crying.
“I don’t know. Didn’t want us to stop him…”
Suddenly a bright white light surrounded him. His eyes focused and he stood up. Where am I?
There wasn’t any defining features of this white space. He squinted all around him there was one little spec in the distance. He started walking towards it. He felt great though. All his battle wounds were healed and he felt cleaner. As he approached the speck it became larger and he could hear muffled voices.
He sped up as the white space became King’s Cross Station. Surprised he looked back to where he had been and it was still white. Moving forward he could make out two shapes.
“Harry?” he called out in a quiet voice. Harry took a step closer and found Draco standing on the platform too.
“Hi,” he replied, “So you're dead too?“
“Dead?!” Draco panicked, “I went looking for you, told Ron and Hermione what had happened and then bam! I was here.” Draco looked sternly at Harry, “Why didn’t you say goodbye?”
“It was easier. You would have stopped me. I could see it in your face. I used the stone to see my family one last time… I am- was a horcrux. Voldemort had to kill me to destroy the part of him that was inside my scar.” Harry explained.
“You left without saying goodbye…” Draco went through several emotions. Sadness, anger, shock, and finally cleared his face of all emotion, “My Unbreakable Vow has tired me to your magic. You die. I die.”
Harry was dumbfounded, “No. I can't let you die.” were the first things to tumble out of his mouth.
“Why not? My life was forfeit for the start,”
“Because… because I… care about you,” Harry said with a blush.
Draco just stared. Harry couldn't meet his eyes. If he had he would have seen the happiness that flitted across his face.
Closing the space between them Draco lifted Harry's chin. Heartbeats skipping Harry looked at Draco. Smiling he pressed his lips to Harry's. Soft warm lips pressed a heat into the other. The kiss was chaste and sweet.
“I care for you too, Harry,” Draco whispered.
The light dimmed suddenly and Draco returned to the hallway with Ron and Hermione. He was laying in a very uncomfortable position and Hermione was hovering over him.
“Draco!” Hermione yelled, “Are you ok?” she helped move him to a sitting position.
“What happened?” Draco asked blinking.
“Looked like you’d been hit by…” Ron started to explain.
“Harry!” Draco scrambled to his feet. He ran past a bewildered Ron and Hermione out to the Great Hall. He paid no attention to the people he was pushing aside as he head to the courtyard. He was going to get Harry out of the forest if it was the last thing he did.
He pulled up short when he spotted a group of people moving toward the castle.
A crowd gathered around him as Voldemort and his death eaters entered the other end of the courtyard.
"You see? Harry Potter is dead! Do you understand now, deluded ones? He was nothing, ever, but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him!" Voldemort announced. Everyone gasped as they noticed Hagrid carrying Harry’s limp form. Draco’s heart seized. Why was he still dead? What happened. Draco couldn’t breathe for a long moment.
“Ah, Draco Malfoy. Join me again and we can forget your… youthful indiscretions,” Voldemort spoke with a sickly sweet tone. He could feel the undertones of the threat of punishment under it.
Everyone stared at Draco in a pregnant pause, “Never.” Voldemort’s followers shifted uncomfortably, “I swore my fealty to Harry Potter,”
Voldemort sneered, “I do not wish to spill any more magical blood. Surrender and you will be spared,”
“We will never give in to you.” Neville stood shoulder to shoulder with Draco, head held high. Everyone behind them screamed and shouted at Voldemort. He cast a silencing spell on the crowd but it did not last.
Voldemort cast a full body bind curse on Neville and summoned the sorting hat. Jamming it on Neville’s head he declared, “From now on there will be only one house, Slytherin,” then set the sorting hat on fire. Neville cried out in pain.
There was a large disturbance behind the death eaters and a small giant approached. Draco put the fire out on Neville’s head and watched amazed that Neville pulled the sword of Gryffindor out of the burnt hat.
“Neville! Kill the snake!” Draco shouted diving to the side as the snake lunged towards them. Fighting broke out all around them. Draco and Neville defended each other as they were backed into the castle.
Draco watched as his mother worked her way towards him, only deflecting spells. He couldn’t help but also work his way towards her. They sheltered in an alcove for a moment.
“Draco!” Narcissa clutched him to her. He returned her fierce embrace.
“Mother!” he kept an eye out for any attackers. She pulled away allowing him to see her sunken features and dark circles under her eyes.
“I thought I’d never see you again,” he smiled at her.
“Me either. Let’s finish this. Help me fight mother,” Draco held her shoulders searching her face. She nodded and peered around the edge of their alcove, “Now!”
They jumped out of the alcove and defended Hogwarts. Some members of the Order hesitated when they saw Draco and Narcissa working together against some death eaters but accepted it.
Draco and Narcissa watched the death eaters fall and the final fights playing out. Voldemort was fighting McGonagall, Slughorn, and Kingsley. Bellatrix was fighting Hermione, Luna, and Ginny. Ginny missed death by a mere inch. Molly Weasley barrelled forward shouting, “Not my daughter you BITCH,”
Draco never thought he’d see someone actually explode, but that is how his aunt met her end. Voldemort became enraged and turned on Molly. That’s when Harry revealed himself.
“Harry!” Draco breathed as Harry cast his shield charm protecting Molly.
