Chapter 3
Draco Malfoy felt the rumblings within the Castle. He had pulled away from his parents and ran back to help the fight as best as he could. He had not wanted to slink away, but as soon as his parents were far enough away to be safe, he broke free and ran. He sat further away from the rest of the crowd, fully aware that who he was disturbed others.
It was to his utter surprise that he looked up, when a hand touched his shoulder, to see Ron, Neville and Hermione looking down at him.
It was Ron who spoke first.
"That took balls, mate. Never seen Yaxley so pale, but thank you." Ron said, his hand out towards the Slytherin blond.
Draco eyed him nervously but shook it anyway, "Thank you, and I'm sorry... for everything." his eyes fell as he said it.
Hermione dropped to her knee, "You were there when it mattered, and I understand. You did not have the luxury of obliviating your parents and sending them off to Australia."
Draco's mouth dropped, first at the thought of what would have happened if he had tried, and then at the audacity of the girl who had actually done it.
Neville stood, "Besides mate, you had to deal with more threats on your side than we did. I couldn't imagine having to live with the snake."
"How can you be here, like this with me? After everything?" Draco asked tightly.
Ron looked at the others who merely nodded. "War has a way of changing things. There is no black or white, not clear lines drawn in the sand. Each of us in our own way succeeded and failed. I failed Harry by running away when he needed me the most." the last part came out in a bare whisper.
"I failed him by not paying enough attention when the snatchers took us, and many other times before." Hermione chimed in.
"I have failed many times, until he believed enough in me to make me believe in myself." Neville added.
Draco looked at all of them, and then smiled. The smile quickly faded as his mind was struck once more of a memory almost forgotten. "Professor Snape!"
All eyes widened and looked at him with a strange look.
"We have to find the professor before the stasis potion wears off... “Draco stated almost erratically.
"He is in the shrieking shack... but Draco... Harry, Ron and I saw him die." Hermione stated softly letting her hand fall to his shoulder, "We do need to go collect his body, and you can come with us if you like."
Draco stood up abruptly, "He is not dead, He took a potion last night in case, and it was a stasis potion that would not allow his soul to leave even if his body gave up. As long as we can restart his heart, and heal his wounds, he will recover. He has only hours left, it is good for twenty four hours only."
Neville took off immediately towards one of the many Aurors and Madam Pomfrey. Ron and Hermione both started walking, towards the shrieking shack, with Draco following.
Professor McGonagall had heard Neville talking with Madam Pomfrey and both matrons marched off behind the other students.
In the shrieking shack, Draco was shivering by the sight that greeted him... So much blood loss, and the hollow look out of obsidian eyes seemed to tear at his own sanity, but he held on to logic. Severus had told him about the potion, so someone would know.
Madam Pomfrey closed the wounds, Hermione dug into her never ending bag and produced two potions. "Blood replenishing and Dittany," She said as she handed them to the medi-witch.
Both were tipped up into the still throat of the professor, and then Madam Pomfrey sent a shock to the heart to restart it. Draco sighed when he heard the steady beating.
"Let’s get him back to the castle so he can rest." Professor McGonagall stated.
Ron stopped for just a moment, as his thoughts came crashing down.
"Where's Harry?"
Everyone froze.
"Somewhere in the castle I'm sure." Draco drawled, but the spite had all but fled his tone.
"I saw him slip out of the Great Hall earlier." Neville stated, "Looked like he was headed to the first floor."
Ron and Hermione looked at each other and nodded, "The Chamber." They said together. There was a sense of dread that passed over the ensemble of characters in the room. If Harry had left them all in search of solitude, it did not bode well in light of recent events. They all hurried back to the castle, burden in tow. The two matrons left to settle the Professor, while the four students ascended to the first floor. Neville and Draco were beside themselves, they had never been to the Chamber before. Ron was ready to speak the snake language, but they found the entrance open already. Ron and Hermione seemed to be the leaders as the other two gaped at the whole scene. The bones did not go over well with the notorious Malfoy sensibilities, but he managed to push through his disgust. Ron and Hermione gasped at the scene when they entered.
Neville and Draco stared.
"This is the dreaded Chamber of Secrets?" Draco asked obviously underwhelmed.
Ron looked back quickly before walking down the main walkway, "Didn't look like this earlier, something happened."
Once close enough to the lone sofa in the room, Draco was riveted on the spot. It was like seeing the sun for the first time. He was drawn closer to the slumbering savior. He was the only one who approached. Hermione, Ron and Neville found themselves unable to even step foot into the semi-circle.
Draco Malfoy approached Harry as if in a sleepy haze, the moment his hand touched the sleeve of the boy-who-lived, a silver mist floated around him and stole his breath and consciousness. The blond Slytherin seemed to float down and lay softly against the brunette.
Ron and Hermione mumbled, "Get Professor McGonagall... “They were dumbstruck and could not seem to move forward or retreat...
Neville took off running fast and casting an ascendio to get him to the top of the tunnel.
