Harmonia Nectere Passus"
Draco whispered, eyes shut tightly.
"Harmonia Nectere Passus.."
He slowly opened his eyes and revealed the colorless grey in his eyes.
His breath became quicker as he placed his pale hand on the cabinet. He shut his eyes and tried again.
"Harmonia Nectere Passus"
He took in a shaky breath
"Harmonia Nectere Passus"
Draco opened his eyes for the second time, to see the cabinet the exact same as it had been a few weeks before he had even come to Hogwarts.
Draco let out a small crying noise, but quickly regained composure.
He set his hand on his forehead, and tried to wipe away the tears he didn't want to form.
"H-harmonia Necte-"
Draco was in the middle of the spell, when he heard the room of requirement's door open. It was the unmistakable noise of a large stone wall slowly cracking in half. Draco took out his wand, and slipped under a large table covered in other sorts of assorted rubbish.
"Harry? Are you sure he's in here?"
Said girlish voice Draco could Identify as the Granger girl.
"Positive."
It was Potter.
Potter, Weasley, and Granger were looking for something in here.
Draco had a hunch of what, or who, they were looking for.
Draco scooted back further behind the desk, almost bumping into an old broken gargoyle and knocking it over.
"Harry, Really. I think this map is starting to become faulty. It's quite old.
"It's not, Hermione. Remember Peter Pettigrew? The map detects everything, and it's not ever wrong."
"Yes, well, he was supposed to be dead, wasn't he?"
Draco clasped his hand over his mouth when he saw the shoes belonging to Granger about 4 feet in front of him.
"Honestly,"
Weasley came up from behind her
"How do we not know Malfoy's dead already? Looks ill, he does."
He laughed at his own little joke.
"Now isn't time for joking, Ronald!"
Granger sounded agitated.
Weasley whispered something to Potter, but Draco couldn't quite make it out.
He saw the shoes of Weasley and Granger slowly disappear, but was greeted by a new pair. He recognized the white trainers which belonged to Potter.
He slowly walked around the table, and neared the cabinet. Draco held the wand cuadioudly in front of him, getting ready to hex Potter if he had any ideas. Potter held out his wand to the cabinet, and whispered a spell Draco couldn't hear. The cabinet swung open, and revealed the open, hollow inside. Potter seemed unfazed, and closed the cabinet door. He continued to walk, and followed after his friends. Draco made sure the three were gone, and slid out from under the table. He kept his wand in hand, and haistly walked out of the room of requirement. Draco reached sight of the door when he heard the familiar voices.
"I told you Harry! He isn't going to be in here! He's probably in the Slytherin dormitories!"
He saw the back of Granger's head, as she was facing Potter and Weasley.
"I'm telling you, Hermione. He's definitely in here, if can't just disappear out of Hogwarts. He probably heard us and left."
Draco didn't feel like sticking around to see how the rest of the confersation would end. He started to jog, making not much noise, and tried to make it to the door.
"Come on. Let's just go. We have Potions next anyway. He'll probably be there."
"Like that'll make anyone feel better.."
He heard their footsteps walking towards the door.
"Why would the sort like Malfoy come here anyway? Wouldn't he get help from all his croonies?"
"Maybe the thing Harry said he needed to mend is in here?"
Draco's heart started to beat faster. How did they know he needed to mend something? Had he said something on the train that Potter heard? Draco stopped running and dipped behind some shelves.
"Hold on Harry, check the map. If Malfoy's name isn't on the map, then he should still be in here."
"Brilliant Hermione! Brilliant!"
Draco heard shuffling of papers, and the incantation,
"I solemnly swear I am up to know good."
And more shuffling papers.
"Malfoy isn't on the map, and neither are we."
"Then he should still be in here.."
