Touch Starved

This meant war

You and Draco were silent as you sat in the kitchen, your friends and the rest of the Auror were kind enough to not bring up the mess they had witnessed. Even the Auror you didn't know were decent enough to pretend they didn't see anything.

"Let's get going. Well fly by broom to the location." Harry stood, leaving behind his nearly full cup of tea. As much as he tried to see strong, sometimes in him gave away that he was nervous. You all knew that these copycat killers would stand to chance when it came to the Auror and the New Zealand Auror you should be meeting up with here shortly.

You all wandered outside, Ron and Draco talking softly as you did. Harry caught up to you as you grabbed a broom.

"So he read his letter" Harry spoke as you mounted your brooms.

"Yeah he did" you nodded.

"And you?" Of course he would be curious if you had read the letter from his wife.

"I did..." you nodded as you all floated. "I want to say I forgive her, but honestly Harry" he looked like he was ready for the worst "I don't think I have anything to forgive. She was just being a good friend and I am a fool for not seeing that"

"She's going to love fearing that. She's really missed you, she's been driving me a little mad talking about it actually" he laughed a little.

"I miss her too" you hadn't admitted how badly you did until today. She had been such a good friend to you, it was like losing a sister when you fought.

"Let's go" Harry waved you all, 8 flyers not including you and Draco took off high into the clouds. The sky above them was dark, the stars and moon illuminating your way.

You flew for only a little while when other people started flying around you. You and Draco flew right to one another, watching closely.

"It's just the Zealand branch" he yelled to you both, seeing how you acted to the shadows looming around you. You all landed in an open field just behind a small group of houses. Tall trees standing all around.

"Potter" one of the new faces called.

"Lee" he nodded back.

"whose this?" He gestured towards you and Draco.

"Draco and y/n Malfoy" he explained. All the new faces shot to you two. Standing close to one another, your brooms tight in your grasp.

"Malfoy..." another voice spoke.

"Yes. They're here to help us identify if their recognize any of the old death eaters"

"You trust a Malfoy?" The first man asked, he stood tall. Very thin, nearly a skeleton. His hair was white and just as thing.

"Yes Lee, I do" Harry didn't seemed amused at the questions. Sometimes you forgot how serious Harry's job really was. Being the chief of the Auror was not an easy job to have.

"And the girl?" The second voice asked, a woman.

"Y/n Malfoy. She was there at the battle that night. A good fighter. She's here if needed, to see if she may recognize anyone as well" Harry honestly had probably just let you come out of kindness. Knowing Draco was unlikely to come without you. Seeing your bad streak of luck.

"You think she's strong enough to kill any death eaters if we see them" the woman's voice scoffed.

"She's killed more death eaters than you have Finnagan" he called back to her. That was true, you had fight alongside a group of rogue Slytherins that day. Taking 4 death eaters out in the process.

"Aye how many?" She asked, talking to you now.

"4" you spoke, while it may not seem like a lot to most people. That was 4 lives you had taken, sometimes their faces still walked into your nightmares. You by no means regretted what you did that night, you had no doubt you saved more lives than you took that night by killing who you did.
