Harry Potter - Series Fan Fiction ❯ Finding Draco Malfoy ❯ Measure bu Measure ( Chapter 4 )

A/N: Right so Chapter four, a few people have asked about why Draco asks for help. I have to admit out of context of the rest of the plot it is quite out of character of him, but please don’t fret it will all make sense soon.

Finding Draco Malfoy
Chapter four

The Great Hall fell silent as an all too recognizable owl perched it’s self on Draco’s shoulder. The blond winced at the ineptitude of the man he had forsaken his family for. Across the hall Granger punched Potter on the arm; Draco rolled his eyes and opened the letter that accompanied the snowy bird.

“So we are following someone with this little tact?” Blaise whispered leaning over to read the letter.

Meet me at five tonight, same place.

“Was he trying to be cryptic? Because signing your name with a letter isn’t so mysterious when you send your pet owl to deliver it.” Blaise commented stealing a piece of Draco’s bacon.

“He is a Gryffindor, what did you expect?” Draco asked turning to Blaise.” Is my bacon never safe from your thieving hands?” The bond growled stealing a piece back.

“I love to eat your meat my dear friend.” The brunette replied taking a particularly large bite.

“Blaise please, I don’t need the visual. Will you come with me tonight?”

“Sure, it’s not like I hang out with anyone else anyway.”


Harry blushed under the stare of his best friend.

“What in the world were you think Harry? Sending Hedwig is tantamount to asking him to change sides in the middle of the great hall with a sonorous charm in place!” Hermione whispered franticly.

“Well… erm… I guess I didn’t think so much as act…” The brunette replied giving Ron a pleading look.

“Come on Herm no harm no fowl right?” Ron came to Harry’s rescue; Harry cringed at his choice in words.

“No harm Ronald? And what if someone follows Malfoy now? Or one of those Death Eaters in training runs off to tell Voldemort? Hmm Ronald what happens then?”

Harry smirked as Hermione tore in to Ron, I was nice to know even when his world was turning on it’s head something’s never changed.

The sun was beginning to set as Draco and Blaise arrived at the Rose Gardens. The Golden Trio were waiting for them already, Harry’s smiled faltered for a moment when he noticed Blaise, but other than that no one reacted to the new addition.

“I hope you don’t mind, Blaise is my best friend and where I go he goes.” Draco began staring at Harry beseechingly.

“If he wants to join us, he’s welcome.” Harry replied moving to sit down on the blanket Hermione had set out. The other four teenagers followed suit, taking seats as near to Harry as possible.

“So Malfoy, Zambini, why do you want to join us exactly. I mean we know Voldemort is insane but what made you see it?” Hermione asked staring at Malfoy; surprisingly it was Zambini who answered.

“Draco saw things last summer when he was with the Dark lord at his home, they made him turn from the Dark Lord. I believe Draco, if he says we will die by staying on the dark side then I believe him.”

“I never wanted to hurt anyone, Father always said the movement was to separate the societies so that our culture was preserved. But that’s not what’s happening at all… I’m not really sure what I want the wizarding world to be like. But it is not a world where innocent women and children are slaughtered for no reason.” Draco stated looking straight in to Potters eyes.



Harry couldn’t look away from the depths of blue he was staring in to. Malfoy was asking him for something, that much was obvious, but the question still eluded him. Harry hadn’t noticed himself leaning forward until he was practically in Malfoy’s lap, reaching out he placed his hand on Draco’s shoulder.

“I don’t know why I believe you Malfoy, by all rights I shouldn’t… but I have a feeling about you. I try and listen to those so for now you’re in.” Harry stated looking in to Malfoy’s baby blues. “Zambini too I suppose, but we will have to talk to the headmaster about this later in the week.” Harry glanced over to Zambini throwing the darker boy a smile.

“Of course Potter.” Draco replied

“It’s Harry, if you’re going to fight next to me call me by my name.” Harry said leaning back to sit next to Ron.

“Well Harry, I’m Draco.” Malfoy replied offering Harry his hand. Harry smiled and took it, it was then that he knew he had made the right choice.




Ron blinked as Harry leaned in to Malfoy, was it his imagination or was Harry… hitting on Malfoy. Ron blinked that was preposterous… wasn’t it? The red head blinked again waching Harry place a hand on to Malfoy’s shoulder. That look Harry gave the blond, it was the same look he gave Hermione when she was hurting and he couldn’t help her. Harry… and Malfoy… there was no way, just no way. They were like night and day. Ron decided there was nothing going on between the two of them. Yet he couldn’t help but notice the look Draco gave Harry as he pulled away, the same on he saw in Hermione’s eyes every time he didn’t kiss her.



Pansy looked down at the quill in her hand; she still wasn’t sure about this. But if anyone found out she knew and didn’t tell someone, her parents would kill her. She glanced to the full ink well above her length of parchment. This had to be done, she told herself, it was the only way to save Dray and Blaise from the Mudbloods and Blood traitors. She felt tears come to her eyes, Lucius was going to be lived when he received this missive… but it was the only way. Pansy finally put quill to parchment and wrote. Tears stained the paper, she knew this could get both of her friends killed, it was the only way, she told herself once again as she signed her name.

Lord Malfoy

Your son and the Zambini boy have fallen in with Harry Potter. The boy is having a bad influence on them. If it pleases you Lord Malfoy I have kept an eye on them and can report that they have joined the “wrong sort”. It may not be too late if you act soon.
Sincerely
Pansy Parkson

The brunette turned her eyes away from the tear streaked letter and called her owl to her. She had decided, she loved her mother just a bit more then she loved her Dragon
