The Ten Plagues of Malfoy
Chapter 13 The Parting of the Red Sea
A/N Well peeps here it is, you have to enjoy this and leave plenty of reviews, this is the last chapter you see. However you need not worry because on August the 23rd or 24th check your inboxes and fanfic accounts, you may just find a sequel.
Any guesses on the Red Sea? It will be hilarious once you understand, it's right at the end. Tee Hee!!!
At dinner, for about the thousandth time that day Harry zoned out from Hermione's lecture about forgiving Ron, and begging to be let back into the tower.
"Hermione, just shut up!" Something inside Harry had just snapped and he wasn't going to bottle up his anger again, this time he would let rip. "Please Hermione, I know what you are going to say and no I will not apologise."
"Harry."
"This whole hall can hear what I have to say, I will not forgive the homophobic bastard, even if he gets down on both knees and kisses the hem of my robe like a bloody Death Eater does to Voldemort. Once a phobe always a phobe."
"But, it's not like that."
"Yes Hermione I know that he isn't homophobic but it is racism. Why won't he let me go out with a pureblood? I can't choose who I fall in love with and neither can the rest of these inbred prats."
"Harry I think that you should calm down."
"Calm down? You know best of all that once I am angry I don't stop until it is all gone. For once just let me yell to my hearts content."
"Fine, but can we take it outside?" Hermione asked gently, he was rewarded with a scowl to match Malfoy's any day.
"No, I quite like making a scene, it can get into the Daily Prophet for all I care. Just as long as the world knows that family grudges seem to be greater than friendship. Friendship that has lasted for 7 years without wavering, and then suddenly kaboom, gone." Harry collapsed into a flood of tears on the bench and had to be comforted by Hermione.
"Harry, I'm sorry." A guilty looking Ron whispered.
"No, you can be the one to be turfed out of the tower, I have more right to be there, I am Head Boy after all. So clear your stuff out you ginger minger." Ron stalked off out of the hall and Draco snuck across to help comfort Harry.
"Harry darling? Are you up for a little walk in the grounds as it's our last night here?" Draco had pulled Harry into a hug and could feel Harry nodding limply into his shoulder. "Come on then." They stood up and walked out of the hall, with Harry leaning heavily on Draco.
Hermione couldn't help but feel sorry for Harry, she never knew that Ron would take it so badly. She also never knew that Harry was so weak inside, he had always portrayed himself to be a strong person. It was then that she noticed the looks that people were giving the door and then their gazes transferred to her. "Yes, Harry and Draco are a couple so stop staring at me like that. And leave them be, they've already gone through enough." She just hoped that it would do the trick.
"Harry? What exactly happened to make you this angry?" Draco asked cautiously, he had been concerned about Harry and what had got him all worked up, Draco just prayed that it could be easily solved.
"Ron, I told him and Hermione earlier about us," Harry paused to wipe away a tear, "'Mione was fine about it, she's happy for us, but Ron. Well he doesn't care about me being gay, but because he hates your family name so much he can't see past that. He even thinks you're a Death Eater. I told him that you weren't and he chucked me out of the tower."
"I see, so why did you and Hermione argue at dinner?"
"She thinks that I should forgive him and try to be friends again. I don't see the point personally, even if he apologises I can't forgive him – I don't believe in second chances."
"So why did you, never mind. Now do you feel better?"
"A little, but that's only because I'm with you at the moment. Will you stay with me tonight in case he does anything to me?"
"Certainly, you don't need to ask. I just find it surprising that the Boy-Who-Lived is scared of a red-headed, hot-tempered, grudge-holding Gryffindor and not a Slytherin Dark Lord that has been trying to kill you for the past 18 years, you're so strange sometimes."
"But that's why you love me though isn't it?"
"Yeah. Now shall we go and see if the mud-Granger has managed the damage control?" Draco asked the man he was currently hugging; yet again Harry nodded gently into Draco's shoulder.
"Oh no."
"What's happened Hermione?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Now that we've graduated I can't use the library again."
"Hermione there are better libraries out there, we can find you a new one eh?"
"If you say so Harry."
"I do, now that we have graduated and I never have to go back to the Dursley's I will go and live with Draco." Draco who had been silent, suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze up.
"Draco?" Hermione asked, sensing that something was wrong.
"Well my parents don't know that I am gay and they might kill you if they find out that you finally became my friend."
"Ah, then I will try to get the plot of land that my parents house was built on, I should be entitled to it as their sole heir."
"Nice idea, now let's go and leave this place forever." Draco said as they continued descending the many stairs. Upon reaching the bottom they were greeted by the whole Weasley clan.
"Congratulations Harry, and Hermione." Molly and Arthur said simultaneously.
"Thanks, now if you don't mind we were leaving." Harry said as politely as he could manage.
"Don't think you're getting away that easily." Ron shouted from the back.
"Why not?" Harry replied.
"I saw Lucius outside."
"Yeah right Weasel." Draco said uncertainly. Harry just held up his hand to signal silence and the clan split into two halves for no apparent reason. Making a pathway for the three to pass safely through and allow them to escape out of the Entrance Hall. As expected, Lucius was nowhere to be seen. Letting Draco sigh with relief and Harry to squeeze the remaining air out of Draco in a tight hug.
