Harry watched as everyone slowly filed out. Fred and George headed to their room and Snape began talking to Lupin about the potion books Harry had found in the Chamber. Harry rolled his eyes. He wanted nothing to do with that conversation. He walked upstairs and joined Draco.

Draco was huddled over Sirius desk writing. He turned nodding to Harry then went back to the parchment. Harry moved sitting down in front of his school trunk.

"Harry?"

Harry looked up. He wondered how long he had sat phased out just staring at the trunk wishing for the past.

"Finished with your letter?"

"I told her about the horcrux and we needed to find it. We know one is in the castle but the cup is the one we have no clue about. If she could help us with that, we will be one step closer."

Harry nodded and went to open the trunk. Draco moved and placed his hand over Harry's. "Harry, you need to stop torturing yourself."

Harry turned to him. "What would you do?"

Draco looked at him. "I don't think I would have had the strength to leave them."

Harry turned around and leaned against the trunk. "Draco, I could have stopped him."

Draco frowned and sat next to him on the floor. "What are you talking about?"

"When I used the portkey to come back to Hogwarts, I walked straight into Riddle. I literally walked into him. He was still a school boy. I could have killed him right there and that would have been it. No war, no deaths."

Draco's mouth fell open. "Why didn't you?"

"It would have changed everything."

Draco looked at him shocked.

"What does that make me?"

Draco leaned back against the trunk his side touching Harry's. "Human. It makes you human. You did it because you would have never met them, didn't you?"

Harry didn't answer. They both knew the truth.

"Wow, I guess you are a little selfish." Harry groaned. "Saint Potter."

Harry slapped his leg. "This, all of this, is on me now."

Draco shook his head. "No, Voldemort started this. It's on him."

"And Dumbledore."

They both sat looking at the other side of the room lost in their thoughts. "We need to get into Hogwarts and find what he left. Do have any idea where he would have left a horcrux where it would never be found?"

Draco sat quietly then jerked. "Oh Merlin, I'm so stupid. I know where it is. It's in the same place where I was trying to get the cabinet to work."

"What?"

"The plan I had. There are two cabinets. One is in the room of requirement and the other one is in Knockturn Alley. I planned to fix the one in Hogwarts so we could sneak into the school and bypass the wards. The entire room is filled with junk and things lost inside Hogwarts. It's the same room we stored that horrible painting in."

Harry looked at him shocked then stood. "Dobby!"

Dobby popped into the room. Harry was running around looking for the map. Draco understood what he was doing and found it buried on their desk.

"Here."

The opened it and found no one in the hallway. "Dobby, can you apparate us to Hogwarts?"

Dobby nodded and they left. The made it through the halls quietly to the seventh floor. It was past curfew so they didn't see anyone in the halls. Harry waited as Draco walked past the wall three times and the door appeared. They quietly slid into the room and Harry froze. It seemed like the room was the size of Hogwarts itself. It seemed to go on forever. There were piles of stuff everywhere.

Harry looked around frozen. "What the hell? It could take us years."

Draco groaned. "Tell me about it. I have been in here so many times and honestly, I have never found the back wall."

Harry groaned. "Where is the cabinet?"

Draco pointed to the right of them and Harry followed him as he began walking through the aisles. It was massive. The more he looked the more he was intrigued. There were books, furniture, pixies, dead animals, and so much more strung through the debris.

"This is kind of cool."

Draco snorted. "Only you would find junk interesting."

"Seriously, do you know how much stuff is hidden here from past students? It's like an ever growing treasure. There is probably stuff hidden here that…"

Harry stopped talking when Draco stopped at the cabinet and pulled away the tarp hanging over it. "You were going to fix this."

"My mission from the Dark Lord, I hate who I was becoming. Harry, I could barely breathe. My father and his insanity, the threats to my mother, all I could think about was trying to survive."

Harry scoffed. "That I understand. I lived like that my entire childhood. I lived in a cupboard until I got my Hogwarts letter. My family treated me like a slave and barely fed me. There were months I forgot what it felt like to have a full stomach. I lived with being hungry so long I didn't know what it felt like to not be hungry. When I first came to Hogwarts, I puked the first few months because my body didn't know how to react to constantly being fed."

Draco stared at him. "Everyone assumed you were raised like a little prince."

Harry laughed without mirth. "They assumed wrong."

Draco was still glaring at him when Harry took a step to the cabinet. He stopped when he felt it. It was the same feeling he got from the locket. His scar drummed against his head.

"Draco, it's here."

Draco turned looking around the room ignoring his rage from Harry's words. His entire outlook on everything had changed this year. If someone would have told him a year ago that he would end up thinking of Potter as he did now, he would have hexed them and laughed in their face. He wouldn't change any of it.

Harry walked past the cabinet and looked at the desk beside it. There was a head with a wig sitting on top of it. Harry knocked the wig off and they both looked at the tiara.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"It's Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem."

Harry turned picking up a Hufflepuff scarf that was lying on the floor and wrapped it around the diadem. He turned back to Draco and smiled.

"Only one left."

A red light flashed between them. They both froze and looked back towards the door. Ron and Hermione were running to them their wands aimed at Draco. Harry moved putting his body in front of Draco.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed.

"Get away from the ferret!" Ron followed.

Harry stood his ground. Draco was shaking behind him furious. He was trying to pull Harry behind him but he couldn't get him to budge.

