Forbidden draco malfoy 14

We headed towards the burrow and once we got to the doorstep they all walked in and I felt Draco stop. I turned to look at him.

"Come on, it's going to be ok Draco. Don't worry. They won't bite." I gave him a small smile and said lightly under my breath, "hard." and he jerked his head up and stared at me. I laughed. "It was only a joke. Now come on." and I wrapped my arm around his waist and he did the same around my shoulders.

We walked into the burrow and all I saw was someone fly past me and hug Ron immediately.

"Oh Ron! I've been worried sick! How dare you do that to me!" Mrs. Weasley said happily that her son was alright but angry that he hadn't contacted them in a little under a week.

"Mum, I'm fine. Really. The problem was that we just didn't know how to get in touch with you." he said, looking down at his shoes.

"Oh, well no bother then. Oh Harry! Hermione! So good to see you too of course! And Christina! How are you dear? So good to see you." she said. Going to each of us, giving each of us all hugs. She stopped when she came in front of Draco. "Well who are you? I've never met you before." she said looking at Draco curiously.

"Mrs. Weasley, this is Draco Malfoy." I said, feeling Draco pull me in closer slightly.

"Draco-?" she looked at Ron. "but isn't this the one that you told me abo-?"

"Yes mum, but listen, he-" she cut him off before he could say anything.

"Well, why in the world is he here then? I mean Arthur, why would you let this boy in our house he-" she started rambling until I decided to cut her off.

"Mrs. Weasley. Whatever you've heard about Draco was either in his past or isn't true. So Mrs. Weasley, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let Draco stay with us for the time being until he and I can find somewhere else that is safe to stay with the current problems that are going on." I said confidently, keeping my composure up so that they couldn't tell that on the inside I was afraid that they would all just force Draco out of the house. It made me so worried I didn't know what to do.

"Well the only thing that I'm worried about is if the rumors are true, was he the one that-" I knew what she was going to say but before she could get it out, Ginny came bursting into the room.

"Mum! Where've you put my-?" she stopped when she saw us all standing there. "why is he here?" she said angrily looking at draco.

"Now Ginny, listen-" Mr. Weasley tried to explain but Ginny cut in.

"Why would you let him in this house!" she screamed to her father. "Don't you know what's been going on in the school? What he's done? I thought you guys knew better than to let murderers in the house!"

I felt draco squeeze me slightly at the word murderer and I stepped up to Ginny, mainly because out of all of the people in the house, I was the only one Ginny wouldn't stand up against.

"Ginny, calm down. You don't know what has been going on. You only think that you do. Draco isn't a murderer, they've only let everyone think that because he was supposed to be the one to do that. But, it wasn't him." I said, looking down at my feet.

"Well, who was it then?" she said with a smart tone.

I looked up at her, afraid to give her the true answer but Harry decided to speak for me.

"Snape." everyone looked at him. He had said the name with such distaste you would have thought he had spit it out. Ginny saw the look on his face and walked over to him.

"Harry, I- I'm sorry, I didn't know." she said with a sad voice, she put her hand upon his arm and he looked at her.

"Of course you didn't know." he said angrily, yanking his arm away from her, she looked about to tears at this point. "you had no idea, all you knew was what everyone else thought. And what everyone else believed. I thought you better than that Ginny. I thought that of all people, you would be one of the few to actually find out who had murdered Dumbledore."

We all looked up at him. He had been the first one to mention the murder of our beloved headmaster. And I thought that Harry would be the last one to say anything. For the fact that he alone was Dumbledore's favorite pupil. Harry truly loved Dumbledore and now that he was gone, he had almost nothing. But he had us. We were always with him. And he knew that.

"Harry" Ginny was slightly crying now and Harry looked at her, with a look of sorrow on his face. "I'm sorry, I had no idea. But I mean everyone was saying, and he did seem like a big of enough prat to do this... so I guess I judged before I knew."

"Yeah, well so did everyone else. He's innocent, and even though you may not want to, he's staying here. Because this house is the safest place I can imagine at the moment. And even though I still may not like him, we all have to get along." Harry turned around and looked at Draco, holding out a hand, Draco moved slightly closer to me, yet I doubt anyone in the room would notice, and I gave him a small squeeze of the hand, letting him know that it would be ok. He shook Harry's hand and they both gave each other a small smile.

"Thanks, really everyone. I am sorry for the loss and it has hurt me too. And to be a runaway for a murder I didn't commit, I must know how Black felt. But at least I haven't suffered the fate he has, yet."

I looked up at him, the fact that he was talking about Sirius made me feel somewhat happy, "Don't worry Draco, you won't suffer that fate. Not while you're with us." I looked up at everyone to find them all nodding in agreement. I smiled and so did he.

Things were going to be ok.
