Chapter 4: Finally


___________________________________________________________________


Harry and the others amusedly followed. He noticed that the Russians were pointing at his scar like everyone else. The dining hall had round tables with five chairs that were placed like an expensive diner.

Before anyone could go any further. They noticed someone they all knew too well. He was now tall, an inch taller than Harry. His silvery-blond hair was cropped short above his hair. He was wearing a dark blue silk shirt with it's sleeves rolled up and matching black slacks. His gray eyes were still the same stormy color. He was leaning against the wall watching them like a predator. Pansy squealed and ran up to hug him, but Draco Malfoy ignored her and them as he turned away and walked out of the hall to wherever he went.
"That was one of our brightest student." Romanov grinned. "From your school."
"Yes he used to go to Hogwarts." Snape responded. He hated the cold look in Draco's eyes. The were so full of hate and anger.
Harry felt his eyes water up, but he didn't let a tear fall. So Draco was hiding out in Rasputa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco walked to his room and slammed the door. He grabbed the nearest thing to him was an ice sculpture of cupid. He threw it against the wall and chairs followed. Why did he have to come or rather they. But no they couldn't stay at Hogwarts. He started to maniaclly laugh as he slid down the wall to the floor. Soon his laughter was replaced by tears and bitter emotions.

~~~~~~

"I don't get it. What's wrong with him?" Pansy asked, hoping anyone would respond. "He changed so much." Harry agreed. Malfoy did change. He was definitely hot and cold. "Excuse me." Harry said to no one in particular. Harry didn't know where he was going, he just let his feet take him anywhere and he ended up on a archway that overlook what was the quidditch field. It was two times bigger than Hogwarts and much nicer. Harry sighed and looked down at the ground. Draco was standing in the middle of the fill with a twelve inch dagger. Alarmed Harry took to the stairs that lead to the field. He slowly walked up to Malfoy and the ex-Slytherin didn't hear him. He was muttering something and Malfoy pointed the tip of the dagger to his heart.

"This is my final goodbye, Snape." Draco said. He looked up to the stars and saw his parents face again like the night he was on the castles tower. "I found my reason to die and I have no more reason to live." He pointed the dagger at his heart and knew that there was no turning back. Death was the only solution for him. He would be with his parents again, like they were meant to be.
"There's every reason to live." Draco almost dropped the knife out of surprise. He glanced at the boy he hated the most in the world. He lost the glasses and his dark hair spilled over his handsome face. He was still untidy as ever. Potter's green eyes blazed with some sort of fire and Draco closed his eyes so he wouldn't be affected.
He ignored everything around him once again and pushed the sharp dagger forward to his chest, only to have it roughly taken away.
"You can't just kill yourself Malfoy. Otherwise your parents sacrifice would be in vain."
"You're one to talk." Draco calmly said. In the past he would sneer or snarl at Potter, but like everything else that was in the past. "Seeing that you made them die in the first place."
"How the hell would I know that your father would throw himself in front of Voldemort's killing curse to save Snape and I didn't know your mother tried wounding him."
"But you were there." Draco opened his eyes to stare at the stars. His parents were waiting for him. "Give me back my dagger Potter."
"No." Potter said. "Not until you tell me why you're here."
"No reason."
"There's always a reason for everything Malfoy." Potter quietly said in a concerned voice.
"I'm sure there is."
"Would you stop that!" Potter shouted. "What happened to you Malfoy."
"I happened to have change."
"I know that. But-but you're so emotionless now." Potter took a step closer. "Your eyes are blank and you seem devoid of feelings. What happened to the proud son of Lucius Malfoy?"
"You tell me." Draco looked back up to the stars, they were now beckoning him to come and join them.
"You can have your dagger back if you can get it back." Malfoy heard a smirk in that voice. Potter was taunting him and Draco was always there to accept that challenge.
"No need." Draco said. "There's plenty where that came from. You're only here for three days anyway." Draco whispered. "You can keep it." And before he knew it Potter punched him and Draco stumbled back. He looked up to meet Potter's blazing green eyes, he held the dagger in a murderously grip and threw it at Draco's feet, missing him by a few inches.
"Well go ahead and kill yourself Malfoy." Potter snarled. "Show me how weak you are."
Draco smiled. "Gladly." He picked up the knife and with one last look at Potter he stabbed
himself. Draco didn't let go, not until he felt his blood run down his hand like a red spring. He fazed out into unconcinous.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry ran after Snape to the Quidditch ground where he left Malfoy in the same position that Harry left him in.

"Well he be okay?" Harry asked. Snape didn't respond, he slowly pulled the dagger out and Draco's face grimaced in pain. Snape healed his wound and picked him up.

Harry didn't think that Draco would actually do it. It was scary. Malfoy looked death in the eye and smiled.

He followed Snape to what Harry thought was an infirmary, but the door was opened by a nurse and Snape deposited Malfoy onto a green bed. They were in Malfoy's room. He had a family portrait at the top of his bed and there a picture of the three Malfoy's together by the bedside table.

"He didn't hit any major arteries." The nurse said as she examined him. "He'll live."
Harry watched her help Malfoy drink some water from a glass. "Plently of liquid would help to a speedy recovery and make sure he eats." The nurse informed Snape.
"I have to be a judge at the conference." Snape said.
"I'll keep an eye on him professor." Harry said.

"Good. Then it's settled." The nurse said. She left Harry and Snape. Hours later Snape left, leaving Harry alone with Draco.
