Chapter 5: Malfoy’s Freedom

Harry was brought out of his reminiscing when an annoyingly snobbish voice spoke from

behind him.

“Is what you said true Potter?” Harry snapped his book shut and cocked his head back.

Harry looked at the blond haired Slytherin that had been giving him hell since first year.

“That really depends what you mean? If you meant about me hugging Dumbledore if he added

a house full of beautiful women then yes, but if you mean when I said I was done being a git

then no. So please specify.” Harry said causing the blond haired pureblood to glare at the boy.

“I’m being serious here Potter. What you said about being born free…do you really

believe that?” Malfoy asked with caution showing in his voice. Harry stood from his seat at the

table and turned towards Malfoy.

“Walk with me Draco as Drumstrang comes to eat around this time.” Harry said and then

started walking out of the hall. Draco followed the raven-haired boy, but kept a distance just

incase he tried something. Harry ducked into an empty classroom and turned towards the blond.

“Now then Draco What was it you wanted to know?” Harry asked making the blond haired boy

sigh and run his hand through his hair.

“Do you honestly believe everyone is born free?” Draco asked making Harry smile.

“Yes Draco I do. Everyone is born without an obligation to anyone. They have no enemies,

no allies; they are completely free from all ties. Why do you ask Draco?” Harry said causing

Draco to sigh. Malfoy folded his arms over his chest and leaned back against a desk.

“Contrary to what everyone thinks Potter I’m not an only child. I have a younger sister,

she’s turning three this year. She’s beautiful Potter and she’ll only get better with age, and

god is she smart. The problem is that three weeks ago Greyback bit her. In a weeks time she’ll

go through her first transformation. I can’t let my Father be there when she turns! I love my

little sister Potter, and my Father wants to give her to the dark lord. My little sister can

have the world Potter and my father wants to give her to some lunatic as a whore! I can’t allow

that…the Black family did that to Mum and I’ll not allow it to happen to Lily!” Malfoy yelled

causing Harry’s eyes to widen. Harry turned away from the blond haired boy and stared at the

empty classroom.

“What are you willing to do for her freedom?” Harry asked making Malfoy clench his fist.

“Anything…anything you want it’s yours Potter as long as my sister gets out of my

fathers grasp!” Malfoy yelled making Harry chuckle.

“Even if you were to die? Would you still go through with this plan?” Harry asked making

Draco go wide-eyed. Draco sighed somberly.

“Yes Potter. I’m willing to die if it means that I can save Lily.” Draco said drawing a

smile onto the raven-haired boy’s face. Harry turned towards the blond and placing a hand onto

his shoulder Harry smiled.

“Good then. Now tell me Draco do you happen to know where I can find some Veritaserum?”

Harry asked drawing a raised eyebrow from the blond.

“Why would you need that Potter?” Draco asked causing the raven-haired boy to smirk.

Harry threw his arms around the shorter blonds shoulder and started leading him down the

hallway.

“Draco you and I are going to take a little trip.” Was all Harry said, making the blond

slightly nervous.

Lucius Malfoy sat in the study of Malfoy Manor filling out papers for investments when a

high-pitched screeching sound made it’s way into his ears. Looking towards the sound Lucius was

surprised to see a solid black owl perched on top the windowsill with a parcel in its talons.

‘That is Draco’s owl. What does that stupid boy want now?’ Lucius stood from his seat and walked

over to the owl. Pulling the parcel from its talons Lucius scowled as he saw the curved feminine

handwriting that his son always seemed to write in.

Dear Father,

I need your help. Dumbledore has me detained for attacking Potter. I got careless and

got caught. I was able to sneak a memory and a pensive Severus charmed so it’ll only show you,

out with Parkinson.

Draco

Lucius sneered angrily at the letter.

“You stupid boy! What have you done?” Lucius yelled ripping open the package. Lucius

looked into the parcel to see a small silver bowl filled with a clear liquid as well as a small

vial of a white and silver mist. Lucius slammed the pensive on the table and dumped the white

and silver mist into the clear liquid. As the last of the mist gathered into the bowl Lucius

placed his face into the liquid and fell into the memory.

As Lucius finally landed inside the memory he looked around only to see a solid black

room.

“Hello Lucius.” A familiar voice echoed out through the darkness. Lucius whipped around

looking for the owner of the voice.

“Potter! Where are you?” Lucius yelled making the voice chuckle.

