~*~*Draco's POV*~*~

"Just fucking tell me!"

"Harry it's..." He slapped my hand away.

"Don't act like I wouldn't understand. I'm not stupid and just because you know I'm amhmmph..."

I grabbed his hands and covered his mouth. "Will you stop being so hot headed!? Merlin! Harry, I can feel everything you're feeling, remember. I don't want you to be stressed about it, that's why I don't want to tell you. It's complicated and I'm not exactly happy about it, okay."

Harry was glaring at me and then I felt him lick my hand. I pulled my hand away and frowned, wiping my hand on his sleeve. Harry was smirking a little although he was still clearly upset. I couldn't even be mad with him because I blamed myself for the changes in his behaviour.

"I'm not some delicate little flower you know. I've had years of experience." Harry crossed his arms.

"I know." I sighed. "That doesn't change much. Harry I love you and pretty much this entire year has been the best year ever. I finally got to be friends with you and it led to something more. I still blame myself for causing all that trouble to begin with but I'm also glad that I did. Now you're..."

"You don't need to remind me." Harry interrupted me. "Look we're pretty much even at this point. You caused an accident that changed everything. Now I caused one that is going to change everything again. Draco I just want to know the truth because it's clearly bugging you."

I shrugged. I knew I wasn't going to get out of this unless I ordered him not to worry. I hated doing that because as much as Harry had changed he was still Harry. At his core he was more than just a cute fluffy kitten. He was stubborn and feisty, thick headed and strong. He was still pretty much the person I was in love with since forever.

"The reason I got the dark mark was because I was given a mission. I had to let some Death Eaters into the castle and kill Dumbledore. My mother made Severus take an unbreakable vow. If in any way I refused to do the mission or if I failed Severus was to complete it." I sighed and sat down. "You can't break an unbreakable vow. I have basically failed the mission. There's only one day left and Severus..."

Harry took my hand and knelt down in front of me. "Severus is about to break the vow because he hasn't done your mission."

I was shocked but I nodded my head. I wasn't shocked that he understood what I was saying. I could tell he understood how I was feeling. I wasn't shocked by his actions either. I was shocked by the fact that Harry actually called Severus "Severus". He usually only called him "Snape" or "Professor".

"Let's help him then." Harry shrugged.

"Wait what?" My jaw fell open.

"Look, it has to be done or he dies. I know what it's like losing someone you care about. I know the feeling too well. It's not a nice feeling. I don't want to watch you go through that. So let's help Severus complete the mission. We let one Death Eater in. Severus can take care of the rest." Harry shrugged.

"Harry, that's insane." I frowned.

Harry shrugged and stood up. "I'm not giving you much of a choice. The only way that you're going to get me to stop is if you command me to. We can use my cloak. That's why we can only let one in. You can choose which one because I can't be seen helping you. I don't know how Severus is going to complete the rest of the mission but he shouldn't make it public."

I stood up and grabbed Harry's hand. "Stop!"

Harry fought against me for a second and gave in. He stepped closer to me but didn't look up at me. I really couldn't understand why he was thinking about actually doing this. He was supposed to be the one preventing it and yet here he was. Why was I the one currently in his shoes?

"We're going to talk to Severus." I started to walk away.

Harry followed me without a sound. I cursed quietly to myself as I realized the halls were actually quite full. Students looked at us like I was leading Harry to his death. Sure I was upset and I probably was frowning but I thought people would believe that I didn't want to hurt Harry. I brushed it off as we rounded the corner to get to the potions class.

"Hey Harry! Harry?"

I sighed and turned around. Granger was waving her hands in Harry's face. Harry wasn't responding to her. I suppose because I wasn't very clear with my demand he was basically only going to respond to me. His meek demeanor hadn't changed a single bit.

"He's busy. We're busy. You'll get your friend back in a few minutes." I said to her and grabbed Harry's hand.

Honestly I wasn't sure if she was even still his friend. I had only been in contact with Ronald for the most part. Harry let me lead him straight to Severus' door. He went inside and sat down while I checked the class and locked the door. I cast a silencing bubble just in case and then turned to Severus.

"He's gone mad." I stated.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Severus sighed.

"I told him. About my mission and the vow." I shrugged. "Harry, you're released. But you're not allowed to leave this room yet."

Harry sighed and started rambling on about the ideas he had. Severus raised an eyebrow and looked at me. I shrugged and just shook my head. He asked Harry why and Harry gave the same explanation. Eventually Severus stood up and walked over to Harry. He used his mind reading abilities and then walked over to me and slapped me over the head.

"What was that for?" I protested.

"You say that you can feel what he is feeling but you can also misinterpret that feeling. He is terrified Draco. He's terrified of seeing you in pain because of how you tend to be. He doesn't want you to scratch your arm raw or isolate yourself. That's why he doesn't care about the implications of the mission, just the outcome if it's not completed." Severus shook his head.

"But he shouldn't be." I frowned and looked at Harry.

"Over all these years you two have known each other. The two of you have never truly understood or even noticed how much attention you pay when the other is involved. Harry knows a lot more about you than a single year and a stupid mistake could provide. And you. Your idiotic attempt to become his friend was due to how much attention you have always given him." Severus pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You're released." I told Harry.

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Severus sighed. "Draco, go along with Harry's plan. Use his cloak to get Bellatrix to Dumbledore. Only then will I be able to complete the rest. Now both of you leave. I need some goddamn peace."

Harry walked out first and he didn't even stop to wait for me. I figured he was angry with me so I couldn't really complain. We didn't speak the entire way back to the Room of Requirement. Even after we got there he handed me his cloak and curled up on the bed. I wasn't sure what to say or do.

"Dray." Harry's voice broke my thoughts. "I don't want any of this to actually happen, you know."

I signed and sat down next to him. "Yeah I guess."

"I mean it. I wouldn't have cared if you told me and admitted that you didn't want to do it. However, Severus has to complete it now because... Well I don't want him to die okay." Harry sat up and wrapped me in a hug.

"I guess I still don't understand why." I said softly.

Harry tightened his arms around me. "Because you care about him. Because I care about him. In the past few months I learnt that Severus is actually a really caring person. Despite everything that's happened between you and I he respected your wish to be partnered with me. He allowed you to take responsibility for me even though he could have forced you to hand me over. He never told anyone that I was a Little. Hell, he hasn't even said anything about... You know."

Harry let go of me and patted his stomach. Severus was the only person I told about Harry being pregnant. I had half expected him to force Harry to drink the red stuff madam Pomfrey had given but instead he said it was our choice. I honestly believed he was punishing me but he was oddly supportive and understanding about the whole thing.

Even now that Harry had decided to take the blue instead he hadn't shown any hint of disgust. I understood where Harry was coming from and honestly I don't want to lose Severus. He was my godfather and honestly the closest thing I had to an actual father in comparison to my own. I sighed and kissed Harry then stood up.

"Fine. We'll do this your way. Just stay here until I get back." I threw the cloak over my shoulders.
