A/n: I was asked to bring Draco back AFTER I read this so it was already written.
Chapter Nine: What REALLY Happened
Harry's PoV before the funeral in the morning.
I woke up to two owls knocking on my window. One was from Dumbledore saying there was a funeral for Draco. I got up and choose what I was going to wear for the funeral totally forgetting about the other owl. Until it landed on my head. I took the letter from its leg and read it. It read:
Harry,
Meet me in the leaky cauldron. I need to tell you something. Dress in something your willing to get dirty and wrecked. We might have to battle. (Not each other)
The Ferret
Not knowing who 'The Ferret' was I threw the letter in the trash, decided to meet him or her any way, and choose something I would battle in. ( jeans and a t-shirt) I apparated to Diagon alley then walked to the leaky cauldron. Then I saw something covered from head to toe in a black cloak. I walked over to it and asked "The Ferret?"
"Harry?" said the man "good now follow me." I followed him.
Once we were out of there into muggle London we went into a dark alley where no one would see us. Then the ferret told me to apparate to Hogsmead. So I did.
We walked in to The Three broom sticks. And the ferret took the cloak off of his head. And to my big surprise it was Draco Malfoy. The one who was murdered by Voldemort himself.
"You were killed. I saw you there holding a funeral for you right now." I said
"I know. But I wasn't killed. They knew you would come and someone was hiding behind you and told Voldemort you were there so he knew that you would look away before he actually killed me. He replaced me with Wormtail and killed him. He wanted every one to believe that I was dead. Its all part of a plan to get Hermione to come to the dark side but it didn't work. Now I'm in hiding. Now let's go to the forbidden forest."
I was still very shocked at this but I went with him all the same. We watched the whole funeral from behind the trees. Then after it was over he said "The final battle will be tonight. Soon Voldemort will come and ask Mione to come over to the dark side and he will let Cho, Ron, and Ginny live. Not the one that's in the hospital. That's pansy I found out last night. Ginny's being held captive. Pansy has been taking a Polyjuice potion that lasts up to a year for 5 years, its wearing off tonight and pansy will take Hermione whether she likes it or not. Now I have to go." With that he apparated.
I walked out of the forest and found Hermione.
"Mione!" I yelled and got her attention
"Why weren't you here?"
"I was in the shower when I got it then right before I left I noticed I couldn't find my wand. And by the time I found it the funeral was already over." Hermione gave me a look that said I don't believe you. "Fine I got another owl from someone and that I had to meet him and well the point is the final battle is tonight." Then she believed me
"Tonight? Who told you?"
"Someone on the inside."
"Oh."
A/n: now you see why these are so short because I couldn't make it together like that just like the next chapter. So stay tuned!