“Stop yelling Lucius I can’t hear you anyway this is still just a memory.” The voice

echoed again causing Lucius to go wide eyed. Lucius only grew confused as he tried to pull out

of the memory and failed. The voice chuckled again.

“I’m to assume you tried to leave and found out you can’t huh? Yes that is an

interesting little thing my Mother came up with. What do you think Lucius is it a winner?”

Harry’s voice echoed from with in the darkness.

“Your mother was a Mudblood Whore Potter!” Lucius yelled again making the voice chuckle.

“I’m going to assume you just made fun of my mother again. You are so predictable

Lucius. That’s why you are going to fall…hard and fast…starting today.” The voice said making

the Malfoy Patriarch glare into the darkness.

“What are you talking about Potter?” Lucius yelled, and for a minute nothing was said.

“As I said Lucius you are so predictable. I knew that once little Draco got caught he

would try and Weasel his way out through you. Once I heard he used a Pensive to do it I was

freaking ecstatic. You see what I did was rather ingenious really. First I had to steal a sample

of the Polyjuice potions the sixth years were making. Then a simple hair from that stupid little

pig Parkinson. After that I filched that annoying little bottle of Veretaserum that Snape has on

him and placed it inside the bowl. As soon as that was done I asked if Professor Flitwick could

charm the pensive with my mothers charms. With a little help from my Gringott’s friends I was

able to place a delayed Portkey and Fidelius Charm onto it. So right now you are on your way to

Gringott’s while Veretaserum soaks into your skin and you can’t tell anybody what you saw or

heard in here. Have fun Lucius.” The voice said as Lucius was pulled from the memory.

As Lucius landed back into his own mind he realized that he was standing inside of

Gringott’s lobby with two very tall goblins standing in front of him. The first was a female

that stood that stood about five foot five with long white hair and dark skin. She was garbed in

a white dress with a solid gold pendent resting on her C-cup breast. The other goblin stood at a

solid six foot tall with pitch-black hair and an evil smirk showing on his face. The Goblin was

garbed in a blue chest plate and leather pants. At his side was a large broadsword that held a

slight curse to the blade. Lucius’s eyes however were drawn towards the single gold coin the

goblin kept flipping between his fingers.

“Hello Mr. Malfoy I was told that you would be coming here today. I’m the manger of the

Gringott’s wizarding Bank, you may call me Ragnarok.” The woman said drawing a slight smile from

the blond man.

“Yes well it’s great to meet the ruler of these lower life forms.” As those words left

his mouth everyone’s eyes widened, including his own. The taller male Goblin smiled at that.

“Well Mr. Malfoy that isn’t helping your situation here, because you see Ragnarok and I

didn’t meet you out here for pleasure. No a concern was brought our way about you from three

years ago. It seems that instead of handing a supposed thief over to our care to handle you

tortured the young goblin with one of your Unforgivable Curses. Is this true Mr. Malfoy?” The

taller goblin asked causing Lucius to glare and sneer at him.

“Yes so what. Not like you creatures would have done anything you are all thieves

anyway.” Lucius said again going wide eyed. ‘Why can’t I stop talking damn it!’ Lucius yelled

inside of his mind. The goblin smiled evilly and grabbed the coin that he was flipping between

his fingers. Before he could do anything however a firm feminine voice said.

“Lucius how could you! You realize that should they want to they could blame us for

breaking the twenty second treaty and we could have another goblin war!” Turning towards the

voice Lucius was surprised to see the Head of Magical Defense herself, Aurora Amelia Bones.

Lucius sneered at her.

“Shut up you stupid whore this doesn’t involve you!” Lucius said again screaming

mentally to himself to shut his mouth. Aurora Bones went wide-eyed as those words passed his

lips. Before she could do anything however am large curved broadsword found its way to the mans

throat. The owner of the sword smirked.

“You’re right we could, but we won’t on the condition that this man belongs to us.” The

tall goblin said making Aurora Bones look him in the eye. Amelia sighed as she saw the look on

the goblins face.

“Fine, but I want a signed Document by the Goblin royal family and he’s all yours.”

Amelia said making the tall female goblin smile and wave her hand making a scroll appear.

Unrolling the scroll the Gobliness signed it and handed it to the Head of Magical Defense.

“It’s done.” The woman said making the Aurora smirk. Looking at the taller male Goblin

Aurora bones asked.

