Chapter 8: The Plan

Draco's P.O.V.

Today was the day. At 6am I snuck into Harry's room. Slowly I put the Invisibility cloak on him and I carried him. No one was up yet so I cautiously walked to the door. And then I went out. Trying to carry Harry was hard. He was heavy. But I persisted. After I just left the security dome placed on Malfoy Manor I disapperated to The Burrow where the Weasley's lived. I knocked on their door 3 times until I got an answer from Mrs Weasley who was wearing her nightgown. "What are YOU doing-" She started. But I had just pulled the Invisibility Cloak off Harry. Mrs Weasley let out a scream and yelled "OH MY GOD HARRY!" She let me inside and I placed Harry on the couch. Then I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. It was Ginny. She asked "Did someone just say Harry?!" Then she spotted me. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU FILTHY LITT-" She had stopped. Her eyes drifted to Harry's unconscious body lying on the couch. Ginny whimpered and tears were falling off her face. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM" she screamed. "I-it wasn't me. It was the Death Eaters. He has been shot by the Cruciatus Curse many times. I only could save him today because it was my turn to torture him but I didn't so I rescued him instead" I explained. Both Ginny and Mrs Weasley were shocked. More footsteps echoed throughout the house. Soon everyone was in the Living Room. Everyone was staring from me to the unconscious Harry. Mrs Weasley explained what had happened. Ron took a step towards me and held out his hand. "I never thought I would befriend you Malfoy." I shook his hand and Hermione's. Then I noticed Ginny crying into Harry's chest. I looked at Ron and Hermione for answers. "Ginny's emotionally involved with Harry," Hermione said quickly. By emotionally involved I knew she meant they were dating. "OK We need to get Harry to St Mungos NOW!" Mr Weasley demanded and everyone left.

Harry's P.O.V.

I woke up to find myself in a plain white room. It was blinding me. I tried to sit up but I was in too much pain to do it. Then I noticed Ginny sitting next to me. "HARRY!" she cried "You're awake!" "What is going on?" I questioned. "Malfoy rescued you. We brought you here" she said "I missed you so much Harry. I hoped you were alright!" I was about to say something back but she had already kissed me on the lips. When we stopped Ginny said "Mum, Dad and the rest plus Hermione are coming soon." "I want to speak to Malfoy," I insisted "Do you know where he is?" "Yes and also the Death Eaters have been caught!" "Thank god can I speak to Malfoy?" I questioned. "I could ask Dad to ask" Ginny said, leaning over me "how are you feeling?" "I'm sore" I replied "I can't sit up." "Well at least you're still a-alive" Ginny said quietly and she bent over and crushed her lips onto mine. At that moment the whole Weasley family had entered the room. No one said anything and Ginny didn't stop snogging me. I noticed that Ron was having a hard time controlling himself. Finally he burst out "OK THE FIRST THING I SEE WHEN HARRY IS AWAKE IS MY SISTER SNOGGING HIM!" "RONALD! Stop!" Hermione yelled. Ginny's lips left mine and we both turned to look at Ron. He was red and panting. Ginny stood up and retorted "SO WHAT! I HAVEN'T SEEN HARRY FOR DAYS! I'VE BEEN WORRIED OUT OF MY MIND WHETHER HE'S ALIVE! YOU TRY THAT WITH HERMIONE NEXT TIME!" Ron looked terrified and Hermione was giving Ron glares. The rest of the family were speechless. Mrs Weasley walked over to me and said "How are you feeling?" "Sore" I answered. "Well that's normal since you've been hit by the Cruciatus Curse around 50 times" Mr Weasley stated. I didn't answer. Soon everyone was crowding around me asking about the Death Eater and bla, bla, bla... The elder Weasley's left after 20 minutes but Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Mr and Mrs Weasley stayed. "Can I talk to Draco?" I begged. "Yes I'll go and find him" Mr Weasley replied. Mrs Weasley followed Mr Weasley and left the room. "Well sorry about earlier" Ron said quietly. "It's fine," I replied, closing my eyes. "Are you alright Harry?" Hermione asked. I nodded and said "Just tired!" The door opened and I saw Draco walking in. "Hey P-Harry," Draco said nodding to me. "Hi. One question, why did you save me?" "Well I guess you did save my life twice. It's a way of thanking you. By the way I'm sorry for how I treated you 3. Well 4" Draco said nodding to Ginny "It was my dad. He made me believe everything. In my 6th year I realized it was wrong but I had to do what Voldermort made me do cause I was scared of dying." "Oh well then I forgive you" I answered. Draco looked at me shocked. "I never realised you would give in so fast." "It's called saving someone's life," Ron said. "I guess." But I didn't hear any more because I had fell asleep.
