30 ~ start over

It was the day you were all going to head home. You had packed everything and so had Draco. You hadnt seen Harry since Sirius died.


You still werent talking to Harry because of everything but right now you just wanted to be there for him. Fight or no fight. His last family died. He was having a hard time.


You were about to head to the station when you saw Harry with Ron and Hermione and the rest of the DA. They turned around and looked at you two.


Ginny immediately ran towards you and hugged you. You smiled and hugged her back. She was such a sweet girl. She was happy to see you. She was happy that you were okay. It made her feel good to see you.


'Are you okay?' She asked. 'You scared me back there.'


'I'm fine. Thanks to you guys.'


She let you go. Harry looked like he felt guilty. He gently took a step forwards. His eyes locked with yours. You slowly walked over to him. You had no idea what was going to happen but you hoped something good.


'Hey.. how are you feeling?' He asked.


'I should ask you.'


Harry swallowed before speaking again. It was clearly difficult for him which wasn't weird.


'I thought you werent going to talk to me.'


You looked at everyone behind him and than at Draco and Ginny who joined your group. They thought the exact same. Everyone seemed surprised at your action.


'You're still my friend.' You said. 'I still care about you.. something extremely bad just happened to you and I want to be there for you.'


You stepped forwards and hugged him. Harry immediately hugged you back. You felt like he needed that. Harry looked over your shoulder at Draco. You slowly let him go.


'Listen.. I heard what Lucius said to you and Draco.. at the department of mysteries.. when you got...' he stopped.


'Tortured.' You finished his sentence. 'Its fine. I'm okay about it.'


'Yeah.. I heard what he said. I was hiding near you guys.'


Harry looked at Draco. What was he planning? He wasn't going to yell at him right?


'I'm sorry.' He just said.


Draco seemed surprised and so was the rest. Draco didn't know how to react. He just stood there staring at him in shock.


'What?' He asked.


'Lucius must've said some hard words..' ron said.


'I heard the way he spoke to you. You're right. He really doesnt care. I heard what he said about you and I was wrong to judge you like that. I'm sorry. I hope we can move on from here. Start over.'


Harry offered him his hand. Draco looked at it. It reminded him of the first year. Draco wanted to make friends with Harry be he rejected him. Draco looked back at him. He stepped forwards and shook his hand.


'Of course.' Draco smiled. 'Thank you.'


'Finally.' Hermione laughed.


You grabbed Dracos hand and smiled at him.


'What?' He asked.


'Thank you for being the bigger person and forgiving him.'


Draco grinned.


'Of course.'


You headed towards the carriages. You all got in. Ron offered Draco a hand to help him in. Draco did the same for you.


'Do you guys have holiday plans?' Ron asked you.


'We will be at my place. We might go to london some days but we mostly stay home.'


'Mum wanted me to ask if you guys wanted to come over the last week of the holiday. Before Hogwarts.'


You smiled.


'We will discuss it with my parents.' You smiled.


The carriage arrived at the station. You all got out and grabbed your stuff. Harry watched the group leave. He followed after you guys.


'Hey.. I've been thinking about what Dumbledore said.. That even though we've got a fight ahead of us, we've got one thing that Voldemort doesn't have.'


You all looked at him.


'Something worth fighting for.'


That was nicely said. You smiled at Harry.


'That's true.'


-


'Y/N!' Your mother smiled as you happily hugged her.


She moved to Draco afterwards. He smiled and hugged her while you hugged your dad. It was amazing to see them again. It felt good.


'I'm so glad you guys are okay.' Your mother smiled. 'After all that news about the ministry. Thank god you guys were in a fight with Harry.'


You looked at Draco and then back at your parents. That was awkward. You were there but of course they didn't know.


'You werent there... right?' Your dad asked.


'Well...' draco started.


'Oh no! Are you guys insane?!' Your mother said right away.


'Mum dont worry. It wasnt too bad. We just supported Harry.'


Draco sighed and looked at the floor. He felt horrible towards your parents. He promised them he would treat you right and he didn't.


'What's up?' Your dad asked him.


'My dad was there.'


'Draco please dont. I-'


Draco interrupted you by placing a hand on your shoulder. He looked at your parents. You wanted to keep talking but he clearly didn't want you to.


'He tried to get me on his side again.. he used Y/N to target me.. he.. used to cruciatus curse on her.'


Your parents looked at you in shock. Why was he saying this. You didn't want you parents to hate Draco or be Draco about you.


'The ministry wasnt the thing that put her into danger it was me.. and I totally get it if you wont forgive me for that but I had to tell you.'


Your mum walked over to you and held you tightly against her. She ran her hand past your head.


'My little girl, are you okay?'


'I'm fine. Draco fought him off and Ginny made sure I went to the hospital wing.'


'I'm really sorry.'


'Sorry? That's not your fault, son.' Your father said. 'Its his. Don't worry. We will all go home and try to forget this whole thing.'


Draco smiled as your mother let you go. You gave Draco a small hug before taking him home.
