" Analia Fattera "
Analia hurried to where old Nott was monitoring through an enchanted crystal the going-ons of the cell where they were keeping Potter and Malfoy. Nott did not appear pleased.
"Miss Fattera, when you captured Malfoy along with Potter, were you aware of this?" He pointed to the crystal; Harry and Draco were laughing and horsing around the cell, perhaps re-capturing their lost friendship?
"Vell, vhat could I do?" she protested. "Lucius Malfoy vants his son brought here. He has stated so about a hundred times!"
"And what do you intend to do about this?"
She shrugged. "Enjoy the show? Come on, Nott! Ve're still going to execute them vhen everyone gets here. Vhat does it matter vhat they do in the meantime? Vot else is there to do, it's not like they have women in there!"
Much later...
"Hey come on," said Harry "you don't expect me to believe that you and Pansy were together. How? I mean she's the ugliest Slytherin on the planet!"
"Harry, I was desperate! She was pretty good though, eh, what about Ron and Hermione? I bet they…"
"Don't you dare!" cried Harry "I don't want to know about what they get up to and neither should you, you nosy git! Anyway, she's having a baby!" then they both fell into fits of booming laughter and the dungeon echoed loudly with the noise. After a while, Draco calmed down and thought about how this was probably the last time he'd see Harry.
"I must admit," murmured Draco, "this isn't how I expected to spend my last hours, prating about with Harry Potter!"
"Me neither," Harry murmured back. Draco really was different. He couldn't have changed more if he'd turned magenta and sprouted tentacles.
Then they heard someone clear their throat.
There was an opening in the dungeon, and standing in it was Analia Fattera. "Come on, break up the party, and get going."
Without protesting they obeyed. Two hooded figures accompanied them away from the dungeon along dark stone corridors. Harry kept his head held high, knowing well what was coming and determined to accept it.
"Stop," ordered Fattera . "I haff something to say."
"What?" asked Harry calmly.
"Not to you, silly," she said, and her accent suddenly changed from Eastern European to English. "To them." She turned to the first of the hooded figures. "And it's this: Avada Kedavra!"
A flash of light, and the first figure fell dead. "Fattera -" started the second.
"Just so you know, Crabbe," she said, "my name's Analia Fattera. Can't believe you didn't recognize me. After all, I'm that Omega Unspeakable who escaped you. Avada Kedavra!" Crabbe also fell dead.
She turned to Harry and Draco. "Keep going along this corridor, and turn right. Go along that corridor until you reach the end. You will find a door leading a room with a fireplace in it. The fireplace has been connected to the Floo Network. Here is some powder," She handed them a vial of Floo Powder. "And here are your wands." She handed each of them their wands. "You can use it to go wherever you wish. You've done your job already. Hurry, there will be Hit Wizards from several different Magical Law Enforcement Squads descending on this place any minute."
Neither questioned her. Down the corridor they ran, they turned right. As they went through the door into the room with the fireplace, they heard blasts outside.
"Of course," murmured Draco. "She was a double agent. They were trying to gather as many Death Eaters as possible, so they staged the kidnapping the two of us so they would come here and be ambushed."
"I don't care," replied Harry. "I'm going home. Incendio!" He took a handful of powder and tossed it into the flames, which turned green. He stepped in "Godrics Hollow!"
It was only while he was spinning he realized he had forgotten to remove his glasses. He carefully drew himself to a halt when he landed in his living room fireplace, but they fell off and broke anyway.
He stepped out of the fireplace, picked them up, repaired them with a wave of his wand, and slid them back on. Then, exhausted beyond belief, he collapsed onto the sofa and fell asleep.
He awoke to a gentle shaking. "Hey, Potty. Wake up." Draco was leaning over him.
He pulled himself into a sitting position. "What's going on? How come you're still here, not that I don't want you here but…"
Draco sat down next to him. "My assignment here's over. From now on I'm here on my own time."
"So you're sticking around?"
"Yeah, sure, why not?" His tone turned very serious. "I mean, if it's not ok with you then I won't, you'll be busy, I'll be in the way."
Harry smiled at him. "Of course not. I'm in the same situation as you here, we can be friends, and it seems a shame to say "see you later" just yet. We've got a lot in common, Draco. Hey, you can meet Ron and Hermione soon!"
Just then there was a pop, and Ron and Hermione appeared. "Harry!" started Ron. "You're okay! We heard-" He stopped dead at the sight of Draco. "What's he doing here?"
"Um," started Harry, "maybe you both should sit down..."
"What is that piece of scum doing here, Harry? Are you mad, I won't let my wife near him!" sneered Ron; the tone did not suit him now even though he was nearly 30.
"Ron, it's fine. I guess Harry and Malfoy have to explain." Hermione said and waited.
Harry told the story and the Weasleys listened carefully and when he had finished, Ron wasn't happy but he appeared so for Hermione's sake.

"So are you going to stick with the Unspeakables, then Draco?" said Hermione after they had all eaten dinner. Hermione was on 5th helpings as she was very pregnant and had a craving for roast dinners!
"Well I might do but I want to get a house around here. This is a nice area, and well since I have no other family, I've only got you lot."
Ron frowned at this and spoke up.
"Malfoy just cos they believe you, doesn't mean I do! But given time, we could be friends, as long as you forget this family grudge thing and you both find yourselves girlfriends, you look pathetic without them!" they all laughed and then Ron said "only joking, you two. I'm jesting, I know a few people. I think my sister still likes you Harry…"
"Really? I haven't seen her for ages! Tell me more…"
