Chapter 32 Discovering the Secrets

"Urge! NO! I won't kiss that… that… PIG!" Harry bellowed at Draco.

"YOU WILL IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU! AND SHE'S NOT A PIG!" Draco bellowed back. They had been trying to explain to each other how to act to people at Hogwarts. This of course was much easier in theory.

"Why did she have to be your girlfriend? What about Maria?" Harry asked. His voice was hoarse from yelling for the past hour.

"The deal was that I would keep a girl just for cover until I was truly engaged with who ever the Dark Lord appointed. I don't know when that'll be announced…." Draco stared at the floor for a while, "Was anything said about…about…"

"About what?" Harry asked in annoyance.

"…about… Oh no…" Draco started to pace the room.

"What?" Harry was slightly worried now.

"He said that she would be going to school right?" Draco stared into Harry's eyes. Harry nodded, "That was… Oh crap… You're- I'm… Well Potter! We're in trouble,"

"What do you mean?" Harry was slowly rising out of his chair.

"My betrothed coming to school was code for…." He stopped again.

"For what!"

"For…. Oh bloody hell…It was code for me to make my move…"
"On Maria?" Harry asked puzzled, "But I…"
"No not on her… Potter…" he looked at Harry again, "You know how there was a plan to kill you at that muggle house…"

"Yeah… So?"

"That was code for me to kill you at Hogwarts… At any cost," Harry blanched.

"Kill me… At school…?"
"Yeah and your friends too," Draco thought of something horrible. If he had to follow the plan he would have to kill Hermione…

"Exactly what was the plan?" Harry asked.

"…. To get the password from a prefect for the Gryffindor Common room and kill you all in your sleep under an invisibility cloak and slip back into my dormitory before anyone knew anything… If anyone had seen me I was under orders to kill them and anyone who got in my way…"

Harry just sat in silence.

"That means that if you're me…"

"I'd have to follow through with the plan… Would I have to kill all my roommates?"

"If they got in the way or woke up before you were out… yeah,"

"Damn…." Harry whispered to himself, "Would you do it? I mean now would you do it?"
"…" Draco hesitated before he spoke, "Well… Not now, no way…. Before… hell yeah,"

"You wouldn't kill her now would you?"

"No…. I would kill myself before I'd do anything like that…" Draco was slightly surprised at his answer. Although Harry wasn't he couldn't help but feel a little spur of jealously. Maybe Draco was jealous of Harry, or maybe it was Harry whom was the jealous one.

"When was the plan supposed to take place?"

"When I got an owl telling me it was time,"

"Would you guys like some tea?" Hermione stuck her head through the open doorway. Draco brightened up immediately. He wasn't all that thirsty but he said ok anyway. Just so he could see her a little longer.

"Sure Hermione…." Harry said a little cold but hiding it because that talk he and Hermione had had was promising. She had told him that as long as they were switched she would continue with a relationship with Draco as if they were going out. Meaning that she expected to go out with him, Harry. That lifted his spirits and made him smile but he still wished he were back in his own body.

"Ok," she disappeared for a second then walked through the door holding a tray with a teapot and a couple of cups. She set the tray down and poured tea into three cups and passed them out.

"Thanks," Harry said as he accepted his cup. Hermione walked over to Draco with his cup. As she handed him his cup their hands brushed. Hermione had her back turned to Harry so she smiled at Draco. She was beginning to have a crush on him. This year at Hogwarts was going to be interesting.
