An Old Friend
As soon as we neared the flat, I felt my stomach tie in one giant knot. Why in the hell, out of all the bloody people in Britain, did she have to choose the one that I revered the most, her "best bud", Mr. Harry Potter. Ohh catch me quick, I think I am going to faint. wait, no I am running to the bathroom! Look everyone, it's the boy that lived, HA! It is more likely the boy who stole my thunder!!!
"Wait a bloody tick, don't people here think that you are dead? I mean. wouldn't this freak the hell out of the poor bastard?" I said with an intellectual tone, trying to keep her from knocking on his door, but before I knew it, the door flung open, and they greeted each other like they had seen each other the day before.
" Hey Hermione, how have you been? It seems that you were successful in your quest?"
" I have been quite well, thank you. We just arrived here a few moments ago, but we need your help Harry, is that ok?"
"Sure, sure, come in, and make yourselves at home." He ushered us into his picture perfect flat. The walls were an emerald green, like his eyes [choke. choke. gag. gag], and everything seemed to fall perfectly into place!
"It isn't a mess yet, the school year just ended a couple of days ago!"
"Harry, Draco needs some wizarding clothes that you might have to spare, is that ok? He needs them to go back to his estate."
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do, hold on a second while I go get them." , with that he went out of the room, and into a dark blue room, that I assume is his own.
"What was this "school year just ended" rubbish all about?", I whispered into Hermione's ear.
"You haven't heard?", Harry said as he burst back into the room with a stack of clothes. "I have been teaching at Hogwarts for the past two years, Defense Against the Dark Arts and I have also been coaching the Quidditch games as well! You should have seen Snape shaking in fury!!!! It was the best moment of my life!!!" He smiled and directed me towards what looked like a bathroom to change, and handed me the clothes. Leaving the two alone to talk about what they didn't want me to hear, I went into the lavatory. But I listened anyway! I kept my ear to the door as much as I could while changing. As I listened this is what I managed to make out:
"Have you told him what you suspect yet?"
"No, how am I suppose to tell him something of that magnitude, when you know he'll push it aside, and think of it as rubbish!"
" Yeah that is true, but it is worth a try, I mean that is why you brought him back! I mean of course you brought him also to save Ginny, but this involves something much greater, I hate to say, than that! We must defeat him, and after the war when we thought we did, I knew that it couldn't have been. Even Dumbledore thinks it true."
"I know, but don't you remember the way that you reacted when I first told you. Just imagine how he will react!"
"Yes, but that was also because you went from, Ohh I got tickets to the World Quidditch match, to Hey by the way you are the Order of Wind!"
-What in the hell are they talking about, Order of what.. Wind, what the hell does that mean, he farts too much or something?-
"Yes I remember, but that doesn't mean that he can't be eased into the idea!"
"Yeah, you are right, but do try to be gentler with him than you were with me because he is more likely to have a nervous breakdown or something."
"I'll take that into consideration, but you better not say ANYTHING, because I know that you would just about die if you had the chance to have him fall on his butt. how long does it take to put on some robes? He's been in there an awful long time!"
"DRACO, DO YOU NEED SOME HELP? DID YOU FALL INTO THE TOILET OR SOMETHING???", said Harry smart tone.
"NO, I THINK THAT I CAN MANAGE!", I said sternly, and I went back to putting my clothes on, and listen a bit less. Besides I have no idea what in the hell they are talking about anyway! And what is this Potter trying to play at? Does he think me a fool? I bet he is trying to be funny, ha! Potter, funny. in the same sentence! Now THAT is funny!!!! Ok, black turtleneck, with black pants.. ahh yes now the robe. What the bugger. GRYFFINDOR!!!! Now he has gone to far, giving me his stupid old school robe.
"POTTER, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT???"
"What ever are you talking about Draco", he said as if suspecting me to say something, of that mannwe. Tthe door flung open, and there was that prat standing there smirking at me as if I were they funniest damn thing in the world, "Ohh I must have "accidentally" given you the "wrong" robe, here ya go, this is the one I meant to give ya!!!" What I would give to slug him once, ONCE!!! But Hermione gave me that look again.
"Yeah, right Potter, laugh it up." I said, then I said a few things under my breath as that little prat and Hermione left the doorway. At least he got the right one this time!!! After I put it on I went out and eyed Hermione to get her to get us out of here.
"Alright we better be off then Harry!", said Hermione as she walked over to the door.
"Here, you'll be needing this for sure.", he said as he handed Draco a neatly folded old cloak, "It will come in handy when you go looking for Ginny! Just make sure that you bring it back to me in one piece!" With a nod and a reluctant thank you from yours truly, we were off, into what was now a beautiful morning, to set our plan into action, and save the one I love. What I didn't know was that there was something that did connect me to all that had happened, something deep within, something that I thought I had simply inhereited from my father, my frigid heart.
