Draco

As your father you should have come to me with this splendid news. I would have rewarded you. Now it seems I have to punish you.

I will be coming to Hogwarts tomorrow and I expect you to hand over the baby Harry. Expect severe pain if you refuse my request.

Honey we understand that you don't want to be apart of this war. If you wanted it over you should have brought us the little boy.

No more people would have to die. Only Harry so our Lord can take victory.

Mother

Dear you can consider yourself disowned. Keeping such wonderful news to yourself. How dare you.

We expect you to hand over the boy to restore your membership in this family.

I have thought about your application. I have an initiation for you.

Bring me the child Harry. And you can join my highest ranks. You can be my second in command.

Your Lord Voldemort

Severus Snape

Quite disappointed in you. Keeping young Harry a secret from me. Did you think I wouldn't find out.

What is it about the boy that made you think you could betray me like this.

Your Lord Voldemort

The post had come like normal that Saturday morning. The group had been taking care of Harry for a month and a week now. The three Slytherins looked at each other then at the 4 Gryffindors. They wanted to panic. Slowly they hand over the letters so the others could know. They looked at the teachers table and saw Snape with the foulest scold on his face.

Another owl swooped in and landed on Harry's shoulder. Harry squeaked in delight and took the treats Draco was holding. He fed the owl and it flew off. The reason it landed on Harry was because Harry was seated in Draco's lap. And the owl belonged to Draco himself. He had removed the letter tied to its leg while Harry had fed it. His hand shook as he opened the letter.

My beautiful boy. By the time you receive this it will be too late for me. Your father has sent you a letter demanding your obedience.

I know that no matter what he does to you, you won't listen to him. And I know you obey him because you love me. I also know you love Harry.

As your mother it is my duty to protect you. Therefore I wrote this letter. Save Harry. Keep him hidden. Don't worry about me. As I said. It will be too late for me when you read this.

Your father can no longer use me as leverage. So don't believe the lies he tries to feed you. That baby boy is what is important.

I love you forever my beautiful son. I will be watching over you from the afterlife.

Love your mother
Narcissa Malfoy.

P. S. I changed my will as soon as we got the news. Your father has nothing left.

"H... Harry. Arms." Draco's voice cracked.

Harry understood. From the week he spent with Draco. When Draco wanted to stand he would tell Harry to put his arms around his neck. That's exactly what Harry did. As soon as his arms were secured around Draco, Draco got up and fled the Hall. There was a special spot no one knew about, except Harry.

No it wasn't the Room of Requirement. No it wasn't the Astronomy tower. No it wasn't an abandoned classroom. Actually it wasn't even in the castle. Or on the nearby surrounding grounds.

Draco moved quickly nearing the edge of the forbidden forest. Harry didn't say a word. He knew when Draco took them to their spot that he needed time. So Harry started playing with the few strands of Draco's hair he could reach. Soon enough they stopped.

Draco took out his wand. "Silencio."

He sat down and positioned Harry in his lap. He gave Harry the stuffed snake they kept there. Draco had bought it in secret because he noticed how Harry looked at it when they went and bought him his stuffed tiger. He sleeps with the tiger so Draco had hidden the snake until the first time he brought Harry to this spot.

"Harry. You remember I told you about my mother?" Draco asked just above a whisper.

Harry held the snake and snuggled closer to Draco. He nodded and reached for Draco's hand.

Draco gave the small boy his hand. "Well she just past away. She's no more with us."

Draco fell apart. He started crying unable to keep up the facade. Harry pressed the snake into Draco's arms and wrapped his arms around Draco's neck. Draco cried into Harry's shoulder. Holding onto him for dear life.

"Is ok to cwy. I cwy too and you say is okay. You say evewyfing fine. Is okay to cwy." Harry mumbled.

They stayed like that for a good half hour before Draco sat properly. He wiped his face and then Harry's. He hugged Harry and kissed his forehead.

"Harry love. Do you want to go back?" Draco asked.

Harry shook his head. "When you want. You okay fiwst den we go."

Draco nodded. "Okay. We will stay here a little longer then. Thank you love."

Harry and Draco fell asleep soon after.

"Poor Dray."

Draco had forgotten the letter when he rushed out. The group watching him concerned. Blaise picked up the letter once they were out of sight. None of them tried to take Harry because they knew Harry would have a fit. Whenever Draco was upset Harry never left him.

Blaise sighed and handed the letter to Pansy. She was the one who spoke after reading the letter. Everyone's attention now on her. She held up the letter.

"It's from his mother. Her final goodbye." She said.

Hermione's face grew worried. "Shouldn't we go find him? He needs support."

"No." Blaise said. "He has Harry. If we go looking for him we won't find him and if we do he will be pissed. They will come back when he's ready."

*~*

"Blaise it's been hours. They missed lunch. I can't find them. Even the map isn't showing them."

Blaise sighed. "You're right Hermione. I'm getting worried. Draco has a spot but I don't know where it is. We should have gone after them. Sorry Hermione."

Just then the doors to the Hall opened. It was halfway through dinner. Draco ignored all the stares and stifled a yawn as he walked over to his friends. He sat down and Harry stirred. Harry yawned and blinked before turning to Draco and poking his cheek.

"Eat now?"

"Yes love. You must be so hungry I'm sorry." Draco said.

Harry shook his head. "You hungwy too. We bof neva eat. No be sowwy."

Draco kissed his head. "Come now. Eat." He turned to the others. "Sorry we fell asleep."

"As long as you are okay." Neville said.

He handed Harry another slice of toast and some steamed carrots from his own plate. Harry happily munched as he watched Draco eat. Hermione shared a look with Dean. They were the only ones who picked up on it. Harry's expression was not one of a 4 year old. It was the expression 16 year old Harry had when he was worried about Draco.
