Heartless
Chapter twelve
Draco couldn't stand it, he was pacing in his and Harry's rooms, Narcissa was sat on the sofa chewing at her nails in a graceful fashion of course. He was on the verge of tears and wouldn't have admitted that to any one. Dumbledore had reassured him that Harry would be returned safely, a part of him didn't believe the headmaster.
"Draco dear, please sit down, your making me nervous."
"I'm so sorry mum, but … I can't lose him."
"And you won't."
"He and Elena are all I have and right now I have neither."
"And you will get them back, have faith my dragon." Then after a short pause where Draco sank down into the sofa next to her and she put her arms around her son she added "Your father is still there, he will help them."
Draco looked up at her, "Mum, Dad's hardly going to help Harry, they hate each other."
"But he knows how much he means to you, he only wants you to be happy."
Meanwhile at Riddle Manor Harry and Voldermort where locked in a staring contest, unable to use their wands and with no alternative weapons to use. Very suddenly Voldermort grabbed a chair and smashed it against the wall. A move which surprised Harry a little as he had no expected it although when Voldermort threw a piece of splintered wood at him he caught it.
"Transfigure it into a weapon of your choice and I'll do the same, unless of course you do not intend to fight me."
"Where's Elena?"
"I knew when I took her that you would come but I don't know why."
"Why what?"
"Why do you care?"
"That's the thing about Gryffindor's, we'll care about anything."
"Including the child of a Slytherin?"
"Including the Slytherin!"
"How very noble of you, although I should have expected nothing less from a Gryffindor. So how is this going to work?"
"Simple, I kill you and I walk out of here alive with Elena, who will also be alive, you kill me and everything I have is yours, Elena, Draco, the Order and everything that I care about."
"Your willing to give me your life in both senses whereas all you want from me is the child … I underestimated how much she meant to you."
"You underestimate a lot of things, including me." Harry transfigured his piece of the chair into a sword and swung it, preparing for an attack. Voldermort transfigured another piece into the same weapon.
"Yes, I suppose I did but I have always thought hero's so predictable, like you coming here tonight."
"Don't sound so smug, I knew this was a trap, the only reason I came here was for Draco and for Elena."
"Noble to the end Harry Potter and this will be your end and then I'll kill everyone who you ever loved, including your traitorous boyfriend."
Harry ran forward swinging his mighty weapon (hehehe, if you've never read Chains you won't understand this) and attacking Voldermort.
"What if he's hurt?" Draco was saying to his mother, they still hadn't moved from Draco and Harry's rooms and Draco was pacing again.
"I'm sure Harry's fine Dragon, come on we should go and get something to eat."
