Chapter 10: The Letter
A/N: It's becoming seriously hard to come up with names for these chapters! And I am so sorry its been so long since the last update, life caught up with me, I have coursework due left right and centre, I'm in love with someone who can never love me back and to top it all of I could have need an operation! Anyway on with the show…
"I wonder how Rita found out?" a Hufflepuff whispered as she walked past Harry and Draco
"I don't know" replied her friend "but I don't think they know, they don't seem concerned at all"
Harry looked at Draco who looked back equally confused, Harry raised his eyebrow he was about to ask what they where talking about, when Ron and Blaise came barrelling around the corner.
"Harry Draco, have you seen the prophet?" shouted Ron
Before Harry or Draco could answer, Blaise shoved the fore mentioned prophet in the boy's faces. After reading the article harry looked at Draco,
"This is not good, I mean I don't care that everyone knows about us, I just care that Rita has broken Hermione's…Damn I'll kill her" harry shouted the last bit.
"Harry what's wrong?" asked Draco
Harry looked at Draco, "its Gryffindor business" he looked at Ron "come on we need to find her"
The Gryffindor part of the quartet ran of in to the distance, well it was actually to their common room but it was the distance to Draco and Blaise who just stood their looking confused. Harry and Draco ran into the common room and found little miss know it all sitting in her favourite chair reading the prophet. She looked up and smiled sickeningly at her two ex best friends,
"Oh hello Harry have you read the paper today?" se asked innocently
"yes I have Granger, now would you please tell me why it contains a story claiming that I am only saying I'm gay for publicity?" he asked
"easy, she can only right the truth Harry, and I believe this to be the truth so therefore I let her right it, after of course giving her the information" she smirked
It took all the strength harry had not to hit the muggle-born, he instead did what he did best, he shouted "DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DRACO IF HIS FATHER READS THIS? HE'LL KILL HIM GRANGER, HIS LIFE IS NOW EVEN MORE AT RISK BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU, YOU STUPID LITTLE MU…I HATE YOU!" harry screamed as he turned to walked out, tears streaming down his face. Two Slytherin's on the other side of the portrait hole met him,
"Did you hear everything I said?" Harry asked
Draco and Blaise only nodded
"Draco I'm so sorry I never should have put" Draco silenced him with his lips
"never, ever finish that sentence lion, we've been through this before, I wanted this remember. Well maybe not the article but I wanted you." Smiled Draco
"I know, but I can't keep," Draco kissed him again
"No, Don't blame yourself Harry. You keep saying you'll protect me no matter what and I know you will, but never blame yourself for me needing protection, that is my fault. I was the one who disobeyed me father, you dint make me do that Harry." Said a very emotional Draco
"I love you"
"I love you too" they embraced each other; each needed the comfort of his lover, but also needed to give comfort.
"bad time and all but Draco the erm letter" reminded Blaise interrupting the intimate moment
"you couldn't have waited a little longer?"
"Tonight Draco!"
"oh yeah right sorry" Draco pulled a letter out of his robes "it came just after you ran off" he told Harry
"What's it about?" asked Ron who came out with Harry, he was now holding Blaise hand.
"Read it allowed Re"
"Dearest Heir,
I am writing to ask you about the article Rita skeeter has written, I am sure you have seen it. I know that it cannot possibly be true but you understood I have to make sure, Are you in any sort of relationship with Potter? I must inform you of several other things in this letter, the first being that if you are in a relationship with him, you will be disinherited instantly, no money what so ever, your mother agrees. Secondly, the dark lord has seen this article and wishes for you to join his ranks if it is false we are coming to Hogwarts tonight, meet us at the gate, we have the rest worked out, you will be marked tonight. The dark lord wishes me to inform you that if you were in a relationship with his sworn enemy than he will kill you, after killing potter of course, you'd get to watch, so fortunate. Finally, do not show anyone this letter as our lord plans to kill potter tonight and he cannot do so if they are alerted of our coming. This war will end tonight, we will be victorious and the dark lord shall rule all!
Signed, Lucius Orion Malfoy, your predecessor." By the time Harry finished reading the letter he was shaking, he was going to have to kill Voldermort tonight, he had to keep Draco safe, he had to tell Dumbledore, he had to get the order together he had to "I have to die"
A/N: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I am so evil, btw you should know the horcruxes, yeah there in this story now, and they've all been found and destroyed, except for nagini and Harry, Harry knows he's one and intends to die, I don't know what I'm going to do though… btw how many of you object to M-preg because it might be included in the epilogue. Only two chapters left me thinks. I never thought I'd right something like this I'm so shocked anyway I'm off and btw Cyber Cookies for reviews! xx
