Summary:

Harry had started doubting himself lately, everything he was doing everyone he was friends with, and he was afraid to see the end result of the future. Will he live? Will Voldemort? Will Malfoy or his friends? Who else would die before this battle really began? So many questions were swirling around in his head until one day he notices something out of the ordinary by accident. How will he react when it has to do with Malfoy of all people?

Harry had been over thinking things lately. He couldn't figure out why but it all started after realizing Malfoy had been acting a bit...strange. Lately his rival hadn't bothered to go out of his way, not even while passing in the hallway to insult him, or try to use magic against him. He didn't understand things, but he wanted to know what was with Malfoy and why no one else seemed to care. Hermione brushed it off as the weasel was up to something and Ron just kept insulting him as if it wasn't anything new.

He had been glad when he would be able to go without his two friends, Hermione and Ron, to Hogsmeade and a few other stores. He wanted to get some books and snacks to keep in his room late at night. To give himself something to do instead of focus on his thoughts and his enemy. 'Why are we even enemies? All we do is insult each other every day. Well, that is until recently. Malfoy hasn't been acting like his usual self' Harry was getting lost in his thoughts while wandering around. looking at the stores, he heard something that piqued his interest wondering what it was he began looking for the source.

Turning a corner where no one seemed to be around very much at all, he heard Malfoy's voice. Two of them. 'What's going on?' he saw Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father, and Draco himself in a dark alley talking. No it looked more like a heated argument. Over what though? What were they trying hide? Was it over the fact the Dark Lord wanted them to do more and Draco didn't seem to want to? Harry had learned to pick up on things while eavesdropping and hoped if he got caught that someone would walk by, preferably a female so he could make it look like they were just talking or something. He peered around the corner staying hidden, his invisible cloak, he brought it with him and knew he could use it. Why didn't he think of it earlier.

Making sure no one was looking he threw it over his head glad it was long enough to hide his feet completely from view. Harry was starting to let his mind wander then thought it was a bad idea if he got caught he wouldn't be able to come up with a good excuse. Waiting to hear what they were going to say he stood by the side away from anyone who could bump into him and hid.

Lucius Malfoy was getting more furious by the moment, that's probably why they were in a place like this to not be seen, or heard by anyone. Though he kept it quiet he was yelling at Draco for being a failure to The Dark Lord and not being able to do anything right to please their master. "Why can't you just do a simple task he asks of you, boy! If we don't do exactly what he says when he says it, we all will die. Do you want that to happen to your mother and I?"
