Chapter 10: All Good Things Come To An End

It was bright, too bright. He could feel the sun burning the back of his neck like the parched sand in a drought desert. It wasn't ment to be like this. In the middle of November: it was ment to be cold. Yet now it was so unbearably hot.

Harry sat on a rock overlooking the lake thinking to him self. As hot as it was, he still managed to feel a cold shiver through him.

Today was one of those days… One he wished could simply be skipped (skip the entire year even). Nether the less he needed to get ready. Sighing in dejection he stood, and began to walk back up to the castle.

Harry stood in the common room fiddling with his tie. Hermione came out from the girls' dormitory and walked up to him, helping him out.

Hermione gave Harry a sad smile and said, "You look nice Harry, really nice."

"Thanks Hermione, you do too…"

Ron came down the stairs doing up the jacket of the suit he was wearing. He got to the bottom and fumbled, due to the fact he was still trying to do up his jacket, and wondered over to Harry and Hermione. Finishing the last buttons up his jacket he looked up at Harry and Hermione whom were both staring at him unbelievably.

Harry asked quizzically, "What are you doing?"

"I'm coming," Ron replied defiantly.

Harry felt his jaw go slack as he listened to Ron's words without hearing them. "Why!" his mouth stumbled as the words blurted their way out of his mind and onto his tongue. As Ron had never shown his interest in coming until now, the hasty idea being thrown out there so abruptly with two seconds before they were leaving made his mind swirl in confusion. It wasn't that he didn't want Ron to come; it's just something about it seemed strange.

"Coz I'm your best friend Harry. I want to be there for you," smiled Ron.

"Does that mean we're friends again?" asked Harry quietly.

Ron grinned, "Of course."

"We should get going," muttered Hermione.

Ron put his arm around Harry in a comforting way and Hermione led the way out of the common room, Harry and Ron following.

Flashback

"Can't you do something?"

"-Harry Madam Pomfrey knows what she is doing, all we can do is wait."

"But you're Dumbledore!"

"Thank you for informing me of that Harry, but there is nothing I can do. It's all in Madam Pomfrey's hands, and they are good hands at that…"

End Flashback

"Harry!"

There was shouting, people running. The next thing Harry knew he was looking up at many faces, all of which were staring at him.

"Why am I on the floor?" he questioned as he sat up.

Ron rubbed the back of his head and answered in a way that made it sound like he didn't know what had happened him self. "Well the last thing I knew you were walking besides us and then there was a thump and, well, you were on the floor. I dunno."

"Harry, have you been sleeping," Hermione asked worry mounting "or eating at that?"

"Well---err…that is to say no, I…um…haven't," mumbled Harry inaudibly, blushing slightly as everyone continued to stare.

"Oh Harry. You must. You know its bad for your health," sighed Hermione, brushing dust from his robes.

"Well I've been just slightly pre-occupied lately." Harry grunted.

Hermione shook her head as they helped him up. They were in a magnificent garden, though it looked like someone had put garden equipment in a field, it was so huge. Flowers were everywhere, hanging from balconies, in pots on the doorstep…in people's hands. He turned around to look elsewhere feeling uncomfortable.

By a pond, or rather a lake, there were lots of chairs set up. The sun was still burning down brightly on them. There were roughly fifty people there some sitting on the chairs and some standing around talking.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione went and sat down on the chairs. The three sat quietly, morbidly in the haunting silence for fifteen minutes. At that time everybody else followed suit. Harry glanced around. He could see many familiar faces: professor Dumbledore, professor Snape, Pansy Parkinson, Crab, Goyle, Luscious Malfoy and many more. He felt a nudge and he fallowed Hermione's gesture to the front.

Flashback

"Harry, calm down, you'll do yourself damage."

"How the fuck can I calm down!"

Shards of glass and pieces of china pots glistened on the floor. A loud crash and more glass fallowed in the distinct pattern.

"He's in there dieing and all you're doing is sitting there. Madam Pompfrey has nothing on you!"

Another crash as Harry threw a crème vase on the floor with a smash.

"Harry, please…"

Harry took a deep breath and sat back down next to Dumbledore, head in his hands.

End Flashback

"First of all…I would like to thank you all for coming here today. Secondly on a rather rude note, it has been requested that anyone from the newspapers should leave at this time."

At this three people got up and walked out.

"Thank you. Now, shall we begin?"

Flashback

A door creaked open; Harry's eyes flew open. Dumbledore was walking out of the hospital wing.

