Unforgettable Memories (Dramione Fanfic)

37. The Land of Folklore

Harry was asleep when his phone went off. He turned and looked at the time. Who the hell called anyone at four in the morning? 

"Answer it before it wakes your son." Ginny murmured sleepily from beside him

"Why is he my son only  when it's convenient for you?"Harry groaned as he stretched for his phone on the bedside table.

"Just because." She said as she snuggled closer to him he laughed and answered his phone.

"Hello?"

"Potter?"The voice answered back, Harry looked at his phone in awe before quickly putting it back to his ear

"Malfoy?" Why the hell was he calling him at this hour? Ginny sat up and slipped the phone out of Harry's hands putting it to her head

"Draco?" She asked  "Is Hermione okay? What about Darcy?" She listened to him speak before passing the phone to Harry, "Here. It's for you"

"Who would have thought?" he asked before going back on to the line. "Malfoy."

"I need a favour."

"From me?" Harry was astonished. This was a complete turn around from their usual interaction

"Couldn't think of anyone else." So he was the first choice? Draco Malfoy was in trouble and he calls me to help? 

"What do you need?" He asked 

"Immunity, a pardon whatever you want to call it," Draco responded as casually as if he wanted him to run a small errand.

"I beg your pardon?" Harry was on his feet now, "What the hell do you need that for?" 

"I'm about to do several things that would be considered illegal. I need a backup. I'm not about to go running for my life forever." 

"And you come to me? You want to do something illegal and possibly dangerous from the sound of it and you call me?" 

"Wouldn't be the first time you did something of this magnitude now, would it? Aren't you experienced? A professional?"

"I'm going to murder Hermione." Harry sighed and closed his eyes 

"You'll have the wait until she's back in the country to put her on death row."  

"I don't even want to know what that means." Harry sighed. "Which jurisdiction are you going to commit said acts?"

"Bulgaria."

"What the hell are you doing there?" Harry's hands were on his hips.

"Krum."

Harry was alert now.  His eyes widened and his free hand dropped to his side "Viktor Krum?"

"Now I've got your attention eh?" Draco chuckled

"He's been in Bulgaria all this time?" 

"He's there right now at least."

"How do you know?" 

"A magician never reveals his secrets. You can trust me. On Hermione's life." Draco swore

 "Where are you now?"

"You're coming then?" Draco was surprised at his immediate agreement. He should have mentioned Krum from the get-go, "I'm en route to Burgas. should be there by tomorrow evening."

"Black Sea?" Harry had the map and boundaries of Bulgaria ingrained in his memory. Krum was a wanted man. 

"Yup. Major import and export happen on these ends. He's monopolized everything here."
