I don't own Harry Potter in any way.
Draco walked down the snow strewn streets with his hand in his pocket enclosed over his wand. Someone was following him. He heard footsteps muffled by the freshly fallen snow and spun around to be met with and empty street. He started walking again, heading for the edge of town when he heard it again. He drew his wand and spun around again only this time he saw a man wearing a black cloak before he was knocked out.
He groaned and opened his eyes. He was in a house or something like a house. He tried to move his arms only to find them bound to the chair he was in.
"Good your awake." A man said from beside him. Draco tried to turn his head to see who it was because he faintly recognized the voice.
"Sorry." The man said and moved around in front of him. Draco studied the man's lined face and graying hair for a minute before finally remembering.
"Professor Lupin?" He asked.
"Well I'm not a professor anymore. You can call me Remus." Remus replied.
"Why am I tied up?" Draco asked pulling at his bonds.
"We don't know whether your on our side or Voldemort's." Remus replied giving Draco a 'you should have known it' look.
"But I'm not on the Dark Lord's side." Draco said his eyes downcast.
"This says your are." Remus said pulling up Draco's sleeve to reveal the dark mark. Draco shuddered and launched into the story of how he nearly murdered Dumbledore and of how he fled with Snape to his mother's house after the Hogwarts battle.
Remus stared at Draco for a few minutes then looked at Tonks who was standing behind him in an invisibility cloak.
"He's not lying." Remus finally conceded and untied Draco.
Tonks flung off the cloak and shook Draco's hand while explaining how they were related.
"So you're my cousin?" Draco asked uncertainly rubbing his sore wrists.
"Yep," Tonks replied, "Glad your with us little cousin, we need the help. Harry's been eluding us for awhile now."
"OW!"
"Don't move!"
"But it hurts!"
"Baby."
"Am not!" Harry grumbled and extended his left hand towards Hermione again.
"Yes you are and you need to see a Healer." Hermione said exasperatedly.
"You know I can't!" Harry replied upsetting a bottle of potion sitting on the table which started to eat through the wood.
Ron cleaned up the mess while Harry went into the living room, his left hand bandaged and swollen.
"He needs to see a healer." Hermione said again.
"What did that thing do exactly?" Ron asked.
"I don't know." Hermione said looking quite unhappy with her lack of ideas.
"So Draco, your Mom died?" Tonks asked as Draco sipped some of his butterbeer.
"Yes not long ago." Draco said and took another gulp of his drink.
"Sorry I never met her." Tonks said sadly.
"I know where he is!" Remus yelled from the living room.
Tonks and Draco ran into the living room just as Remus stood up.
"What?" Draco asked looking at Remus.
"I know where Harry is but we have to hurry." Remus said and apparated them all.
No one saw the snowy white owl swoop out of the window nor did they see the envelope bearing the name Moony laying on the desk.
Harry watched as Remus appeared with Tonks and to his amazement Draco Malfoy. Harry's eyes scanned over a piece of parchment before banishing it and stepping into the dim light of the kitchen.
"Harry." Remus said and engulfed his best friends son in a hug.
Once Remus let go Harry greeted Tonks and stared at Draco.
"Potter, I…"
"Save it. I know your story. Come on let's go to the living room." Harry said and walked into the living room.
Hermione was surprised to see Draco Malfoy but she was pleased he was on their side. They needed more help. Ron of course was skeptical.
"So, what's going on? Where have you been? What have you been doing?" Remus asked quickly.
Harry grinned, "You sound like I did almost two years ago in Grimmauld Place."
After a brief explanation Remus took a look at Harry's hand.
"You need to see a healer." Remus said leaning back away from Harry's swollen red hand.
Harry sighed and rewrapped his hand while telling everyone to pack their things.
"It's time to go back. Back to where it all happened." Harry said.
Okay everyone I know it's a day early but it's also short. I'll start updating sooner if more people review.Hint hint. ;)
