Growing Love

Searching I

Much as expected. The school was raided by death eaters. It was Ronald Weasley who had gotten them in. Since receiving the letters Draco told the group he would be taking care of Harry until the coast was clear. Or AKA school was over. That night they packed a giant hamper for Draco. Since he wouldn't tell them where his spot was. They agreed that they wouldn't come out of hiding for anything.

Two days later the raid happened. Dumbledore, as big and powerful as he was, did nothing. He figured since he was the one who informed Voldemort about Harry's predicament he was safe. How very wrong he was.

Snape was taken a long with the group of 6. Voldemort himself showed up to confront Dumbledore. When Dumbledore couldn't give him answers Voldemort pushed the man over the edge of the Astronomy tower. Slughorn, seeing as he wasn't associated with the others, was left to his own devices. Which was making Harry's potion since Snape could no longer do that.

The 4 Gryffindors and 3 Slytherins were tied up in the Chamber of Secrets where Voldemort proceeded to vigorously torture them. Soon all their barriers were broken and Voldemort used Legilimency on them.

"Draco really? Can you stop acting like a sex deprived teenager whenever you see Potter."

"Sod off Pansy." Draco growled and climbed a tree.

"Mate what's the point of this?"

"To get his attention Blaise. Now move." Draco rolled his eyes and got comfortable.

I spotted Potter walking through the crowd with his head down. When he got close Draco yelled.

"Potter!" Harry looked up. "My father and I made a bet you see..."

~~~

"I think you were right Pansy."

"Dray?" I looked up from my book.

Draco sat down next to me. "Harry being like this. So small and happy. It made me realize you were right. I am in love with him. The older him. I hate my father for what he makes me do."

~~~

"I'm taking care of him. My mom is gone. There's really nothing they have that will draw me out. And no one knows my spot."

"But Dray..."

"Pansy my mom was right. Harry is what matters. I can't let another person I love die at the hands of that foul man. I'm taking Harry." Draco snapped.

"He's right. Three of us know where Blaise has been staying with him. It's not safe if we get captured."

"Thank you Hermione. I'm taking him tonight." Draco nodded as he rocked a sleeping Harry.

~~~

"At least he won't find anything guys. No matter how much we are tortured." I said.

Voldemort stepped back and growled. He slapped Pansy across the face. Blaise struggled against his bindings.

"You next mudblood." Voldemort hissed.

Blaise struggled more. "Leave her alone!"

*~*

"Ignore him Harry he's just looking to get under your skin." I yelled.

Harry huffed and walked away.

"Drama queen that one."

"Oh shut up Ronald." I followed Harry.
