Draco glared at him. "Potter, what do you want?" he barked, and then caught himself before saying anything else.

"Draco, is Snape really your father?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Astounded, Harry gaped at him. "Are you going to come in, or are you going to stand there and catch flies?" Draco stepped away from the door, and Harry walked in, closing the door behind him. Draco sat down on his bed, and waved Harry to a squishy green arm chair. Harry sat, and Draco cleared his throat.

"Uh, Potter... I have to tell you something." Harry looked at him curiously. "Er, I do not think you know, but, Voldemort has killed once again. Almost destroyed an old wizarding family." He stopped and looked up.

"What does this have to do with me?" realizing he sounded insensitive, Harry said, "I mean, we knew he would do it again, but it shouldn't affect me or anything right?" Draco looked at him, rather upset.

"Potter, Ron is dead."

Harry sat in shock for a few minutes. "You are kidding, right?" Draco shook his head. "No, I would know, the news, someone would have told me, not you. Nice try Malfoy."

"I am serious Potter. Ron, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Fred, all got killed by Voldemort, with the Avada Kadavra curse." Harry looked at him, as if willing him to say it wasn't true. But something in his eyes must have convinced him. A single tear slid down his cheek.

"But...why? Why Ron, why the Weasley's? They never hurt anyone, they never did anything." Draco could tell that Harry was barely holding back tears. Oddly enough, Draco felt bad for him. 'Lucius' death must have made me go soft,' he said thoughtfully to himself.

"I am not sure, Potter. I...I know you probably think my father had something do with it, but he didn't, I don't think, and even if he did, well, it doesn't matter anyways. He's dead." Draco told him the entire story. Harry had not cried, and Draco was impressed, but his eyes were very red and puffy.

"Malfoy, this sucks. I do not think it could get any worse."

"Don't say that Potter. I said that earlier, and you showed up." Draco grinned at him.

"Oh, you really know how to cheer a guy up Malfoy," Harry said to him, glaring.

Draco laughed. "I wasn't trying to make you feel better, I am just telling you how it is. So, are we still going to meet Hermione at Diagon Alley?" Harry nodded. "Well, we need to set up a different meeting place then." Draco started to crawl into bed. "By the way Potter, did I mention I am Head Boy next year?" Harry just stared. "I am serious. Night Potter."

He heard Harry shuffle out, and close the door. He drifted off to sleep.

***DRACO DREAMING***

"Sal, Ry, I am so relieved you are finally here! Ricci needs our help!" He opened his eyes, and saw another pretty woman; this one had long black hair, and pale green eyes. She ran over to him, and pulled him towards a large plush tree. She went through its trunk, and pulled him through.

"Sal, Renna, Ry, I thought you would never get here." A tall, black haired man with brown eyes and a pale face looked up at them. "Come over here Sal, I need you to help me with the Levidius spell!"

***DRACO AWAKENS***

Draco sat up in bed. The man named Ricci had looked oddly familiar. So had the woman Renna. But who were they? Draco closed his eyes, and fell back to sleep.
