Secrets || Draco Malfoy

Twenty- Five

"Don't let me spoil the fun." Ron says dramatically. I know he's mad cause he's wearing the locket.

"What's wrong?" Harry asks turning to face him.
"Nothings wrong according to you." Ron says.
"Well, if you have something to say don't be shy, spit it out."
"Alright, I'll spit it out. But don't expect me to be grateful now because there's another damn thing we've got to find."
"I thought you knew what you signed up for." Harry says.
"Yeah, I thought so too."

Hermione and I share a look.

"Well, look I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand." Harry says getting up to stand infront of him. I stand up worriedly. "What part of this isn't living up to your expectations? Did you think we were going to be staying in a five star hotel? Finding a horcrux every other day? You thought you were going to be back at your mums by Christmas?"

"I just thought after all this time we might've actually achieved something."
"Ron-." I try as me and Hermione walk over to stand by them.
"I thought you knew what you were doing! I thought Dumbledore would've told you something worthwhile."
"I told you everything Dumbledore told me!" Harry yells.
"Incase you haven't noticed we found a horcrux." I say.
"Yeah and we're about as close to getting rid of it as we are to finding the rest." Ron says looking at me.

"Ron, please take the horcrux off." Hermione says trying to take it off of him. He pushes her off.
"Do you know why I listen to that radio every night? To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name. Or Fred. Or George. Or mum." Ron says.

"You think we're not listening too!" I yell.
"You think we don't know how this feels?" Harry yells.
"No you don't know how this feels! Your parents are dead! You have no family!" Ron yells.
"Go to hell!" I yell.

Harry lunges at him while Hermione screams for them to stop.

"Fine, then go!" Harry yells. Ron throws the locket off and gets his stuff.
"And you, are you coming or staying?" He says to Hermione.

Hermione looks at us and back at him.
"Fine, I get it. I saw you and Harry."
"Ron, that's nothing." She tries as he leaves. Hermione follows after him.

"Bloody hell." I mutter.

Hermione comes back in crying.
"Mione." I say running over to her and hugging her. We sit there for a bit until Harry comes over and hugs us too.

We arrive at Godrocs hallow. The roads are snowy and empty.
"I still think we should've used a polyjuice potion." Hermione says.
"No, this is where we were born we're not returning as someone else." I say. Harry nods.

A bell rings as we start walking.

"Guys, I think it's Christmas Eve." Hermione says. We listen to the Christmas carols.

"Do you reckon they'd be in there." Harry says looking at the graves.
"Only one way to find out." I say making my way over.

We find it. Harry and I just stand there staring at it. I reach out and grab Harry's arm.

I wonder what it would've been like to have them as parents. They would've been great.

Hermione walks over and kneels down. She makes flowers appear before standing on Harry's other side. I notice Harry crying and I wipe a tear as well.

"Merry Christmas." Harry says.
"Merry Christmas." Hermione and I say.

We eventually walk away. A strange woman walks up to us.
