"Okay, we need to find the Horcruxes, destroy them, and then we have an open shot at killing You-Know-Who." You said as you all stood around a big wooden table. Wands and other magical things were scattered on top, including a map of the London streets and Hogwarts.
"Harry, Ron, and I will go after the cup and locket," Hermione said. You nodded, glancing at Fred, George, and Ginny. "We will stay behind, hidden, hoping we can help with anything they need. If we go as a group, we will get unwanted attention from the Death eaters." You stated.
"Understood, all we need is to help when needed. We will stay in contact with Neville and Luna in Hogwarts to see how things are going. All we know for now is that Snape is now headmaster." George said after.
"I know..." You said quietly, looking down at the table. "I will try to learn everything I can from You-Know-Who while you guys are gone. I'll keep him off your trail as long as I can." Harry walked to your side, taking your hand in his. "Thank you. I know we never said it but thank you." He said.
You smiled up at him, glancing at everyone else who was looking at you with thankful looks. "How can you look at me like that after everything I have done?" You whispered. Hermione took your hand and squeezed it tightly since she was standing beside you.
"Despite everything, you are still willing to help and go against Voldemort's wishes. You are risking your life for us and we are willing to protect you from whatever it is to come your way for your actions." She said softly.
You looked down at both hands holding yours, giving them a soft squeeze. "Thank you." You said quietly. You didn't know if to believe them. Maybe they were planning on killing you after making you believe that they meant no harm.
But you decided to trust them. After all, you had no choice but to bring this onto yourself. You trusted them either way. If they wanted to kill you, you would embrace death like an old friend.

"Any news from Harry and Hermione?" You asked as you sat on the couch in your living room, eating some popcorn. "They are looking for Godric's Sword. It seems to be the only way to destroy the locket." Fred said, eating some chocolate frogs.
"Good. Voldy doesn't know where they are and I have been trying to lead him in the other direction. He won't know it was me, thankfully." You stated, taking another popcorn and eating it, enjoying the crunch.
"What about Malfoy? Doesn't he suspect anything about you?" George asked, leaning forward a bit. "No, he doesn't. He has been too busy doing god knows what. He hasn't been in the meetings for some reason." You said quietly, looking down at the bowl with popcorn.
"What if he is after them? Or you? Or looking for new death eaters?" Fred asked. "Yes, it makes sense," Geroge said after.
"I don't think so. But the last one, looking for new death eaters, probably. Voldemort is looking to make his army bigger and stronger before we attack Hogwarts." You said.
A few minutes of silence passed and it was broken by the doorbell, making you look through the hallway to see who it was. All you could see was blonde hair, and it was enough for you to guess who it was.
"Hide! It's Draco." You whisper-yelled. You helped them hide somewhere safe before hurrying to open the door. "Draco, hey." You said a bit out of breath.
"Hey, I'm sorry for showing up without informing you beforehand." He said, walking inside when you gestured him to do so.
"I just found something important I need to share with you." He said. You closed the door and nodded, looking up at him, "What is it?" You asked worriedly.
"First, I really need this." He said as his hands went to your cheeks, pulling you in for a deep kiss. You grabbed his waist and pulled him closer, smiling slightly into the kiss.
He tilted his head and sighed happily, pulling a few centimeters away from your lips. "I missed you." He whispered. You smiled up at him, nodding your head.
"I missed you too. You've been gone for so long I thought you ran away from me." You whispered back. "Never." He whispered again before kissing you once more.
He moved his hands to your waist, pulling your body to be against his while you move your arms around his shoulders.
"Okay, before we trail off to something we won't be able to stop doing, I need to say this." He said after pulling away again.
You hummed, urging him to go on. He looked at you, deep into your eyes. "I know you have been helping Potter with the Horcruxes." He said quietly.
You widened your eyes, your arms unwrapping slowly from his shoulders, backing away from him. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"Voldemort knows, doesn't he?" You said, tears trailing down your cheeks. You covered your mouth as Draco made his way to you, shaking his head.
"No, no, no, no. He doesn't only I know." He said quickly, taking your hands in his. "Only I know." He repeated in a softer tone.
"Are you going to tell him? Or kill me?" You asked in a whisper, staring at him in fear. He shook his head again, moving some of your hair caringly behind your ear.
"No. I'm going to help you with helping them." He said.
