Draco's Evil Plan
Harry Potter doesn't get surprised often; he thought that his life was a simple and predictable one; (well as simple as it can be with a madman trying to kill him every year that is!) Even Voldemort is predictable with his timely attacks at the end of his each year, having his life threatened and nearly dieing each year you would think his life would be a little less predictable, but oh no! So no; after 17 years, of dealing with so much drama Harry doesn't get surprised often.
However, he had the biggest shock of his life when Snape arrived at 12 Grimmauld place with Draco Malfoy and an even amazing confession. He proved by pensive memory that he killed on Dumbledore's order so Malfoy wouldn't have to become a killer and Snape can still keep his status as a spy.
He nearly had a heart attack when Malfoy stopped insulting them and started to be almost civil to them, and the even bigger shock came when Malfoy and Hermione bonded over books and became almost friends!! (Harry has no idea how such a travesty could happen!)
But you see Harry thought himself as a clever young men, he knew that it was a big elaborate EVIL plan. Malfoy was plotting to do something, he didn't know what yet but he was going to find out soon!
"Morning Potter would you like some coffee?" asked Draco as he entered the kitchen.
"Ha! That's your plan isn't it? Your going to poison the drink aren't you? I'm on to you" responded an almost hysterical Harry.
Draco wasn't sure as to how to respond to that so he just took his bagel and his coffee and as he was going out of the door he whispered in to Harry's ear "That's right Harry, constant vigilance" and walked off.
Harry shivered and knew that Draco was just waiting for him to let his guard down so he has to be alert all the time, "Don't call me Harry" he mumbled.
"Who are you talking to Harry?"
Harry turned around "oh good morning, Hermione, what are you up to today?" he asked.
"I don't know, I think I'll do some research with Draco" she replied as she made tea. "Draco?! Since when Malfoy is Draco?!" he asked.
"Since he became my friend, and Harry don't you think you are acting a tad irrational, I mean even Ron has kind of accepted Draco" she asked exasperatedly.
"Never! Don't you see this is exactly what he wants, he wants us to let our guard down and then he's going to strike like the snake he is"
Hermione just huffed as she left the kitchen. Harry was quite disgusted that even after 6th year she didn't believe him!
The rest of the day past slowly for Harry, Hermione was doing research with 'Draco' and Ron was helping out the twins with their shipments or something Harry really wasn't paying any attention because by then Malfoy came into the room and was giving him looks that was sending shiver down his spines, he just knew Malfoy was thinking bad thoughts.
Harry bored with his thoughts realised that the house was really quite; maybe this is a good time to do some good old fashion investigating (and not at all snooping like Hermione implied). Harry found Malfoy alone in the library reading, "Where's Hermione? What did you do to her?" Harry was trying to look at the title of the book without rousing suspicion, if he could see what Malfoy was researching then he could figure out his plans.
"She's in the kitchen potter! Stop acting like an idiot!" answered Malfoy in a bored tone even without looking up from his book. Harry wasn't surprised at the absence of the sneer, he knew it was part of whatever plan Malfoy was concocting.
He found Hermione in the kitchen, "Hey Harry, you hungry? I'm making sandwiches" she pushed the plate towards him.
Harry took one "Any progress in the research?"
"Well we started looking at how we can destroy the horcruxes, Draco suggested that we need a strong magical corrosive to destroy them, like a magical fire" she answered.
"Oh well if DRACO suggested it, it must be true" said Harry, he was quite sick of how much everyone was in love with the blonde.
"Oh for god's sake, Harry! He is on our side and he can be quite civil if you try to actually talk to him rather than accusing him, just because you're obsessed with him" her voice trailed off as she walked out of the kitchen.
Harry couldn't understand why she couldn't see it, and she was supposed to be the cleverest witch of their age.
Harry was getting quite frustrated with how everybody just looked at him like he was crazy whenever he mentioned Malfoy and his plans; Moony even patted his head as if thinking he needed therapy. They are the one's that are stupid if they cant see what Malfoy is up to and when it comes to bite them in the ass they better not come and look at me to save them all again thought Harry quite bitterly.
"There you are potter, sulking again?" said Draco as he came into the room.
