*Let's see how many chapters, of the stories that I don't own, I can post in a single day without cutting things too short. How many do you think I can do?
Ron and Hermione never got the chance to cast their spells because Kagome and Harry both placed themselves in between their friends and Draco. "Now is not the time for this kind of fight, not when there's a larger one already in progress." Harry said between gritted teeth. "Our top priority right now is finding Voldemort and his snake. That's the final horcrux."
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked, lowering her wand as she realized that her friend was right.
"He's telling the truth. I remember everything from while I was living with them, and I'm pretty sure that Nagini is the last one. Voldemort will be keeping her close to protect her, too." Her expression became harder as her eyes glowed with pink flames, something neither Ron or Hermione had seen before, making them take a step back. "And for the record, Draco has been protecting me every step of the way while I was at Malfoy Manor. If you try to attack him, you'll be facing me; and I think we all know that you don't want me as your enemy right now."
Ron grudgingly lowered his wand, casting a glare past his friends to the boy that was still sitting on the ground, looking surprised that the others hadn't killed him. "You're lucky she trusts you, cause I sure as hell don't." Then he turned to Harry, urging him to reach out with his mind to find Voldemort.
It took a while, but he figured out where he was and the five of them got moving. Ron was about to protest bringing Malfoy along, but the blond quickly interrupted him. "The three of you are magnets for trouble and near-death experiences. If you think I'll let you lead Kagome somewhere like that when she's not under the influence of the potion, in which case Voldemort would kill her on sight, then you're wrong. I won't be leaving her side, that way I can take any hit meant for her."
The other four blushed red at his little speech, and Kagome couldn't help but give him a quick peck on the cheek before they all ducked under Harry's cloak and got moving again. To make it to her father, they would first need to make it through the battle raging all over Hogwarts. If their luck continued to hold, they might make it down there without any of the Death Eaters realizing that two of their main players had switched sides.
AN: I loved doing Draco's little speech, but it made sense. After everything he's gone through to keep her safe, he would not just sit back while she runs of with the danger trio. Don't you agree? Warm-Fuzzies and please review!