“Would it be to much trouble if we were to question him first as there have been several

things that Lucius has been wanted for over the years?” Amelia asked making the taller goblin

smirk.

“By all means.” At those words the Aurora followed as the two Goblins led the Malfoy

Patriarch away into the tunnels. An hour later Amelia stared incredulously at the blond man.

“Lucius do you honestly expect me to believe that Dumbledore has your son locked up in

Hogwarts for attacking Mr. Potter, and that you were tricked into appearing in the middle of

Gringott’s and that you can’t tell because a fourth year student cast a Fidelius Charm? Lucius I

don’t know how stupid you think I am, but I’ll tell you everything wrong with that statement.

First is that a fourth year couldn’t in a million years cast the Fidelius charm. Second is

because I just saw your son out in the Ally with Dumbledore and Mr. Potter shopping for his

little sisters birthday. Finally the way young Draco and Harry were acting I can honestly say

that I doubt your son would attack Mr. Potter. Your Majesty Ragnarok I’m finished.” Amelia said

causing the female goblin to smile.

“Good now then if you would be so kind as to follow Eagleye he will lead you back to the

lobby.” Ragnarok said motioning towards a small goblin. As the door shut behind the two a

shimmer was seen against the wall of the room. As the Shimmer cleared it came to show three

people. The first was a tall man in purple robes with blue stars. The man had a long white beard

and twinkling blue eyes. The second figure was a short blond haired boy with an arrogant grin

and gray eyes. The final person was a short raven-haired boy holding an invisibility cloak and

had a cocky little smirk and piercing green eyes. Yes the three hidden under the cloak were none

other than Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, and Harry Potter. Looking at the three the Goblin

princes smiled and gave Harry a tight hug.

“Thank you for this Harry! We owe you so much!” Ragnarok said making the other two

confused.


“Um excuse me Ms. Ragnarok, but why exactly are you indebted to young Harry?” Dumbledore

asked making the Goblin smile.

“Besides the fact that Harry made me not only ingaged to a gorgeous goblin he also made

sure he was one of the richest... ,and we wouldn’t have been able to get the man who tortured

him.” Ragnarok said while hugging Harry tighter.

“I swear Harry sometimes I think she likes you more then me.” A gruff voice said from

across the room. Turning towards the voice Harry smirked.

“Don’t be ridiculous GripHook She only wants me for my money.” Harry said earning him a

slap from the female goblin. Dumbledore chuckled at the female goblins response.

“Um Ms. Ragnarok I am curious as to how Mr. Potter made you engaged to your betrothed?”

Dumbledore asked getting making a wide smile appear on the Gobliness’s face.

“Well it all started the day after he went into his vault…” Ragnarok started and then

proceded to tell her accounts of the events.

Ragnarok was pacing inside of her office nervously chewing on her nails.

“Shit…shit…if daddy finds out that I lost one of our largest vault owners he’ll disown

me for sure.” Ragnarok said and continued her pacing. Griphook stood in the corner of the room

watching as his princess paced nervously. Ragnarok jumped to attention and looked slightly

shocked as the wall to her right started to open. Her eyes widened however when she saw the

sight of a dirty and scratched up Harry Potter with his left hand wrapped in bandages. Harry

smiled at the dark skinned woman and leaned against the wall next him.

“What’s this I hear about you being disowned?” Harry asked making Ragnarok smile.

“Mr. Potter! You’re alright! I thought the worst when you disappeared at your vault!”

Ragnarok said causing Harry to chuckle. Pushing himself off the wall Harry walked towards the

woman.

“Well as you can see I’m just fine. Now then I believe I have something to take care

of.” Harry said making the woman’s eyes light up.

“Ah yes! Our business arrangement!” The woman said excitedly making Harry chuckle.

“In a minute but first…” Harry said earning a groan from the woman. Harry chuckled again

and walked passed the woman. Harry walked over and knelt down in front of the almost lifeless

goblin in the corner. Looking the goblin in the eyes Harry smiled.

“Tell me Griphook. How would you like your magic back? No not just back, but stronger?”

Harry asked making Ragnarok go wide-eyed and Griphook to nod and smile lightly. Harry smiled and

reached his left hand into his pocket. As Harry Pulled his hand back out inside of his grip

stood a small scalpel. However this scalpel was different then anything else they had ever seen.

This scalpel looked to be made of solid blue glass. Gripping the scalpel in his right hand Harry

looked at Griphook.

