Chapter 3

-Royal Castle-Harry's chambers-

Ron walks into Harry's Chambers "what are you doing?" he asks as he sees his best friend hastily packing a bag.

"Escaping" says Harry as he puts more things in his bag.

Ron rises an eyebrow at him "care to elaborate?"

"I just need to get out... for a while."

"Harry you know..." starts Ron.

"Just please Ron. I need this. I need to feel freedom, if only for a few days. Don't worry I'll be back a few days before the ball."

"I'll have to tell..." Ron hesitates.

"For our friendships sake Ron let me have this" Asks Harry pleadingly at Ron.

Ron sighs "5 minutes that's all I'm giving before I go and tell the king."

"Thank you Ron." He says as he gives Ron a hug "You don't know what this means to me"

"Just bring yourself back here in one piece."

"Alright bye I'll see you," He says as he hurriedly exits out of the room.

"Yeah."
-Malfoy Castle-Grounds-

Draco reaches up and picks another apple and puts it in his satchel. He then peers inside the satchel, and seeing that it's full he gets down from the tree. "I think that's enough" he picks up an apple and bites it as he walks back the path towards the Castle

"yum."

Just then someone riding a horse passes him by. Draco looks intently at the horse and gets an incredulous expression on his face

"that's our horse." Heyells runningafter the horse

"stop thief!" His shoe falls off of his feet and the four-leaf clover falls out of it. Draco picks the shoe up not noticing the clover and runs after the horse thief, shoe in hand.

"Stop oh, you're not getting away from me" He throws the half eaten apple at the back of the rider, which is promptly followed by his shoe. The "horse thief" halts the horse and turns around

"ouch! What in the bloody world..." Harry takes down his hood, his robe becomes slightly skewed as he does this and the royal family insignia is shown on his right breast.

Draco's eyes practically pop out of his socket as he sees the insignia "Oh my goodness. Your highness, I'm extremely sorry." He gets down on his knees "I didn't know... please don't have me hanged." Says Draco pleadingly.

Harry blinks at him "what... oh, right I won't have you hanged for your action if you tell me why you were throwing objects at my person...It hurt" He says slightly whining as he rubs his shoulder.

"Wow talk about déjà vu."

"Excuse me"

"I...I'm really sorry I hadn't realized that you were the prince."

Harry looks at Draco incredulously. "So you just go around throwing things at random people.

"No! No of course not. It's just...I thought you were stealing our horse." He gives an uncertain look to Harry. "Of...of course you weren't, seeing as everything here belongs to you anyway, your highness. I'm sorry," He says bowing his head still in his kneeling position. "Really I am, I...I don't want to die. Please don't have me killed."

"Oh no don't worry I won't. Um... just...here's for the horse." Says Harry as he throws a small bag full of coins at the ground as he maneuvers the horse. "I'll bring it back just don't tell anyone that I came around here alright?"
