Blood Red, Snow White | Dramione ✔

2. The Hunt

Harry returned to sirius' room one last time before leaving. He sighed and looked around. Nothing had changed yet everything had changed. Just when he was about to turn the door handle, he saw a piece of parchment on the desk with a galleon sitting next to it. He frowned and picked up the parchment. It said,

Keep in touch with me and
keep me informed of your location
at all times.
-DM

Harry smiled. He, Draco and Ron had become good friends over the summer.

Although Hermione had just joined them a week before she was abducted from diagon alley,  she and Draco had become somewhat of allies.

Harry chuckled softly, remembering the time when Hermione first saw Draco Malfoy at the Headquarters.

"Harry !! Harry !!!!! ", she screamed over her lungs. "Hermione! !!", he exclaimed, oblivious to why she was so angry and confused. He rushed forward to hug her but came to an abrupt stop as he saw where she was standing, more like on whose face she was glaring daggers at. Draco Malfoy's.

"Um Hermione", he began nervously. "Draco is now a part of the order. He's one of us and we all trust him, completely"

Hermione stared at him with her mouth hung open. "What. How. Harry James Potter ! Answer me!!", she all but shouted.

"We wanted to tell you but you asked us not to send any owls and Mr Weasley's 'pheletone' wasn't working.. so yeah. " , he said sheepishly.

Hermione stared at him and then burst out laughing and when she finally stopped, she turned to Draco and held out her hand. "Hermione Granger", she said with a smile.

"I really hope you're okay Hermione", he whispered before leaving.

Knock knock knock

Draco woke up, groaning he reached for the door.

"Draco Malfoy you better open this door this instant before I bl-"

"What the actual fuck, Pansy!?"

"Language, Malfoy" she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Get in or get out"

She pushed past him and entered.

"Draco" she sighed sitting on the bed, she crossed her legs underneath herself. "You shouldn't have come"

"And why do you say that?" he asked, sitting next to her.

"You know it's not easy for us to take a life, but it's a lot easier than to torture someone. We tried to keep an eye on the death eaters for an slip up regarding Granger but I don't think she was even kidnapped by death eaters."

Draco huffed and got up. Standing near the window, he asked, "Where are the other 3?"

"They're on a mission"

"Oh" was all he could say. He knew what Voldermort's mission consisted of.  Murder and Torture. He shuddered at the thought and headed towards the garden.

"Hey, Ron, be ready. Umbridge is coming."

"Ready toad"

"Stupefy"

"GET THE LOCKET HARRY. HURRY ! DEATH EATERS"

But it was too late. 5 death eaters flew towards them at once.

"Petrificus Totalus", Harry shouted.

"Stupefy"

"Protego"

"Expelliarmus"

"Crucio"

Harry blocked the cruciatus with Umridge's unconscious form.

After a series of curses and shields, 3 death eaters lay on the floor unconscious while the other 2 dodged every curse that was sent their way.

One of the death eaters stupified the other and took off his mask.

Harry watched as the death eater removed his mask and he never thought he'd ever be so happy to see Draco Malfoy. 

"What did I ask of you Potter!?, I think I made it very clear that I have to know about your whereabouts !"

"Well hello to you too, Malfoy", said Ron, grinning.

"How was I supposed to contact you Malfoy. You left me nothing but a piece of parchment and a galleon which, by the way, I didn't need but I still kept it."

"Well you're right. I should've made myself clear considering the two idiots I was leaving it up to", he said, sneering.

"Get to the point Draco"

"Well, it has the protean ch-"

"The one that Hermione used for DA meetings? "

"Yes the very same", said Draco a little distractedly.

This, however, did not go unnoticed by Harry, or Ron.  They both gave each other knowing looks.

"It was good to see you Draco. Stay safe", said Harry before disapparating with Ron.

Draco looked around and then turned to the death eater he had stupified and whispered "Obliviate".

"My Lord,  these four reached before me and were unable to capture Potter.
By the time I arrived, they were all unconscious and there was no sign of Potter."

"Very well Draco.  You may leave"

Draco needn't be told twice and left at once. He knew what was coming and he wasn't ready for nightmares again.
