Two Paths, One Fate (Drarry fanfiction)

A Party and a Plan

Harry's P.O.V

It was the day of the party. I had pretty dull lessons today. I was slightly excited about Professor Slughorn's 'New years' party.
I had obviously asked Ginny to accompany me as my date. She had been counting down every minute before I asked her. She seemed quite happy when I eventually went up to her.
The party was at night. I had free time until then.
Once I decided what to wear, I began to make a plan.
I had waited, conspired and dreamed about how and when I would do this.

I got the Elder wand safely out of my trunk. I needed this wand to be mine. Personally, I didn't really know why I so desperately wanted the wand to truly be mine but I did.
I just felt like after all I've done, that I deserve the Elder wand.
It should not be allegient to someone else. Especially not somebody who was a death eater. 

After Slughorn's party, it would be late. I'd have to have my invisibility cloak and then rush to the Slytherin dormitory.
Once there, I will leave the Elder wand along with a note beside Draco's bed, telling him that it is his to use now.
Inevitably, he will be confused. But I am almost certain that he would not be able to resist it and will probably use it.
Once he starts using it, maybe the next day, I will catch him off guard, and then I will disarm him so that the Elder wand can truly be mine.
I guess this is not a very elaborate plan, but it will do.

For now, I began to change into my formal clothes for the party.
It was nearly time to leave. I head into the common room and met Ginny there.
She looked quite pretty, wearing a bright red dress and high heels. The colour looked quite good on her. Her hair looked different as well. They seemed more curly which is probably what she had done to them.
I got this out of my head and we walked together to the party.
Neither Ron nor Hermione were invited to the party as they did not have Slughorn for potions. Oh well.

Ginny took my arm and we walked into the buzzing party. Quite a few people were already there. People were carrying around tempting snacks and drinks which I tried.
More people began to come. I spotted Malfoy come in with Pansy. She looked quite happy yet Draco seemed like he had been imprisoned. I felt a bit sorry for him.
Ginny then tugged me away as she called me to dance with her. After grudgingly dancing for a short while, Slughorn called me over for a Slug Club group photo.

It was very bright and flashy at the party.  I had been getting a bit tired. I just kept on trying more of the fizzing drinks that the waiters were offering to keep me going.
I then began to spend some time engaging with others in conversations. Professor Slughorn seemed content that his party was quite successful.
Just when I began to get a bit bored, as if on cue, Slughorn announced the party to be over as we were already 'way past our curfew'.
Some students groaned in sadness yet some sighed with relief.
We all crowded out of the room into the hallway. 
I looked at Ginny guiltily.
"What?" She said, nervously.
"Sorry Ginny, but I gotta go." I said, before running down the hallway towards the dormitories.
She called after me yet I continued running.

I quickly went inside the dormitory and grabbed my Invisibility cloak.
As I snuck back out, I saw Ron and Hermione sitting at a table in the form room. Most other Gryffindors who had not gone to the party, where asleep. 
I walked off into the hallway, with the Elder wand in my hand. I had already written a note for Malfoy.
As I was in the hallway, under the cloak, I saw Ginny, looking quite dazed, wandering towards the common room. I felt slightly guilty, but I had a plan to pursue.
I knew where the entrance to the Slytherin dormitory was but I did not know the password.
Luckily, I spotted a few Slytherin stragglers from the party and followed him.
"Sizzle Snap Snout." She announced and the door opened to reveal the common room. The Slytherin girl and her two friends walked in.

'The passwords seem to be getting worst every time' I chuckled to myself.
I quickly walked in along with them.

Not much had changed. It was pretty much what I expected.
Same old Green decorations and wallpaper along with some silver furnishings.
The Slytherins dorms were quite a cold place at times, down in the dungeons.

I reminded myself of the task and walked up the stairs to where the boys' beds were.
Most of them were fast asleep. It was very dimly lit up here.
I breathed heavily under my invisibility cloak and then I spotted a bed in the near corner.
Draco sat in it, half-awake. He seemed to be drawing in some book. He looked very drowsy.

Very carefully, I tip-toed over to his bedside. I carefully placed the Elder wand along with the note onto his bedside desk, hoping that he will use it.  He did not seem to notice. I tried hard not to laugh, looking at his ruffled blonde hair. I then very carefully snuck out of the dormitories and hurried back to the Gryffindor dormitory.

Draco's P.O.V

The party had been alright today, I guess.
Pansy had been looking at me for the past two days, hoping that I asked her out to the party.
Having no one else to accompany me, I asked her.
She seemed surprised and happy yet she had obviously expected me to ask her.
When I came back, I was very tired. I collapsed onto my bed yet I decided to write and draw some more into into my diary.
Half awake, I heard a bit of noise beside my bed. I looked around but nobody was here.
Shortly after, I managed to hide my diary where I normally do, and I fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
