Drarry; the last horcrux

Chapter 26

To Harry's suprise, Draco actually shows up the after classes, but he looks un-Malfoy-like nervous.
Harry wonders why, maybe it has something to do with whatever happened that made it impossible for Draco to sleep at night?
Because Harry was sure Draco wasn't able to sleep at night, by the looks of it.

'Hello Potter.' a Draco says, looking everywhere but at Harry, Harry was pleasantly surprised with the 'Hello' part, Draco had never greeted him.

'Hello.' Harry replies awkwardly and sits down on the other side of the small table in the corner of the library.

'I didn't find anything, but I'm starting to think it may have something to do with the horcrux itself.' Draco immediately comes to the point, as always.

'Well, shite, there aren't any books about Horcruxes anymore.' Harry says and his heart becomes heavier, what if they can't destroy the horcrux, just because the mistrust felt the need to burn all the books about it. Harry understands why though, they couldn't have a Voldemort part 2.

'Wrong.' Draco says, Harry sees his nervousness wearing off, now he is in known waters again.
'They have a secret basement in the ministry, with all destroyed books.'

Harry's thoughts began to race. A secret basement? All the books still existed?
'How do you know?' Harry asks suspiciously.

'I overheard my father, talking to the other death-eaters-' Draco flinches slightly 'I didn't know what they meant back then, I didn't care much.'

Again, Draco proofs how helpful he is in this matter, harry can't name another trustable person who could possibly know such things.
Apart from that, Harry feels the urge to comfort Draco, seeing how difficult the blonde finds it to cope with the fact his father is still a death-eater.

'So you're suggesting we break into the ministry?' Harry asks much more calmly than he feels. Again. He adds quietly, recalling the painful events in fifth year.

Draco nods and gets up.
'You managed to get in the ministry unrecognized. Twice, if I recall it right. Do you think you can make a plan to get us in there?' He asks.

'You mean, just us two?' Harry asks incredulously, he had never gone on an adventure, or mission, without Hermione and Ron.

Draco nods again, a stray of platinum blonde hair falling for his eyes if he does so.
'I know you want to take Weaselbee and Granger with you, but a group of four draws attention, and your friends aren't on particularity good terms with me.' Draco explains.

Although Harry doesn't like it, he knows Draco is right.
Draco needs to lead the way to the secret library, so it will be just the two of them. The thought of that makes something in his stomach twitch happily.

'Bye.' Draco says, surprising Harry again.
'Harry.' He adds, leaving Harry staring after him with wide eyes.
