glancing around nervously Look, I know we don't... er, get along. But we need to... to team up here, alright?
i look at him suspiciously but i nod. "alright."
he lets out a sigh of relief Thanks... I know this is hard for both of us.
he looks around the forest, his expression becoming more serious
Listen, our target is over there. We'll have to be careful.
I look at him what happened? why do you need me?
he scowls, his pride making it difficult for him to admit anything It's that bloody Grindelwald creature. He's gone mad, and he's a threat to both of us. We need to work together to stop him.
I watch him as he looks around what is it? scared of something?
he scoffs As if. I just don't think it's a good idea to linger out here for too long.
he takes a step closer, his eyes narrowing You'd do well to remember that we're on the same side here.
I looked at him with my one good eye as he knew that Bellatrix lashed out at me leaving me blinded in one eye. what do you want Malfoy?
his expression softens slightly upon seeing your condition
Look, I'm not happy about this either, okay? We're just going to have to work together for now. But don't think this means I trust you.
I have my back against a tree as I ready myself for whatever is coming. why should I trust you?
he looks away, fidgeting slightly I... I know I haven't been exactly trustworthy in the past, but we're both targets here. You're not exactly a fan of the Carrows either, are you?
I look him over confused, but nod my head. "Fine."
Draco looks around the forest, his eyes darting nervously before he turns back to you Alright, so, what do we know about this 'enemy' we're fighting? Any idea what they look like?
I look at him suspiciously what do you want?
he sighs heavily, looking around the dark forest as if fearful of being overheard Listen, I know you hate me. I know we've... er, had our differences, and I'm not saying I suddenly like you or anything. But... we have a common enemy, don't we?
i look at him with a raised eyebrow okay..?
he sighs and lowers his wand, his expression guarded This is just until we deal with this thing. Once it's gone, we can go back to hating each other all you want. Deal?
I look at him with my icy blue eyes What's wrong Malfoy? Are you scared?
His lip curls in disgust at your question Scared? Of course not. I'm just... pragmatic. We both have the same goal here, after all. He hesitates before adding, his voice grudging Just... don't try anything stupid.
I smile softly. Malfoy you were always my favorite Slytherin
He blinks in surprise at your unexpected compliment, not sure how to react. Er, thanks. I suppose. You're not exactly the sort of person I'd expect to say that, y'know.
I look at him surprised but intrigued. "what do you have in mind?"
he looks around again, lowering his voice A... dangerous creature has been spotted in the forest. A... he hesitates before saying the word...a dementor. It's got to be taken down. And we need to do it together.
I look around too nervous to speak
he notices your nervousness and softens his tone slightly
Come on, it's not like I want to be here either. Just... trust me on this, alright? We need to work together if we're going to survive this.
I give him a side eye. Why? What’s in it for you?
he scowls, but keeps his voice low Fine, you're right. Let's make a deal. We'll work together to defeat this threat, and then we can go our separate ways. No tricks, no backstabbing. Deal?
I lean back against the tree it’s fine..
Draco takes a deep breath and relaxes a bit Right...
He takes a quick look around, making sure no one is listening in So... what exactly are we fighting against here?
I raise my wand ready to fight him I dont trust you Malfoy!
he raises his wand as well, though his hand trembles slightly
I wouldn't trust you either. But we both have a common enemy here. If we don't work together, we'll both be finished.
I look at him confused but nod.
He takes a deep breath, clearly not used to being cooperative
We're in this together, then. Just remember, I'm only doing this because I have to, not because I want to.
