[Harry

Draco]

Hey, are you still up ?

Yeah, I was about to write you a message

Great minds think alike 😏

It seems 😏

So tell me, how was the meeting with the Slytherin guys ?

It went great, it was a bit awkward though

I can imagine why

Yeah.. The worst was those who weren't there. Like those who died or that are in Azkaban

I remember you lost a friend on the ROR. It must have been hard

Can't say it wasn't. We all lost during the war, though I can't really complain I guess. He was the only one I really knew that died. The thing that has been most difficult was to deal with my father

How did it go ?

His trial was a day after mine, remember ? I had the right to talk to him. He asked me to convince you to speak for him

But you never asked me to

No, how could I have ? You had no reason to, you had already helped me and my mother, and as much as I wish it could end well for him, he deserves to go there for all he brought to us and for those he killed

I guess he wasn't happy about it.

Not at all. I saw him again after the trial, he was less than pleased

I think I can guess his reaction. He told you you were no son of his, something along those lines, am I right ?

Yeah, that's exactly what he said. And that was what hurt the most. That's why I couldn't bear to be put in the same cell. It's stupid but I can't help it

It's not stupid. He's your father despite his flaws and you've always tried to please him, so I can understand why you're hurt.

Thank you Harry, I'm always amazed that you can understand me like you do. People usually think I hate my father because he killed, but put in the same situation, would they hate their own father ? It doesn't mean I agreed with him on anything, but he's still the man who raised me

I can't exactly relate, but I discovered a long time ago that my father was a bully at school, that he was mean with Snape for example, and it really shook me, because every time I had thought about what he would be like, I always pictured him as the good guy. Thing is, our parents are not perfect, and we like them nonetheless

I had no idea. Guess it explains why Snape hated you that much, I always heard you looked like your father.
You're totally right. Thank you

Yeah, that, and Snape loved my mother, who chose my father over him... Guess it all makes sense
Why do you thank me ?

One time he told me about a woman he loved when he was young and never stopped loving, I never knew it was your mother !
Because you always understand me, and you make me feel a whole lot better about this whole situation

I'm surprised he told you, guess you were closer than I thought
You don't have to thank me babe

Looks like it. We chatted quite often, and about everything
Why ? I think I should, I want to show you how you're helping me every time I can

Did he know that you liked me ?
I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything, and it was nothing. Also I don't want to be for you just someone who helps you, though I will help you every time you need it, I want to be more. I don't want to be replaced

Yeah, he knew. You should have seen his face when I told him, it was hilarious
Don't worry Harry, that's not at all what it is. I know I don't owe you anything because you do this for me, and am I wrong if I say that helping each other is normal in a relationship ? I want us to support each other, because you're you and I love you, like I said I had feelings for you even before we started to talk, so I'm not going out with you just because you help me in more than one way !! How can you think I can replace you ?

I wish I could have seen that !!
I'm sorry, you're right. It was stupid. I love you

Don't worry, I have a picture
It's nothing. I can understand you're sometimes doubting, I am too. But from now on, I say if there's something we should not doubt about, it's us

Niiiice !
I was not doubting about us, because you're right. It's just, I don't know, I was thinking about Ron and how things would be when he'll come back to Hogwarts on Sunday, and then I thought about Fred, and the war, and how I made stupid choices, how I wasn't fast enough, how I never was more than Dumbledore's puppet, raised to die like a pig, and I just felt bad about myself

Oh god, don't think like that I beg you !  Everyone, and you more than anyone, did the best you could. It was war, people died, it's not something we can change. You really did what was the best for everyone, you sacrificed yourself for god's sake, you can't do more than that. Maybe Dumbledore manipulated you, but I really think he knew you would survive. Despite what you can think, it was clear he liked you a lot. And anyway, you're free from all duty now. Don't think bad about you

I'm sorry again I know you're right. It's just difficult sometimes. I could show you some memories Snape gave me before he died if you wanted, there's some about my mother
And now it's my turn, thank you. It's quite difficult hating myself when you're so loving

I'd like that very much !
You make me sound like a Hufflepuff geez

Hey, don't insult Hufflepuff, they're cool and not particularly sappy, not everyone in any case :')

Suuure

You're just a mean Slytherin

Of course, don't forget I am a bad guy for wearing green

I don't, and don't forget I'm stupidly brave for wearing red

Well, it's true

You're not wrong I fear :')

I'm never wrong

Of course.
I wanted to ask you, did you hear about McGo today about tomorrow ?

What about tomorrow ?

You're supposed to come back to me !!!

Oh. Right, it'll be the third day. I'm sorry, McGonagall didn't tell me anything

Oh. I hope she will tomorrow. I will go and see her

I'm not sure it'll be necessary, I think she'll contact me, whatever she decides

Yeah, we'll see. I hope she'll let you come back

I hope too. I want to come back to you

Awww I'll stay positive and say we see each other tomorrow !

Yeah, me too

Great ! We should sleep now, you don't know what time she'll see you

You're right. Goodnight Ry
