A/N – Just an idea I got while doing homework. Probably the funniest part of Deathly Hallows, and in the middle of a battle, no less. JK is a genius. From Draco's POV, just a short excerpt that I had lots of fun writing.

Utterly BemusedThe entrance hall was a scene of chaos. Spells soared back and forth, shouts filled the air; smoke, stone and bursts of light dazzled the senses.
On the upper landing of the marble staircase, Draco stared around at the mayhem, not knowing what to do.
Harry Potter, his enemy, had just saved his life, while the Death Eaters would have never done so. What had he gotten himself into?
As he thought, he received a blow to the head from behind, and fell forward. He rolled on his elbows and turned around to see the silver mask of a Death Eater leering over him. He scrambled away in fear. "Don't -"
The Death Eater pointed his wand at Draco.
"No!" Draco pleaded, "I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm Draco, I'm on your side!"
A red beam struck the Death Eater from the side, and he crumpled to the floor. Draco leapt to his feet, and spun around, beaming, looking for his savior. Nobody was nearby, and with a sinking feeling he thought he'd never knew who'd saved him – until a fist came out of nowhere and smashed into his face.
The Invisibility Cloak.
They rushed past him, and Ron's voice came from behind, "And that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!"
Draco fell down on top of the Death Eater, his mouth bleeding, utterly bemused.
A/N – Heh. Felt like writing it. Draco really grew on me during HBP and DH. I don't expect many reviews, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Hope you enjoyed it!
