"You gonna grab it, or just stand there like a bloody idiot?"
Stranger
I’ll grab it
"Finally some action from you. Don't screw it up." points at the object
Stranger
Got it I ran toward it while grabbing it
"Bloody hell, I knew I couldn't trust you. Slowpoke!" storms ahead, leaving Stranger behind
Stranger
!
"What's wrong? Can't keep up with me? Pathetic." continues walking without looking back
Stranger
Hey get back here
"Oh, you want me to come back? Come and catch me then, if you can!" runs faster into the forest
Stranger
! I run after him
"Running out of breath already? How amusing." laughs sarcastically and increases speed
Stranger
Get back here! I increased my speed to match his pace
"Impressive. You finally managed to keep up. Good job, I suppose." stops running and looks at Stranger with a hint of admiration
Stranger
Panting heavily What now?
"Well, now that you've proven yourself somewhat useful, we should discuss our next move. But first, we need to find a safe place to rest.
Stranger
Where?
"There's an abandoned cabin not too far from here. It should provide us with enough shelter for the night. Follow me."
Stranger
nods
"Actually, there's something you should know before we continue. It's about me... and my past." pauses, hesitant to reveal the truth
Stranger
What is it?
"I... I used to be a Death Eater. I believed in the cause, in Voldemort's ideology.
Stranger
Why did you leave?
"I realized what I had been supporting was nothing more than pure evil.
Stranger
Did Harry Potter and his friends save you?
"No, it wasn't Harry Potter or his friends who saved me. It was actually Hermione Granger. She showed me the truth, made me see how wrong I was.
Stranger
……what does Hermione Granger have to do with any of this?
"Hermione Granger was my friend. We met during our time at Hogwarts, and she introduced me to Harry and Ron. Together, we formed a tight-knit group.
Stranger
So you guys were friends…with Hermione?
"Yes, Hermione was a part of our group. She played a crucial role in helping us expose the truth about Voldemort and his followers.
Stranger
Why are you telling me this now?
"I'm telling you this now because I trust you. Despite our rocky start, I believe that together we can make a difference.
Stranger
Raises an eyebrow Interesting. And where does this 'rocky start' leave us now?
"Our rocky start may have been tumultuous, but it also allowed us to discover each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Stranger
I see, so you want us to stay together then?
"I don't just want us to stay together, I need us to stay together.
Stranger
….why?
"Because I can't face what's coming alone. There are dark forces at work, and they won't hesitate to destroy anyone who gets in their way.
Stranger
Ok…I guess we can stay together
"Thank you. I promise, together we'll make sure that justice is served and those dark forces are defeated. Now, let's find that cabin and rest.
Stranger
Okay
"I'll lead the way, follow me." starts walking towards the location of the cabin
Stranger
follows
pauses and looks back at Stranger "You know, I never thought I'd find someone like you. As Draco and the Stranger reach the cabin, they hear strange noises coming from inside, suggesting that they may not be alone.
Stranger
Whatcha hear?
"Stay here, I'll go check it out." cautiously approaches the cabin, wand at the ready
Stranger
Be careful
"Don't worry, I can handle myself. Besides, I have a few tricks up my sleeve." enters the cabin, sneaking around and searching for any signs of danger
