Harry, who had finally reached his safe place, lifted the invisibility cloak from his shoulders. Draco's eyes couldn't have been wider. He blinked a few times, but he could see right.

Harry had taken off his invisibility cloak.

Harry's ever tidy appearance was engulfed in a sad glory. His ministry uniform was wrinkled, his hair was up to the middle of his neck. Potter dropped the cloak at the corner of James and Lily's tombstone. As if he wanted to return the two to the real world by hiding the stone. He sat on the ground and leaned on an invisible stone.

Draco was a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He couldn't lean and had nowhere to sit next to Harry. He did not know what to do with his hands. He stood with his hands on his chest for a moment, but he regretted it and let out a heavy breath.

He turned his eyes to Potter and was momentarily startled by Harry's meaningful look over his cracked glasses. He lowered his head and stared at his shoes. Harry shook his head sadly. He bent a little and took his wand towards the grave of his parents.

In silence, he performed a spell that brought out small silver flowers from the soil. He returned to his previous position and rested his head on the invisible stone.

There was silence for a long time. Draco had performed his Patronus and was watching its movements through Harry's silver flowers. The good feeling created by his Patronus was more than the power of the first day.

His white peacock was sitting at Harry's feet and weaving a silver wreath. Harry was staring at the peacock's movements with a faint smile. Draco's fledgling Patronus was a little different. It was not lively like the rest of the Patronos. It always sat so quietly.

Harry raised his head and looked at Malfoy. He waited for him to feel the weight of his gaze and notice Harry. He liked this method more than calling people with their names.

"Snape loved my mother."As soon as Draco's gaze returned to him from the blue light of his wand, Harry said.

Draco's face made Harry laugh.

"Are you kidding?"

He said with a tone between shock and laughter. Harry frowned. He was only seventeen at the moment Severus died right in front of his eyes. It was impossible for him to forget these memories.

"The War of Hogwarts... he gave me his memories before he died."

He said as he played with his nails and stared into Draco's face. Harry hoped Draco would understand what he meant. Draco's lump in the throat wasn't visible in the blue light of his wand. The thought of Snape was horrifying to him. The strength that stayed with Snape until his death lay right in front of his feet. The blue light around the Patronus danced on the tombstone inscriptions. Draco had a deep smile on his face.

"The love between your parents is commendable, Harry."

Potter smiled. He was much better. He felt it himself. He stood up and took the invisibility cloak with one hand and put the other hand in his uniform pocket.

"Let's go home."he said.

And he showed the village by moving his head. After the white peacock weaved the last silver flower in the crown, it followed Harry and Draco towards the Potter family home and disappeared in a blue halo.