"If they curse you, you could loose them." He snarled quietly.

"Harry! Get away from him and let's go to Dumbledore's office. The Order has been looking everywhere for you."

Harry snarled. "Put your wands down!"

They both froze at the venom in Harry's voice.

"Harry?" Ron spoke getting angry. They watched as the red filled his cheeks going down his neck. "Malfoy has you under something. You need to go to the headmaster."

"No." Harry moved locking his arm with Draco's. "I'm not going anywhere near Dumbledore. I'm not with the Order anymore and I'm not going to blindly follow anyone anymore."

Hermione looked at him like she was trying to placate a small child. "Harry, Dumbledore told us that Malfoy talked you into siding with Voldemort and put you under the Imperius."

Harry barked out a laugh. "You believe everything that comes out of his mouth, don't you? That is why I will not fight beside you. I knew after Sirius died that Dumbledore was not going to ever do anything to help me. He knew the prophecy since it was spoken. It was given to him. He never told me. He never planned on telling me. He only told me because I heard most of it when it was smashed."

"That's not true." Ron snarled.

Harry turned to him. "Neither one of you wrote me all summer, why?"

"Because Dumble…"

Harry smirked. "Dumbledore told you not to."

Hermione glared. "He is our headmaster he has done nothing but protect you."

"Has he? Then why have I been with my aunt that has done nothing but let my cousin and uncle abuse me and starve me? Why didn't he tell me what I was? Dumbledore has lied to all of us."

"Harry, it's the Imperius. You aren't thinking straight."

Draco snorted behind them. "This is ridicules. They are never going to listen to you."

Ron snarled. "Get away from him. He's our friend, not yours."

Harry snarled back at him. "You're wrong. I didn't understand a lot of things until recently and I finally understand what family means, what love is and what it feels like to feel safe. I know what it's like to have a friend who doesn't judge me and knows when something is wrong with me and cares enough to keep me safe."

"Harry, we do love you and want you safe so come with us."

Harry laughed. "I wasn't talking about you. I've never felt safe here or at the Dursley's. You all knew I was being abused and no one helped me. You turned on me in fourth year. You didn't even make sure I was okay when Sirius died because your headmaster told you not to write me. You believe Dumbledore and refuse to look at anything but what he tells you too. Dumbledore is as much a monster as Voldemort. He's caused just as much harm."

Hermione fired another spell at him. Draco jerked him out of the way and snarled at her.

"Mudblood, I will kill you if you hurt him."

Ron roared. "Don't talk to her like that!"

"Harry, everything's true you've turned dark."

"Hermione, you are narrow minded. Dumbledore is manipulating you and you're too stupid to see it. Let me give you a few secrets. Grindelwald was his lover, they fought and he killed his sister. He became famous for stopping his lover. Don't believe me ask his brother, he owns Hogs Head in Hogsmeade."

"You're lying."

Harry snorted. "I'm done. As far as I'm concerned, we are finished. You both can go tattle to Dumbledore about whatever you want. I'm going after Voldemort. I will do what I have to do but as far as Dumbledore's concerned, he can stuff it. I'm not his little pawn anymore."

"Harry, stop. We can fix you." Ron pleaded.

"Fix me? Fuck you! I don't need your help or Dumbledore's. I'm of age. I made sure of that I am no longer under his control and I don't need anyone to FIX ME!"

Draco moved his hand sliding around Harry's stomach. Ron looked at them and all the color went out of his face.

"Are you together? Are you a pouf?"

Draco snarled.

"DOBBY!"

Dobby popped into the room took one look around and apparated them away. They landed in the living room with a pop. Harry screamed and picked up the closest thing and threw it. Glass shattered against the wall and Dobby cowered.

"Harry, you have to calm down."

Harry turned looking at him, his eyes slit. "So help me Merlin, if you say anything about my blood pressure, I will cut you."

Draco nodded and sat down and conjured him an entire row of glass cups. Harry moved picking up one after another and began throwing them. The sound of shattered glass was slowly calming him down.

"What the hell is going on here?" Snape roared as Harry sent another glass flying.

Draco sat quietly and kept making more glass sculptures. He must have been getting board because they were getting more intricate and bigger. The last thing he threw was a beautiful glass swan.

Harry threw a glass puppy.

"Good news or bad news."

Snape ran a hand over his face as a glass kitten flew through the air and smashed. Fred and George had walked into the room and were making more glass items with Draco amused at Harry's temper.

"Bad."

Draco explained their meeting with Ron and Hermione and what Dumbledore and told them. Three kittens, a hippogriff and several ducks had died during the explanation.

"He told them Harry went to the dark lord?"

Draco nodded as Harry looked over the growing pile of glass and picked up a small wolf cub and chucked it.

Snape growled. "What is the good news?'

Harry pulled the horcrux out of his pocket and sat it on the couch then picked up two kittens and sent them flying.

"We found Ravenclaw's diadem."

Snape moved looking at it and felt the same power coming from it that had come from the locket. He stopped and looked back at Harry.

"Are you done?"

Harry snarled at him and picked up a unicorn and smashed it in his hands. Snape rolled his eyes as Harry dropped the shards and went to grab something else.

"I think Ron broke him." George said handing Harry a puppy.

Draco and Snape just frowned.

Harry snarled.
