STONE'S THROW
IN THE DARK [part two]
Harry/Draco. PG.
By Texas

[BLACKOUT. Picture returns as a ritualistic meeting around a campfire which can only belong to DEATHEATERS]
LORD VOLDEMORT
[his back is to the flames and the INNER CIRCLE present] Your son, Lucius, is going to be a problem.
LUCIUS MALFOY
My lord, I-
LORD VOLDEMORT
Silence. I didn't ask for excuses or half-witted ideas from a simpering idiot. Draco Malfoy may bear the Dark Mark of allegiance, but he is no more of a follower than Severus Snape.
[Several hisses are evoked at the sound of SEVERUS SNAPE's name. LORD VOLDEMORT waits before continuing.]
LORD VOLDEMORT
However. Despite his lack of devotion to our side, he will still prove useful. If Draco is friends with Harry Potter (VOLDEMORT takes this moment to sneer), then Harry will eventually come for him. And when he does...
[The fire explodes in a fury of sparks and flame, catching on some DEATHEATER's robes.
VOLDEMORT watches with grim amusement. Cheering is heard at the violent display.]
[BLACKOUT. Picture returns in the ORDER OF PHOENIX camp, focused on HERMIONE GRANGER and FRED WEASLEY.]
HERMIONE GRANGER
I’m not sure this is such a good idea, Fred. We can’t talk him out of going — you know how Ron is. But there has to be some other way.
FRED WEASLEY
Hermione, Ron’s my brother, and I don’t want him to go anymore than you do. I’ve already lost Percy and (FRED’s voice breaks) George. Watching him die was like seeing myself hit the ground. I can’t stand to lose another brother to this Goddamn war. But Ron is stubborn, and the more we try and talk him out of it, the more he’ll go. All we can do is keep him safe.
HERMIONE GRANGER
Safe would be not letting him go!
FRED WEASLEY
Safe would be me going with him.
HERMIONE GRANGER
Fred, you can’t!
FRED WEASLEY
I can. I’m going. I can’t just let my little brother go out there like that. We all know he’s hopeless at DADA and sneaking around. I’m the last half of the Weasley Duo, the next best thing to a Marauder.
HERMIONE GRANGER
Ron won’t let you go with him, Fred.
FRED WEASLEY
He won’t know that I’m going.
[PICTURE CHANGES to focus on HARRY POTTER, leaning over a table shabbily constructed in his tent.]
HARRY POTTER
[mumbling to himself while staring at a faded map] It’s not possible for us to go around the hill on this side’ or this side’ which leaves us with—
[CLOSEUP of the MAP. PAN to HARRY POTTER standing in the doorway to his tent, staring
out at the HILLTOP.]
HARRY POTTER
If we have the upper ground, we’ll be at an advantage. But how do we get up there without opening ourselves up to long distance assault? We’d be sitting ducks up there’
REMUS LUPIN
The hilltop does have it’s disadvantages. Something I thought we should consider, Harry...
HARRY POTTER
[turns to face REMUS] Yes?
REMUS LUPIN
Tomorrow is All Hallows Eve. And a full moon.
HARRY POTTER
Yes of course. The enhanced magical ability might help us out a bit, but a full moon Remus? They’d see us a mile away.
REMUS LUPIN
I was referring more to my… non-voluntary Animagus form.
HARRY POTTER
Oh.. Ohhh! [realization dawns on HARRY’s war-weary face] What are you suggesting, Remus?
REMUS LUPIN
Perhaps a distraction would allow you to take the hill. Maybe one of your father’s old possessions would help you?
[BOTH look over at a battered trunk at the foot of HARRY’s cot.]
[BLACKOUT. A weak light starts to glow somewhere near the center of the screen. RON’s face
appears in the meager light of a poorly cast ‘Lumos’]
RON WEASLEY
[hovering over a DIARY. Closer inspection reveals it to be HARRY’s]. Father, it has been many years since the first time I saw Draco Malfoy on a stool at Madame Malkins’
[CAMERA flashes images of Malkin’s, and continues in FLASHBACK mode]
RON WEASLEY [ V.O.]
