Disclaimer: Don't own them… JK does… I want book 7!

Author's Note: Wow. Thanks everybody for the support! To my dear S.c.ou.s.er.4.li.f.e I say: You are very kind and patient and all that! Luv ya! The Dragonclaw Mistress I thank you very much for your attention! It's very nice getting feedback. I always try to keep then in character because I love their personalities just the way they are. I have enjoyed writing Draco specially. He became such psycho in this story.

DRACO

When Snape came back alone, empty handed and barely breathing, Voldemort was PISSED OFF. Draco had witnessed many of the Dark Lord's outbursts since he joined the Death Eaters and so had his father before him. Even so, both of them had never seen Him-who-must-not-be-named so angry as he was at the sight of Snape. And that was why Draco liked to say that he was PISSED OFF. There was no better term for it. His eyes glowed red as if they were to burn up his contorted face, he bared his ugly snake-like fangs and his skeleton-thin fingers grabbed his wand and cruciated the nearest poor soul which happened to be Lucius. Not so poor then thought Draco to himself as he fought the snickering that threatened to escape his lips.

Draco knew he could not be normal. He enjoyed hurting people who enraged him and watching them hurt and for him that was normal. He took violence as common-place to solve problems and for him… The fit would live, the weak would die, sooner or later. It was a very "death eater" philosophy, he knew, and looking at his family history it came as no surprise either. But then… There was Harry. Then there was this polite, humble, modest boy who would blush at the slight mention of sex. The same boy who would ravish Draco in the confines of their room. And this boy stood for all that was good. Draco understood that. And loved his Harry even more because of that. And even if he found all that speech of goodness and fairness to be bullshit, he made his choice for the side of the Light and would be loyal to it as he was loyal to his Harry. Of course, that choice had its good points and its bad points. God Points: 1) Harry with him. 2) Protecting Harry. 3) Helping Harry and etc Harry related… Bad Points: 1) Nobody trusted him. 2) Nobody understood his way of doing things. 3) Nobody understood what he felt for Harry and some people thought he could be dangerous to the other boy. 4) Nobody understood why Harry loved him back.

Nobody but Snape. Snape understood him. Snape trusted him. Snape was the closest thing he had for a friend.

Snape was unconscious in a bed to keep his cover.

And he, Draco, couldn't go there and worry about his "friend", also to keep his cover.

War Sucks. Thought Draco as the Dark Lord gathered his Death Eater for instructions.

"Say, companions, supporters of my cause. Did you see Severus Snape enter this room?"

"Aye" said the adjourned Death Eaters.

"Did you see what the Potter boy did to him?" Draco almost scoffed Harry would never get to that level of violence. He knew. All the others didn't nor cared.

"Aye" they said once more.

"I want you all to hunt down the boy and every member of the so called Order of Phoenix. Put our spies to work! Gather all the forces we have! We'll go Witch Hunting! "

The Death Eaters cheered. Draco cheered along.

This war would end sooner than he had expected.
