Draco was leaning over Harry with a frown etched on his face.

"Harry what where you thinking?!" He demanded. It was then that Harry realized Draco's eyes were white. He quickly rubbed Draco's wet and cold arm with his free hand.

"I am sorry Draco-" Draco pulled Harry up with a glare.

"What were you thinking?! You act strange for days on end, you sneak around often, I find you conspiring with Professor Snape and the twins, no surprise there, but I follow you to find you throw yourself into a lake in the middle of the bloody winter??" Draco yelled, causing Harry to flinch. Draco realized how he was scaring Harry and forced himself to calm down.

"....Why. Why will you not tell me what is going on with you." Draco asked abit calmer but firm. Harry bit his lip.

"...I didn't want to worry you-"

"BullHog." Draco cut Harry off. Snape came over and put a hand on Draco's shoulder.

"I told him not to tell you." He said. Draco growled and glared at Snape.

"Why?!" He hissed. Snape quickly removed his hand.

"...Because it was not necessary for you to." Draco hissed and got up defensively.

"I am his mate! His business is my business, especially if it puts him in danger!" Draco growled as his wings came out. Harry grabbed onto Draco's wrist.

"Draco-"

"NO! I want answers!" Draco roared. Snape held his hands up before he continued to speak, showing he was not a danger.

"If you calm down Draco, we may speak." Snape said carefully. Draco looked at Snape fiercely with his white eyes, then back to Harry who was still sitting on the ground.

".....very well." Draco said, closing his eyes and pulled his wings back in. He opened his eyes to show them their original color came back.

"Speak."

After thirty minutes, Snape and Harry informed Draco on everything that has happened. The dreams, visions, people, everything. The twins threw in their part of the story every now and then. Draco had a deep frown on his face by the end of the story.

"And that is why I went into the lake and what I saw." Harry finished. Draco sighed, leaning his head onto Harry's shoulder.

"So this red diamond necklace belongs to Professor Croft?" Draco asked, gesturing to the necklace. Harry nodded.

"Yes, question is what to do with it." Harry said. Snape reached over and took the necklace.

"I say we inform Professor Dumbledore, maybe he'll keep it as a memento of his dear friend." Snape said.

"I say we find Professor Croft's room and see what is left there. There are still so many questions that were left unanswered." Harry said exasperated. 

"What else is there to say Harry? Rimplestein decided to work with he who must not be named and killed Croft, then tried to get rid of the evidence and tossed her into the lake." Fred said sighing.

"No, there is more to the story, I know it!" Harry cried out. 

"Like what Harry?" George asked.

"I don't know! But there has to be! He was crying when he left her body in the water." Harry said with tears falling. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry.

"Alright Harry, Alright, we will go talk to the professor first, okay?" Draco said gently as he ran his fingers through Harry's hair. Harry looked up at Draco with a smile and nodded. Snape rolled his eyes and put the necklace in his pocket.

"Very well." He said as he lead the boys back to Hogwarts. 

Dumbledore heard a knocking on his office door and waved his hand, opening the passageway. He was greeted by the sights of one of his favorite teachers and students. He smiled and gestured for them to come in.

"It is good to see you my boy." Dumbledore said to Snape. Snape nodded.

"Albus, Harry and I-"

"And us!" The twins said in unison.

"...Yes, and them, stumbled across something we believe you might appreciate." Snape said taking out the necklace from his pocket. Dumbledore's eyes changed from glee to shock and finally sorrow.

"How- Where did you get this?" Dumbledore asked, his eyes never leaving the necklace.

"We found it in a lake sir." Harry said. Dumbledore finally ripped his eyes from the necklace in Snape's hand to look at Harry.

"My boy, do you know what this is?" He asked as he stood up to come around his desk.

"I do sir." Harry said firmly with a nod. Dumbledore hesitantly takes the necklace from Snape, studying every detail.

"......This is the key to Madeline Croft's Secret room." Dumbledore said, a tear fell from his eye.

"Sir..." The twins said in unison softly. Dumbledore seemed to be in memory lane as he looked at the red diamond in his hand.

".......Come my friends, you deserve to know of her room after all the trouble she caused." Albus said as he headed to the door.

Harry, Draco, Snape, and the twins followed behind Albus out of his office and down the hall.

"Where exactly are we going sir?" Harry asked.

"To her secret room of course."
