Author's Notes: Written for week 4 in
slythindor100's H/D LDWS Round Seven. The prompt was "We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided." - Albus Dumbledore.
The air was filled with echoing bangs and shrieks, filling Draco with dread. He was positive they were walking to their doom.
"Remember, we must remain together. If we stay strong and put up a united front, they can't exploit our weaknesses."
"Right." Harry nodded, looking determined. "We can do this."
He grabbed Draco's hand, pulling him closer to the noise and their impending downfall.
As they rounded the crooked house, a cheer of "Harry!" cut through the ruckus, and they were swarmed by a sea of ginger. Somewhere in all the hugs and greetings Draco lost hold of Harry's hand. A much smaller one took its place, and Draco found himself being pulled by Rose away from the rest of the party. She was gazing imploringly up at him, and he simply had to pick her up, obviously.
He looked back and saw Harry passing out chocolates to the other Weasley grandchildren. He sighed.
He'd known they were doomed.
