Dracos Pov

Fuck. FUCK. I pick up the lamp and throw it at the wall. I whirl around and swipe everything off my dresser. She can't come here or she'll hurt herself and me.

I have to respond though.

But then I'll end up telling her everything. I sink down to the floor, exhausted. I haven't gotten any sleep this past month or so.

Fuck.

Lex.

You need to come.

It's the right thing to do, but i fucking hate it.

Deatheaters are here every second of every day, so we need to plan this carefully. They've taken a couple people hostage and you need to help me get them out. They've also caught Potter and the others. Come as soon as possible today. Don't talk to anyone, don't be seen. Come straight to my room.

I've been asked to identify them. Come alone.

Draco.

I collapse onto the bed and hold the letter up, allowing the bird to reach it.

Lex's Pov

"I'm coming with you", Fred tells me. "No you're not. Give me my wand", I hiss at him.

He had snatched it up after reading the letter over my shoulder. "Only of you agree to let me come".

"Fine. Give me my wand and go get yours", I play along. As soon as it's in my hand, I launch myself over the staircase railing and land on the carpet. He shoots daggers at me from his eyes.

"Lex", he yells. I'm already in the fireplace. "Malfoy Manor", I shout over Fred's voice. The last thing I see is him trying to make it down the stairs in time.

The second I feel solid ground, I jump behind a bush. The door is a no go, so I creep below Draco's window and levitate myself up. I ease the window open and creep into the room.

He's passed out. "Draco", i say. He doesn't open his eyes, but snakes an arm out and pulls me on top of him. His arms wrap around me. "I missed you", he murmurs. The tears stream down his face and he opens his eyes.

Oh my god. He looks like he's on deaths door. His room looks like shit. He looks like shit. "Good to see you to", I tell him. I pull him up. "Before we do anything, you need to take a shower".

He nods and disappears into the bathroom. I pick up all the broken glass and throw it in the trash. I pile all the empty water bottles and dishes in the corner of the room, then make his bed and pick up all the books.

He's still in the shower while I'm organizing his bathroom. I wipe off all the blood on the counter, shaking my head at the broken mirror. I pick out some clothes for him and put all his dirty clothes in the hamper.

"You didn't have to...." he trails off from the doorway. "What would you do without me", I mock shake my head.

"I'd die", he said simply.

Draco's Pov

"I'll gather everyone in the room while you slip into the basement", I say.

She sits on my dresser. "That's your plan?" She asks incredulously. "If you have a better one im all for it", I tell her.

Her head falls into her hands. "Fine", she says. "Go now", she orders. She's right on my heels, and we ways through the different hallways.

Lex's Pov

I magically pick the lock. "Luna?" I say. She gasps and throws her arms around me. Before I can say anything, I hear footsteps. She closes the gate and shoves me behind a pillar.

Wait. Is that the rat guy from third year? I paralyze him and drag him into the room. My blood runs cold as someone screams.

No. I sprint up the stairs. I catch ron and Harry's eyes, who look at me in shock. I point down to the basement. Draco is hiding his face in his hands, not being able to watch. "Get away from her", I yell at bellatrix.

Draco moans into his hands. "Can you listen for once Lex?" He says in disbelief. My heart shatters as I see mudblood carved into Hermione's arm. "What do we have here?" Bellatrix cackles.

"I might be related to you in the future. Or not", I say with a wink. She gasps. "Is this your dirty little secret Draco?" She giggles crazily. "Well, back to the point. Nice to meet you....." Draco mutters something to her. "Lex!" She gasps.

"Well, little Lex, how about becoming a deatheater?" She asks. Her fingernails dance around the chair.

Uhm.... what?

Isn't mudblood equivalent to the n word but just like used for different realities?
