Chapter 12:

"They were here professor, I swear, He has Malfoy," said Harry, all at once.

"I know Harry, I believe you, I'll have to send a letter to the ministry, this won't go well with Lucius," said Dumbledore.

Harry gulped. He picked up the torn newspaper clipping, and handed it to Dumbledore. A look of surprise and terror crossed his face. "Oh dear, Lucius and Draco gone, Narcissa won't take this easily," said Dumbledore.

"It's not what you think Professor, I mean, Malfoy didn't really kill his father, His father wanted him to become a death-eater," said Harry.

"Tell me more Harry," said Dumbledore, suddenly intrigued.

Harry told Dumbledore the whole story of how Lucius tried to kill Draco, but Draco managed to get away. Finally when Harry was finished, Dumbledore spoke up, "I know where they are, we have no more time left to ponder, come with me Harry, back up to your dormitory, and stay there," he said.

"Yes Professor, but I would like to ask, If I may, Where do you think they are?" asked Harry.

"Harry, do you remember when you touched the cup and were teleported to that grave-yard? that's where they are most likely to be," said Dumbledore.

That night, Harry didn't sleep very well, his scar burned on his forehead, Voldemort was near. Finally when Harry did manage to get to sleep, he had horrible and realistic dreams. He saw Malfoy being totured by Voldemort, Trying to wriggle away, Voldemort raised his wand and pointed it at Malfoy, "Avada Kedavra!" he yelled.

Harry woke up screaming, "No,Malfoy!"

"Wha?" said a voice nearby.

Harry boticed it as Ron's, "Uhh.....sorry Ron, It's just me, go back to sleep," said Harry.

But before Harry could say more, Ron's snores filled the room, once more. Harry's scream didn't seem to disturb anyone else, and Harry was thankful for that.

The next morning Harry sat at the table with Ron and Hermione, at breakfast. He lost his appetite, and every time he looked at the Slytherin table, he felt he was going to be sick. He saw Crabbe and Goyle's confused faces, and heard Pansy parkinson cry with worry. Harry hadn't told Hermione and Ron what happened yet, and was about to say something, when Snape appeared behind him. "I see Professor Dumbledore has let you back to Hogwarts," said Snape, "I wouldn't have done such an act for you".

He walked away with a swish of his cloak. "What's happening Harry, why did Dumbledore let you back early, and what happened to Malfoy?" Ron demanded.
