Chapter One - Be My Escape

Harry stirred at the persistent noise. He opened his eyes blearily and looked at the other bed across the room. “Draco, you are back. How was the fresh air?”

“Hm” The writing from the quill to parchments sound never stopped.

“I take it you were on a mission then. Was it a success?” Harry sat up lazily and looked at his companion. Draco was wearing his usual white-muscle shirt and gray track pants. Harry frowned as he noticed a bruise on Dracos shoulder. “Draco, you're injured.”

“Negligible damage.”

Harry sighed and bent down to retrieve the first aid kit in his trunk. He was used to Draco’s behaviour and often took the liberty to dress the boy's wounds. He went to Draco’s bed and sat next to the Slytherin boy. “Stop writing for a minute and let me tend to the bruise.”

Draco stopped typing, letting Harry tend his shoulder. Harry often wondered why the Slytherin didn't try to dress his small wounds or injuries by himself. If he didn't know better, he would have sworn Draco did it on purpose, like he actually wanted Harry, himself, to be tending his wounds. As time went by, he learned it was moments like this that Draco would listen to him and stop his writing to let Harry tend his injuries.

“Okay, done.” Harry said as he put the salve on the bruise. “May I know what had caused this?”

“Mm…got into a fight.” Draco continued his writing.

Harry made a face. “I shouldn't have asked you that question.” He ran his eyes over the parchment and read what Draco was writing. He always wrote about what happened throughout his days.

Needed a disguise to enter and leave my destination,
but there was no trouble in keeping the disguise.
Mission accomplished with minor damage.
At the end, the death eaters were
killed, but the other order member came to
his aid in tying up the loose ends.

“So, the Prince of Slytherin needed help?” Harry grinned then was surprised as his eyes fell upon the clock on the wall across from him. 12:10 PM. He had promised the girl to meet at 01:00 PM. “God damn it, I’ll be late!” Harry leaped out and dashed to the bathroom. He didn't notice his fellow mate eyeing him carefully. After some moments staring at the closed bathroom door, Draco turned off his bed, enclosing his parchment, and walked out, carrying a bag with him.

Breaking his own record for taking a shower, Harry walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and looked at the alarm clock. 12.21 PM. Damn, a trip by foot to the alley would take an hour and a half. He would be late if he walked there. “Draco, could you lend me your Nimbus...” Harry stopped his words as he realized Draco was not in the room. Where was he when Harry needed him? Harry cursed and quickly dressed. He went down and found Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sitting in the living room.

“Good afternoon, Harry.” Hermione smiled.

“Good afternoon, Hermione. Do you know where Draco is?” Harry looked around for his Slytherin companion.

“I saw Draco leaving with his Nimbus 2001, some minutes ago. He said he had a mission.” Ginny spoke up.

Since they just settled in to the Burrow, Dracos Nimbus 2001 broom was the only quick transportation they had at the moment. “Damn, I will be late! I hope she will wait for me!” Harry quickly left, leaving his three friends looking puzzled at one another.

“She?” Ron quirked an eyebrow

“Remind me to ask him about that when he gets back.” Ginny grinned.