“There are no more Horcruxes. It's just you and me now, Riddle. Neither can live while the other survives, and one of us is about to leave for good."
Lord Voldemort: "One of us? You think it will be you, do you, the boy who has survived by accident, and because Dumbledore was pulling the strings?"
Harry revealed how he was protected and had died to save everyone from Voldemort. Draco couldn’t focus on their words. He could only watch Harry as he faced the most dangerous wizard for the final time.
“Expelliarmus!“ “Avada Kedavra!“ red met green in a fantastic light display. The red overpowered the green and Voldemort was struck dead. His body fell to the floor and moved no more.
Draco rushed to Harry's side after the shocked pause lead to cheers and applause. Spinning Harry towards him, they embraced tightly.
Harry pulled away slightly, “Draco…” their eyes met. He crashed his lips to Draco’s, neither caring that everyone was staring.
Ron, Hermione and Neville were the first to break into smiles. Ron clapped Harry on the shoulder with a friendly, “Congratulations mate!“
Everyone else took that as their que to continue the celebrations. Harry and Draco broke their kiss and blushed furiously but remained in each other's arms. Narcissa smiled with a confused expression. She approached the two and embraced Harry.
“Thank you for saving my son,” she let go and embraced Draco again.
“Thank you for saving me,” Harry said to her. Several people came over and clapped Harry on the back or shook his hand.
“You must be exhausted Harry,” Hermione commented after a few minutes, “You should get some rest.” she tugged his arm to pull him towards the stairs. Narcissa was in conversation with Kingsley.
“I have one more thing to do.” sluggishly they trooped up the stairs to the head master’s office. The stone gargoyle was broken and scattered across the hall way.
“Can I go in?” Harry asked the gargoyle’s head that lay at the bottom of the steps.
“Go right ahead,” it's replied in a bemused tone.
Clapping greeted them at the top of the stairs. All the portraits were awake and smiling in applause. Harry looked to Dumbledore.
“It's done sir.” Harry said. Dumbledore nodded and smiled. Eyes twinkling with tears. Turning to Snape he said, “Thank you. You were very brave even to the end.” Snape nodded briefly but with a hint of a smile.
Draco looked around at all the congratulating head masters. He'd never seen them awake. Watching Harry speak with his godfather warmed him.
“Severus,” Draco started, “Thank you for your bravery.”
“Don't.” Snape said sharply, “I don't want that fame or glory.”
“You'll be painted as a Death Eater spy that betrayed the order-” Draco argued.
“It doesn't matter. Just… take care of yourself” Snape interrupted. There was a quiet pause as Snape noticed Draco holding Harry's hand, “And him… he has a perchance for trouble.” Snape gave Harry a pointed glare. Harry smiled broadly.
“Yes, sir!” Draco replied smirking at Harry.
“I could sleep for a week,” Harry sighed in exhaustion as he, Ron, Hermione, and Draco left the headmaster's office.
“Draco,” Narcissa stood at the bottom of the staircase leading to the headmaster’s office. Her eyes were bright, “I spoke with Mr. Shacklebolt, who is working as interim Minister of Magic,”
Draco was nervous for a moment, “Are you being detained?”
“For the time, yes. He said I could say good bye to you.” She hugged him again, “Your father has been arrested and will be tried with the other death eaters,” she shivered.
“I won’t let you be arrested, Mrs. Malfoy,” Harry said determinedly. He was practically dead on his feet but looked like he was about the charge forward and find Kingsley right now.
“Harry,” Draco said calmly, “They are only detaining her. Besides you need to get some rest. There will be time to figure this out,”
“I agree. I do not bear the mark, so my arrest won’t be immediate,” Narcissa stated rolling up her left sleeve.
“Can I have a moment?” Draco asked Harry. Harry nodded and spoke with Ron and Hermione at the end of the hallway “I didn't do it you know.” he whispered.
“Didn't do what?“ she paused for a moment looking to Hermione, “You didn't hurt her.” she smiled, “But he-”
“I lied” Draco interrupted with a smug smile, “I lied to the Dark Lord and lived to tell the tale,”
“That's quite some talent,” Kingsley Shacklebolt approached the group slowly but calmly. Nodding to Narcissa he addressed Draco, “Why did you lie to him?“
“It was to save me,” Hermione said stood beside Narcissa, everyone had followed Kingsley down the hallway, “If not for Draco's bravery I would have been… subjected to Fenrir Greyback.”
Kingsley grimaced at the mention, “You are a known Death Eater-”
“Turned traitor,” Harry interrupted.
“Yes,” Kingsley answered slowly watched Harry hold Draco's hand. “How are you still alive? Traitors are punished with a long and painful death,”
“I swore an Unbreakable Vow to Harry,” Draco replied, “I swore my fealty to him,” Kingsley raised his eyebrows at this.
“I was able to stop the punishment through the Dark Mark.” Harry answered.
“Well then,” Kingsley eased, “That's one mystery solved.” smiling he clapped Harry and Draco on the shoulders, “Congratulations. Get some rest. We'll speak later for testimonies. Narcissa, meet me in the Great Hall when you are done here.” Kingsley excused himself.
“I do have a question…” Narcissa started, “When did this start?“ she waved at Draco and Harry leaning against each other holding hands.
“Yeah I'd like to know too,” Ron smirked at the two of them. Both blushed furiously.
