A/N: This chapter might be crap because I'm rushing due to the fact that
I'm going on my vacation tonight. I have six hours to think up what happens
next and write it since I didn't make a draft of this chapter. I haven't
even finished packing everything yet!!! And I still need to shower and get
dressed. At least all my homework's done. Well, this chapter will probably
be rather short.
And please wish me luck. The SARS plague thing is really worrying, I'm so scared I won't be able to get onto the plane.
PS: If you were waiting for this, please thank Miseryslilwench who threatened me to write it before I go.
Fairytale-ish
Confrontation, confusion and chaos
Draco returned to the Inn that night to find Harry, asleep next to Hermione, wine bottles and glasses scattered on the floor. A fire burned inside him as he looked at Hermione and Harry.
The too friends woke up to find icy silver eyes staring down at them. No words were said as the prince stood up.
"Draco, why did you bring her into this? She didn't do anything wrong." Draco just stared.
Two very large men came into the room. They were some of Draco's thieves. The two walked over to Hermione.
"Guard her. If she escapes, I'll cut your heads off." He said as he walked away.
"My father never killed anyone." It was the first time the girl spoke to the Dragon since she came. Her voice held confidence and certainty.
Draco sighed. He knows he doesn't believe her. But Harry does, he thought. I can't let him control me. He has enough control over me already.
And with that, he walked out of the room, leaving Hermione with the two guards.
Draco felt warm hands on his arms. He turned to see the prince.
"Draco, please let her go, she didn't do anything wrong."
"Harry, her family killed my father. I'm seeking my revenge just as you are."
"Her family killed no one! I know them, they were very nice people."
"You might believe her lies but I don't." Draco shook his arms away from Harry. " I can't let her go just because you tell me to. I plan on avenging my father's death as well as yours. I'm going to the Aurum Leoninus, are you coming or not?"
The prince didn't say anything, he just followed the Dragon out. I should leave this matter for now, now I'm going to the Aurum Leoninus to find out what the hell's been going on."

The corridor was lit with the pale orange light of the rows of candles. Harry had led ten of the thieves into the palace through the underground tunnels he used to play in as a child. Prince Oliver and Fleur Delacour were left behind despite his protest. He was still a little bit week and Draco sent Fleur to make sure he doesn't follow them.
The gang sneaked through the kitchen and into the corridor easily since there was no feat tonight and there were not so many people left for them to feed.
Draco had made Harry wear his black attire. His face was masked for fear that his prince would be recognised. If anyone knew he was here, then he would be in danger. Plus they would see him with the Dragon. He didn't know how Griffindors would react to that but he knew they would not be so accepting.
They reached a crossroad. The small gangs were separated into groups of three and four. They were looking for clues as to who was the murderer.
Harry led Draco, Ron and Ginny down the corridor to the guest quarters.

Prince Neville was on his way to see Princess Cho. Though the seventeen- year-old felt guilty for his family's death he swallowed down his guilt. He did it for his Princess. He knows she won't tie herself with anyone who is only second best.
Then as he walked on he saw something. A black shadow in the translucent orange light. The prince went to the cross between the two corridors.
He came face to face with a teenage boy. Though his face was masked, the other prince recognised him immediately. Prince Harry!!
How could it be? He thought. He should be dead. Princess Cho will not be pleased.
The second oldest prince drew his sword as he yelled. "GUARDS!!! "
Unlike Hermione's castle, the palace this place had guards all over the place. If it weren't for Harry they would have been caught a long time ago.
Suddenly guards were all over the place, surrounding them and all the thieves.
Everyone drew their swords as chaos filled the area like water filing an ocean. The clanking noise was deafening, waking up everyone in the palace.
Neville attacked Harry with his sharp silver sword. Harry's sword came up, blocking his brother's.
Neville cornered Harry before he could tell his brother who he is. Their fight moved from the corridor into the library.
Neville shut the door. His brother was on guard, his posture ready for attack. With one hand on he sword the Prince removed his mask.
"Neville it's me."
The older prince just smirked. "I know, " he said as he launched forward at his younger brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco noticed that his beloved Prince was no longer with him in the corridor during their fight. A protective ness stirred in him. He pushed his sword into the stomach of the guard he was fighting, and fought his way through the chaos to look for Harry.
A few minutes later, Harry was still not found, he began to panic as he saw a large golden door. He pushed in, hoping to find his prince.
He stepped into the gigantic hall, decorated with intricate lines of pure gold. Someone else was already in the room. It was Cornelius Fudge.
The man turned around, surprised to see that the infamous Dragon had entered the palace. Then he noticed the features on the blonde's face. He recognised them immediately.
He surprised melted into an ugly smirk. " You are a Malfoy." He said as he drew his sword and attacked the masked thief.

Sorry for the cliffhanger there, it's a short chapter, I know but I really need to get going I'm leaving very soon. I know it's not very good, but I was really in a hurry. Anyway, I'll see you all again after 22nd April 2003.
See how much I love you guys. I'm going on vacation in a few hours, I haven't finished packing or taken a shower yet and still I'm sitting here updating my story for you. Please return my love by reviewing. (Makes sad puppy dog eyes.)
And please wish me luck. The SARS plague thing is really worrying, I'm so scared I won't be able to get onto the plane.
