AN: Doing this update to let you guys know the reason the updates will take awhile. I am putting everything on hiatus to focus on writing books to sell, my books aren't going to be like my free stuff, and take me a lot longer to write a 8k+ word chapter.
(Cut, for adult stuff go to my A03 account Fearmyboxers)
Neville laid down beside Draco, cleaning them up with a spell, and pulling the sheets up. "How is your leg?" He asked.
Draco reached down under the covers to rub his cramped leg. "Starting to feel better. I'll send the Owl to my father, however, you better be sure that Lovegood won't mess anything up. I have to wait for his reply, you really should have a talk with Lovegood, if she shows any sign that she is going to reveal anything..."
"I will Obliviate her...all memory of the conversation or my relationship with you." Neville said, looking upward. "If it comes to that, I don't think she will ever want to be my friend again..." He said sadly.
"Well, I hope that she will make a decision that won't cause you to do that..." Draco kissed Neville and slid out of the bed to get dressed. "You should get dressed, don't want anyone wondering where you are."
Neville groaned. "Is it bad I wish I was in Slytherin just so I could stay in your bed like this?"
Draco looked at him and laughed. "No, I wish you were able to stay longer too. But with Potter and Snape going awol, they really won't like someone going missing, even for a night."
With a sigh, Neville got up from the bed and dressed himself. "I suppose it is just another good reason for us to leave together." Neville said, fixing his pants. "You know I'm going to want to stay in your room."
"Mmn, I'd like that." Draco smirked. "But it won't just be me and you leaving the school, other Death Eater children are coming also. It would probably be a good idea to conceal your identity at first."
Neville nodded and walked around to grab Draco's hand. "Only you and Luna are the only ones I care about. I just hope that I won't have to torture anyone...well.." Neville paused for a moment. "Maybe your aunt..."
Draco kissed Neville. "You may be able to get some revenge for your parents that way."
"She is the only person I believe I could do something horrible to..." Neville sighed. "Even if I become a Death Eater, I don't think I could be of much use."
"There you go again, acting like you are useless..." Draco grabbed his shoulders. "You are a good guy and it isn't useless to not want to hurt people..." Draco looked away. "I don't want to kill or torture anyone either...but I will if I have to, for my family."
Both boys left the Prefect bedroom, looking around to make sure no one saw Neville leaving; mostly to avoid Umbridge seeing it. Neville went back to the Gryffindor common room and Draco headed to the Owlery. Draco quickly wrote his letter to his father, using a spell to conceal the original message, and tied it to his owl's leg; releasing it. The Slytherin watched his owl fly into the sky and out of sight, before he went on patrol as a Prefect.
In the morning, Neville woke up to listening to Dean talking to Seamus. "I don't think Harry is dead, he is going to be rescued and Snape will be sent to Azkaban for kidnapping him." Dean said.
With Harry being gone and Ron being a Prefect, it was just the three of them in the room. "There is rumor that Harry actually went with Snape on his own though, because he was lying about He Who Must Not Be Named, being back. It is because of Harry that I almost wasn't able to come back to school." Seamus said.
"Don't blame Harry for that!" Neville found himself yelling.
"Ah, Neville..." Seamus said, like he'd forgotten it wasn't just him and Dean in the room.
Neville opened the curtain to his bed, looking at the two best friends. "Why don't you guys believe Harry? Has he ever done anything to make you doubt his word? He said You Know Who was back, that he killed Diggory, but everyone is so scared that it could be true, that you are all turning against Harry and brought that horrible toad woman into our school!"
"What concerns me is Dumbledore leaving around the same time...even with Harry missing, he hasn't come out of hiding." Dean said, trying to hide that he was shocked by Neville raising his voice.
Neville couldn't say much more, he couldn't tell them anything Draco had revealed to him. "You guys are supposed to be Harry's friends..." Neville said low, frowning, before changing his clothes. Seamus and Dean watching him leave the room, not sure what had come over the usually quiet boy.
Draco stood near the forbidden forest, beside a waist high stump, waiting for his owl to return, he hoped it would come before he needed to head to the Great Hall. He'd trained his owl to deliver black enveloped letters to the stump, for him to pick up at a later time if he wasn't there to receive the letters himself. Just as he was about to turn and head back to the castle, the cold getting to him, and snow covering his shoes; he heard a screech of an owl.
The owl landed on the stump, a scroll of parchment tied to his leg. "Thank you." Draco said, untying the letter, and tossing a dead mouse to his owl. Lucius wrote that he wasn't sure about Lovegood and Longbottom, but if Draco really trusted them, he'd try his best to bring the issue up with the other Death Eaters if they came with him, and for Draco to be ready to leave at any time. Draco burned the letter and watched his owl fly away, before heading back to the school.
Neville walked over to Luna when she came into the Great Hall. "After breakfast, I really need to speak with you." He said.
Luna tilted her head to the side. "Alright, is something the matter?" The blond girl asked.
Draco walked into the Great Hall, passing the two with a small nod, and Neville let out a sigh. "Something has come up that I must discuss with you. Meet me by the Astronomy Tower after you finish eating." He said, walking to the Gryffindor table.
