Angel In My Eyes

Chapter 20 "We found love in a hopeless place"

"Veritaserum?!" Draco shouted standing up from his chair while the three Aurors were sitting on the table infront of him. "There is no fucking way." He said with a nervous laugh.

"It's not a question Malfoy." Potter explained. "You are gonna take the potion whether you like it or not. The only thing that you can decide for yourself is if you want to take it here or in the Ministry."

"I am not taking veritaserum, Potter." He paused and closed his eyes for a second then made eye contact with the wizard again. "You said that you trust me, what's this about?"

"We can't solve this case based on your trust. You are a smart man you can understand that this is ridiculous. And after all, Malfoy, you are a murderer. " Harry answered, his voice harsh and serious. "You would be in Azkaban right now paying for everything you've done if it wasn't for your rich ass parents. This world is so unfair Malfoy, you had it easy all these years but now your parents aren't here to protect you and you are not a twelve year old anymore. You are a grown man so better act like one, for your own good, if you wanna be someone before you find yourself dead."

Draco was trying hard to keep it all together but every word, every letter that Potter had let out of his mouth just seconds ago were screaming at him. He made his palms into fists, an action that didn't go unnoticed by the only witch in the room, she let out a silent sigh of fear at the sight of the pale boy.

"You have no idea what you just did." Draco said, still holding Potter's gaze. "No fucking idea Potter." Harry tried to talk but he cut it quickly. "I'm out of here, I don't know why I came in the first place so please Potter, tell me, are you gonna arrest me? Kill me? Give me the kiss? What? Do you want me to take that stupid potion of yours? Do you? Do you want me to stand here and confess that I killed my mother so you can be over with the one serious case that you've ever gotten in your entire life so you can go at the park with your happy Gryffindors friends? Just tell me and I'll do it, I'll tell you how I did it, why, when, who helped me, everything you need to know so you can call this case closed."

"Wha-" Harry tried.

Draco smirked, relaxing his fists. "Go fuck yourself Potter. I'm going to pack my things so we can go to the Ministry, I'll be down in 10 minutes." He started walking away, "Don't make me wait."

There were some seconds of complete silence as the Slytherin was leaving the room. The other three wizards were exchanging glances between Malfoy and one another until Harry decided to focus on Draco.

"Did you do it?" Harry spat as soon as the other boy reached the door.

The Slytherin gazed at him over his shoulder. "I guess you'll have to find out." He said before exiting the room.

"What was that about?" Ron questioned the minute Draco had left the room.

Harry sighed, "I have no idea."

"So? Are we going to the Ministry?"

"I mean there is nothing else we can do so."

"They are going to take the case you know that." Hermione spoke for the first time looking at Harry. "You had the case for over two months and we have made no proccess, as soon as Malfoy is there, the case is gone."

Ron gave her a confused look. "You can't be that sure about that."

"I can Ron. I know how the Ministry works, their first priority is to keep it clean and give people the answers they want to hear, that's why nobody knows about Narcissa's murder or Malfoy living in the order. They would go crazy. The Ministry wants a good story, especially for such a case, they are the Malfoys don't forget about that, probably the most hated family in London. People will be happy that Narcissa is dead and you know that."
