Prologue

"You'll die Harry! We need to get help!" Ron said to Harry urgently.

"Ron it's too dangerous to go out there!" Harry told Ron cringing with pain. Silence hung between them.

"Can't hide forever Harry. Your parents couldn't hide and neither can you." Lucius Malfoy said with laughter in his voice.

"Yes, you managed to dodge my Master for many years, but today is the day of your downfall. I will bring you to him and he will be delighted! I will be his most deserving servant not the brat Bellatrix Lestrange!" Draco Malfoy's father said cruelly to Harry.

"Harry he'll find us! I have to make a diversion! Try to run for it!"

"Ron you can't, Lucius Malfoy could kill you! And I am not entering my 6th year of Hogwarts alone! How about--- Nooo!" Harry screamed out, but not before he could stop Ron from jumping out of their hiding place and screaming at Lucius.

"No Ron, you'll die." Harry whimpered to himself. " God what have I done?" Harry kept on asking himself. Harry's nerves stopped when he heard is friend give out a painful scream. Harry got up facing the back of Lucius Malfoy, a death eater. Harry had never felt such hate inside of him as he did now.

He got out his wand and cried out loudly and clearly, "AVADA KADAVRA!!!" Lucius fell screaming and writhing and somehow Harry managed to laugh as if it were a joke.

"Die you heartless bastard!" Harry called out laughing before running to Ron's side.

"Ron are you okay?" Harry said softly as he looked into Ron's eyes expecting to see pain and agony, but triumph because with their teamwork they had killed Lucius Malfoy. Instead of seeing these feelings in Ron's eyes Harry saw disappointment.

"Why Harry, why?! You didn't have to kill him! For the rest of your like you'll be known as a murderer! You didn't have to Harry you really didn't have to! I'm going to die anyways." Ronald Weasly cried in frustration at his closest friend. Suddenly Harry felt ashamed and scared of what he had done.

"Harry is that Ron?" An alarmingly loud voice said behind him. Harry slowly nodded his head.

"Can you save him Professor Lupin? Will he die?" Harry asked quietly tears starting to fill his eyes.

"Maybe Harry, but I'll need your help." Remus Lupin replied with sadness in his eyes.

"Potter what do you think happened to your remedy potion?" Severus Snape sneered at Harry coldly looking down at his cauldron filled with some green substance that gave off a stench of socks that had been worn many times without wash.

"I-uh..I dunno." Harry answered with tiredness. All the Slytherins watching with grins on their faces because Harry Potter was getting into trouble with Snape.

"20 points from Gryffindor!" Professor Snape belched out coldly.

"I can't believe Professor Snape took 20 points from us! The cruel horrible monster! Can you believe him? I mean even after he knows what happened last year! I mean with Ron in a coma and all!" Hermione said starting to cry.

"Hermione please don't start. I had a dream about what happened just now, I don't need another reminder." Harry said with exasperation in his voice.

"Sorry Harry, but I miss Ron. I even miss getting into fights with him! And I know that you miss him too. I'm sorry you had to watch him almost die- it's" Hermione's voice faltered and she started to cry again. Harry looked at her with disgust and ran down the corridor not wanting to hear anymore.

"Potter where are you going? Do you believe that my father died accidentally? That old geezer Dumbledore says it was a tragic loss, but I bet you were laughing with him when my father was found dead!" Draco Malfoy hissed at Harry with hatred in his voice that had been much practiced. Malfoy knew that Harry was the one who was to be blamed for his father's death. Draco wanted him to feel guilty of what he'd done. Though in his thoughts Draco was greatly relieved of his father's absence in his life. Lucius Malfoy had not been his real father, but he was Narcissa's real son. Lucius had stung Draco with many hateful words and had abused him, he was happy his stepfather was gone. He thanked Potter in his head, but did not say anything aloud for his reputations sake.

"Get some rest Potter, you look like hell." Draco said suddenly without any coldness. At these words both Harry and Draco were surprised. Draco turned away not wanting Harry to see the redness flowing in his cheeks.

"Yeah thanks, I will Malfoy." Harry called to Draco's back.