"What's going on? How long have I been asleep for?"

End Flashback

"We are gathered here today in memory of our beloved brother…"

Flashback

"Harry…Draco's dead."

End Flashback

"…He was an honored heir to the Malfoy family, a wonderful friend and a loved boyfriend…"

Luscious Malfoy gave a quick glare over in Harry's direction before turning back to his wife, Narcissa, who was sitting there looking almost as if dead, like all she had lost the will to live. Harry turned back to the vicar, who was now groaning on about Draco's life as if he really knew him, but Harry wasn't really listening. He was deep in thought.

/Draco had lots of enemies, but who would go far enough as killing him? Well probably most of them actually. But which one/

Of course the ministry was doing everything they could to find the killer but for Harry it wasn't enough. He had to find whoever it was and hurt them for the pain they caused Draco and for taking him away from Harry.

He could feel Narcissa's pain; he could understand how she was feeling. He felt like he was almost dead inside, like nothing in his life was worth living, now that Draco was gone. But he knew that Draco would not want this, he would not want Harry to feel like this, he would want him to carry on and save the wizarding population like he was destined to do. Knowing this just made him want to fight harder, for Draco, and he would find his killer.

After an hour of hymns and poems and different people, who didn't even know the real Draco, drowning on it had come to an end.

Everyone was mingling around chatting, drinking and eating when Luscious Malfoy loomed up to Harry.

"I know you had something to do with this Potter!" he spat his tongue laced with a loathing hate, while his mind was resentful with untrusting suspicion.

Harry took a moment as the words and thought struck him hard. Pushing the pain back into his mind he burst out with little attention of words and meaning he blubbered out a response, "Why would I kill Draco? I love him!"

Rage flared and Lusious's eyes lit with murderous intent. "Don't you dare say that in front of me!" He was seething in unnamed anger as he continued quickly, "Or anyone else at that matter, it's a disgrace!" Repulse flooded over his face. "I know you were the reason behind his death!"

They stood there staring at each other for a while until Dumbledore came up to them.

"Is there a problem here?" he asked innocently.

"No sir," spoke Harry through gritted teeth.

"Good, good. Well, Hogwarts students and teachers are due to leave any minute now so if you could get yourselves sorted. Luscious, I am very sorry for your loss, if there is anything I can do; anything at all…you know how to contact me." He paused and looked directly into his eyes and then smiled softly, "Thank you very much for your hospitality."

Luscious gave a curt nod and walked back over to Narcissa while Harry, Hermione, Ron and all the other Hogwarts students left to the fireplaces.

Everyone was back at Hogwarts and doing their own thing in their common rooms'. Harry was sitting in his favorite chair reading a book when Ron came up to him.

"Yo Harry, can I talk to you for a minuet? In the dorm?"

Harry nodded and set his book down on a near-by table, "Yeah sure. What's up?"

Once in the dormitory Ron sat Harry down and sat opposite him.

"Ron what's up?" There was an uncomfortable silence. "Well?" Harry was growing impatient from the lack of response, "Talk."

Ron looked around shiftily trying to put off the task of which he was about to do.

"Well, Harry. I've been meaning to talk to you for a while, but, err…the moment has been wrong."

"What is it Ron? What's happened?" Harry asked urgently.

"Nothing! Nothing has happened! Calm down!" Ron tried to usher Harry into a state of calm.

"God the way your acting you'd think someone's died." Harry spoke before thinking and only realized what he had said after he had said it. They fell in silence for a while until Ron finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"Harry, we've known each other for years, we've been friends with each other for years and I've been happy about that, but I'm not sure I am anymore."

"What are you trying to say Ron?" Harry asked rather paranoid.

"Well it's just…I loved Hermione and you loved Draco-"

Harry butted in, "I still do Love him! Not loved. And what do you mean 'loved Hermione' what's happened?"

Ron squirmed under the heaviness the questions were providing. "Well I kind of don't love her anymore."

"What?" Harry cried out in surprise. "But you were perfect together!"

"I know, but I've kinda found someone else, but there has always been someone in the way, but now…well…that persons not there anymore," explained Ron.

"Ron, what are you saying?" Harry asked slowly.

"What I'm trying to say Harry is that I'm in love with you. I have been for a while but Malfoy was always in the way and well…now he's gone and we can be together."

"WHAT?" screamed Harry in complete and utter shock.

"Ron you're my best friend! Your straight, you're going out with Hermione!" he roared.

