5. Saving Draco

The following drabble was written for the June challenge at The Hex Files; in honor of Draco Malfoy's birthday on June 5, in which the following three words were to be used per the birthday drabble custom in that group: selfless, extraordinary, devastating.

Saving Draco

Harry had never thought of himself as being particularly selfless. While he was perfectly willing to help out a friend, he went to no extraordinary lengths to seek out anyone in trouble and improve their lot. He had enough difficulties keeping himself out of trouble, thank you very much. But after the devastating results of the final elimination of Voldemort, when Hermione told him of the situation Draco Malfoy was in, he hesitated not one moment. Harry was the only person still alive who knew that without Draco's double-cross, it would be Harry who now lay cold in the ground.
