Text Fic Drarry (En) - Saving the enemy

Day 32 (2) - Friday

[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
