Chapter 32
Harry set down his quill, closed his eyes and massaged his temples.
The part of him that used to go raring off into danger without a thought had gone silent, was that because he now believed he had worth or because he was responsible for the same delivery of his daughter whom they had already decided to name a Malfoy heiress?
Whatever the reason Harry was torn, torn between ignoring Voldemort’s letter and considering the offer.
According to Snape it wasn’t even charmed to inform the writer of either its delivery or it’s being opened forth purpose of being read by the intended recipient.
Voldemort hadn’t even used a tracking spell to determine his location...
That didn’t mean that the man could be trusted.
Whether it was true that his relationship with Draco had somehow kept him from seeing into the Dark Lord’s was debatable. Perhaps, Voldemort really had been blocking him out after his head game hadn’t gotten him the prophecy last June.
Harry growled under his breath, rather that trick of Voldemort’s had caused the death of the very person that a very rather younger version of himself had gone in hopes of rescuing. Faked visions of Sirius tortured with the Cruciatus for a prophecy he could never have touched had in the end resulted in Sirius dying by falling through the Veil into a strange sort of unnatural death.
Draco must have gotten unnerved by his silence and lack of quill scratching...
His fiancé looked up frowning, “What’s the matter? Potions problem?”
Harry snorted, “I’m supposed to be revising for Remus’ charms assignment...I was just distracted by that letter.”
“Oh,” Draco said pulling down his own quill, “have you read it yet?”
“No,” Harry said sullenly as he crossed his arms defiantly, “I’m still torn about how to handle Him.”
“Well father always said keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Or was it the enemy of my enemy is my ally? Can’t recall, he may have told me both. Either way, we’ve got Dumbledore who wants us separated and Iris aborted on one hand. On the other is the Dark Lord who is interested in an alliance.” Draco held up his hands in mockery of a scale. “What incentive does the bloody headmaster offer? That’s easy: nothing. The Dark Lord however is offering peace between you as well as my mad aunt who killed your godfather and the man responsible for your parents being betrayed to their death.”
“I know!” Harry said in a flash of temper, “I know all that rot! It’s just which of them can I really trust? Both wanted my death, Dumbledore to destroy Voldemort once and for all, while Voldemort wasn’t me dead because of some stupid prophecy that he’s only heard part of!”
Draco reached to gently squeeze Harry’s hand, “I think you should meet in a neutral place to see if he’s serious. Perhaps, Severus can join us as a neutral party. If he is serious then demand an Unbreakable Vow, I’ll prewrite it with Mother and Aunt Andromeda to ensure that it’s impossible to find a way to hurt or attack us. If it’s a trap, then we’ll just have house elves to whisk us away.”
“But what if they know about the baby...about Iris?” Harry said covering his stomach protectively.
Draco snorted, “The family tapestry hung in my private parlour, no one had any reason to go there but I had Dobby fix it so it couldn’t be seen. I redecorated my room when I turned fourteen but I never moved out of the Nursery Wing into the family wing. Honestly it was because the room father wanted for me was next door to mother’s and I did not want to chance overhearing something...”
Harry giggled, “Like Remus refusing to sleep near us?”
Draco coughed, “Something like that...”
Harry said quietly, returning to their previous discussion, “But I can’t meet with Him...”
Draco frowned, “Why?”
“This isn’t like one of my dangerous stunts like the rescue of the Philosopher’s stone, the Chamber of Secrets or even the Hungarian Horntail. I’ve got responsibilities now; I can’t put myself in danger like before because I have to protect Iris...”
A smile beamed across Draco’s face, “So no tearing off to recklessly challenge the Dark Lord?”
Harry pouted, “I didn’t do that Fourth Year! He had me kidnapped that time, I was trying to escape I’ll have you know. As for last year, he tricked me into thinking he was torturing Sirius.”
Draco brought Harry’s hand to his lips, “Hush now, I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m proud of you. A third front means that we can toss out previous plans of either party to vanquish the other. I don’t have to assassinate Dumbledore and you don’t have to challenge the Dark Lord.”
That was where Remus found them when he came to check on them before lunch.
XooooooX
Severus, Remus and Andromeda were discussing Voldemort’s overture to Harry...
“You really don’t think Harry will consider meeting with Voldemort do you?” Remus frowned.
“We can’t throw our support behind Dumbledore because he wants Harry to abort his daughter and break up with Draco...” Andromeda snorted.
“I have personally renounced the Order...” Remus muttered
“Nymphadora has agreed to stay in as a sort of spy.” Andromeda said reluctantly, “It took some shouting matches before she agreed that Dumbledore had gone too far and was likely crazy...”
“I can only hold the Dark Lord off so long, I am unsure how much he trusts me after he realised that I lied about Draco.” Severus sighed.
“Perhaps we can meet at a neutral location like a Prince property and Draco can represent Harry?” Andromeda offered.
Neither Severus nor Remus liked the idea but it was the best option...
Andromeda wasn’t about to let Harry out of the Hall especially not in his condition...
It was only slightly less dangerous to let Draco out of the Hall...
Andromeda knew that the Hall was safe because of the Fidelus charm but she planned to cast a similar spell that could protect a person from being tracked via scrying or even tracking charms which she fully intended to offer to convince Harry that Draco would be very safe.
She would of course accompany Draco as would Severus that is if her nephew and Harry agreed to this plan of hers...
Severus had filed paperwork with the Department of Education to have Harry and Draco take their exams there in July after Dumbledore was dead and buried so they would be exempt from the exams at Hogwarts.
It would also allow Draco to study ahead, he fully intended to have Draco sit his Potions NEWT at that time so his godson could begin his Potions Mastery as well as take over his First Year students in the fall.
Draco had informed him last year that he fully intended to apply for an apprenticeship in Potions and Severus had promised to arrange it. Not that he had actually informed Draco that he would be taking him on as an apprentice in so many words but he wasn’t about to trust anyone else with his godson...

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
