"•Family-matters•"

Chapter 27: soon

Everything went black, Harry's body went limp as he fell into the bushes, his stomach growling, his body aching with pain

Harry woke up who knows how much later in the basement of the Dursley's house, a piece of paper and a pen laid in front of him, as he picked up the piece of paper he realized this was his chance to get a letter to Dudley, as soon as Dudley was back Harry knew he would get less punishment

Harry quickly wrote a letter to Dudley begging him to come home, harry held the letter in his hand and imagined it being delivered straight to Dudley, and much to his surprise it actually worked, a few days later Dudley was home

As soon as Dudley walked in the door Harry was yet again forgotten, Harry finally got the privilege to sleep in his cupboard again, but Harry wasn't sure he wanted to stay anymore, he knew he deserved this punishment for what he had said to Draco but he wasn't sure if he would make it another day with his supposed to be amazing family that in reality treated him like a worthless no body, but he couldn't find the strength to simply stand.

Draco and Fred had gotten closer while Harry was missing, they both wanted nothing more than to find him and make sure that he's ok, neither of them cared how long it took, or how hard they had to try, they were willing yo do anything and everything for him.

Finally Draco was able to get Harry's face on the first page of the daily prophet, Harry was announced missing by the ministry, and there was a cash prize of three thousand dollars to whoever was able to find him alive. But Draco and Fred didn't care about that, they just wanted to find harry

They really did search everyone and anywhere they could possibly think of, Draco and Fred started to look for clues as to where he could have gone, they decided to go through Harry's things and try and find any clues, Draco got the box Harry had left under the bed for him and showed it too Fred, they looked at the photo of Harry and Draco together for hours, they missed Harry's beautiful smile

Draco flipped the photo over and saw an address written on the back and of course it was the only place they hadn't thought about searching. The Dursley's home.

Harry laid awake in on the stairs of the basement, praying that someone would save him, he realized in that moment just how dumb he was for running away from the one person who would love him forever and ever, Draco.

Harry sniffled and started to silently sniffle, he pulled a small necklace out of his pocket, he's had it since the day he left, he had planned to surprise Draco with matching necklaces, he had one with Draco's name on it and Draco would have one with his name on it, but he didn't get the chance to give Draco the necklace

Harry put the necklace on and softly cried, he slowly slipped into little space as he cried into his hands

"dwaco...pwease save mwe" Harry silently begged that Draco would save him

Harry cried even harder once he realized that this had all been his fault

Draco gasped as he read the address on the back of the photo to Fred

"NUMBER FOUR PRIVET DRIVE!! FRED HES THERE!" Draco's eyes filled with tears as he hugged him tight, as Draco cried Fred started to cry too

" we are gonna save him! He's coming home Draco, we are going to save him tonight, I swear to you that you will not go another night without that precious little boy in your arms"

Fred gently rubbed Draco's back as Draco cried into his arms

"H-he's gonna be ok right? We are gonna save him right?"

Fred nodded and smiled

"Of course we are but first we need to prepare"

Draco looked at Fred, confusion in his eyes as he stood up

"What do you mean?" Draco asked, slightly turning his head

"I mean that he have to find a way to get in to the house without alarming the muggles, they would never allow us to take him from them. Knowing those sick people we probably need borrow something from Harry."

Fred quickly went to the small closet in the nursery, he pulled out a small suitcase that he knew Harry kept in the closet since that's exactly where he kept it when he stayed with them for Christmas break

Fred quickly pulled out a large cloak

"Woah what is that?" Draco asked

"It's an invisibility cloak, It's Harry's, him and ron would often use it to pull pranks on us, now let's get some more things we are gonna need"

together they came up with a list of everything they would need for operation save Harry, they decided they would need a total of exactly five things, the invisibility cloak, a sleeping drought, bandages, things to clean wounds, and Harry's favorite blanket.

Harry got off the stairs of the basement and found a light switch, he turned the light on and saw the small pull out bed he had been sleeping on maybe two days ago, it wasn't the most comfortable but it was a lot better then sleeping outside in the bushes or in the cupboard

Harry gently brought his thumb into his mouth and gently sucked on his thumb, started humming to himself, he curled into a ball and yawned, his body aching

"goodbye Draco..." Harry thought as he closed his eyes, he knew he would never survive another day and he was ready to let go of everything, all the pain in his body, all the fears in his head, he let it all drift away as he closed his eyes

Draco grabbed his backpack, it was filled with supplies and snacks, Draco and Fred looked at each other and smiled

"I'll see you soon my love" Draco whispered to himself
