Chapter 4: Just Be Careful

Draco arrived at the ministry and looked cautiously around before he went inside. Whoever was following him was doing a really good job at staying hidden. He hustled to the lifts and chose the Ministry of Magic level. As soon as the doors opened he was walking quickly down the hallway to Theo's office. He arrived at the office, breathing heavily. He walked up to the receptionist's desk.

"Is Theo Nott in?" he asked the young woman behind the desk. She looked up at him appreciatively which made Draco shudder within. No way, Draco thought.

"Yes, of course. May I ask who is here?" she asked in a tone that suggested she was more interested in what his name was for her own personal gain then who was there to see Theo.

Draco struggled not to roll his eyes. "Tell him that Draco Malfoy is here," he replied politely.

She stared at him for a moment, no doubt recalling how she knows that name. Draco watched her for a moment wanting to reach out and slap her upside the head to get her moving, but he didn't have to wait much longer as she realized that he wasn't worth her time. She sighed loudly and pressed a button. Theo's voice came across the intercom.

"Sir, there is a Draco Malfoy here to see you," she said in a bored tone. Draco frowned in annoyance. The girl nodded and gestured for him to head back. He gave her a curt nod and made his way quickly down the hallway. "Bint," he muttered as he walked into Theo's office.

"Aw, so you've met Keri then?" Theo asked without looking up from his papers.

"Yeah, rude much?" he responded as he took a seat in front of his desk.

"Yes, we aren't really fans of her, but apparently she knows somebody, who knows somebody, who has influence to help her keep her job. Anyway, so what brings you here?" Theo questioned as he looked up from his paper and set his reading glasses down.

Draco took a deep breath and looked at Theo seriously. Theo's expression instantly became guarded and concerned. He scrunched his eyebrows in worry as he took in the expression on Draco's face. "Have you heard anything about someone coming after me?"

"Excuse me?" Theo asked in a confused tone.

Draco bit his lip and ran his hand through his hair; two things that he never does unless he is super nervous or freaked out or both. His hand shook as well which made Theo even more alarmed. "Someone broke into my flat last night and stole one of my memories," Draco replied.

Theo stood up quickly and came around to lean against the desk in front of Draco. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"I'm freaked out! I woke up this morning and I could just feel that someone was in my flat. When I came out, Potter was there and my living room was trashed. My first thought was that Potter had done it and I had caught him, but then he told me that he watched the people who did it. Of course then I got really mad and wondered why he didn't stop them. He wouldn't tell me. He just said that they can't know that he's here, or else they'll kill him, whatever that means!" Draco exclaimed.

Theo's frown deepened as he listened to Draco explain what had happened. "So Harry has been assigned to watch over you by someone and then some other person or persons is out to get you and stealing memories from you?" he summed up.

Draco nodded and looked at him fearfully. "Have you heard anything?"

"Draco, don't you think that if I've heard something that I would tell you? I haven't heard anything, but I also haven't been listening for anything because I haven't had a reason to. Now, however, I will listen around and see what I can find out. What memory did they take?" Theo told him.

"The one from the Room of Requirement when Crabbe had set the Fiendfyre and subsequently died. I prefer to not keep that memory playing around in my head," Draco replied with a shudder.

"Is the whole memory in that vial?" Theo asked as he waggled an eyebrow and grinned at him.

Draco blushed and looked away. "That's a particular nice part of the memory. I don't mind seeing that one. Which reminds me, what were your impressions last night of him?"

"I, uh, well…." Theo stuttered as he ran a hand through his hair. Draco crossed his arms and looked up at him with a lifted eyebrow. Theo sighed. "I don't particularly want to speak about my future wife's best friend, but Draco, he is stunning and I am saying that in the straightest way possible. There is also something very dark about him and very different that makes me nervous and on edge. Just be careful, alright? He may be claiming to be protecting you, but what if he is the one who's after you and is trying to get you to trust him, only to pull the wool over your eyes in the end?" he finished.

Draco snorted and rolled his eyes. "Come on, Theo, its Harry Potter we're talking about here! The Savior of the Wizarding World, the Boy Who Lived, the Golden Boy, the man who has a serious hero complex. He defeated the Dark Lord. Why would he possibly want to kill me when he had millions of chances before? Especially in the Room of Requirement. He could have easily left me there instead of rescuing me," he admonished.

Theo frowned at him and walked back to the other side of his desk and took a seat. "And that changed a lot of people. I would imagine that it would change Harry the most. I just want you to be careful," he reiterated.

Draco narrowed his gaze at him knowingly. "You know something about where he's been and what happened to him?" he accused.

Theo stared at him intently. "I have my suspicions, yes. Just be careful, alright?"

Draco threw his hands up in the air and stood up angrily. "Why can't anyone just answer my damn questions?" he demanded. He stormed over to the door and reached for it to open it.

"Draco, I don't want to answer because I don't want to be wrong. All I am asking is that you stay careful. Harry could genuinely be protecting you from whoever stole that memory and whoever is watching you, but if my suspicions are correct, it very well could be Harry. Please, Draco," Theo replied, almost begging.

Draco dropped his shoulders and looked over his shoulder at him. "Alright, I'll do my best. Let me know if you hear anything," he responded quietly.

He saw Theo nod and felt his gaze on him as he left his office. His heart was racing with his nervousness and his body was wound tight with all the worries that were plaguing him now. He had to find Harry and he had to find him fast.
