What Words Can Do (TOMARRY)

Year 6 ∆ Part 2

"Well, Potter," someone spoke up from the door, "I'm surprised you're not locked up in Azkaban for dating Tom Riddle." Harry turned his head toward the voice. There stood Draco Malfoy.

"Not right now, Malfoy," Harry snarled. "I know what you did."

"What are you gonna do about it?" Draco smirked. "It's not like you're little boyfriend can come save you."

Harry had to fight back the urge to admit that Tom wasn't even in Azkaban anymore. "Maybe not," Harry finally said, "but I can stick up for myself."

Before Draco could respond, Harry stood up and punched him square in the nose. Draco stumbled back, holding his nose. "You don't know who you're messing with, Potter."

"I know who I'm messing with. I'm messing with a blond prat who doesn't know how to stay out of other people's relationships. I know you were the one who turned Tom into the ministry. And I know that your father is a death eater. I know that you're scared of your father. That's the only reason why you did it. Because you're a coward."

"I'm not a coward, Potter," Draco said lowly. "I'm just doing what I had to do. Something you should understand given how much you love saving the world."

Harry punched Draco again. Professor Snape happened to walk by as this was happening and came up to them. "Potter! What is the meaning of this?"

"He turned Tom into the Ministry," Harry glared at both of the men in front of him. "He deserved it."

"He most certainly did not!" Snape yelled. "You, Potter, have managed to get yourself three months of detention before the year even started." With that, Snape walked Draco away, leaving Harry to sit back down, grumbling angrily.

Short chapter, I know. But annaprinsloo was the first one to guess who turned in Tom. So as promised, here's your mention and thank you for reading!
