'How are we going to tell them?' Draco asked as they slowly made their way back to the library.
Harry shook his head, looking in front of him with blank eyes.
'Harry?' Draco said.
'Potter!'
Harry looked over to Draco.
'I don't know.' he said quietly.
'Fred's dead, this is not possible.' Harry said.
'Can't it be polyjuice potion?' Draco asked.
'Polyjuice potion doesn't last for four days!' Harry said.
'And it takes one month to make that stuff.' Harry said.
'So?' Draco asked.
'It can't be polyjuice potion Draco!' Harry snapped.
'Potter! How do you explain the guy who looks so much like George?' Draco asked.
'It's Fred!' Harry said.
'I'm sorry to break it to you Potter, but Fred is dead! He's been dead for over a year!' Draco said.
He grabbed Harry's arm and stopped him.
'Think Potter, think, that's not possible!' Draco said.
'It was polyjuice potion, I'm telling you. They captured George first. They took his hair and took some more with them so they could make more. To let Hermione think it was Fred.' Draco said.
Harry shook his head.
'Stop shaking your head for Merlin's sake!' Draco said frustrated.
'It was Fred!' Harry said.
'It was polyjuice potion!' Draco said.
'No, I mean the person was Fred. There are a few small differences between George and Fred and that was definitely Fred.' Harry said looking at his shoes.
'What differences?' Draco asked.
'Well for one thing, George lost his left ear.' Harry said.
'That guy still had his left ear.' Harry told him.
'Maybe it was a pre earless George?' Draco suggested.
'Draco, you know that's nonsense and not possible.' Harry said calmly.
'And the fact that his brother is walking around on this earth even though he's supposed to be dead is not nonsense?' Draco said.
Harry pushed his glasses back up his nose.
'I don't know.' Harry said.
'How do you explain Fred in that room?' Harry asked.
Draco shook his head.
'I don't know.' he sighed.
'What are we going to tell the others?' Draco asked.
'We'll tell them what we saw.' Harry said.
'Are you sure about that? Because that means we're going to tell Ginny and Ron that their brother has somehow raised from his grave.' Draco said.
Harry frowned and swallowed at the thought of the funeral he had attended.
'What did you want to tell them?' Harry asked.
Draco shrugged, leaning against the wall of the corridor, resting his head against it and looking up at the ceiling.
'I don't know.' Draco said.
'The only thing we could see was darkness and then a room.' Draco shrugged.
'We don't get anywhere with that, now do we?' Draco asked.
Harry shook his head.
'We're stuck.' Harry said.
Draco nodded.
'And there is no time for that.' Draco said.
Harry shook his head again.
'What do we do now?' Harry asked.
Draco looked at him.
'I have honestly no idea.' Draco sighed.
'Do you think we should tell McGonagall?' Harry asked.
Draco raised his eyebrows.
'If you want her to think you've gone mad, yes, you should tell her.' Draco said.
'I'm just trying to figure out how to go on from this point!' Harry said.
'I'm sorry, I know.' Draco sighed.
'We're all frustrated.' Harry said.
A small group of Gryffindor girls passed the two of them, chattering cheerfully.
'Hey Harry.' Katie Bell said all of a sudden.
'Hey Katie.' Harry smiled.
'How are you?' she asked.
'Could be better, you?'
'I'm fine.' she smiled.
'Where are you all going?' Harry asked.
'To the Great Hall for dinner.' Katie said.
'Is it already time for dinner?' Harry asked.
Katie nodded.
'I'm sorry to hear about Hermione.' Katie said looking at Draco for a few seconds.
'We are too.' Harry sighed brushing his hand through his hair.
'Do they already know more?' Katie asked.
'Nope.' Draco shook his head.
'That's horrible.' Katie said.
'Let me know if I can do anything.' Katie said giving both of them a small smile.
'Thank you Katie.' Draco said.
She gave him a quick nod and smile before turning around and heading to the Great Hall.
'What about we get ourselves some dinner?' Harry asked.
Draco nodded.
'Sounds like a plan.' Draco said as he pushed himself away from the wall.
'We'll figure out what to tell everyone after dinner.' Harry said.
'And if they ask?' Draco asked.
'Just tell them we didn't get anywhere.' Harry said.
Draco nodded as they walked up to the Great Hall.
'Hey.' Ginny said as they sat down.
To Draco's surprise Blaise was sitting at the Gryffindor table next to Ron.
'Hi.' Blaise said as Draco sat down next to him.
'Hey.' Draco said.
'No offence, but what are you doing here?' Draco asked.
Blaise shrugged.
'I was wondering why you always sat here, but now I get it!' Blaise said.
'Tell me.' Draco said, not knowing in what kind of direction Blaise was going.
'The view obviously!' Blaise said.
'When you sit here you can stare at me all you want without anyone noticing.' Blaise said.
Draco laughed.
'And why would I go sit all the way over here to stare at you? Wouldn't it be easier to see you over there?' Draco questioned.
'But when I'm sitting right across from you or next to you people will notice you staring at me, so this is a safe distance to do that.' Blaise explained with a serious face.
'Looks like someone has experience.' Ginny said who had heard the whole conversation.
'Well obviously! I have to keep an eye on my Drakie here before he dares to ask Hermione again for another dance instead of me!' Blaise said.
'Get over it already.' Draco said.
'No! No I won't! And I never will!' Blaise said overdramatic.
Harry, Ginny, Ron, Neville, Seamus and Dean who had drawn their attention to the both of them started laughing.
'Dammit guys! I'm serious!' Blaise said fake sobbing.
'It'll be alright, I'll take you next time.' Draco said, patting his best friend's shoulder.
