On the train to Hogwarts, Draco stayed with the usual group of Slytherin students, while Neville was with a mix of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students. Blaise and Theodore noticed that Draco was distracted, they asked him how his break was, but Draco just said that it was the same as always. Pansy had been ignored by Draco, it had angered her, but she decided to ignore him back, thinking that would put him in his place; but all it did was make Draco relieved.
Draco wanted to talk to Neville right away, but, as one of the Prefects, if he was seen helping another house's student break curfew, he'd be in trouble; he would have to wait till the morning to talk to him. There was so much he had to tell him, he really hoped Neville wouldn't react badly to what he was going to tell him.
In the Great Hall, Draco could see that the Weasley siblings and Granger were uneasy, the twins weren't at the school anymore to make jokes to lighten up the Gryffindor table, and Neville was glancing at the group silently. Thomas poked at his food, his best friend Finnigan had been one of the students who's parents had kept them home, while Neville tried to talk to him as a roommate and friend, Dean just shrugged him off and told him he didn't feel like talking.
Neville knew that he was the friend that was only a friend because they shared a room, Ron had Harry,Dean had Seamus, he had only Luna and Draco, and they weren't in his house for him to talk to after curfew; though he did sometimes sneak out to see Draco, but that was going to be harder now. He looked over at Draco, he had missed him during the break, his gran had almost not let him come back to school and he stood up to her for the first time.
The students were still talking about how Harry had probably been killed, that Professor Snape had done it and run off to avoid Azkaban, only a few students questioned Dumbledore's involvement, with those loyal to him yelling back that Dumbledore was a good man, which in turn had temporary Headmistress McGonagal call for everyone to return to their houses. Umbridge was sitting at the table trying not to lash out, the Ministry was under a lot of stress from parents, and she missed the chance to be Headmistress.
All the students returned to their common rooms, Draco and the other Prefects walking the halls. The night was quiet and boring, not a single student was out of their beds, Draco even wandered near the kitchens to try and catch a Hufflepuff. He was about to head back to his room to get some sleep, when he heard some whispers, and decided to eavesdrop.
In one of the classrooms, McGonagal was talking to a couple Wizards, Draco didn't recognize them. “There are better places for us to talk...couldn't this have waited to be discussed off school grounds....” the Witch said in a hushed tone.
“We couldn't go to your office, to many paintings that have big mouths, anywhere else who knows who could be listening, this classroom is more ideal.” One of the men said. “We have a message from Dumbledore, he said if the boy isn't found dead or alive, we should assume what we feared and we failed to control the situation.”
Draco couldn't hear anything else, the door had been closed and a silencing charm set in place. Not wanting to be caught, knowing that something serious was happening, and he would have been Obliviated if he was seen. He really needed to find out what was going on, Draco knew he wouldn't be trusted, he wondered if Neville could find out.
In the morning, after breakfast in the Great Hall, Draco and Neville headed to Draco's Prefect room; there were no classes till the next morning. “So, how was your break?” Draco asked, sitting down on his bed.
Neville let out a groan and sat beside Draco. “My gran doesn't really like my attitude change, I actually stood up to her to be able to come back to school, and she slapped me across the face. She didn't like that I've suddenly got a back bone, but said it was good for what seems to be coming.” he leaned on Draco. “She said that its all well and good for me to finally start acting like a man, but don't I dare start talking back to her.” he closed his eyes. “I had to get a new wand, I accidentally stepped on my old one....she was so angry at me about that...it was my father's wand after all...” moving a hand to Draco's, he slowly reopened his eyes. “How was your break?”
“I have so much to tell you...” Draco put his free hand to his face. “Potter is alive and well.”
Eyes widening, Neville stared at Draco. “Wait, you saw Harry?”
“Yes, but..” Draco's voice trailed slightly. “He was at my home, it doesn't look like he was really abducted by Snape, rather he left with him.”
“Why would he leave school and go to your place willingly? He said You know who has come back, its safer for him to have been here. Unless he finds that danger better than Umbridge.” Neville played with Draco's fingers.
Draco squeezed Neville's hand tightly. “Do you really care about me? Are you sick of being treated poorly by your so called “friends”?” Draco looked into Neville's eyes.
Now Neville was getting a strange feeling from Draco, he stared back at him. “What is going on Draco, Harry left without telling anyone, not even Ron or Hermione, and they've been keeping to themselves since. I know he was acting odd since coming back to school, he wasn't himself, and he was pushing everyone away.”
“Well, Potter isn't who we all thought he was, it appears most of what we know about everything has been a lie.” Draco's eyes darkened. “It also means what happened to your parents was a casualty of that lie.”
