Not Just an Empty Emotion

It's Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. When Draco begins to learn what Voldemort really wants from his followers he begins to resent his father and everything he represents. He realises Harry Potter's fight has been the right one all along, and only now does he begin to do something about it. Rated 'R' for future chapters. Will be H/D Slash.

Finally it's September the first, and school has started again. Draco has escaped the last three months, and has a plan...

As the first week of the new term begins, Draco's worst fears are confirmed. his plans are in tatters, and Harry Potter is doing his best to ignore him. he needs to do some serious thinking...and fast! H/D.

'Harry whispered "I'm so sorry", and fled from the room'

Now let's take a look at how Draco handles things....*wink*

So Harry ahs to have a talk with Draco...as the big day approaches there are more than just a few surprises in store....

After last chapters cliffhanger Draco and Harry continue their chat...how far will it go, and will they get what they want?

Draco and Harry are only just beginning to realise the full effect their actions will have on the world, and have decided the need to make some serious decisions...because they certainly won't be able to worry about the consequences later...

Okay, so here comes their next meeting sooner that they would have wished...This bit is now focussing on plot, but I assure you it leads to far greater things in the H/D department later on in the tale...Also, if read please review :)

Hmm.... sexual tension in a Quidditch match...only they don't seem to be able to see it. Fighting, screaming, admissions, worry, Harry putting his foot in it and a lot of himts for the slash.

As the chapter title suggests there are many "conversations"

Harry is confused. Whom does he love? Not even he knows the answer, he's only certain of one thing and that thing is something he *hates*.

Okay...the big one. That's all I can say. H/D. Muahahaha...

As the rest of the school return, Harry and Draco are having a few problems finding 'alone time'...and is Ginny in LOVE???!!!

Oh dear....Ron seems to have heard more than he should have of

"Fine Lines"~Draco has managed to get a seriously injured Harry back to Hogwarts, but who will he go to? The person he chooses makes promises- but can she keep them? And while Madam Pomfrey tries her best to heal Harry she can't make any promises of her own. And Ron still hasn't changed him mind.

"Helpless"~Harry is still in the hospital Wing, and as each day passes it looks less and less likely that he's going to wake up. Draco realises the time has come, and he has no other choice but to say goodbye to him.

“Weaker”~ Harry is finally allowed out of the Hospital Wing, to the relief of both himself and Madam Pomfrey. Ron still isn’t talking to him, Harry doesn’t want to be himself any more, and to top it all Swan wants to perform the Spell as soon as possible. Harry isn’t sure how Malfoy will behave when he next sees him, and for the life of him he STILL can’t remember what he said to him before he woke up.

“The Diamond of Fire”~ Draco is on cloud nine after what Harry has just told him but, as ever, it won’t last for long. Swan has decided that something must be done about the connection with Lord Voldemort, but the effects of the spell aren’t too great for Harry. He wants to share it with someone but he knows this is a burden he must bear alone- for everyone’s safety. And also, Ginny is feeling down about the mystery girl.

“Letters, Quidditch and A Figure”~ Harry meets someone very interesting in the Hospital Wing, but is she who he thinks she it? Madam Pomfrey is persuaded to allow Harry to play against Hufflepuff in the second Quidditch match of the season. And someone who has very dark plans for Draco Malfoy visits the school.

“A Bond Made, A Bond Broken”~ Kierre steps things up a bit in his plan to find out what Draco is up to. Harry begins to realise what his feud with Ron means to him, and Draco…well, he isn’t feeling too happy at all, right now.

“Promises”~ Foster and Draco have a conversation, which leaves poor Draco even more confused than he was before. And after Draco and Harry’s argument it’s up to Ginny to make them see sense; a difficult task when they’re all as stubborn as each other.

“Turning Points”~ Kierre tells Foster to pull out all the stops to get the answers he wants out of Draco, who, meanwhile, is preoccupied with trying to work out how to tell Snape that he doesn’t want lessons in becoming Voldemort’s favourite Death Eater…

"So Much More to Give"~ Ginny meets the girl-again, and Professor McGonagall unwittingly give Ginny a helping hand. Foster is, once again, the last one in the Common Room along with Draco and this time he is determined to get the answers he wants.

Now that Draco knows what Foster wants he'd scared to even leave his Dormitory, but he knows that FOster won't stay away for too long...

"Three's a Crowd"~ Draco is falling deeper into Foster's web, as he tries desperately to avoid Harry. It's inevetable, though, that Harry will want to speak to him. And when he does neither is really very pleased.

"As His World Collapses"~ So Harry's seen Draco and Foster together- and, understandably, his mind automatically jumps to the one conclusion he's been fearing all along. Draco tries to talk him round, but are his attempts in vain?

"Obliviate"~ At last that truth is out in the open and Harry knows what Foster has been doing to Draco. They both feel it's time to sort out Foster and Kierre...with a little help from a few friends, of course...

Hogsmeade's First~ The next Hogsmeade visit of the year is just around the corner, and Harry and Draco decide to go together. But how will they manage it without anyone knowing? And there's someone there who Harry *really* doesn't want to be seen by...Surely the invisibility cloak won't....slip?

"Beginning to Fall"~ After Draco managed to Apparate both himself and Harry to safety, Harry wants answers. And how much damage has Voldemort done to Hogwarts and Hogsmeade?
