OUR DARLING D

Chapter 35

I'm so sorry yall this is the last chapter I hope you enjoyed this book I will see you in the next boon give me some name ideas<3

JoKer,

I do apologize for writing late. As I am writing this, the Daily Prophet containing Sirius Black's innocence is in front of me. I can't believe that our 'nonexistent' plan of spreading the Case reports succeeded. Sirius Black is finally free!

Regarding Buckbeak as you've both said in the letter, I heard from Hagrid that he's alive and well. Not personally, though. I just heard him tell it to Potter and his friends.

Tell your friend that I say, "Hi!" and "I'll put up with them until I get bored."

So better stay interesting, Jo and Ker.

You don't know how much it meant to me to see the day Black got free. It's like one step towards the change in the Wizarding world!

I do hope in the midst of what's happening, you both still remember to do your homework!

Until the next letter.

Yours,

D

In all actuality, this probably has to come first.

Draco figured this would totally happen sooner and not later (due to Hermione's insistence). Draco is very new on this friendship thing (yknow, not Pureblood or Slytherin at all) and he knows forgiveness isn't something that can be given so easily. It's not something as easy as wand swishing no matter how much he wanted it to be right at this moment.

One night, Harry and Draco met alone in an expanded alcove. Their meetup place was almost blown when Harry thought it was a bright idea to startle Draco causing the blond to curse and whip out his wand. Harry's laughter echoed so much that they filled the small space with silencing spells.

"So..."

"So..."

Both boys looked at each other, silently holding a staring competition. When Harry blinked first (because his eyes are weak, Malfoy, sod off), Draco nodded at Harry.

"You first."

Harry didn't know what compelled him to open up but seeing Draco in a different light (truly, it was also very dim in the alcove), seeing him so earnest and sincere had Harry telling him his secret of how Dursleys treated him. When he finished sharing what he could, Draco silently reached out and gripped Harry's hand.

"Cousin Siri won't ever do any of that. I swear on my Family name."

Harry smiled brightly, "I never thought I'd be so excited to wait for summer."

Draco's smile faltered slightly and he sighed. "I do wish I could feel the same."

At Harry's curious gaze, Draco in turn, spoke of his own homelife too. Seeing Harry's horrified look, Draco figured it would be a good idea to stop since he doesn't want to scare off his new friend.

They were silent for a while since they were clearly quite shocked that each other's lives didn't differ much.

A few minutes before curfew, to liven up the atmosphere surrounding them, they scheduled a Seeker's match.

"Scared you'll lose, Potter?"

"You wish."

They grinned as they went their separate ways. Harry never thought he could get along with the blond at all but it was a surprise he had fun even though they were just sharing. Draco never really thought Harry could be another listening ear, another dependable shoulder he could lean on.
