Drarry; the last horcrux

chapter 13

'So Crabbe sr and Goyle sr didn't really defect?' Hermione asks.

'Yeah, and Malfoy, Dolohov and Yaxley also have something to do with it, but Dolohov and Yaxley are in Azkaban, so I guess they can't do much right now.' Harry replies and looks at the list Hermione made.

'How do you know that?' Ron asks.
Luckily, Harry was smart enough to prepare an answer for this, or actually, Malfoy helped him remind that he had to make up an excuse. And malfoy also made up an excuse. Harry had done nothing actually.

'Kingsley owled me that he heard them talking about some object they had to hide, while Malfoy was pointing at something around his neck.
I Guess the death-eaters already obliviated Kingsley, because when I owled him back he told me he had no idea what I was talking about.' Harry lies.

'Maybe he didn't want to talk about it over owls?'Hermione puts in.

'He would've magically sealed it, like he did with the first letter.'

'strange, indeed. Did Kingley see what the object looked like?'

'Yeah, a silver globe with a tiny snake printed in it.'

'Does Malfoy still work at the ministry?' Ron asks from the couch.

'I don't think so, why?' Harry replies frowning.

'I could've asked my father to look for it.' He says and stuffs another chocolate frog in his mouth.

'we'll have to find another way to find it then.'

'Malfoy.' Harry directly came to the secret room after classes ended, they had agreed to meet here today again, because Harry still had a lot to figure out.

'Potter.'

'How are you?' Harry asks, in an attempt to be a little more friendly with the slytherin. He doesn't know why, but he feels a strange urge to make the blonde like him.

'I'm not here for a little chat. If you want to know something, ask it.' He says harsh.
'I got a letter from my father today.'

'Good for you.'Harry replies indifferent, wondering why Malfoy tells him that, when he just said he didn't want a little chat.

'I can't tell you what was in it, and I can't show you either, there was a spell on it. But he asked me something, and it has something to do with this.' Malfoy says and points at the mark on his wrist.

'He wants you to help him with hiding the horcrux.' Harry states and Malfoy nods.
'So it's official your father has something to do with it than.'

Malfoy looks down and nods again.

Harry is shocked how vunerable Malfoy is able to look. He never expected for Malfoy to let his walls down this far in front of Harry. Or perhaps he just can't hel it. Must've been quite a shock, to discover your father is voluntarily helping the most evil wizard to come back on earth.
Malfoy looks almost... cute. He had never noticed how long Malfoy's eyelashes are. They aren't blond like his hair, but brownish like his eyebrows.
Focus, harry He tells himself, this is a serious matter, why is he thinking about Malfoy's eyelashes?

'Crabbe sr and Goyle sr will be arrested soon, so your father is on his own then.' Harry says to break the awkward silence.

'We need a spy.' Malfoy says, his mask back in place.

'Were do you want to get a spy?' Harry sighs and they fall silent, both thinking about were they're going to get a spy.
'A House-elf!'Harry suddenly exclaims.

'You want a house-elf to spy for us? Are you mad?' Malfoy exclaims incredulously.

'Why not, they're lot smarter than you think, and they can't betray you.' Harry states and Malfoy frowns, visibly thinking about it.

'Vonkey'  Malfoy calls and a wrinkly house-elf appears.

'Why don't we just ask Kreacher to do this?' Harry asks, he doesn't want more people/house-elves involved than necessary.

'Kreacher isn't one of my father's house-elves, my father would notice that there suddenly is a house-elf more. Besides, Vonkey is my fathers favorite elf, it's more likely to get information through her.'

'Fair enough.'
