Once things calmed down enough Harry walked Draco down towards the Slytherin common room. On the way they found Theo and Seamus talking at the bottom of a staircase.
"I'm done hiding. It's not doing either of us any good this way." Seamus said as they got in earshot
"We shouldn't make a big spectacle of it. Just be seen together and act normal that way people won't be so harsh." Theo told
Seamus caught sight of Harry and smiled
"Heard about your little scrap with Blaise earlier. The poor bastard looks like hell."

"Good. Maybe he'll learn to mind his own business." Harry shrugged

"Draco, I heard about the trial my mother sent an owl asking if you were alright. I told her your better off here rather than elsewhere." Theo said

"Tell your mother it's kind of her to ask. She really shouldn't worry about me. I'm safe. It my mother I'm worried about." Draco said

"He's terrified he'll find her. Which I'm telling you he won't. She's safe where she is and who she's with will protect her just like she was family." Harry sighed

"Are we not mentioning where she is for some reason?" Seamus asked

"Yes. Father could have owled anyone in Slytherin house to eavesdrop and find out where she is. I'm not taking any chances. I know I can trust Theo because his parents taught him better. I trust most of Gryffindor as is. I know they won't say where Mum is." Draco sighed

"Right you are. We won't say a word. Loyal to the end and all that." Harry stated bitterly thinking of Wormtail

"I said most." Draco rolled his eyes. "Like Ron Hermione Seamus and Neville. I know they won't say a word."

"I'm not willing to have a veela and a werewolf angry at me at once thank you." Seamus said

"Smart man shay." Theo smiled
