Can this be?
By Lady miata


Harry and Draco?

Privet drive, end of the street Harry's head.

He's dead. Professor Dumbledore is dead. How can this be? My mentor. Snape killed him. I thought he was on our side. I finally trusted him, and then he betrayed us. He will pay!
Someone is following me, I can feel it, and this time it isn't the order. I walk to the park, it's dark and no witnesses.

"Come out, come out, mouse!" I say.
Draco Malfoy, I thought so.
"Come to kill me now, I won't be so easy."
"I didn't kill him, and professor Snape didn't want to. This is for you." He hands me a letter.

The writing looks familiar

Harry

You are probably wondering what happened.
Severus Snape didn't kill me! Ok, he did but only because I told him to.
I was dying anyway. The poison I drank would have killed me in 5 hours.
I asked Severus to kill me so Draco would still have his innocence and Severus his freedom. If I didn't do what I did, others would be dead.

Forgive them, and get Voldemort, you are ready and he will still be celebrating. You can do it.

Albus Dumbledore

Ps. Give Draco some tea, he needs it.

The bastard! If he thinks I would forgive Snape and Draco just like that…

"Malfoy! What are you still doing here?" I yell
"I wish to help" he says, "Professor Snape is captured, they want to kill him for treason. He saved my life."
So Dumbledore died for nothing. I reread the letter. No, he died to save Draco.

The thoughts are overwhelming me:

Snape should die
He saved my life, multiple times.
He hated me.
He saved me because he owed my father's life.
My father never tried to be nice to him
He didn't either
He still saved me, regardless of the motives.
He also made my life a living hell.
I never gave him a chance
I don't want to
Oh that's mature
What to do?

'get Voldemort, you are ready and he will still be celebrating.'
The opportunity is here.
Defeat Voldemort and live my life.

"Fine, Malfoy where is Voldy, hiding out now?"
"Voldy?"
"Lord Voldemort seemed too noble for such a Riddle, don't you think?"
Draco is laughing, I never saw him laugh before, it's funny, I laugh too.

one week later,

We have been fighting for 3 days at day we retreat each get 6 hours sleep while the other fights who ever come near.
Me, Draco, Ron, Hermione, Cho, Bill, George, Fred and Ginny (I tried to stop her but she is so stubborn)
Neville is using all his herb knowledge to do on-battle-nursing
Charlie stole 3 dragons for air attack while we rest.
So far none are too far hurt.

Fighting side by side tells you what someone is like. Draco is one of the best fighters in the group. I can honestly say he is a friend. Ron and Hermione disagree, but they can't see. Draco is fighting against his family, that is heroic to me.

Two weeks fighting and finally, His 'Lordship' appears.

The final battle. He knows it and I know it. It lasts for 3 hours, when suddenly Draco enters the hall we are fighting in.
"Traitor!" I hear Voldemort say, just before he shoots the Avada Kedavra curse towards him.
I don't know why (maybe it's the stupid part, Snape keeps mentioning), but I jump in front of Draco to save him.
I fall, I see Voldemort laugh. He thinks I'm dead. I try grabbing my wand without making a sound…
I point at Voldemort…
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"…
I check his pulse…
He's dead…
I cry out…
"VICTORY"

"How can this be?"
I turn to look at the person who spoke. Draco looks at me in shock.
"How can what be?" I ask
"You survived the same spell he died of."
"That is the power of love" I remember Dumbledore's words on the matter
"Ginny?"
"NO, Friendship. I saved you for the love to a friend; it must have had the same affect as my mother's love." Cheer is still in my voice.
"you think I'm a friend."
"After these 2 weeks, yes. Now where is Snape?"