“Are you sure? I don’t know if this will hurt?” Harry asked gaining another nod from the

almost lifeless goblin. Harry smiled at the Goblin.


“Alright then. I’m going to have to ask you to take off your shirt alright?” Harry

questioned making the goblin nod and strip himself of the top part of his Gringott’s uniform.

Ragnarok watched as Harry lifted the scalpel up and placed it over the goblins heart. Her eyes

widened however as Harry pushed the scalpel passed the skin without cutting the small creature.

Ragnarok watched as Harry moved around Griphook making different strokes with the small blue

scalpel. She couldn’t help but let a tear fall from her eye however as she felt Griphooks magic

explode out from within him. Finally reaching the front of the Goblin again Harry looked him in

the eyes again.

“You said you wanted to be stronger. Do you still wish for that?” Harry asked and for

the first time in three years Griphook spoke.

“Yes.” Ragnarok smiled as she heard that happy to have some glimmer of her friend

return. Harry sighed however.

“Then I’m afraid this is going to hurt.” Harry said and then made a violent slash with

his scalpel. Griphook gasped in pain and fell to his knees as the pain flooded him. He could

feel it bones breaking and healing almost simultaneously. He could feel his muscles stretching

and tearing as if they were trying to get ripped from his skin. The only slight escape from the

pain was the slightly clawed fingers he felt being run through his hair and the soft thighs that

he had his head rested on. As the pain subsided Griphook latched onto the feeling of someone

running his or her fingers through his hair. Looking up at who it was Griphook was surprised to

see a light brown face surrounded by a curtain of white hair.

“Princess?” The Goblin croaked out making the woman smile.

“Griphook you’re alright! Can you…can you do magic?” The woman asked causing the male

goblin to smile.

“I…I think so.” Griphook said only to go wide eyed as he sensed something headed towards

the Princess. Griphook snapped upwards showing his palm towards the object. Griphook smiled as

he saw the object coming towards them stop in midair. He grew confused however when he realized

what happened.

“How did I know that was coming towards us?” Griphook asked himself drawing a light

chuckle from behind him. Turning towards the voice Griphook saw the battered form of Harry

Potter standing next to the guest chair.

“As I said Griphook how would you like to be more powerful? It is amazing what I can do

with a little knife work huh?” Harry said making Griphook stand only to get a head rush at

standing to fast. Harry chuckled as he saw the now six foot tall goblin almost fall over because

he wasn’t use to the height. Harry smiled as he saw the smaller female goblin lead the new

Griphook over towards her chair sitting him down Ragnarok turned towards the raven-haired boy.

“All right Mr. Potter Seriously. What did you do to him?” Ragnarok asked making Harry

chuckle and walk towards them.

“I fixed him, and did as he asked. He wanted to be more powerful, and since I trust

Griphook not to lose himself to it. I gave it to him.” Harry said drawing a slight glare from

the white haired woman.

“And how exactly did you make him more powerful?” Ragnarok asked drawing a smile from

the boy. Harry reached into his robe and pulled out a small sack. Tossing the sack onto the

ground Harry smiled.

“Griphook what exactly is in that bag?” Harry asked earning a confused look from the now

six foot tall goblin.

“Four Galleons, seventeen Sickles, and three Knuts. Why?” Griphook said making Harry

smirk.

“And how did you know that?” Harry asked causing Ragnarok to raise an eyebrow.

“Surly you know that goblin magic is all about Precious metal Mr. Potter. As long as we

are touching it we can tell you exactly what Karat it is or is it’s precious at all.” Ragnarok

explained making Harry chuckle.

“You’re right I did know that. However you seem to be forgetting one simple thing…”

Harry said and then kicked the back that lay at his feet. The Goblins went wide eyed as they

realized what was happening.

“…I wasn’t touching it.” Griphook said making Harry smile.

“Bingo. Got it in one. Right now Griphook is able to sense and use all the precious

metal in a twenty-five foot diameter. This radius could increase with time and how much practice

Griphook has with it.” Harry said making the two goblins go wide-eyed. Griphook stood from the

seat and slowly walked over to Harry. Ragnarok went wide-eyed as she saw her old friend give a

worriers kneel to the raven-haired boy.

“Thank you Mr. Potter. Thank you so much…is there any way I can ever repay you for what

you’ve done?” Griphook said making Harry smirk.

