Chaos Looms

The night was fast approaching and the students of Hogwarts were making their way to their common rooms it was a few hours before curfew. The buzz of the student body talking quietly was broken by a loud shout.

"Hermione!" Harry called after her sprinting down the emptying corridors to catch up to Hermione. Who was walking calmly down the corridor ignoring Harry's yells of protest as she did. Harry violently grabbed a hold of her wrist and dragged her in to an abandoned class room. "Ok spill now I know that something is going on." Harry hissed after slamming and locking the door. "I don't know what you are..."
"Come on Hermione you know that I am not that dumb. What is going on between you and Draco?" Harry screamed frustration radiating off his rigid from. Unmoved Hermione simply rolled her eyes and sighed "Harry I don't..."

"You both miss class at the same time mysteriously. Just after you have a go at me for being mean to Draco a boy who you should by all means hate. Then you turn up at the great hall at the same time and you have no real reason for missing class!" Harry screeched
"ok then Sherlock what conclusions have you meet then? ...oh come on Harry you must have some sought of theory? Hmh?" Hermione inquired raising an eyebrow.

"Well are you ... You ugh... Going out with him?"Harry stuttered
"yes. Yes. I am going out with Draco Malfoy Harry but Mr. Detective aren't we forgetting one so small but ever so curial little detail?" Hermione said sarcasm clinging bitterly to her voice. "What?" Harry said confusion capturing his features. To this Hermione merely raised one eyebrow and crossed her arms leaning on one foot. Harry new this look well and knew it meant "really you don't know. Use your head." Harry stood there for a while scanning his brain for the answer when it came to him "what you mean that because I heard Draco say my name when he was tossing off... Well then what is going on between you two then?"Harry question. Hermione remain silent. "Come on Hermione if you don't tell me I will assume that he has you under mind control and I will be forced to kick his butt" Harry joked trying to make Hermione laugh. Hermione just rolled her eyes and said "I don't think that funny Harry. Not that it's any of your business I guess you should know so it all started when..."Hermione went on to tell how she and Draco had become friends not mentioning that Draco liked Harry. But dropping in the fact that Draco said that Harry was a decent guy. "Harry he is the closest thing I have to a brother just like you." Hermione said tenderly.
"Hermione have you ever consider that he might be using you to spy on me." Harry said putting a hand on Hermione's shoulder shrugging it off Hermione said "yes well in the whole of the two years we have been friends he has never asked anything about your plans with Voldemort or what spells you can or can't do ." Hermione ranted.
"Yeah well there are other ways that he could..."
"Harry not everything is about you alright saviour and Gryffindor golden boy!" Hermione screamed.

"You know you sound just like him" Harry resorted
"yeah well maybe that's a good thing right now! Alohomora!" Hermione made to storm out before turning round and saying calmly "he is a good guy, has he done anything to you in the last two years that has hurt you so much? Just give him a chance and apologise for exposing him in front if the school. Oh yeah and you just called Draco Malfoy, Draco a lot just now." And with that she leafed the room leaving a bewildered Harry potter in her wake.

Come to think of it dr...Malfoy had not done anything to him in the last two years Harry had started all their fights and spats and Draco had just gone along with them. Maybe he should apologise to him.

"Draco are you alright Hun? You disappeared. I was worried. I'm glad I ground you in the room requirement. I did not know if you would come back." Theo said bringing Draco in to a tight embrace. "I can't believe he did this to you."
"I fine now" Draco sighed resting his head lightly on Theo's shoulder. "Do you want me to beat him up? ... Just a little" Theo asked
Draco laughed ending the embrace and said "thanks Theo you know I love you."

"Yeah but not as much as you love him." Theo whispered
"yes but that cannot be helped." Draco replied taking Theo's hand and shooting him an apologetic look. "Yeah I know" laughed it off. And they came out of the room of requirement and begun walking towards the dugongs when they were but a few feet away Theo stopped "so where are you going to sleep tonight?" Theo asked
"what do mean? In the dorm room of course." Draco replied confused "Draco they all know. Blaise has already appointed himself leader. And they all hate you. You going near any of them is crazy let alone into the lion's den well it more of a snake pit. And I don't think the two of us can take them..."

Draco said raising an eyebrow
" well yeah you don't think that I would abandon you just because the rest of Slytherin hatee you?"Theo said sending Draco a questioning look. "If it's really as bad as you say it is. What makes you think I am letting you get brought into this? I don't think we would be seen coming into the common room together you go first..."
What you can't still be thinking of going on there that crazy. I am not letting you." Theo said shaking his head violently "what's the alliterative Theo they will get me sooner or later I rather it be on my terms I may not be as crazy as my father but is am still a Malfoy. And I am not running or hiding that the same as admitting to do it. Come on Theo if I go in there the worst that will come of this just few bad words and possibly being beaten a bit but hey I can take it. But I am not letting you be dragged into this. I can't see you get hurt. "With that Theo captured Draco into a hug and reluctantly agreed. Moving away from Draco Theo asked "what should I tell pansy?"

"Pansy?" Draco asked
" yeah she is worried sick about you?" Theo informed Draco "wow I wasn't expecting that just tell her that I am ok and not to talk to me in front of other people. and make sure she does you know how stubborn she is." Draco replied "fine dray. Just look after yourself." and with that Theo brought Draco into a tender hug. Draco meted into the embrace of the slightly taller Slytherin. He needs this. He bright his arms up to wrap around Theo's waist. Whatever was coming next was not going to be pretty and there was no way Draco was bringing kind hearted Theo into it. His hugs always comforted him. Draco was so scared but in Theo's arms he felt so safe sometimes Draco wishes he could love Theo it would be so much easier. Theo was not made of muscles but he was by no means skinny and he has the comforting aroma of chocolate.
"I'll see you later dray though I will be acting like a jerk. I'll try andsee you before class tomorrow" and with that Theo planted a small kiss on Draco's check walked away. Draco watched Theo walk out of sight and slid down the wall he had been leaning against for once not caring that his robes were getting dirty.

"Bravo Draco that was a kind thing you did for Theo letting go back a pretend to hate your guts. So we wouldn't her like Nott. But don't worry Draco after this we are going to thank Theo for his loyalty to Slytherin oh and Pansy too. But crust we are going to have some fun with you. "

"I've been expecting you to turn up Zabini took you long enough to come out if the shadows" Draco bit out coldly he look calm but his mind was racing. His heart all but stopped when half of the syitherins walked out of an abandon class room. Blain stepped forward flanked by Crabbe and Goyle. But all Draco could think is that he had dropped Theo and Pansy into this mess too.

Blaise pointed his wand at Draco and a single word fell from his lips and chaos began.
