REMERGED RIVERS

Death Eater

"DEATH EATER SCUM! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ANYWHERE NEAR HOGWARTS! ONLY PLACE YOU DESERVE TO BE IS AZKABAN!!"

Those were the first words Harry heard when he entered the common room. He saw Seamus standing next to the bookshelf with his wand aimed  directly at Draco,who was on the floor,already a victim of the Expelliarmus spell. Everyone else in the room was just staring wide-eyed at the exchange;not even trying to do anything to stop it.
Even Ron and Hermione. The bastards. The only person who looked to be trying was Dean,who was trying to calm his boyfriend and by the looks of it,he was failing. Seamus was in a rage.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you Seamus?!Why are you hexing him?" Harry asks, growing more furious by the second.

"Well I don't know Harry,maybe because he's been bullying you for the past seven years?Maybe because he's been taunting and making fun of us all? Or - just hear me out - because he is a DEATH EATER?!!!!!!

"WAS! He was a death eater. Not is. Do you really think just because he was marked by a sociopathic Dark Wizard who threatened him and forced him to take it automatically makes him a killer? And by hexing him,do you think you're any better?!" Harry shouts back.

"And he deserves every right to be here at Hogwarts,perhaps even more than you. If it weren't for him,the Elder Wand would have answered to Voldemort, meaning he would be the most powerful Dark  Wizard to ever be. So stop being prejudiced for once,and try to look at the facts beforehand."

By the time he finishes,Harry is out of breath. He looks around the room to see everyone having the audacity to look ashamed. He sees Draco standing up slowly and taking his wand from where it lay on the ground and pocketing it. He walks slowly towards Harry,and the words he says astounds him.

"Thank you,Harry."

Harry. Draco had just called him Harry. He remembers every detail. The little smile that flashed across his face as he said it. The way his pearly-white teeth shined as he said it,his cheeks flushing in the process.

It was as if it was a statute by Merlin,Morgana, Mordred,Circe and all the greatest wizards who lived that Draco Malfoy was to be the most beautiful man to walk this earth.

After that heated exchange in the common room and Draco's thankyou which Harry was not forgetting any time soon;Draco left for their room while the others slowly went back to their businesses. Seamus had fled immediately,his boyfriend Dean quick on his footsteps. From what he knew,they could probably already be snogging in their room.

But Harry couldn't care less;his mind had other matters at hand.
