LOVED BY A MALFOY | D.MALFOY

The Start

"We need to get into Hogwarts, tonight. Dumbledore gave us a job to do." I told him as I ate another biscuit.

"Did he now? Nice job? Easy?" He snapped.

"We've been hunting horcruxes. We think the last one's inside the castle, but we'll need help getting in." Harry stated.

"That's not a job my brother's given you. It's a suicide mission. Do yourself a favor, boy, go home. Live a little longer."

"Dumbledore trusted me to see this through."

"What makes you think you can trust him? You think you can believe anything my brother told you? In all the time you knew him, did he ever mention my name? Did he ever mention hers?" He pointed at the painting of a girl with brown hair behind us.

"Why should he?..."

"Keep secrets? You tell me."

"I trusted him"

"That's a boys answer. A boy who goes chasing horcruxes on the word of a man who wouldn't even tell him where to start. You're lying! Not just to me, that doesn't matter. To yourself as well. That's what a fool does. You don't strike me a fool, Harry Potter. So I'll ask you again. There must be a reason." He walked towards Harry with a butterbeer in his hand.

"I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother. I don't care that you've given up. I trusted the man I knew. And we need to get into the castle tonight." The raven haired boy sounded like he was about to cry. It went silent.

"You know what to do." He told the girl in the painting. She nodded and turned around and started walking away.

"Where have you sent her?" Harry asked.

"You'll see soon enough." He said vaguely.

"That's your sister, Ariana, isn't it? She died very young, didn't she?" The chosen one asked Aberforth as he started walking away but stopped.

"My brother sacrificed many things, Mr.Potter, on his journey to find power... including Ariana. And she was devoted to him. He gave her everything but time."

"Thank you, Mr.Dumbledore." I said kindly. He nodded and walked out.

"He did save out lives twice. Kept an eye on us in that mirror. That doesn't seem like someone who's given up." Hermione whispered the last part.

"She's coming back." I said hopefully as Ariana started walking towards us.

"Who's that with her?" Ron asked as he looked closer. She came back and the portrait opened to reveal a dark tunnel with Neville squatting inside. He had cuts and dirt all over his face. He looked horrible.

"Neville." Harry breathed.

"Oh, you look..." I trailed off.

"Like hell, I reckon. This is nothing. Seamus is worse. Hey Ab, we've got a couple more coming through." He told the last part to Aberforth who was back. He nodded and me and the trio walked into the tunnel with Neville. We started walking as the portrait closed and it became dark so Neville lit up his wand.

"Don't remember this on the Marauder's Map." Ron said.

"That's because it never existed till now. The seven secret passages were sealed before the start of the year. This is the only one in and out now. The grounds are crawling with death eaters and dementors now." The brown haired boy said.
