Harry froze. Malfoy was staring at him, eyes still wet with tears. The Slytherin stood up slowly and turned around.

Harry reached for his wand, but Malfoy got his first. The Slytherin flicked his wand, and the door shut behind Harry.

"How much did you hear?"

"Enough."

Malfoy nodded once, and then did something unexpected. He walked swiftly over to Harry, and hugged him.

Harry froze, unsure of what to do.

"Help me," Malfoy begged.

Harry realised what this hug was. This was him showing that he never wanted to join the Dark side.

This was him holding onto light.