The years have been good to him. Very good. I catch myself staring in class, costing us House points left and right. I’m sure you remember Lucius Malfoy, and know him to be a DeathEater. But Draco is nothing like him! Yesterday, he looked at me at breakfast, all the way across the Great Hall. Like a tug on my mind, I knew that he was looking, and looked up to catch his eye. And he winked. I can’t explain to you what that does to me. I only hope that he is not playing with me, that he doesn’t think he’s going to bag the Boy Who Lived.
[RON pauses, then turns a page.]
RON WEASLEY [V.O.]
Father, I am writing this to you in the bleak light of the dungeons. The Slytherin dungeons. Draco is sleeping beside me, in his bed. I’m in his bed. I don’t want to leave his bed. He love, De, Dad. All the teasing, the plotting, the small hexes that he threw at me all those years was his way of showing that he had a little school boy crush. It scares me to think that I love him back. Professor Dumbledore (who tells me to call him Albus now, but I can’t bring myself to do it) is organizing the Order of the Phoenix, a strong council built to destroy Voldemort and his evil empire. I feel guilty keeping this secret from Draco, but because of who his father is, I cannot tell him. He would never intentionally let out our secret, but he isn’t strong enough to resist torture, to resist Imperio like I can. I worry that this war will split us apart. Even though he isn’t a Death Eater, he will have no choice other than to go to his father, the monster. Professor Dumbledore cannot do anything about it. If he leaves, it will break my heart.
[PICTURES CHANGE to show the camps at midnight, some sleeping, some plotting. Image appears to be quite old. ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is quiet and distraught, sobbing onto one another’s shoulders.]
RON WEASLEY [V.O.]
Father, Albus Dumbledore died today. He died at the hands of Peter Pettigrew, the man that betrayed you. We lost two Weasleys in the same battle. Percy and George were in a rage at the fall of Dumbledore and they launched themselves against Pettigrew, who has the upper hand, so to speak, with a magical hand Voldemort bestowed upon him that allows him to perform wandless magic. Such a monster does not deserve such a gift. Pettigrew died, I can say, at the hands of George Weasley. You would have been proud to know George, he was like a Marauder. Percy failed to realize that people do not play by the book out here — the Death Eaters have no wizarding honor, a bizarre trait of a group supposed to be the elite purebloods. George was brilliant. Pettigrew snapped his wand and George thrust the broken stub right through Pettigrew’s neck. To be close enough to do that, however— I wept openly on the battlefield, surrounded by the dead men who had offered their lives to keep me alive. Again. Will I ever be in a place without suffering? The Death Eaters have Draco now, and with him, his special abilities. I only hope that we can get him back— we need him. I need him. I love him.
[RON flips through the pages of the book, but the rest are blank. RON casts the book aside.]
RON WEASLEY
Damnit, Harry, what is his ability?!
[HERMIONE appears in the entrance way to the tent.]
HERMIONE GRANGER
Ron’ They’ve found you a team.
RON WEASLEY
[climbs to his feet] That’s good. I guess I better get going. Have to brief them and then, you know’ Leave.
HERMIONE GRANGER
[voice cracks] Ron, please don’t. Just wait and we’ll all do battle on the field. Please’
RON WEASLEY
[holds HERMIONE close to him] Sweet, sweet ‘Mione, I don’t want us to do battle on the field. If we just go now, we can avoid the whole thing. You must understand.
HERMIONE GRANGER
I know, I understand. But you better come back.
RON WEASLEY
Of course I will.
HERMIONE GRANGER
[sniffs] I love you, Ron. I couldn’t stand it if you didn’t come back for me.
[RON embraces HERMIONE as the picture fades to reveal FRED, outside the tent pointing a wand at his face.]
FRED WEASLEY
Visagus Modifa. [FRED’s face morphs into the face of another wizard.] You will come back, little brother. Even if it means my life.
