Chapter Three: Questions
It was about Three in the afternoon when they got back to Hogwarts. Harry had many questions running threw his mind. And he wanted all the answers but Hermione and Ginny both refused to give him any till after their last class of the day.
"Good we made back just in time." Hermione said as she grabbed some books. "What I need is a good class to get my mind off Mr. Malfoy then I want you and Ginny to meet me in the library after dinner."
Ginny agreed and went off to her care of Magical Creatures class, while Hermione went to History of magic with the Hufflepuffs. Harry looked at his class list and found he had potions every day of the week for this term. He has it at the last period of everyday with the Slytherins.
Harry walked to his potion class hoping to have some one he could work with that wasn't Neville. When he arrived he found that Cho Chang was sitting in the seat were Ron usually sat.
Draco could still hear Fudge saying four months in Azkaban. Would he able to last that long? He didn't even get to tell Ginny he loved her.
As they where dragging Draco to his cell, he could see things that looked a lot like living skeleton's. Their skin was dried up and cracked and bleeding. Most had sunken in eyes that were a cold shade of black. Some, Draco wonder, if they were even alive.
When they reached Draco's cell, they threw him into it. He landed with a hard thud. Draco pulled him self off the wet, cold, slimy cell floor.
"Welcome to your new palace, my lord." Said who man who arrested Draco. "I'll be back later with the rest for your punishment. Boy does your father have something in mind for you."
As the man walked away Draco heard screams and yells from the other prisoners. The sounds sent shivers up his spine. He could not believe he was here. All because of that man, the one he was forced to call father.
It seemed like hours till the man came back to Draco's cell. This time the man had a hooded figure with him. Draco's first thought was it was a Dementor . Then realized it was to short. The hooded man spoke, and his voice had made every nerve in Draco's body shake.
"Mr. Fraidy don't you think you could have put my son in a better cell, if you know what I mean." Lucius said as he removed his hod.
Mr. Fraidy open Draco's cell . Lucius followed him in to the small room, then Lucius walked over to his son who was sitting in a cold corner. Pick Draco up by his hair and said, "Did you really think they would believe the girl, after I told them about all the cruses and spells you put on her after she watched you torture her loved one." Lucius turned to Fraidy, "Now I want you to beat your heart out, on beating my kid . See ya in four months son."
Classes took forever. Harry was glad to get out of Potions. He just wanted to go back to his common room and hide under his bed. As Harry was walking to the Great Hall, he heard a group of voices coming up from behind him.
"Great, thats all i need." he thought as the group came closer.
"OH so we didn't get your self in jail," Pansy started to joke then realized Draco wasn't there. " Don't tell me my Dracies in the yucky dirty place," she said as she slammed harry against the cold stone wall.
"Fine i won't tell you" Harry said as he felt as sharp pain in his left shoulder.
Than was fake cry for Blaise Zabini "You Cedric Hufflepuff killer."
"Why aren't we the smart one?" Harry said to Blaise.
"Hey stop it leave him alone, he hasn't hurt any body" came a voice from behind Pug face Pansy.
It was Cho, she had seen the group of Slytherins picking on Harry and couldn't take any more of it. She smacked Pug on the back of the head .
"Put him down Puggy" Cho said in a deadly voice.
Pansy did what she was told. The rest of the Slytherins pushed passed Cho and Harry, and went of the stuff their faces.
" Harry can I talk to you?" Cho asked as she placed her hand on Harry's shoulder
"Why are you talking to me? Don't you know I killed your boyfriend last year. I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way. It just with..."
Cho put a finger up to Harry's lips to hush him. "There is some thing I have to tell you." She started. "Cedric was my best friend, and yes I miss him very much."
Harry wasn't quit sure where this was going. They walked into the Great Hall. All eyes fell on them. Harry could feel every ones eyes boring into him. Harry and Cho sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"Cho what are you doing with the murderer. Duh, remember he killed your boyfriend." A Ravenclaw called from her table.
"I see we won't be able to talk here, " Cho said, as she saw Hermione's and Ginny's eyes watching her every move. Cho bent down and whispered in Harry's ear, "Meet me by the lake at midnight tonight."
Harry watch as Cho went back to her own table. Then he turned to Hermione and Ginny.
"So what are we up to, in the library." Harry asked.
"First you tell us what that was all about?" Ginny asked as she bit into a hamburger.
"I really don't know?" Harry said playing with the peas on his plate. "She said she has to talk to me about something."
"OH" both girls said at the same time smiling at him. After dinner the three of them walked to the library.
"Oh right, I need to prove that Draco didn't kill Ron, that Mr. Malfoy killed him." Hermione started.
"OH NO" Harry butt in. " You guys said that if I went to my last class you two would answer my questions."
Ginny sighed, "All right what do you want to know?"
"HOW LONG WERE YOU AND MALFOY DATING AND ARE YOU REALLY HAVING HIS BABY?' Harry yelled so the whole library could hear him.
Ginny blushed and put her hand over his mouth. " Harry please don't yell I don't need the whole school to know. Draco and I started to date at the end of last year. I just found out a week before Ron was killed that I was going to have a baby. And yes it is Draco's."
Harry was over come with what he had just heard. "Okay then way didn't Ron or you" Harry glared at Hermione. "Owled me. And were Malfoy and Ron really becoming friends?"
Hermione took a deep breath, " we did owl you, and when I came over to see why you didn't answer, your uncle told me that if we sent another to your house, he was going to shoot it, and you wouldn't be allowed to come back to Hogwarts. Yes Draco and Ron did become friends and they couldn't wait to tell you."
Harry started to cry. He couldn't believe his best friend had burned the haystack with his enemy and they became friends, and now Draco was sitting in a place no one wanted to go.
"Now one last question." Harry turned to Ginny "What are you going to name the baby?"
A/N: Okay I know this is not the best chapter in the world. But believe this stuff is going to tie in with the rest of the story later. I just want to get this stuff out of the way. Next chapter is going to be here soon.
