Harry was awoken by the Potions Master vigorously shaking him. "Come now. Up! It is almost time for breakfast." Snape sounded rather like he was high on helium… Harry was still dead tired and he couldn't put up with the sound of his voice.

"No. I don't wanna'." He complained.

Snape retaliated by whipping the blanket off him. "You have to face them sometime. Today is as good as any other day. Now go!"

Harry grumbled at him for a bit but he got up and cast a cleaning spell on himself and dug out a new set of robes. "Fine…And Professor, thank you." Harry shook his head as he left the dungeons grumbling. 'The world truly is going to end! I said thank you to Professor Snape.'

Harry truly dreaded the thought of going to the Great Hall again and dragged his feet all the way there. He managed to rearrange his facial muscles into his 'I don't really care' mask before entering. He was in luck- not a lot of Gryffindors were at breakfast. He counted ten of them.

"Guess I am early." He said to himself. He sat quietly at the bare end of Gryffindor table and ate a fruit salad while waiting to see if Hedwig would bring him any post. Harry kept his head down after noticing that Dumbledore was still attempting to get his attention.

The owls came bustling in around the same time that the rest of the students appeared. Harry avoided a nice disaster as he stood up to let his owl land on his shoulder.

Seamus bumped into him and nearly knocked Hedwig off his shoulder but she caught herself by sinking her talons into Harry's robes. Harry's angry glare at Seamus became a full blown glare of hate when Hedwig made an anguished screech of pain when one of her feathers was forcefully pulled out. Seamus stumbled back and dropped the feather when he noticed Harry's eyes lit with fire.

"Hey, Potter." Harry was snapped out of his plotting revenge by someone calling his name. "Come over here and sit with us." Blaise waved then sat down.

Harry shook his head no. "Maybe another time." Harry said to him. He really wanted to read his letter.

Most of the students gasped hearing someone invite him to a table-the Slytherin table to be precise. There was a bunch of "See! I told you. He really is evil." Floated around the room.

Harry ignored the lot of them as he made his way out of the hall to sit outside. It was a Sunday so the only classes that were given were Quidditch and dueling classes. Harry never attended either. He looked at the mark that sealed the envelope then ran his finger over the embossed mark before deciding to open it.

Dear Mr. Potter,

You are cordially invited to tea at my home this evening 6:00 sharp. Enclosed in the letter are instructions on where to meet your escorts for the evening.

Tom Riddle

Harry gaped at the note. 'He wasn't kidding when he invited me to tea!' He was so shocked that his dream was real that he didn't notice that his feet automatically brought him to the lake. He decided to check the location of the where he was supposed to be picked up. Funnily enough, it was his spot that was marked in on the map.

He walked over and sat on the rock where he had experienced his visions of life. The heart wrenching decisions he had to make because of them. The visions did not really help him except for the one where he knew he could not stay at Hogwarts.

"Damn Dumbledore!" Harry hissed as he sat down on his rock. "What to do? What to do?" Harry said as he tapped his chin. Hedwig just looked at him

"I wish I could figure out what is going through his head. I could be walking right into his lair of evil, aka as one big trap! If I leave behind my identity like I promised myself. But, then again, I leave everything that I once believed in. My memories- right? But is this what I wanted to do? Maybe I should consider listing and then leave afterwards. Right, Hedwig? What do you think…hummm?"

Hedwig did not say anything. Not a hoot or any other action that could help. But she did hop to him when she noticed his distress.

"You're leaving me again, aren't you, girl?" The owl just nudged her head at him affectionately.

"All right, girl. Good bye for now." He patted her head. He decided to stay there by the lake and indulge himself with a book until the fateful time. He decided to make his decision at the last minute. He would not think about anything else and let his instincts take over since it had always helped before.

He was so engrossed in his reading that he was finally done by 5:15. He had spent the whole day sitting on his favorite rock, wrapped up in his warm cloak, and reading- time had flown and he had not noticed.

"Aahh. Time flies by when you try and read about Dorpaglanders." He smiled as he stood and stretched then sat back down on the rock. His smile was quickly gone as his inner conflict once more surfaced. "I know I am going into a trap. I just know it." He said aloud.

"Then why are you sitting there with your stuff, may I ask?" Sirius' voice rang in his head.

"I don't know. I just don't know." He was surprised when he heard a snort.

"You don't know what, Potter?"

Harry flinched at the voice. "Hey, Malfoy."

Draco stood in front of him, hands of hips, and looking down his nose at him. "What? Is that all you are going to say?"

Harry chuckled. His eyes widened when he felt the happiness that flared from Draco when he laughed.

"What's so funny?" Draco asked snidely.

"Nothing. I am just surprised that you asked, that was all." Harry said as he played with the fringe of his robe. He watched the other boy for a few seconds then ducked his head a bit before adding,

"Oh yeah. There is something I wanted to say. Thank you for what you did even if you probably aren't sure of what I am going on about." Harry said as he gave Draco a nervous smile.

"No problem! Couldn't let Finnegan go and do something like that now could I?"

Harry just stared. 'So he does understand what happened.' He thought wildly. He did not know why but the thought that Draco had helped him on purpose made him smile even more than he already was. It was his first smile in ages: hell, it was his first real smile since Sirius died.

He could practically hear Sirius right now. "About time, twerp!" His godfather's happy voice echoed in his head. It made Harry want to hug Draco but he thought better of it since he did not want Draco to pull away.

"Yeah, thanks." Harry said again and then extended his hand. "Truce?"

Draco nodded his head negatively. "Friends?" He said instead.

"OK." Harry agreed. He liked the idea of Draco and he being friends.

"Actually, I want something more than friendship…" Draco paused, not sure how to go about broaching the subject on his mind.

Harry looked at him wide-eyed and heart pounding. He thought he knew where this was going and he wanted so badly to hear what Draco had to say.

"I was wondering…no! Wait! I'm trying to say is…" (Pop) (Pop) (Pop) (Pop)…four Death Eaters had just apparated in and surrounded Harry. Draco was in a bit of a panic when he saw them grab Harry around the waist.

Harry was just as desperate to hear what Draco wanted to say. "Wait! He has something to tell me." Harry was pleading with them while staring into Draco's eyes. Harry had a feeling that whatever it was Draco wanted to say was very important…life changing even. They did not listen and he disappeared from sight before Draco could finish his confession.

Draco felt his heart stop. He heard the pops from the group echoing in his ears. He cringed and ran for it. He had to contact his father now. "If they hurt him I swear I will kill them all…by myself." Lucius would make sure that no one hurt Harry- if he could get to his father before tempers flared…
