Cedric is there now, "Why Harry? Why couldn't you save me? Why did you kill me? You killed me, Harry. You killed me. Why? Why? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why did you kill me?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Stop.

Please.

PLEASE STOP!

"You should have known it was a trick, Harry," Sirius said, voice disappointed and empty, "You're so stupid. IT WAS A TRICK! You killed me. It's your fault. It's your fault that I'm dead. It's your fault. I'm dead because of you. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead."

Please...

"Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead .Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead."

PLEASE!

"Hullo Harry," says Fred, blood dripping down his head, his eyes glazed over and unseeing, "I see you're alive. And I'm not. I was fighting for you Harry, I was fighting because YOU told me to. I died because of you. My family lost me because of you. My mum. GEORGE!" He's shouting now. "YOU MADE ME LEAVE MY OTHER HALF. MY TWIN!" Tears run down both their faces, "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! "

Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault .Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault. Your fault.

Harry hears faint laughing.

"HARRY!"

Remus is there, "First you kill Sirius," He droops, "And then you kill Tonks. And me of course. DO YOU HAVE TO KILL EVERYONE I LOVE!? I was your friend. AND YOU BETRAYED ME! My son is an orphan because of you. I have no idea why we made you the godfather because you are WORTHLESS" His face is stained and red, as Tonks appears behind him. She changes into him.

"Hiya Harry! Guess what I am? You're worst fear! It's you!" She mocks, "You're so pathetic that you're scared of yourself. You. Are. Pathetic. You can't even die properly!" She changes back to her regular pink haired self, "But yet you can kill so many people."

PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC-

NO!

Please... Stop...

Laughing. Laughing.

GET IN THE CUPBOARD! FREAK! WORTHLESS FREAK!

So hungry. Can I have some food please Uncle Vernon?

NO!

PLEASE STOP!

FREAK!

So hungry hungry.

They all surround him, all of the dead. "Why? Freak! Your fault! Why? Why? WHY?! (You're fault) FREAK! FREAK! FREAK!"

Please!

Black.

Hermione and Ron stand there. "We were never really your friends, Dumbledore paid us. And when you weren't there we would laugh. We would laugh at you Potter. Poor Potter with all those problems." They say, laughing, "We never cared about you. You're alone. Alone. YOU'RE ALONE! Freak. You're alone because your a freak."

"No one loves you Harry," They whisper.

So alone.

"Potter," drawls Malfoy, "Did you honestly think I could ever like you? Let alone love you?" He crosses his arms, the dark mark empty of flowers. "News Flash Potter, I couldn't care less about you. I don't even hate you! I just. Don't. Care.

You should honestly go die! You have no one. And you certainly don't have me. You're just a depressed freak. A freak who cuts themselves because 'it makes it better'. Honestly who the fuck does that? A freak, that's who!"

No.

"No? Whatever, I don't care. Freak!"

NO!

"HARRY!"

Forest, dark forest. And a grinning face. She looks insane. Her face is covered with blurry scars. Hearts?

"HARRY! NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"Dra...co..."

"HARRY?!"

"Not today Mr. Potter!" High pitched voice.

"No... please... not again..."

"Oh, yes again! You have such a fun mind. Never have I seen someone so messed up."

"Please!"

"HARRY!"

Green forest. Dark. Mysterious.

"Legilimens!"

NO!

[Show me the stone! Potter!]

The stone?

Oh.

The stone.

Walking through the woods towards his doom. "Until the very end," Says his dad. Harry smiles, holding the small stone in his hand. It's black and small.

[Good...]

"AVADAKEDAVRA!"

Out of his hand. It fell out of his hand. Into a bush? Buried in the dirt? Who knows.

"Is my son? Draco? Is he okay?"

"Yes.."

"DEAD!"

Cheering.

"HARRY! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

"Draco?" Harry croaks.

"SHUT UP!" Their kidnapper screamed, theres a flash and then Draco screamed.

"DRACO!" Harry shouted as loudly as he can.

"Be quiet Potter, I won't kill him or you if you corporate with me." Her hair is smooth and black and her face... her face is covered in heart shaped scars. She looked completely insane.

"You want the stone?" Harry growled.

"I can bring him back!"

"I don't know where it is!"

Harry can see properly now. They're in a forest, pine trees surround them. Harry glances around and sees Malfoy tied to a tree, slumped. Harry is also tied to a tree, but could almost reach his wand.

"I'LL KILL YOU! TELL ME NOW!"

'I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS!"

"CRUCIO!"

Harry's body jerked, and he screamed as thousand of needles and knives stabbed his body.

"Harry..." croaked the blond.

"NO! I DON'T KNOW! I'M TELLING YOU I DON'T KNOW!" He roared as pain erupted through his body over and over again.

"Maybe," Pondered the lady, "If I torture him-"

"No!"

"Take that as a yes then! CRUCIO!" She screamed, head thrown back as she laughed.

Malfoy's body jerked and he screamed. Harry would gladly be tortured for a hundred years then to see Malfoy being tortured for one more second. Malfoy's usually beautiful face was ugly and bloody, twisted up in agony.

"NO! FINE! PLEASE JUST STOP!"

