Prologue
This Is It
ccc
Everybody had called them Unity Meetings, the meetings between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore had started arranging them at the start of sixth year in hopes of uniting the four houses of Hogwarts.
Or so everybody thought.
Few close friends and even fewer members of the faculty knew the truth. The truth was every Friday at six o' clock in the room of requirement, Harry and Draco would meet because of the impending war.
Not to say they didn't still have their occasional impromptu encounters as well. In fact, there were several. And they seemed to occur more and more frequently as their sixth year wore on. This did not happen at the suggestion of any of the faculty or friends for that matter. They happened because no matter what kind of relationship (or lack thereof) they had, Harry and Draco were drawn to each other. They met in corridors and in the library. They ran into each other by the lake and on the pitch. And on one occasion, they found themselves together in the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory.
Whatever the case, to Harry and Draco, the meetings meant change.
