Life goes on... (drarry)

[41]

Harry's POV:

They arrived at Hogwarts that night. Harry was woken up by Ron and they left the train together. Draco was no where to be seen but Harry figured it was better for them to not speak in public.

As soon as he had eaten and said goodbye to Ron and Hermione he went up to Dumbledore's office. He was completely exhaused and just wanted to go to bed, but Hermione was right. Dumbledore should know about what happened.

Harry remembered the password and knocked on the big door of Dumbledore's office.
"Come in," he heard. He entered.

"Harry. I was surprised when I saw you at the feast today," Dumbledore looked amused. Harry wondered how on earth he wasn't mad at him.

"You must be wondering why I'm not shouting at you right now. Well, that is because I know that you have a good explanation. And I am willing to hear you out before I get cross at you for no reason. That would be a waste of time and energy and, quite frankly, I don't have much left of either. But enough of that, I would like to hear what you have got to say," Dumbledore said kindly.

Harry sat down on the chair opposite to Dumbledore and started talking. But this time he didn't leave out any details. He knew that with Dumbledore, it was exactly those details that mattered.

"So, if I understand correctly, you and Mister Malfoy are currently wanted by Voldemort and his followers?" Dumbledore said after Harry had finished. He no longer looked amused, more concerned.

Harry nodded. "Yes, sir. But please don't get Draco in trouble. He did nothing wrong. He just wanted to help me. It was his idea that we even go back to Hogwarts, Professor. Without him I probably wouldn't be here," Harry replied.

Dumbledore nodded.
"No, Harry. I will not get Draco in trouble. But I would like a word with him. If you would be so kind and fetch him for me. After that, go to bed. You have lessons tomorrow and, by what I've heard, you really have deserved some rest"

"Yes, sir," Harry said again.
"Goodnight, Professor," he said shortly after.

"Goodnight, Harry. Oh and, Harry. Please meet me in my office at this time tomorrow. There is something important you should know" Dumbledore replied. Harry nodded and left his office.
He did not however head to Gryffindor commonroom but went straight to Slytherin, like Dumbledore had asked.

He tried the passwort that Draco had told him earlier that year but it was not working.
"Harry," He heard Draco's voice behind him and turned around.

"Draco, Dumbledore wants to talk to you. He knows everything," Harry said, getting straight to the point.

"Oh, now?"
"Yes, I talked to him just a few minutes ago. But he said that he wanted to talk to you too," Harry said.

"I'll go now then. Goodnight, Harry," Draco said and gave Harry a peck on the lips.

"Night"