"I'll dump her. We belong together Harry, don't fight it!"

"Ew! Just eew!" Harry squealed.

Then something hit him, as if a rock was thrown at his head.

"You hated him, you wanted him out of the way, you had a motif to kill him." He muttered quietly to himself. He then screamed at Ron, "You killed him didn't you! You wanted him dead so that you could have me for your sick fantasies; so you killed him, right there, right then! Didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?"

"I had to Harry. It was the only way I could have you! Can't you see that?"

"Well I'm sorry I must be going blind cause I don't!"

Just at that moment Neville came in and mumbled quietly, "Umm, are you guys alright?"

"Yes perfect. Why wouldn't I be?" Harry smiled broadly.

"Well it's just all the shouting is kinda disturbing everyone downstairs..." He trailed off afraid that Harry was going to turn on him and explode.

"Oh, well you tell them all I am very sorry to have interrupted their special conversations. Also tell them that they will have no more bother because I am now going. Goodbye Ron, it was a marvelous chat." He spoke in an all too false voice and wore a fake smile.

With that he walked past Ron and Neville. As he went through the common room he heard Hermione calling out to him but he did not stop. He just kept walking till he was out of the building and to his favorite spot. Draco's favorite spot. Hermione had obviously followed him up there as she was running up to him, wheezing from running.

"Harry, what happened?" she asked in between deep breaths.

"I don't want to talk about it," he grumbled back.

"Harry," urged Hermione's sympathetic voice.

"Your 'boyfriend' just hit on me." He spoke in a matter of fact tone.

"What!" Hermione gasped.

"I said you boyf…"

"I heard what you said," snapped Hermione in a sharp voice.

"Don't bother getting snappy with me. You wanted me to tell you so I did. Don't blame me-"

"But…why?" Hermione asked in an all too quiet voice.

Harry explained all of what had been said to a stunned Hermione.

"Ron KILLED Draco? But, no, he wouldn't…"

"He did."

Hermione sat there in silence mouth opening and closing like a fish, obviously trying to say something but not able.

"Hermione?" Harry asked gently, reaching out to her hand.

"My boyfriend is gay…and a murderer…I turned Ron gay! Oh My God! I must be such a crappy girlfriend!" she suddenly burst into tears.

"No, no, Hermione, you did not! Come on, it wasn't you, alright?" He wrapped his arms round Hermione as she cried into his shoulder.

"Shh, it's alright. You didn't turn him gay, you hear me?" Hermione nodded her head.

"Thanks Harry. This is all just too much. I'm sorry." She spluttered uncontrollably.

"Hey, you have nothing to be sorry about. Ron is the one that should be sorry. For hurting you and me both."

"Are you going to report him to the ministry?"

"I don't know." He whispered.

"It must be really hard for you."

"Hmm."

For now he didn't know what he was going to do. Should he report him and loose all friendship he had with him, and get him expelled from Hogwarts forever? Or should he stand by his friend, no matter what he did.

They sat there staring into the lake for a while. It was relaxing and seemed to send them a feeling of peace.

They saw the squid bobbing up and down in the motion of the waves. Oddly soothing.

Hermione rested her head on Harry's shoulder and decided to break the silence.

"What's going to happen Harry? We're going to be alright aren't we?"

"Yeah, yeah we will." He replied with a shadow of a smile

"Even Ron?" she asked looking up at his face.

"Well, we'll see."

"I guess we will."

A few hours had past, darkness had taken over, and Harry and Hermione were still sitting on the rock overlooking the lake. Hermione had fallen into a gentle sleep on Harry's shoulder while he sat there thinking. Hermione stirred and opened an eye.

"Harry?" Hermione mumbled looking around trying to find out where she was.

"Yeah?"

"Are we still outside?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, well we really should get moving."

"Yeah."

They started to wonder slowly back up to the school when Hermione stopped Harry.

"Are you sure you're all right?" she asked in concern.

"As good as I'll ever be," he stated.

"You sure? Because it has to be hard loosing your one true love and then finding out that it was your best friend that made you loose him."

"I haven't lost him."

Hermione looked up at him puzzled.

"Do you remember when we helped Serious in our third year?"

"Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?" Hermione questioned trying to put things together.

"Well I don't know if you heard but he told me that no one ever leaves when there is someone who loves them. They are always in your heart. Draco is in my heart forever and for always. He hasn't gone. He's still here with me."

"Oh Harry."

She reached out put her arm around him and with that they walked back to the castle.