Malfoy's face relaxed as the curse lifted. The insane woman turned back to him, "Do go on, dear!"

"I threw it into the lake! The lake at Hogwarts!" Harry screamed, lying through his teeth, "Please just don't hurt him!"

The lady laughed! And squealed in delight. While she was distracted, Harry strained to reach his wand. Gripping the handle, he quietly broke the ropes tying him up.

The lady turned to him in surprise. "You-"

"CRUCIO!" He screamed, thriving on the pain she was feeling, she deserved it.

"Harry!" He heard from behind him, "Harry! Stop! I'm the evil one not you!"

"Draco?" asked Harry, feeling the wildness in his eyes go down.

"Just free me! And let's go back!"

Harry turned around, and muttered a quick spell to undo Draco's ropes.

"Shouldn't of turned your back on me!" A high pitched voice squealed.

"AVADA-"

Harry jumped towards the Slytherin, gripped his shirt and willed himself to Hogwarts.

Once again everything went white.

/*/*/*/*/*/*

Hermione was nervous. Harry had been gone for hours, it was nearly sundown, as Luna's paintings suggested. She and Ron were waiting in the common room for him, but he was still nowhere to be found.

"Should we go tell the Headmistress?" She asked.

"If he doesn't show up tomorrow for classes, then we go tell," replied Ron, "For all we know, he could be shagging some girl."

"Right..." said Hermione, thinking of how often Harry looked at girls, compared to how often he looked at Malfoy. "Have we seen Malfoy?"

"Um.. No? Why?"

"No reason, just wondering." Hermione tucked her hands into her sleeves. She had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

/*/*/*/*/*/*

Unfortunately, they didn't end up at Hogwarts, but instead ended up in a different part of the forest. Hopefully. Everything was just green pine trees so they couldn't really tell.

He turned to Draco (could he call him Draco now?), "What happened?"

Draco looked up at him from where he was sitting on the ground panting, "The card, it was a portkey (kill the spare) to some forest. And then that woman, Hearts, was there and she knocked us out and tied us to the trees. When I woke up she was in your mind." Draco gripped Harry's pant leg, "She kept laughing, and saying things like, 'My my, how messed up this boy is, or Freak. And I kept screaming to try to get you to wake up, and then she'd crucio me."

Harry could do nothing but gape, trying not to remember what he saw while she was in his mind.

"Why'd I have to be friends with you Potter! You just screw everything up!"

Harry put his head between his knees, "I'm sorry," He stuttered.

Draco (MALFOY!) shook his head, "It's not your fault, I was being sarcastic. Still friends, don't worry your pretty head about it. You can still bask in my presence!"

Laughing darkly, Harry spotted his wand. "Shit!"

"What?"

"My wand's broken!"

Draco groaned, "I don't have my wand! We're screwed!"

"We have to get back with out magic then," decided Harry.

"How?"

Harry looked over at the blond, "Unlike you, I've gone with out magic before, eleven years and every summer after in fact."

"Merlin bless our Hero then," Grumbled Malfoy.

Harry smirked, "You know it."

/*/*/*/*/*/*

Unfortunately, no matter how much the brave Gryffindor tried, it was seemingly impossible to make the situation positive. They were in the middle of the woods who knows where, with no magic, and no supplies. And it was beginning to get dark. And cold.

"Malfoy," Harry said, "We need to make shelter for tonight." Harry started to collect large sticks as Malfoy groaned and moped dramatically. "Come on! I need help."

Surprisingly, Draco (MALFOY, HARRY) was actually really good a making shelters. (It's common sense Potter, you just don't have any.) Unfortunately they're shelter was between to trees, and their only cover was the leaves stacked on top of the branches above them. However, it was pretty good for considering what they had.

The two boys tried to fall asleep, breathing in the scents of the forest. The musky pine smell and the sound of a nearby creak were so peaceful, they were nearly enough to make Harry fall asleep. But Harry couldn't help but stare up at the roof, and the stars he could see through the small cracks, while he shivered.

And shivered.

Suddenly there was an arm around him, pulling him close to the warm body of Draco Malfoy.

"What?" He asked stupidly.

"You're shivering like a fucking mad man," scolded Malfoy, "And I'm trying to fall asleep. But alas, I'm also super fucking cold! And then I thought of a brilliant yet shitty idea: Body Heat." (Note to self: Draco swore when he was tired)

Malfoy tightened the arm that was looped around Harry's neck and Harry threw an arm around Draco's waist. He breathed in Draco's breath as the blond slowly breathed in and out in sleep.
Harry shouldn't have been so warm as he was.
And it wasn't because of body heat.

Had you told him a day ago that'd he'd be cuddling with Draco Malfoy in the middle of the woods, he wouldn't have believed you. Had you told him a year ago, he would've punched you. How times change.

Slowly Harry succumbed to sleep, in the middle of the woods who knows where, in a make do fort with leaves for a roof, the Slytherin's arm still wrapped around him and their ankles intertwined. Draco breathed annoyingly into Harry's neck. Harry was the most comfortable he had ever been in his life.

Freak

Hermione couldn't fall asleep. Something was wrong. Deadly wrong. She just needed to find out what.