"Shut up, Malfoy and I don't sulk" he turned to see Malfoy lounging in the bed, that's another thing that annoyed Harry, he was the one forced to share a room with Malfoy.
"Look Potter, I'm sick of you looking at me like some kind of criminal" Malfoy was scowling.
"Maybe because you one" mumbled Harry, he still couldn't forgive Malfoy for Dumbledore's death. He was quite taken aback with the emotion flittering across Malfoy's eyes, he looked almost hurt? 'Nah! Must have been a trick of the light' Harry thought as he sneaked another look, Malfoy was looking at him with almost dull grey eyes.
"Why don't you come out and say it potter? What is this great evil plan I'm supposed to devising hmm?" Malfoy was back to smirking.
"Well you would be an expert at that wouldn't you?" Harry watched as Malfoy visibly winced at Harry's snide tone before his face closing up.
"Look you sanctimonious prick, I did what I did because I had no choice, it was the only way I could think of to save my family, maybe I went about it the wrong way but we all can't be heroes like you, can we potter? Now why don't you get off your high horse because I didn't ask for your forgiveness and nor do I want it" Malfoy finished with a vehement glare before storming out of the room.
Harry was astonished, and felt quite chastised he never thought to look at things from Malfoy's point of view.
'Maybe he has changed'
'Or maybe that's what he just want me to think'
Harry was thoroughly confused, on one hand he wanted to go with instinct but another part of him thought that may be Malfoy had valid reasons, so he did what he always does when he is in confusing situations, he went to Hermione.
Hermione was in the library by herself, reading a book as usual; she looked up as he came through the door and put the book down, "You ok Harry? Something wrong?"
Harry turned to face her, "What do you think of Malfoy? I mean seriously how did you just forgive him for all the years of taunts and just became his friend?"
"Harry, I didn't just forgive him, I talked to him and I realised why he behaves the way he does, it's just a front Harry, he's a Slytherin so he has to project the right image but that doesn't mean he believes those things, and I don't think Draco sees me as a friend" she looked quite pensive.
"How can you just believe him? Like you said he's a Slytherin, he could be lying to you! I mean its Malfoy!" Harry exclaimed.
"Exactly Harry, we always saw Malfoy, but we never tried to know Draco and they are different people Harry! At school he had to be Malfoy but when you get to know Draco you will realise how different he is" she said as she got up to leave.
"I don't want to get to know Draco" said Harry petulantly.
"I'm not asking you to become his best friend Harry, I'm just asking you to give him a chance and to give up that stupid idea of yours about some evil plan" she left the room after giving him a quite frustrated look.
The rest of the day Harry sat at the library thinking, no matter how much he wanted to deny it he realised that maybe he was a tad paranoid, and maybe he should give Malf-no 'Draco' a chance.
Harry was startled when he heard a grumbling noise and realised it was his stomach, he looked at the clock and realised it was nearly time for dinner. As he got up to leave the door opened and in walked Draco.
Draco just wanted to sit somewhere alone and read he really had nothing against the Weasleys its just there were so many of them and he still wasn't used to it yet. When he saw Harry he thought 'Great! another lecture from saint potter' so he just turned around to leave when a determined "Wait" came from Harry.
He turned to see Harry looking at him with almost resigned expression, "Look I realise that maybe I am being a bit unfair to you, and that maybe I should give you a chance" he said at last. 'No kidding' thought Draco but his face betrayed nothing.
Harry was a bit un-nerved by Draco's reaction, he looked almost bored so Harry tried again, "It's hard to forgive and forget but I'm willing to try if you are" he finished lamely.
Draco kept looking at him expectantly then gave a sneer at his direction, "Oh the joy, the great Harry Potter has decided to give me Draco Malfoy a chance!"
"In case you didn't get the memo potter I really don't care what you think about me, I have much more important things to think about; like a war, Voldemort, and keeping my family safe, so you keep out of my way and I'll keep out of your way so we can get out of this mess" finished Draco and left the room.
Harry was again stunned; he forgot all about the war and horcruxes, 'What am I doing? I should be working on how to fight Voldemort and not some imaginary plan I think Draco is or isn't planning.' Repeating that thought as a mantra Harry focused back on the matters much more important than Draco's evil plan.
