Title:Choosing what is Right Instead of What is Wrong
Team:Pride of Portree
Position:Chaser 2
Draco was sitting in his room just staring at the wall. He had his mission. Get the vanishing cabinet working. That was the others cold come through, and his mother would be safe. He had to remember that. His father is in Azkaban now so it's up to him to protect what is left of his down he knows that this is wrong. That how he acts is wrong. Yet it was the only way to survive in his family. H sits there for a while thinking about what to do. If he does this-Hogwarts- the only home he has ever known is about to get destroyed. Though if he doesn't he is risking his mother's life.
He just sat there for a few hours thinking. He knew what he had to do. Not the easy choice but the right choice. He doesn't want to be like his father. He doesn't want to follow in his footsteps. Or be seen in that type of way. He wants to have his own life. One where people don't hate him. Or be someone he's not. He knows what he has to do. It might not all work out in the end, but it's the right thing to do.
Draco was seen walking down the halls of the castle late at night. Before he could do anything he had to alert his mother. To make sure she got somewhere safe. That needed to happen. He would never forgive himself if something happened to her because she wasn't prepared for something he did. Now the question is how would he do this. Would he find a way to do this on his own or would he ask for help? And if he did who would help him. Potter? As much as he hated to admit he would be the only person that could help, but the problem is they wouldn't trust him enough. So the first thing to do is get Potter and his friends to trust him. Then he would have the help he needs to get out of here.
After some long thinking the best way to go about talking to Potter was to write a note. He would ask to meet him in the Room of Requirements at midnight. And that he could bring his friends if he wants. He doesn't like it but he does need help if he were to stop the attack that is going to happen. It was during lunch time when Potter got the message. Draco was watching and saw POtter look up at him. They made quick eye contact before Draco looked away. Hoping no one saw him. When it finished he was quick to leave. He needed to get ready with what he was going to say. He had a plan. Sure it wasn't the best plan but hopefully it will get a few death eaters captured and sent to Azkaban to be with his father. Because he didn't want to be one of the bad guys. Not any more.
It was close to midnight and Draco was already waiting in the Room of Requirements. The only thought on his mind that this needed to go perfectly. He already got a letter back from his mother saying that she'll be leaving in a couple days. So that doesn't give him much time to work with.
He was in his thoughts when he heard the door open. He looked over and saw Potter, Granger, and Weasley walk in. All of them having looks of confusion and preparing for something to happen.
"Malfoy, what do you want" of course it would be Pottert to be the first one to speak.
Draco nodded his head back "Potter, I know this might sound impossible but I need your help"
Before he could respond Weasley cut in "And why should we trust you? For all we know this could be a trap."
"Ron is right Malfoy, how do we know we can trust you" Draco took a moment to think about that. There really is no reason he could give them to make them trust him.
"I can't really give you a reason, but what I can give you is information and why I am doing this." They both looked at him not knowing what to do. Except Granger, she actually looked to be thinking about this whole situation. And for the first time since they got there she spoke up.
"I think we should at least give him a chance to explain himself guys." The other two boys looked at her studying her for a second before nodding and turning back.
"Well I always knew you were the sensible one Granger" Draco responded with a small smile.
"Alright Malfoy we'll let you explain yourself and if we believe you're telling the truth then we'll help"
So that night he explained everything. From the plans he was given to carry out by the end of the year. To what has been happening within his family and why he has always acted like such a bad person. He didn't hold back any information. He couldn't, he didn't want them to think he was actually a bad person and knew that he had to convince them because they are the last hope to save him and his mother from the others when they find out what he is doing. After talking for almost two hours they finally listened to everything Draco had to say. They sat there for a while in silence processing everything he just said. Harry was once again the first one to talk.
"Alright Mal-Draco we'll help you and your mother" Harry got up and put out his hand. Draco sat there for a moment shocked but got up also.
"Thank you Pot-Harry" they both shook hands. But what they didn't know was that they changed history that night. From that moment on it was no longer the golden trio. From that moment on it was the four of them. The four of them that managed to prepare for the attack which lead to the death of Dumbledore but also the capture of all the death eaters that were there that night so they couldn't take Hogwarts. The Four of them that went out looking for the Horcruxes for a year. And finally the four of them that all grew old together.
