Obliviate (Drarry)

Chapter 14

Harry's POV

Draco is hiding something. I just know it. At first I didn't think much about it, but after I witnessed him acting so strangely after I confronted him about the room of requirement, I have noticed things I didn't before.

Like he tends to leave the room at a specific time of day, every day and disappears for hours, sometimes even the entire day. 

I have watched him come out of the room of requirement a few times now, but I have no idea what he is doing or why it is so important.

Maybe he just needs alone time? 

That's what I have been trying to convince myself of, but so far it is not working. I know something is wrong. I just have to find out what.

Today, a week before my potion is to finally be finished, is another day that Draco Malfoy has mysteriously disappeared, odd thing about it is that he's already been to the room of requirement. I watched him come out of it a couple of hours ago. 

I thought he would be going back to his friends like he usually does, but according to Parkinson and Zabini, they haven't seen him since this morning.

So the question remains. Where is he now and what is he doing?

I decided to search the school for him. It's Sunday and so it's not like I have any classes to worry about. I can spend the rest of the day looking for him, if I need to.

I wish he would tell me what's going on. We're friends, aren't we? I know we have to keep it a secret, but we are still friends and so you think he would trust me, especially since I already know that he's technically a death eater.

However, I have noticed that I don't think his friends know either. They seem to have no clue about where Draco disappears off to, nor have they seemed too concerned about it.

They may not know exactly what he is doing, but I bet they have some idea and has just refused to tell me.

I continued to search the school, checking empty classrooms, astronomy tower, owlery, and other such places. I even enlisted the help of Zabini and asked him to check the Slytherin common room and dorm. He came back several minutes later and said he was no where inside.

"I'll keep looking for him, but if you find him head to the girls bathroom on the second floor." Zabini said after stating he couldn't find him in the common room.

"Myrtle's bathroom? Why there?" I asked.

"Granger is working on the potion there, wants us all to meet."

"Why didn't she just tell me that herself earlier?"

"How am I supposed to know that? She just told me to pass the message on if I saw you." He remarked.

"Alright, I'll be there once I find him." I said and left the dungeons.

He could be lying about Draco not being in there, I suppose, but I don't have much of a reason to think that he is.

Thus, I have continued on my search. This time, directing my attention outside.

I tried near the entrance of the forbidden forest, near the lake, and even around Hagrid's house. The last place I checked was the Quidditch field, which to my amazement, I found him flying around on a broomstick. He was weaving left and right, up and down, taking loops and full turns at top speeds. Sometimes it would look like he had turned too fast that he would momentarily let go of the broomstick, as if he is about to fall straight off.

Maybe he is trying to fall straight off. Flying around like that reminds me of all the times I have done the exact same thing, trying to get my mind off of something and when just flying would fail, I would resort to doing dangerous maneuvers that I eventually would actually hurt myself.
