A.N- Wow, shadowseeker- I was so touched that you actually reviewed asking me to come back I had to keep going. You are so wonderful wipes tear away I know this is short but lately I have been very busy with school, but I had to post something because it meant a lot that you are still a loyal reviewer.

Harry immediately looked to the side avoiding Draco's eyes. Although he knew this was coming it didn't make it any easier to admit.
"Well?" Draco hissed looked over his shoulder making sure no one was coming towards where they were hidden. Harry suddenly felt a surge of anger at Draco's behavior that he couldn't quite explain.
"Why are you bothering to ask?! You know it did! You know what happened!" Harry exploded, his voice tinged with pain and helplessness and anger he shoved Draco away and crossed his arms. Draco was speechless, shocked at this unexpected surge of anger, he knew they weren't close but he hadn't expected Harry to be angry at him.
"I just…well… fine! We can't keep ignoring this issue forever!" Draco snapped becoming frustrated and nearing desperation. Harry had to do something- he was the only one of them who could!
"What do we have to discuss, what could we possibly do?!" Harry yelled clearly not thinking of keeping his voice down. Draco however was more practical and knew Harry's shouting would attract students and tried to quiet the agitated boy.
"Don't make such a racket" he hissed, Harry just glared at him, tired, upset and wanting for forget about the whole ordeal. He pushed past Draco and left the other boy standing there alone. After a few moments Draco shook his head, snapping himself out of his stupor and scowled at Harry's behavior, the boy was being selfish and immature, after all without him the Wizarding world was doomed! He shook his head and headed towards the great hall as well, shoving several people out of the way.
Little did either of them know Hermione Granger had heard the whole thing, unfortunately it had all been vague but it confirmed her suspicions- something was horribly wrong.
Harry entered the Great Hall surprised to see Ron sitting alone eating breakfast. He slid next to Ron who was shoveling food into his mouth at the usual rate.
"Where is Hermione?" Harry asked quietly, but Ron just shrugged, not really answering. Their relationship had becoming strained to say the least and while Ron still cared about Harry he was at a loss as to how to act around his friend's strange behavior.
Just as Harry began poking at his breakfast Hermione plopped down on his other side.
"Where were you?" asked Harry being unusually conversational.
"Oh, library" Hermione said dismissing it with a wave of her hand. None of them said anything else as they finished their breakfasts. Hermione's mind was going a million miles an hour as she tried to figure out what was going on and where Malfoy fit into it. She couldn't help noticing Malfoy hadn't sounded like his usual self when speaking to Harry, in fact he had been acting very differently lately. She sighed to herself, when she had heard Harrys responses and how helpless he had sounded she knew it was something big, but why wouldn't he tell anyone? On their way to their first class Hermione slipped away hoping Harry wouldn't be mad, she had to inform the headmaster. This was something that seemed bigger than Harry or her could handle. Quietly slipping among the halls now vacated of students Hermione made her way to Dumbledore's office.
