A/N: And here is the long awaited chapter 12. I don't own either Pokémon or Harry Potter

ooOOoo

Both Pokémon had a stare down until the first attacks were called. Draco had no idea what to expect, but decided to call the first move because he was no scardy cat. He had Darting use a tackle thinking a frontal assault was the best way to start the battle. Drew called for a dodge. Dratini missed its mark and Draco was trying to think quickly for a counter, but he still didn't know what half the attacks Dratini knew did. Drew saw that as an advantage and called out a water gun. Dratini was hit dead on and slammed into the wall hard. Everyone thought that would be it, but Dratini shook it off like nothing had happened. Draco smiled and called out a Dragon Rage. Drew wasn't expecting Dratini to know that and watched as Whooper was going to be the next one slammed into the wall. He was a fast thinker though and called out Aqua Tail to stop the impact. Next he called out Head butt which Whooper used the momentum of Aqua Tail to perform. Head butt hit its mark and Dratini was down for the count. Drew congratulated Whooper then returned it to its poke ball. Draco just stood there too stunned to move. Brock went over to the fallen over dragon and sprayed some potion on it.

"There, that should do the trick."

"Drai"

"How…how did that just happen?"

"Welcome to the world of Pokémon battling. It's not as easy as it looks is it?"

"No…no it is not."

"Not bad."

"Huh?"

"Not bad for your first time. Most people during their first real battle freeze up when their Pokémon gets hurt. You kept a clear head for the most part and didn't let it stop you. Drew has just been at this longer and has learned to think out of the box. With some practice you could make a great trainer."

Draco was at a loss for words. No one in his entire life had ever praised him. He has always been told how bad he was and how he always needed improvement in some area. He nodded slightly and picked up Dratini and left the room at a brisk walk.

"What? Where is he going?"

"He probably needs some time to himself. You guys heard Dumbledore; he has had a rough life. Everything that he has ever known has changed in the last few days. It has to be hard on him."

"Your right Brock. The trio has told us a lot about his life. They despise him, but from what we have heard his life hasn't been sunshine and daisies."

ooOOoo

Draco sat on his bead with his hands on his head. His new Dratini sat by his side looking worried for her new master. The door began to creek open.

"I don't need your concern. I need time to myself."

"Now Draco that is no way to speak to your mother."

"Mother? How?"

"Dumbledore is how. He sent Snape to find me. They knew I would be in danger after what happened a few days ago."

"I'm so sorry mom, I failed."

"Nonsense Draco, you didn't fail. You did what was right. I was so worried about you. I love your father, but I never agreed with what he did and could never forgive him for what he put you through."

"I'm weak though. I knew that your life was at risk, and I still couldn't do it. If they hadn't come Dumbledore would be dead and so much could have happened."

"That is true, but things did not go that way. Instead we are both safe and given a second chance."

"What good does it do? Where can we possibly go where he can't find us? We will be dead before we leave the school. Everyone besides a select few wants us dead."

"You could always come with us."

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like. You aren't safe here. If you were to come home with us you could start anew, to a place where no one would know who you are, or what you have done."

"You would do that for us?"

"Of course we would. You can stay with my family until you get your feet on solid ground, and if you need anything Drew can buy it."

"What are you getting at May?"

"Your rich, what else?"

"Nice May, nice."

"You know you love me!"

"Sometimes I wonder why…"

"Anyway think it over. Once exams are over we are heading back."

"We thank you. Draco and I will let you know when we have come to a decision."

"Okay, we will leave the two of you alone now. Come May."

"Yes mother…"

"Well you do need looking after."

"Would you two please go before I get yet another headache?"

"Draco! That is no way to speak to two that have done so much for the both of us."

"No really, have you ever heard them bicker?"

ooOOoo

A week later found the student bodies in high spirits as exams were finally over. That was with the exception of the Golden Trio. Once again their friends were leaving, and they had a mission of their own to complete. The goodbye was a tearful one…

"So goodbye it is again."

"Were gonna miss the two of you."

"Well at least it will be quiet around here again."

"Ron!"

"Nah, you two bicker just as much as those two do."

"That isn't a very nice thing to say to your best friends Harry, even if it is true."

"Okay now that we have decided that we all bicker a lot it is time for us to go. Ash and the others went back this morning, and my parents will be wondering where I am. I gave them quite the scare the last time I came here."

"Plus this isn't a final goodbye; we will see you guys again sometime. Good luck on your mission and keep us posted on what is going on."

"We will good luck in your next contest circuit."

With a final round of hugs the group of friends split for the second time that year. Harry and his friends got ready to take down the Dark Lord, and coordinators got ready to take on the next set of contests. Neither knew what the future would bring, but they did know this. They were saying goodbye for now, but would be reunited once again when their combined efforts were needed again.

A/N: And here we finally have the end of the story. I want to thank everyone that stuck with me from the start. I apologize for how long it took me to write this story. This is the end, but I do plan on making a sequel. It won't be quite as long, but I want to tie up loose ends. Thanks for reading and please review!
