Nothing Will Tear Us Apart XI
"What the fuck are you talking about Draco?" Harry half screamed, into the corridor.
"You know what? I don't even want to know, you self centered idiot! I've – I've waited years for you, gave my life to end over this idiotic-bigot's war because for a world where I'd be free to live with you, I've stopped my life for you! And you come here and start demanding answers about, of all people, Ginny?" Harry stopped his yelling startled, they weren't exactly hidden and anyone could've overheard his tantrum. Feeling uncommonly deflated and out of energy he made a slashing movement in Draco's direction.
"I hope Dumbledore has found you a new room to stay, because you are certainly not setting foot in my rooms again," his voice sounded oddly emotionless in his ears. "I expect to find my invisibility cloak and all of your things removed by the end of the day and that is all Draco."
Harry could hardly believe his ears, he couldn't possibly have heard correctly. At that thought he decided to leave Draco before he said anything that would worsen the fragment of relationship that could still exist. He had waited for years; he had distance himself from the possibility of having any other relationship. He fought for Draco, breathed for Draco, kept on living for the blond idiot. And he questioned him about Ginny Weasley? That daft man.
Harry stormed away from Draco and decided to immerse himself in his quest for Ron's safety, rather that mull about whatever crossed that blond head of Draco's.

A week before Ron's trial, in which Harry would be speaking for his friend, found the scarred boy brooding in his room. He tried to get work done but of course he lost precious time thinking about something as frivolous as relationship problems. Around him everyone kept on training and fighting against Death Eater but Harry, under the ruse of helping his best mate, could only think about his once-lover Draco Malfoy.
"Potter! Potter, are you there?" hollered that same lover from the door.
"What do you want? I'm working!" Pssh, what a lousy liar he was.
"Well there's no need for that any longer, there's been an attack and every prisoner from the Ministry holding cells have been released," Draco's voice sounded extremely anxious and Harry without thinking twice left his chair to open the door for him.
"What do you mean released? Do we have any news about him, is Ron alright?"
"Potter stop being stupid and start thinking with your head for once, of course we have no news, the Ministry's been attacked by Death Eaters! Dumbledore is calling you in his office, I thinking we'll soon be leaving in a rescue party," Draco sounded annoyed, more annoyed than usual. "I was so looking forward to a nice soak in the bathtub."
"You son of a bitch, stop thinking about yourself at least once, Ron could be in danger!" he retorted angrily.
"Well you're the once wasting time fighting with me instead of running along to the headmaster's office," the Blond Headed idiot said with a stuck up smile on his face.
Harry flushed read and restrained himself from strangling Draco, the urge was almost too great. He closed the door and ran to Dumbledore's office instead. He could hear Malfoy following behind and thought that maybe he cared for Ron's safety more than he let on.
He hastily entered the office without bothering to knock, there were several people inside of course, simply waiting for the entire ensemble to arrive, being that Harry and of course Draco who was right behind him closing the door. The room seemed more cluttered than usual specially with most of the Order inside, talking and gesticulating all together.
"Harry my boy, come closer will you," Dumbledore motioned him through the mass of wizards. "I'm afraid I'll need to ask Mr. Malfoy and you to work together on this one."
Harry looked affronted, and ready to argue. Of course Dumbledore stopped him before he could.
"Mr. Malfoy knows the Ministry extremely well and he is in possession of maps, that once belonged to his father, that will take you inside the Ministry without much difficulty, unfortunately Tom has put up some impressing wards up, and apart from myself you will certainly be the only one able to move them.
"I'd like for you to study the map for the rest of the day, have a nice resting sleep, possibly with some calming potion to help, and early tomorrow both of you can head to the ministry."
"Wouldn't it be wiser to send a bigger group with us, sir?'
"I'm afraid no, most Order members are now aware of Mr. Malfoy's allegiance, as you well know, but that does not mean they trust him," Dumbledore explained with that infuriating calming manner of his. "There'll be another group trying to get in of course, as well as some agents of ours, but you must trust no one but Mr. Malfoy once inside the Ministry. You will both try to find any survivors and of course Mr. Weasley, we have heard there are a few people barricaded inside the Aurors office, so perhaps you must start looking there."
Sometimes it saddened him, Draco did so much for the Order, so much that wasn't acknowledged, and now they had to work alone because it was better to do so than to work with people who didn't trust you. Even though Dumbledore had all told them about his spy work they were barely restraining themselves from glaring at him. Draco reminded him terribly of Snape for that reason, and that simply worsened the situation. No matter how much of a bastard he was Snape didn't deserve to be treated as a Death Eater and neither did Draco. Best stop thinking about misunderstood spies and start putting his efforts into saving his best friend.
"Alright Headmaster I will start studying those maps straight away, is there anything else?" There wasn't, once being dismissed Harry grabbed Draco by the arm leading him away from Dumbledore's office and into once of the study rooms.
Unused classrooms had long since been turned in strategically warded study rooms for the use of Order members, and of them alone. To enter one you needed an ever changing password that Minerva McGonagall herself thought of.
"Blood Sucking Bugbear," Harry said the large wooden door that simply opened soundlessly letting him and Draco inside. "You have these maps I've heard of with you right?"
"Yes, of course, the Headmaster asked me beforehand to get them." Harry nodded while casting spells to open the windows and light up some lamps. Another spell got rid of any dust. "We'll be breaking into the Ministry to save the Weasel then?'
"Shut your trap about him, he's probably being tortured and there you are calling him names!"
"I'm sure people called me names when I was away as a spy," Draco muttered in such a resentful tone it cut Harry's heart up to listen to it.
"I didn't let them of course, but there was still the fact no one knew you were at our side," he answered speaking in a matter of fact way.
"Yeah but anyway…"
Malfoy thought best to put those maps on the table instead of continuing such discussion that was taking them nowhere. Weasley couldn't be left behind there were so many things he knew that would put the entire Order into trouble. If Voldemort put his hands on the ginger head there was no stopping him in taking the castle.
"Dumbledore told me there people hiding at the Law Enforcement Department, which is at Level Two. The holding cells are at Level Ten not far off the courtrooms, therefore Ron might be stuck between those levels, or he might have made it to Level Two. Anyway we'll have to search for him," Harry commented as he pointed the places they would search.
"I'm not sure if he go through all the Level of let that for the other group going in, we're in there to rescue Ron after all, do you think we should try to find Scrimgeour or maybe he's hiding at home under his bed?" said Harry smiling almost evilly.
"Maybe looking for him, at least, would be best," Draco responded. Harry merely shrugged.
"We must rescue those at Level Two anyway, Death Eaters are probably guarding the place but under the Invisibility Cloak we can take them, some of the Twins product might help as well."
"What if Voldemort's there?" Draco asked cautiously.
"Then I'll bring along a few other weapons and I might have the chance to finish him once and for all."
..tbc..
