Chapter 2- Astronomy Tower
"So?" Bellatrix's eyes were hard. "Is it potter and his friends?" Her already cold voice took on a tone best described as frigid.
Potter lay on the floor his face swollen and flushed, but Draco would recognise that face anywhere.
"Is it?" Bellatrix screeched.
Draco flinched, he didn't trust his aunt to wait for The Dark Lord. Most likely she would be so determined to please him she would do something drastic, then Draco's last hope to get out of this mess would vanish. Draco rose from his crouching mentally cursing himself for his stupidity "I'm not sure".
"Are you sure?" Bellatrix asked, her voice thin and sharp as a razor, "If you're lying to me…" she trailed off.
Praying for time Draco turned to look back at Potter, his heart sank. Potters face that before would been indistinguishable to anyone who didn't spend every spare moment watching it, was growing less and less swollen by the minute.
Draco sat up gasping for air, laying back he sighed, he'd had that nightmare again. Groaning he got out of bed, at this rate rate he'd never get a good night's rest again. Dressing Draco organized his thoughts, he'd dreamt of that night again. He could still feel the panic from the dream, the fear that all hopes were lost, and victory over Potter was about to be awarded to the Dark Lord. shaking his head Draco crept through the dorm room.
Draco trudged up the stairs by the transfiguration classroom. Climbing from the dungeons all the way up to the top of the astronomy tower was starting to become a nightly routine, Draco always slept better after such an exhausting climb.
Reaching the top of the last flight of stairs, Draco pushed open the doors that opened to the outer part of the tower, taking a deep breath Draco breathed in the clear night air. At a first glance the balcony looked empty, but then he heard the sound of something hitting stone in the shadows. Whirling around the Slytherin identified a familiar figure in the shadows, "Potter?" It was only after the initial shock faded that Draco remembered the time, "You do realize it's half past one, which is way past curfew. As head boy I could deduct house points."
"I could ask you the same thing Malfoy." Potter hardly even moved his head to acknowledge Draco's threat let alone his sudden appearance. Shocked by Potters refusal to react Draco took a closer look at the Gryffindor leaning against the stone wall. It was then Draco noticed the amber bottle that if he was correct, and he knew he was having been educated in the art of proper pureblood beverages, contained the popular drink firewhiskey. Feeling more comfortable after realizing why he had not been blasted off the tower for startling the defeater of the Dark Lord, Draco sat beside the silent brunet. Looking at the bottle beside the other young man's leg, Draco voiced his confusion, "You drink? Isn't that like against Gryffindor morals?"
Potter finally turned to face Draco, "You of all people wouldn't understand morals Malfoy, plus it helps to forget."
Draco didn't need to ask what Harry Potter would want to forget, every one had scars after the war. "Well then. In that case, got any extra to share?"
Potter nodded, "Just don't talk."
They sat passing the bottle back and forth, and pretending they weren't questioning the other's presence till the sun began to rise.
A/N: Okay before anyone complains I KNOW IT'S SHORT AGAIN, but I promise there will be another chapter soon =). I will probably be posting shorter chapters more frequently, as that is easier for me, and better for the plot. I hope you enjoyed this, Like all writers I love feedback PLEASE REVIEW, It's not hard.
