Harry lay awake for hours before deciding that trying to go to sleep was useless. He got up, pulled his invisibility cloak out of his trunk and left the dormitory.
Harry walked for a while before he stopped in his tracks. Malfoy was walking at the end of the corridor. Harry didn’t know why he did it but he pulled off the invisibility cloak and walked up to Malfoy.
“Potter?”
“Malfoy, I—!”
Malfoy hugs Harry who almost falls backward from shock.
“I—I’m so sorry, Harry!” Draco cries and Harry is even more surprised by the use of his first name. “I was trying to find you. You…you have to get out of here! Please!”
“What, why?”
But Malfoy wasn’t listening. He was staring over Harry’s shoulder. Harry turned around and he heard what had distracted Malfoy.
Death eaters.
“C’mon, let’s go,” Draco whispers, grabbing Harry’s hand and pulling him into an empty classroom.
“Draco, what—”
“They’re trying to find you! I don’t know what we’re going to do! But we have to get out of here! They’re going to kill you!”
As Draco talks, tears are silently sliding down his face. Harry hugs him and they stay like that until they can hear voices from outside the door.
Then the door suddenly bursts open and as though this is an alarm, Draco jumps in front of Harry.
“Move out of the way, Draco,” Lucius hisses, who is at the front of the group.
“N—no! Leave Harry alone!”
One of the death eaters scoffs and says, “Leave it be, Draco. What is he, your boyfriend?”
Draco’s cheeks flush as though he’s just being teased by Pansy or Blaise.
“Just don’t hurt him! Please!”
Draco looks at his mother who promptly looks away.
“Draco, move!” Lucius says, loudly.
“Ah, shut it, Lucius,” says one of the death eaters. “He’s not going to listen. Stupefy!”
A flash of red light hits Draco in the chest. He falls to the ground and doesn’t move anymore.
“No, not my son!” Narcissa shrieks, trying to reach Draco.
“Leave it,” the death eater says and he points his wand at Harry. “Stupefy!”
And Harry falls, motionless, next to Draco.