Blaise nodded, drying his invisible tears with the back of his hand.
'You better be.' he said sternly.
Draco shook his head chuckling before getting some mashed potatoes on his plate.
'Have you guys discovered anything yet in his head?' Ginny asked.
Draco and Harry exchanged a quick look before Harry said 'No, nothing so far.'
'We'll get there, don't worry.' Ginny said giving her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek.
Harry looked up at Draco, who shook his head.
'Don't you dare!' Draco mouthed.
Harry rolled his eyes.
'Hey mate what is it like? Someone letting you inside your head?' Blaise asked.
Draco shrugged.
'Annoying when it comes to the memories I'd rather not share.' Draco said.
Blaise laughed.
'Obviously.' Blaise said.
'It's strange though. You get to see flashes of your memories and it mostly are just seconds.' Draco said.
'That's probably because Harry's looking for something particular.' Blaise said.
Draco nodded.
'I guess.' Draco said.
'Good thing that you came across that spell though.' Draco said.
Blaise smiled and nodded.
'Now we only have to hope you two find something in there.' Blaise said.
Draco nodded slightly before turning back to his food.
'But I can't do anything about it! It's just my amazingness that does the work.' Blaise said.
'Oh you and your huge ego.' Draco said.
'Nothing wrong with a big ego.' Blaise said.
'A big one? No. A huge one, like you have? Perhaps.' Draco said.
Blaise smirked.'So what are we going to do?' Draco asked.
'I haven't figured it out yet.' Harry said.
'We've got to come up with something otherwise they'll start to become suspicious.' Draco said.
'Tell me something I don't know.' Harry sighed.
'I think it's best if we just tell the truth.' Harry said.
'But we don't even know what the truth is!' Draco said.
'The truth of what we saw, without giving our opinions. Just the fact that we saw a guy that looks like George, as in an exact copy only this one didn't miss an ear.' Harry said.
'Hmm.'
'What hmm?' Harry said.
'We won't be having a better idea, now will we?' Draco asked.
'I don't think so.' Harry shook his head.
'Let's go for it then.' Draco said.
Harry nodded.
'Ready to do this?' Draco asked.
'Let's just get it over with.' Harry sighed as they started to make their way to the library.
When they walked in and passed the bookshelves on their way to the table where most of them were looking in books, Ginny came walking out of her aisle just like Neville did out of his.
'Got anything?' Ginny asked, joining Harry and Draco on their way over to the table.
Harry nodded without looking back at her. They stopped in front of their friends and waited until Ginny and Neville had sat down before they started to talk.
'We've found something.' Draco started.
'But we are not sure if it's useful and if it's reliable.' Harry said.
'Just know that we don't know where Hermione is, only that she's in a room with stone walls and a stone floor and there is no light in the room, the only moment she does have light is when the door opened.' Draco told everyone and then Harry and himself started to tell what they had seen, telling them every single detail.
Everyone listened carefully, sometimes looking at them with widened eyes and disbelieving looks.
'But we don't know who the guy is.' Draco ended.
Ginny and Ron looked at them with no other expression on their face apart from disbelieve.
'That can't be.' Ginny whispered.
'That's not possible.' Ron breathed.
'We know.' Draco said.
'That's why I think it was polyjuice potion.' Draco said.
'That's not possible. It takes you... how long to make polyjuice potion?' Ron asked.
'A month.' Blaise said.
'It takes a month to make polyjuice potion and it doesn't last for four days!' Ron said.
'My theory is; they captured George first. They took his hair and took some more with them so they could make more. To let Hermione think it was Fred.' Draco said.
'Unless....' Seamus said.
Everyone turned to Seamus.
'Hermione's dead and she's in heaven with Fred? And that's what you saw?' Seamus said.
Books were thrown at him from Neville, Dean and Blaise as Ginny, Harry, Ron and Draco gave him a deadly glare.
'Ouch.' Seamus groaned as a book hit him right in the face.
'I don't know Draco.' Ginny said ignoring Seamus.
'I mean if it was the work of poly juice potion, shouldn't the guy miss one of his ears?' Ginny said.
'That's what I said.' Harry exclaimed.
'But it's not possible for someone to come back from death!' Blaise said.
'Unless....' Ron said.
'What?'
Ron looked over at Harry.
'Unless someone has the resurrection stone.' Ron said.
'It doesn't work like that.' Harry said.
'Well then I have literally no bloody idea how this could even be real.' Ron said.
'Maybe you didn't get good flashes? Maybe Hermione dreamt it?' Ginny suggested.
Draco shook his head.
'This can't be possible, Fred's- Fred's not- Fred's gone, it can't be him.' Ginny said.A/N:
heyy dolls,
oh dear oh dear, their bromance..... how will we call them? Blaco? Draise? Goodness ;p
So lately I've been really insecure about my writing, everytime I put up a chapter I've got this anxiety that it's not good enough and that my writing skills are bad etc. It's really annoying but I can't help it and I wish I could :/ I'm just hoping all of you like the story and can see through the stupid mistakes that I make (because I know for sure there are a few, especially if I've written when I was tired) So sorry for that btw! And for the annoying mistakes in the previous chapters! That all of you read further after those first chapters with all those mistakes, I don't even know if I would've been able to read further :/ I really need to edit everything, but I'm just so busy with school already and I'm just going to start the second week :/
I'm sorry for this kind of depressing A/N
Okay lets go on with the fun stuff! The weekly question to get to know all of you a little better ;)
I saw that quite some people had answered my last week question! Thank you for doing that and here's the next; do you have pets? And if yes what pet do you have? ;pLots of love