“You could handle my estate and help run all business transactions I do. Including the

one I’m going to propose to Gringott’s right now.” Harry said making the goblin go wide-eyed.

“You would trust a goblin with handling your money? Are you sure I won’t try and steal

it?” Griphook said making Harry smile.

“You’ve proven to me three years ago that you won’t steal from me Griphook. So yes I’d

trust a goblin to handle my money.” Harry said and held out his hand to Griphook. The Goblin

grabbed the boy’s hand and pulled himself to his feet. Harry turned towards the Gobliness that

stood shocked behind the desk. Harry walked up to the desk causing Ragnarok to snap out of her

shock.

“Well now Mr. Potter are you finally ready to talk business?” Ragnarok asked making

Harry smile.

“Yes I am Ms. Ragnarok.” Harry said making the Gobliness smile.

“Well then Mr. Potter what is it you had in mind?” Ragnarok asked causing Harry to

smirk.

“Tell me Ms. Ragnarok have you ever heard of a muggle Credit Card…” Harry started in

drawing the interest of the two Goblins in the room.

Ragnarok finished her story with a large smile.

“…and now Harry and Griphook split two percent of all the profits. Which so far is an

estimated two million Galleons each since they started. Because of Harry, Griphook is the first

non royal Goblin to own a Vault at Gringotts.” Ragnarok said causing the two other wizards to

jaw drop. Draco shook himself out of his reverence at Potters business sense when a question

came to mind.

“Wait a minute how exactly did that help you get you Betrothed?” Draco asked making

Ragnarok smile.

“Actually that was a pretty funny story. You see after my father heard about Griphooks

new power and position he wanted to meet him. Even though Griphook and I grew up together my

father never met him. After showing up in brand new armor my father and Griphook hit it off

really well. After hearing about what he and Harry were doing my father demanded that I marry

one of them. At this Griphook said and I quote. ‘Don’t get me wrong sir I like Mr. Potter, but

should you try and place Princess Ragnarok with a human I’ll gut his pale ass treaties be

damned.’ Isn’t that right honey?” Ragnarok said drawing a deep chuckle from both Harry and

Griphook and a slightly concerned look from Dumbledore.

“I hope you aren’t offended Harry I ment it in the nicest way.” Griphook said making the

boy chuckle again.

“Nah I understand. It’s alright although I like Ragnarok she’s not my type of girl.”

Harry said earning a raised eyebrow from everyone in the room.

“Oh and what type of girl am I Mr. Potter?” Ragnarok asked making Harry smirk.

“Why you’re a Gold Digger.” Harry said earning a small slap and a light chuckle from the

two goblins.

“You can’t blame that on her Harry it’s in her blood.” Griphook said earning himself a

slap as well. Everyone chuckled at that. Dumbledore however decided that it was time to go and

placed his hands onto the boys shoulders.

“Well I must apologize for ruining this wonderous reunion however I’m afraid that I must

be getting these boys back to school.” Dumbledore said drawing a groan from the boys. The old

man smiled as he disapparated out of the tunnels.

Four days had passed since that day and Harry couldn’t have been happier, he was sitting

on a bench in Hogwarts courtyard, as the students enjoyed lunch, while reading today’s

headlines.

Lucius Malfoy Finally Convicted!

Yesterday afternoon one Lucius Malfoy was convicted with the charges of blackmail,

bribery, torture, kidnapping, mass murder, and attempt at genocide. The man confessed to these

charges when Mrs. Bone, The Head of Magical Defense, heard the man confess to torturing a goblin

three years ago. After admitting to that, the Goblins at Gringott’s bank had allowed Madame

Bones to question the Malfoy Patriarch. Madame Bones did admit that he didn’t seem to be able to

keep anything hidden as he even admitted to wearing his wife’s underwear before. We at the Daily

Profit don’t know what had made Mr. Malfoy’s tongue to loosen, but we have to thank the Goblins

immensely for their help at taking this murdering Death Eater off the streets.

Harry chuckled as he finished reading the passage for the third time.

“Oh Mr. Potter! Nice to see you here!” A masculine voice said. Harry folded his paper

down to see the fake smile of Minister Cornelius Fudge along with two other people. The first

was a tall blond female. The woman had worry lines on her face and silver in her hair. The other

was a small blond haired girl with sparkling gray eyes and a wide smile.

“What is it Minister Fudge? Surly you didn’t interrupt my morning just to say hi?” Harry

said making Fudge loose his composer slightly.

