Life goes on... (drarry)

[40]

Draco's POV:

The next few days were quiet. Harry and Draco almost forgot that they were on the run and not on holiday.
But that wouldn't last long.
Draco woke up earlier than Harry which was already unusual. He went downstairs to make breakfast for Harry and himself. When he passed the front door he saw a letter in front of it.

Draco,
They know where you are. Go to Hogwarts, that's the only place where you're safe.
Narcissa

Harry's POV:

Harry woke up to the sound of their trunks being packed by Draco.
"Draco, what are you doing?" He asked, confused.

"Packing," Draco replied. He was in a hurry and only gave short answers to Harry's questions.

"Where are we going?" Harry asked again after Draco had brought their bags downstairs.

"School," Draco only answered and got their brooms out of the broomcupboard.

"I- what? Why school?" Harry was still extremely confused.
"It's the only place where you're safe. Where we're safe," Draco said, answering the question properly for the first time.

"Okay but why all of a sudden? I thought we were safe here. You said that nobody knows about this place"

"That's what I thought. But apparently I was wrong," Draco handed Harry the letter.

"I see," Harry said quietly after reading it. "Let's go then!"

They set off. Kings Cross was a long way away. And they had to be fast to catch the train.

After putting their trunks away, they went to sit in the Hogwarts Express. They both decided to sit with their own friends to avoid unnecessary attention.

Harry quickly found Ron and Hermione in a compartment with Ginny.

"Harry! For Merlin's sake where the hell were you? You had us worried sick! Have you any idea how much the Order looked for you? Dumbledore even left Hogwarts for you. You look terrible, what have you been doing?" Hermione said as he entered. She was near tears. Harry gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry," he could only say. Ron and Ginny stayed silent.
"You're sorry? You are so stupid, Harry Potter," Hermione slapped his arm. "You have a lot to explain"

Harry started to tell them the story. He left out the dangerous parts but he told them that he was on the run from Voldemort.

"Dumbledore would want to know about this," Hermione said after he had finished. "You should tell him as soon as we get back"

After that Harry sat down and emediately fell asleep. He was completely exhaused.
