Harry couldn't believe the nerve of this idiot.

“You came here to kill me and now you want me to spare you because you’re in love with my brother?” Harry asked with an irritated tone.

Draco tried to remain silent but he was a Malfoy, his need to feel important was something hard to get rid of.

“More than that, actually…We’ve been dating for a few months,” confessed the Malfoy heir.

Harry’s mood didn’t change, that information was irrelevant, he didn’t care about his brother’s preferences, it was his personal life and he could do whatever he wanted with his life, the problem here is that he was dating his enemy and to make things worse that same enemy came here tonight to kill him.

“You tried to kill me,” Harry’s tone was cold.

It was clear that no matter what excuses Malfoy had, Harry wasn’t going to listen, his life had been threatened tonight and the only way he could feel safe again was by getting rid of what was putting his life at risk.

“I know…Potter…Ah…I’m a Slytherin okay, I always solve my problems in the way that requires the least amount of effort and that maximizes the efficiency,” Malfoy confessed with an annoyed tone.

“So…Killing me was a solution to what?” Harry asked with a serious tone.

“Saving your family, you see, I know you and your family aren’t very close because they’re disappointed that you don’t use your powers to work as an Auror even though you more than fulfill the requirements to join the forces,” Malfoy told him with a serious tone.

Harry moved his hand, clearly a sign for Malfoy to keep on going with whatever logic he had to justify his methods.

“Your work…Your mere existence represents a danger for the Potter family, you’re eventually going to build something that will anger the dark lord, and not only you're going to be the one to suffer the consequences of that decision but your whole family and especially…Henry,” Malfoy said with a calm tone and a serious expression.

Harry gritted his teeth because he knew Malfoy was right, he tried to pretend he wasn’t right but he knew the government was going to kill him at some point, but he never considered much what consequences his family will be going to go through due to his choices in life.

He knew it was foolish to think he represented no danger to his family, still, Harry didn’t want to easily give up on what he believed, he had a dream, he wanted to be free, to investigate and build what he wanted, and there was only one way to do this.

“I’m not going to kill you,” Harry said with a serious tone.

But before Malfoy could celebrate he raised his hand to stop him.

“However, I’m going to need you to swear a magical oath on your life, there’s something I want to do and I'm going to need people to help me achieve that…You’re going to be the first one to join me,” Harry muttered with a cold tone.

“W-what are you planning to do?” Asked Malfoy with a concerned tone.

Harry remained in silence, a stoic expression still plastered all over his face and then, he smirked at Malfoy.

“Easy…I’m going to tear down this government and this dictatorship we live under, we as a society can't pretend that everything's alright!” Harry said with a dangerous smirk on his face.

Malfoy wanted to run, it seems like he got into something worse than death, he should’ve let him kill him, now he'll have to swear a magical oath and do as he was being told, no longer free of his choices.

“But…But…That will put us through more danger!” Malfoy tried to get out of this.

“Well, too bad…You should’ve thought about that before you and your idiot friend decided to attack someone ten times more skilled with magic than you two combined!” Harry’s tone was dangerously angry.

Malfoy was trembling, the plan didn’t go as expected, and now he was going to become a servant for Potter, it seems like his destiny was to serve dangerous people throughout his life. He didn’t want to believe it but he always knew Harry Potter was dangerous.

During their first year at Hogwarts, he and five other friends tried to attack Potter by surprise, in the end he managed to effortlessly defeat Malfoy and his friends, seeing the emerald-eyed wizard fight was like watching a demon, he was clearly too powerful but after that, he became more secluded and rarely showed off his powers.

It’s been years since that experience, and now Draco was scared because the power he thought Potter had been scolded and decided to instead become weak, turns out he actually became more powerful than he already was.

Seeing Malfoy’s expression made Harry sight, he truly didn’t want to kill the ferrett, especially now that he found a way to use Malfoy for his plans, he didn’t even care that Draco could or the rest of the Malfoy family get killed if he helped him, after all, Malfoy tried to kill him without thinking, it was only fair for him to use him to achieve his goals, it was a needed sacrifice for a new tomorrow.

“Relax…I’m not going to go around and hunt your friends and your dark lord, not now,” Harry’s words didn’t make Malfoy feel better.

“What do you want from me then?” He was glad he didn’t have to fight his Death Eater friends but he was still wary about what the emerald-eyed wizard wanted.

“Money…Lots of it for my projects, as you’re aware, the Potters are the richest family of the pureblood funding families, I have an inheritance but my parents only allow me to take a certain quantity per month as they don’t want me or my brother to become arrogant because of our wealth,” Harry sighed.

Draco knew this very well, he received a nice amount of gold every month but his father was still the head of the family, so, he wasn’t allowed to borrow as he pleased.

“Also, I’m going to need your badge that allows you to visit the Muggle world without being guarded,” Harry ordered.

Surprisingly this was not a difficult demand, so, in the end, Malfoy nodded.

“And most importantly, I want you to be my faithful servant, there’ll be times when I’m going to need someone to do my dirty work, and I’m also going to need your help for the time when we’ll have to overthrown this government,” Harry added with a concerned tone.

“Anything else?” Asked the blonde feeling more and more nervous.

“I think that’ll be everything for now…Relax, this decision is going to make your life easier, trust me…I’m going to quit my job and work from home,” confessed Harry with a serious tone.

Those words made Malfoy feel calmer, after all, if Potter left the ministry then without their funding they would never know what he’s working on. Harry placed one hand on one of Malfoy’s hands.

“Do you agree with this?” Asked Potter with a serious tone.

“I’ll do it, I agree,” Malfoy smirked.

He succeeded in getting Potter out of the ministry, not in the way he expected but he did it, soon, a glow covered their hands as they promised what they were willing to give from this oath and so, it finally started, the first step in Harry’s quest to destroy Voldemort and his pretty cage he has secluded everyone put everyone on.

Harry couldn’t help but smirk, many ideas were running through his mind as he thought about a way to defeat Voldemort, this was going to be interesting.
