I don't own Harry Potter.

This chapter isn't really much of Harry and Ginny. Sorry! It's coming. Don't worry.

Chapter 3

Harry ignored Ginny's questioning of his dream. He didn't want to think about it. After a couple more dreams, he was frightened enough to see Dumbledore.

"Yes, Harry?" Professor Dumbledore asked as the boy walked into his office.

Harry took a deep breath and told him of the dreams. "I don't know what to make of them. I can't tell if they're dreams or if Voldemort is using me."

Sadness filled the old man's eyes. "You have to consider the possibility of that, Harry. He knows your weakness of protecting your friends. It's another thing Voldemort never understood. It's possible he's trying to force you to go after him."

Fury filled the boy's face at the thought. "He might get what he wants, sir."

Dumbledore stood up. "No, Harry. Don't give in this time. You have me and the Order looking after you. Hogwarts is safe. Promise you won't let this get to you. Promise you won't go after him."

Their eyes met and a silent promise was made. Harry left with little comfort. He knew he was protected, in more ways than just people watching over him. However, what about the people he cared about? What about the Order themselves? How many more people would die trying to save his life? People, innocent people, were dying at the hands of the Death Eaters.

Lost in thought, Harry slammed into someone. Both fell to the ground and stood back up to face each other. It was Malfoy.

"Sorry, Potter," he muttered and walked off without an insult.

Harry was taken back. Draco Malfoy, his enemy, the person beside the Dark Lord who was determined to make his life miserable, had just apologized to him. Confused, Harry continued walking towards the common room.

"Harry!" yelled a voice. He turned to see Ginny running towards him at full speed.

"What's wrong, Ginny?" he asked seeing the tears in her eyes.

"He killed them. Harry, he killed them!" She bursted into sobs so great she couldn't breath. Utterly confused by now, he hugged her until she calmed down. "Neville and Luna...Death Eaters."

His voice caught in his throat. Not Neville. Not Luna. They had become such good friends after they had helped him during their fifth year. Tears of anger and sadness fell from his dull green eyes. He was tired of watching the people he loved die at the hands of evil wizards. Emotions swept over him and he and Ginny cried in each other's arms. Hermione and Ron soon joined them and they tried comforting each other to no avail.

The houses of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were in mourning. While the two houses had never been enemies, an alliance was formed between the two. Feeling close by the death of Luna and Neville, the houses stuck up for one another. In Quidditch, one team was playing, the other was cheering them one. A Slytherin was picking on one from the houses, one from the other stepped in. Many fights broke out in the halls of Hogwarts, mainly for the fact that many of the Slytherins' parents were Death Eaters. Hufflepuff soon joined the alliance. Three fourths of Hogwarts were joined.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was at war. Jinxes and charms were thrown around in the halls. Students were being levitated, thrown against the wall, and anything else they could use. Dumbledore was furious. Only he could stop the craziness they started.

To Harry's surprise, Malfoy did not join in on the little war. He had been keeping to himself. Angry was becoming Harry's normal emotion and he wanted to know why Malfoy wasn't using it against him.

"What is going on with you, Malfoy?" Harry asked him one day. He had pinned the blonde boy against the wall. He wanted some reaction just to prove his world wasn't falling apart completely.

Draco looked at the angry boy. "Hit me, Harry. Go ahead. I won't stop you."

Harry stumbled back. Malfoy had used his first name! "Draco, what..."

Draco shrugged and stared at the boy. "I talked to Dumbledore. I'm joining the Order after we graduate."

Harry reeled at this revelation. "You're what!"

"It's true, Harry," said Dumbledore who appeared beside them. "Young Mr. Malfoy came to me a couple weeks ago. I believe in his turn to our side completely."

"How can you be so sure?" Harry asked disbelieving.

"You don't believe me. I understand why and you have no reason to," Draco said. "Can we talk and I'll tell you the truth? You can hold my wand." He stuck out his wand to the angry boy.

Harry took it still not believing this. However, he followed Draco to an empty classroom. "So, Malfoy, what's the truth?" For the first time since Harry had met Draco, he saw defeat in the blonde haired boy's face.

"Voldemort needs to be killed, Harry, and you're the only one who can do it," Draco admitted staring Harry in the eyes. "He killed my mother." Fury filled the boy's face. "My own father killed my mother for Voldemort. He chose him over her!" After a couple minutes of silence, he spoke again. "I'm sorry. All these years I've thought Voldemort was right. You know, get rid of everyone who wasn't a pure blood. I never thought about the major consequences. Innocent people dying and for what? I was raised to believe purebloods were superior and I didn't question it. Not until I watched my mother die at the hands of my father. All because she finally voiced what he was doing was wrong. I understand you now, Harry."

Harry stared dumfounded. He almost believed Malfoy. Years of them being enemies kept him from it. "I'm sorry for your mother, Malfoy, but I mean..."

"You can't trust me yet," he said nodding with understanding. "I don't blame you and I have every intention of proving I'm trustworthy. Just give me the chance." Draco stuck out his hand.

Harry hesitated but only for a second, before he shook hands with his new ally. His world was upside down anyway so why couldn't it be possible for Draco Malfoy, son of a Death Eater, to have joined the side of the Order?

They walked out of the classroom to face the hall full of jinxes. They smirked at each other and walked through the masses. Everyone stopped and stared. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy walking together and not fighting? Even the Slytherins stopped and stared after the two.

Draco decided to try his luck. "So, Potter, what's up with you and the Weasley girl?"

Harry actually laughed. "Malfoy, I don't completely trust you, so why would I tell you something like that?"

Draca shrugged and began laughing. Harry kept laughing at the thought of telling Draco Malfoy anything, but then a thought crept into his mind. What was with him and Ginny?

I know...a little weird for Draco Malfoy, of all people, to join the good side. But hey, anything's possible. Please review and tell me what you think and if I can make anything better or more interesting. Thanks!
