Time had went on and Draco just couldn't take it. There was an overwhelming feeling in his stomach. He knew he had to go back and talk to Harry and fix this. They hadn't talked at all and he knew Harry was completely avoiding him.

He went to the burrow searching for Harry. Molly opening the door for him.

"Hi Draco. Come in, come in."

"Thank you Mrs. Weasly. I am looking for Harry. Is he here?"

"Right upstairs." she gestured pointing upwards, giving him permission to head upstairs.

It was dark but Draco managed to walk upstairs without tripping over his own feet. When he reached the outside of Harry's bedroom he heard voices coming from inside.

"We have to find them and destroy them. It is the only way Voldemort can be stopped."

"Where would we even start?"

"I have an idea of where, The Gringotts bank."

"Are you mad Harry? We will never make it in."

"Listen we have to get in. I have a feeling Voldemort hid Helga's Hufflepuff cup in Bellatrix's vault."

"And so what?"

"So what? I know for a fact that Tom Riddle was obsessed with Hogwarts. For a long time it was his one and only home. His horocruxes must be linked to Hogwarts. Also why else would Voldemort even have that cup. It belonged to Helga herself. He must have stolen it or done anything to get his hands on it."

"I believe your right Harry. The question still dwells. How are we getting in?"

Draco pushed the door slowly open making all three of them jump.

"I may be able to help with that."

"Draco how long have you been listening in?"

"Not long. But long enough to know that you need to get in and I just happen to know how to."

Harry scoffed loudly and turned away.

"And how would that be?" asked Ron.

"Well you don't think my dear aunt Bellatrix gave me regular access to her vault? After all we are blood related."

Hermione gasped.

"Your right Draco. If anyone were to have access to that vault it had to have been someone blood related. And...I have her wand. We could easily trick them into thinking were visiting the vault together. I would just have to......become her."

"Polyjuice potion." said Draco.

Harry started shaking his head angrily.

"It's a stupid idea it will never work."

"Well actually considering how no one knows I left the Death eaters and I technically have the dark mark there is really no reason why they should be suspicious of anything. What would a bank possibly know? Plus...you know Harry I was a Death eater once. If anyone got to know Voldemort behind the scenes it was me. I know so much about him. I can help you guys find the horocruxes."

"Draco we don't need you. I doubt this is even your fight to fight."

Those words stung in Draco's heart but he tried to remain calm.

"Why wouldn't it be? I left for a reason didn't I?"

"Yeah because you were too much of a coward to stay."

"HARRY." Screamed Hermione angrily.

"Is that what you really think of me Harry? A coward?"

Harry didn't answer.

"Answer me this then. Why did I save your life then?"

Harry still didn't answer, not like he even knew what to say. He picked himself up and stormed out the room. Hermione following quick after him. 

"Don't listen to him. He's just been.... stressed." Ron told Draco feeling really bad for him.

"Yeah....stressed." Draco answered disappointed. 

Down the hall Hermione followed after Harry.

"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU HARRY?"

"I'm sick of that jerk. He hasn't been doing anything since he left Voldemort. Just wasting my time and playing with my feelings. He is trouble Hermione. I should have never let myself get involved."

"Harry your being ridiculous. HE SAVED YOUR LIFE. HE HELPED PRISONERS ESCAPE. HE HAS BEEN IN THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. This so petty of you."

"Call it what you want Hermione but he is NOT coming with us."

"Listen to me Harry. If you really want to defeat Voldemort he is the best chance we have of doing it. We have someone who's been on the inside. Who spent time with Voldemort himself and probably knows his weaknesses more than anyone. The one who has access to the vault. Can you put your ridiculous assumptions aside and please cooperate?"

Harry felt silent for a long time. Not really knowing what to say. They were both interrupted as Draco walked out to the hall. He look at Harry then turned to Hermione.

"I am going to head out. Best of luck guys and please be careful." he said, specifically looking at Harry with a worried look.

He walked off.

"WAIT!" He heard Harry call out

Draco stopped.

"Can you really get us into that vault?"

"Without a problem." he said with a smirk.

Harry looked at Hermione angrily but it quickly faded away as he turned to Draco trying to make it less obvious that this was embarrassing for him.

"Then...maybe you should join us. You could be...useful I guess."

"Great we will leave in the morning. I will go tell Ron." Hermione said smiling and heading back to Harry's room leaving Draco and Harry alone in the hallway.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"Look Harry about what happened at the wedding."

"Don't. Nothing happened. It never happened got it?"

Draco was really hurt by Harry's word. He didn't even know what he did or what even truly happened but he decided that at the very least Harry was talking to him now. He decided not to ruin in by getting into it. After all it would only make it more difficult when they'd be going after horocruxes together.

"Got it. I-I'll see you tomorrow Harry."

"You can call me Potter." Harry snapped angrily.

"Potter of course. I'm sorry."

Harry walked away not saying anything, leaving Draco alone in the dark hallway.