“No Harry my boy of course not. I was merely wandering if you could bring these two

lovely ladies inside to see young Draco as I’m sure the news that his father doing such a thing

is horrible.” Fudge said making Harry roll his eyes.

“Yes I’m sure Draco is so shocked that the upstanding citizen that his father was could

do such a thing.” Harry said sarcastically.

“Exactly now then if you would be so kind I must be going. So long Mr. Potter.” Fudge

said completely missing the sarcasm. Harry raised an eyebrow at the back of the Minister of

magic and sighed.

“Damn Minister Fudge Packer, making me do your dirty work.” Harry said drawing a raised

eyebrow from the older blond that stood in front of him. Raising himself from his seat Harry

turned away from the two blonds and started walking away. Harry cocked his head to see that the

two weren’t following.

“Are you coming?” Harry asked and then looked forward. Harry stopped as he head a young

voice say.

“Are you really Harry Potter?” Harry smirked as he heard that.

“Yep, and if I’m not mistaken you’re Lillian Malfoy.” Harry said making the little girl

glare at him slightly.

“You know me?” The girl asked causing Harry to chuckle.

“Your brother spoke of you once or twice. You are a lot alike you know that?” Harry said

making the little girl puff up with pride.

“Really!” The little girl said excitedly making Harry chuckle again.

“Yes, now then if you and Mrs. Malfoy would follow me as I’m sure Draco would like to

know you are safe.” Harry said and then continued on his way. As Harry led them towards the

Great Hall he couldn’t help but glance at the smaller blond.

“I know about your little problem you know?” Harry said making the three year old

confused and the older Blond glare.

“And what about it Potter? Going to turn her in?” The Malfoy Matriarch said making Harry

chuckle.

“That would be counter productive really. I was actually going to propose a…well I

suppose cure would be a bad way of putting it…no the word…help maybe…yes I guess that would be

the closest thing to it…I maybe able to help your daughter with her furry little problem.” Harry

said drawing another glare from the older blond.

“I have enough money for the wolfsbane potion Potter.” Narcissa said causing Harry to

chuckle.

“I’m sure you do however as I’m sure you know your daughter would still have to spend

two weeks out of the month sick. I can stop that if you would like.” Harry said making the

oldest Malfoy scoff.

“Yeah right Potter stop with this charade.” Narcissa said making Harry shrug.

“If you don’t believe me then fine, but should you ever change your mind…” Harry said

and then kicked open the Doors to the Great Hall.

Inside the Great Hall the young Malfoy heir sat nervously as he read the headlines.

‘Damn it, you better not have drug Mum down with you Bastard.’ Malfoy thought nervously. Malfoy

jumped as a hand found its way onto the boys shoulder. Looking up Malfoy came face to face with

his only real friend, Blaise Zabini. Blaise was a tall dark haired dark skinned boy with a

certain knack for potions and a major crush on Daphne Greengrass. Blaise smiled at his friend

and slid into the seat next to him.

“Man Drake you look like shit mate.” Blaise said making the blond haired boy glare at

him.

“Screw you hot head. I’m just worried is all.” Draco said drawing a raised eyebrow from

the dark haired boy.

“Draco Malfoy worried? Man something big must have happened? What’s got you so worried?”

Blaise asked causing Malfoy to sigh.

“It’s Lily and Mum. Dad got caught and now I’m worried that…” Was all Malfoy could get

out before the doors to the Great Hall came slamming open and a loud voice yelled.

“Draco!” Looking towards the voice Draco was happy to see a small blond haired girl run

into the Great Hall and towards the Slytherin Table. Malfoy jumped From his seat and ran towards

the little girl. Reaching her Malfoy scooped his little sister into his arms and held her as she

cried. As he held onto the crying little girl another soft voice whispered.

“Draco.” Looking towards the voice the blond haired boy couldn’t have been happier.

“Mum.” Draco said only to get drawn into a tight hug by the blond woman. Harry stood at

the doorway smiling at the sight. Feeling the tears start to gather in his eyes Harry turned

away and started back towards the courtyard.

Snape watched as all of this happened and tightly gripped the leather bound book that

sat in his hands. ‘Is this what you saw James? This feeling of being alone? Did you really see

it in all of us? In me? What would you see if you could see your son now?’ Snape thought as he

felt a small tear fall from his eye.
