PROLOGUE

As one of the Wizarding worlds finest castle's and schools crumpled to the ground, a small crowd watched it do so in sadness. A young man of seventeen put his arm around a brunette woman who stood at his side and she heavily leaned onto him, tears rolling down her cheeks.

As his home for the past seven years crumpled to the ground he became aware of how many had been killed, five ninths of the Weasley Family had been lost, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall where amongst the ones lost, Seamus and Dean were others. As he looked around his eyes fell on a man with placid blonde hair sitting a little ways away from the group, his head was bowed. Harry let go of the woman beside him, his best and closest friend Hermione Granger and made his way towards the man taking a seat beside him.

"How are you doing Draco?"

Grey eyes met Emerald as he replied, "Better I think."

"Don't worry things will get better. We'll all get through this."

"I hope so Harry…"

Harry made his way back to the Gryffindor Common Room as he reflected on that nights dinner from Ron's complaining about Neville's snoring to Malfoy sending him a strange look in the middle of the feast.

Suddenly he was grabbed and pulled into a deserted classroom backwards, turning around sharply he came face to face with his enemy Draco Malfoy.

"HEY GET OFF ME MALFOY."

"Shutup Potter, I need your help with something."

Harry laughed, "You need my help?"

Malfoy glared at him, "Yes, believe it or not, I need your help."

Harry laughed again.

"It's not funny, this is serious!"

Trying to stay calm he replied, "What's got you so up tight Malfoy?"

"You can't tell anyone." The blonde urged.

Harry raised his eyebrow's, "OK, what is it?"

Malfoy pulled up his right sleeve to reveal a dark and haunting mark that made Harry loudly gasp, "you're a death eater?"

Malfoy looked at the floor, "They forced me. My father chained me to my bed while the dark lord did his work."

Harry considered the circumstances for a moment, "What has this got to do with me?"

Malfoy looked up at him his cheeks slightly red, "I need you to keep sure that he doesn't kill me."

Harry took a step back, "Why? After all you've done to me and my friends in the past?"

Mafloy sighed, "Because no matter how hard you try not to accept it, you and I are alike. You are what I am not and I am what you are suppose to be. If your parents were alike, you'd be just like me. We think the same too, Don't you remember last year when Snape went missing and everyone went all mad looking for him and we both knew he'd be at the Old Oak tree on the boarder of the forest."

"Just cause we're alike doesn't give me a good enough reason to keep you alive," Harry responded sharply.

"What if I told you that if I was to die that the dark lord would become invincible," he choked.

"What do you mean Malfoy?" Harry asked with urgency.

Malfoy shook his head, "when I was born my father and the dark lord granted me the right as his rightful heir, that if he died I would take over all his remaining heirlooms, he left me with half his power, and then a few months later when he tried to kill you he lost another half of that, as soon as he regains half of his old power he will become invincible, how he was before you or I were born."

Harry was in shock by what he had just heard.

"Please Potter, if I die you all will. It won't be long till the dark lord realizes what he must do to be more powerful than ever, once he kills me not even you will be able to stand against his power…"

Harry shuddered at the memory of the night Draco and himself had both formed some sort of alliance.

"You didn't have to save me Harry, the world would be better without me," Draco sighed.

"You know why I had to save you Malfoy, if you died the whole Wizarding and muggle world would die with you," Harry informed him.

"But to sacrifice the life of you friend for mine? Was it worth the price?" Draco asked.

Harry could see the sadness in his eyes but the pain in his heart was even more overbearing.

"HARRY!"

Harry turned from where he dueled with Rodolphus Lestrange and the sound of his bestfriend Ronald Weasley's cry for help.

Turning he saw that Ron stood a mere three metres behind a frozen Draco Malfoy, a frozen Draco Malfoy who's fear was caused by the fact that Lord Voldemort's wand was pointing at him.

"AVADRA-"

Harry ran he couldn't let what was about to happen happen. Rodolphus sent a charm in his direction; he narrowly dodged it as he was near metres from Draco.

"KADARVA!"

Harry hit the ground Draco beside him as the charm flew over them.

Harry suddenly realised his mistake.

Voldemort had known that Harry would come to Draco's rescue, but it wasn't Draco he'd been cursing, it was Ron.

As his friend crumpled to the ground, he cried out in pain.

Harry brought himself to his feet, his emerald eyes flashing in rage, raising his wand to face it at the Dark Lord he shouted three words that he had been unfortunate to learn in the summer of his fifth year during his return journey to 12 Grimmauld Place.

"CRUCIA AVARDE IMPERIO!"

A jet of black light shot from the tip of his wand. He had just cast the darkest spell in history, a spell that condemned someone to hell a spell that no one had been able to cast since Salazar Slytherine.

As the Dark Lord fell to the ground Harry felt a strange felling rise inside him, as he dueled death eater after death eater, giant after giant, werewolf after werewolf, Vampire after Vampire. They weren't words that he was taught at school, they were forbidden, he no longer dueled with normal spells but those that were the darkest of magic. And as he fought he never considered that he was now a murder, he was as bad as Voldemort himself.

"Harry?"

Looking up to see Hermione and Ron's younger sister Ginny standing above them Harry Managed a smile.

"Harry we've been thinking about this, all of us, and we think its for the best that we all go our separate ways, continue on with life in the muggle world, stay away from magic for a while," Hermione informed him.

Harry nodded, he had to admit she was right.

"Snape and Remus have worked together and have been able to get us into College's around the country, we can live our lives as muggles and forget all this," Ginny forced a smiled.

Harry and Draco stood and nodded at the two girls.

"Maybe we'll meet up a few years from now, and we can all sit down and have a coffee and talk about our lives," Hermione smiled.

Nodding Harry turned to all of them as he farewelled them, "Till we meet again."

"Till we meet again," they chorused.
