Without You Chapter 5- Alone, but Together
I was shocked to hear why the three of them were there out together doing who knows what. It made me frightened as to what they were searching for. I found out that they were looking for horcruxes that Voldemort made many years ago. They couldn't have been even more insane then they already were yet they shocked me with that information that not only did these things exist, but that they had to find all six of them.
They had left me alone to find the first one which was at the Ministry of Magic. I kept telling them how dangerous it was to go to the one place were Voldemort had a foot hold into our government, and that could mean death. They were determined to go there and get it. Hermione gave me a place to wait for them so that I could meet up with them instead of being on my own. So, they went off to almost certain doom and I made camp, placed temporary wards, and got everything ready for when they got there.
Then I waited, and waited, …and waited, until I was physically worried that something might've happened to them. I didn't know why I was there to begin with but I knew I had to be there for some reason. The pull that I felt every time I was near Harry had only gotten stronger now that I was alone, and I had a million urges to speak how I felt aloud. I had to stop myself from it, but I couldn't quite stop myself from mouthing the words 'I love you' every five minutes or so. It had started five minutes after Harry had left my sight, which had been over an hour ago. I was waiting for the three of them to get back, so I cleaned the tent … again when finally, I heard the pop of apparition. I ran to see who it was that had come back.
Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived stood in the wards I had placed very carefully around the camp site, was the one who stood in front of me when I went to check. I nearly froze as I saw him, the pull I always had around him wanted me to kiss him and beg him to never do that ever again. Instead I of course went back into the tent to make some tea for all of us since Harry returned that meant that the other two would soon be coming.
Harry looked at me and smiled saying, "We got it. The first one we not only found it but stole it from someone!"
As much as I wanted to cheer for his success if I had tried that at the time I would have gotten close kissed his lips and spoken the truth to him. I mean I had gotten so close to revealing the truth that I had a great set up of just straight up telling him how I felt, but I couldn't tell him because it would put everyone in danger including myself. I decided to tell him this, "I am glad that you did it. Here sit down and wait for me to brew you some tea that you can drink while we wait for the others."
"Ron and Hermione are covering our tracks they won't be here for a while. Besides Ron wanted time alone to tell Hermione how he feels about her. He's got the guts to tell the one he loves that he loves her. Unlike someone I know."
"Harry, we have been over this before. I won't risk it not when it could mean the end to life as we know it."
"Draco, I am positive that it won't matter. The curse is working right now to convince you to tell them until you can no longer live. You should tell them before you are dead."
"I will not risk it, not until the war is done."
Harry looked mad and started pacing when he finally decided to vent his anger. "You- you would rather them not know, but what if they loved you back and they couldn't tell you because the curse took you first. What if you can't out live the war because of your curse? Do you not expect them to waste away their days wondering if they could save you?! What about them?!"
"Why are you so mad at me?"
"Because I love you! Because I keep wishing that the person you want to tell is me! Because I don't think I could live without knowing. Because I am not sure I will make it out of this war alive."
