Harry lost the ability to reason. As the words of Lucius passed through his ears he turned around and ran towards Lucius. He saw Draco swing back and hit the stone bench and all he wanted to do was get to him. As he ran as fast as he could his leg twisted and a cracking of glass hit the floor from his pocket. As he looked down he saw the time turner Hermione had given him fell and pressed itself as the circle around it started to turn Harry's eyes widened.
As time became a blur to Harry he blinked a few times and noticed Draco talking to Lucius.
"You got the wrong guy" said Draco to Lucius.
Harry reacted and noticed he had gone back in time and he knew what was going to happen next. He looked behind him and saw the faint shadow of who he now knew was Kingsley. He looked forward and before Draco could speak he ran towards Lucius.
"Kingsley-" Draco began to say.
"Avada Kadavra!" shouted Harry and out of his wand the green flame struck Lucius and sent him face-first to land behind Draco , who had ducked out of the way of Lucius's flying body. People gasped and Hermione covered her mouth. Harry stood frozen and he looked over at everyone ahead. McGonagall had wide eyes and Harry wondered if they knew about the time shift or was he the only one who experienced it. Narcissa ran with a scream as she approached Draco and hugged him tight. Draco looked at his father's body , speechless. As Narcissa pulled away from himshe went towards Lucius and kneeled beside him.
Draco slowly raised his gaze to Harry's and Harry saw the recognition in his eyes.
"Draco…" started Harry, but he didn't know what to say, he used a forbidden curse, he killed Lucius.
Draco walked forward with intentions to hug Harry but Harry pulled back.
Draco looked at him with hurt eyes.
"i….i killed him… i-"
Draco snatched him up and hugged him tight. His heart ached partly because it couldn't believe Harry was back and partly because behind him , there lay the body of Lucius.
"I killed him" said Harry into Draco's shoulder. Harry was shaking he was cold and barely breathing. Everyone else joined Narcissa and they took Lucius away. Hermione wanted to go towards Harry and so did everyone else but they decided to leave Draco and him alone. Kingsley passed by Draco and Draco eyed him with the corner of his eye.
"Harry.." Draco said
"I killed him!" shouted Harry as he tried pulling away. Draco tried holding on to him but ended up letting him go and Harry fell to his knees.
"Its ok Harry, look at me!" shouted Draco
"What did you do?" asked Draco
Harry looked up at Draco with serious eyes. He killed his father , wasn't that clear?
"I mean, you did something else right, this felt like it already happened" said Draco.
Harry looked over at the broken time turner and Draco stood up and walked towards it. He picked it up and took it back towards Harry. He sat down on the cold concrete.
"You used it" said Draco.
Harry looked up with red eyes.
"I had to, before I sued it, Lucius killed you, he killed you"
Draco's eyes went wide and he felt cold. Luicus had killed him?
"If the time turner wouldn't have fallen out of my pocket when I ran towards you , I would've never gone in time to stop him" said Harry. He was shaking and Draco took a hold of his hands.
"You went back to save me?" Draco asked Harry.
"I did, but it wasn't something I palned, I didn't know how to react but when I saw you just laying there-"
Draco kissed him and even though he interrupted him, he did it.
They both looked at each other for a second.
"You remembered me" said Draco
Harry looked at his eyes. "I remembered everyone, before Lucius….killed you, you shouted to Kingsley to stop and once I turned around to face him, he held this up"
Harry reached into his jean pocket and took out his ring. Kingsley had tossed it to him after he turned around and at that moment Harry reacted. He remembered everything and all he thought about was Draco.
"The ring brought back your memory?" asked Draco.
"Yes it did" said Kingsley as he walked out of the shade towards them.
Draco stood up and held up his hand.
"You knew about this?" he asked
"No , I didn't" replied Kingsley "it was a hunch, I thought it might work and I went to Azkaban to get the ring, and it did work, but it's not because of me everything turned out ok"
Harry stood up and gained his balance. "How did everything turn out ok?, I used dark magic"
McGonagall came along with hard steps.
"You had to Mr. Potter, it was a moment where no one else could have done anything, it was justified"
"I don't care if I prevented something terrible from happening, I ended up killing someone and that's not justified"
As Harry said that he regretted it at he saw Draco's jaw twitch.
"You saved me by killing him" said Draco.
"You saved us all"
It all went back to normal, as if. Hogwarts was the talk of the wizarding world. Luicus was put in a coffin along with the death eaters who had died in the war. The guards were sent to Azkaban, to the deepest of the prisons cells where they wouldn't see any glimpse of light for as long as they lived. Harry was taken to the Ministry where many people gathered and heard what he had to say, he wasn't punished for using a forbidden curse and he did understand why he used it and why it was justified.
After Lucius died, everyone was safe, Hermione and Ron hugged Harry dozens of times. Narcissa hugged Draco for the longest period of time and he hugged her back. Draco had left when Lucius was put away and he spent a few weeks with Narcissa, Harry thought that it made them be closer, even if Narcissa was deeply hurt because now all she had was Draco even if Lucius wasn't even part of her life for a while.
Hogwarts went under maintenance and it was back on track, students continued their year and the security increased. Kingsley gave up the Minister position and offered it to a runner up. McGonagall made new rules regarding if any issues like the one that had happened, so if it came again, everyone would be ready. Hermione , Ron and the rest went back to Hogwarts but Harry now found himself waiting for the train to go back to Grimmauld place. His friends did beg him to stay for what was left of the year but truth was Harry didn't feel ok with what happened. He still felt guilty and he wanted to go home, even though Hogwarts was home for most of his life.
As he waited having passed through the wall already he felt a tap on his shoulder. He smiled and turned around. People passed by and looked at them curiously.
"Hey" said Draco.
"Hey" said Harry
As they both smiled Draco took a hold of Harry's hand and traced the ring with his index finger. He looked down and smiled at the beautiful colors which glowed brightly. He remembered Harry going crazy about what he did with the ring.
- "Im so sorry!, I was mad, I thought you literally meant what you said!"
- "You mean what my father said…"
- "Well, at the time I thought it was you"
- "Well I guess it's my fault for giving it to you for Christmas"
- "Don't regret it, it's the best gift anyone has ever given me"
Draco smiled once again.
"What?" asked Harry.
Draco shrugged and pulled Harry by the collar of his red hoodie and kissed him, a kiss that lasted long enough to leave both of the out of breath. People passing by made a stop and stared but that just made them laugh because at this point they had gone through enough.
As the train door opened they went inside and took their seats. They looked at the moving trees through the window as they held hands.
"It never ends, does it?" asked Harry.
"No" said Draco
Harry looked down and Draco pulled his chin up. "But whatever happens from here on out, we'll face it together".
