a/n: this chapter and probably the next also is from draco's point of view, for the hogwarts point of view. it takes place starting sept. to oct.
The train ride to Hogwarts, according to Draco, was a royal shit-show without Harry, Ron and Hermione, no offence to Blaise and Pansy. Yes, they were his best friends but so were Ron and Hermione and the worst part is that either one of them could die at any sec- no! he didn't want to think about that. He and Hermione kept communicating about November 2nd. Hermione wanted Harry to have one good day in a sea of bad during their time in the woods, or wherever the hell in the world they were. He and Hermione decided that he would bring them some food at the Forest of Dean, where they were at November 2nd, three weeks from now. He and Harry had a conversation- the conversation, one that both of them would rather have in person and one that Draco thought, they should've had it in sixth year. Draco was going to Defense Against the Dark Arts class, while he thought of this. Amycus Carrow was gruesome and ruthless, and he just so happened to be their DADA teacher. The DADA teacher. How the hell was this a good idea? No one knew. Honestly, secretly fighting for the light-side was exhausting to say the least, but it was a price to be paid for the greater good.
He was tired and close to dosing off when he heard Neville say "Professor! Why did the chicken cross the road?" Amycus was already pretty pissed at Neville, but went along with it to y'know? Get to Crucio someone, so he said "why?" with an annoyed look. Neville smirked and said "to meet the idiot," he saw Amycus raise his wand and said "wait! I'm not done! Knock knock-" "who's there?" Neville smirked even more and said "the chicken," it took Amycus some time to realize the joke and when he did he raisd his wand towards Neville and immediately Crucioed him, while Neville didn't give him the satisfaction of hearing his pain. Draco wanted to Stun Amycus and that's exactly what he did. Discreetly, of course. When Neville as running the DA, he made sure to tell everyone that Draco was fighting on their side and that no one was to be told, so when Draco was forced to Crucio them, they'd forgive him when he apologized profusely after cornering them in the RoR. He walked up to Neville, gave him his hand and then Obliviated Amycus of Stunning him and of what Neville said as much as he didn't want to. They Rennervated him immediately after and Draco sat back onto his seat and everyone shut their mouths about that happening, even though internally, everyone was going wild.
He ringed Harry and told him about it right after, who laughed till hecouldn't breathe and until Ron had to lift him back onto the bed. Hermionecalled him later in the night, cursing him for breaking Harry, who keptbreaking into giggles and fully-blown laughter at random intervals muttering an'ah, Neville's the best,' right after. Draco found that rather amusing, but hadto sympathize with Hermione so as to not feel the wrath. Hogwarts was being runhorribly and according to Draco, that was inevitable. He occasionallymet with Professor McGonagall and talked about the Death Eater meetings, withmuch hesitation and tears from both ends and occasionally rubbing hisengagement ring for a small amount of comfort. He went to the RoR, every nighthelping Neville and those staying there, with food and Defense and he got Dobbyand some more house elves to help. He spoke with Neville and filled him inabout Death Eater Meetings as well, with the impression that Neville was justas imperative as Harry and as Professor McGonagall in this war. He went back tohis room, the one which he shared with Blaise. He and Blaise started sleepingon the same bed to comfort each other and help the other through theirnightmares, if any.
They normally slept peacefully but Draco and Blaise always had similar nightmares of their loved ones dying and their boyfriends getting tortured into insanity, not remembering an inkling about them, the same one Ron had one night in The Burrow, one place that both Draco and Blaise couldn't wait to visit. He curled up on one side and saw Blaise turn and thought nothing of it. He fell asleep and woke up when he felt a weight of a thousand elephants on his torso, that weight being Blaise's hand. Oy vey, he thought, nothing else can be done but this, he thought when he turned around, adjusted himself to the most amount of comfort he could get and let an arm flop around Blaise's torso and fell into a not-so deep slumber.
