Love Conquers everything

chapter 4

Harry sighed as he watched the scenery pass by. He was sitting on the Hogwarts Express on his way back to the castle. He had not seen any of his 'friends' so he had gotten himself a compartment and waited.

A knock on the door made him turn his head. Draco opened and said loudly just to make sure no one would suspect anything:

"Well, what do we have here? Hello Potter."

"We who?" Harry replied, used to the charade they put on.

The blonde quickly cast a charm that made all listeners confused. He closed the door quickly and said:

"I don't have much time. Alright, we got a plan, and you just need to say it's okay."

"Shoot."

-o-

Neville was desperate to find Harry. He could not stand being ridiculed by everyone, and the raven-haired teen was always so nice to him. The Weasley twins were nice to him as well, but their dad had just died so he didn't want to bother them.

A door opened and the Malfoy came out. Neville froze. The teen looked over at him and did nothing. He turned back to look into the compartment and to Neville's surprise he said:

"I'll see you later, Harry. Longbottom is outside; should I Oblivate him?"

"No", came Harry's voice.

"Why not?"

"I want to speak to him first."

The blonde sighed but moved aside a bit. A moment later the raven-haired teen poked his head out.

"Hi, Nev", Harry said. "Want me to explain all of this?"

"Yeah", the clumsy teen said, blinking. "I'm a bit confused."

"Alright then", the emerald-eyed teen said. "Think over it, Draco, and take that to Sev."

"Will do", Draco said and saluted. He then sprinted down the corridor, the best he could in a train, and disappeared.

"Are you coming in? It'll take a while to explain", the teen said to Neville.

-o-

"Wow…"

"Wow?"

"Yeah, wow", Neville said. "This is a bit too much."

"Want me to Oblivate you and we'll just continue talking Quidditch?" Harry asked.

"No! I want you to trust me enough to let me keep this information!"

"So… you're not angry?"

"No", the teen said softly. "Confused like hell, but not angry. I maybe need proof to believe it, but one question first…"

"Fire away."

"Did Dumbledore know about you being sexually abused?"

"Probably", the raven-haired teen said.

"How could he not act?"
