"Revenge?" Theodore asked "why would I want revenge on Potter? Like Blaise said, Potters been nothing but civil to us Slytherin's, and frankly I'm rather hoped that he did kill my dad. My father is a sadistic madman, and after all the things he did to my mother and I, I wouldn't blame Potter if he did kill him. In fact I'm rather disappointed at the fact that he didn't."
"Well I apologies for that" Harry spoke, Malfoy turned and jumped back when he saw Harry standing in front of him. Nott and Blaise shared a look before they grinned and stepped out of the way. "Don't worry Nott" Harry took a step and stopped in front of Draco. "Your father will get his one day, and I appreciate both of your loyalty. As for you Draco, I will get your father as well. Now, let's see if I have a reason to get rid of you"
Harry pulled Draco's arm and Draco looked fearful as he looked into the killing curse green eyes of Potter. Harry wandlessly cut the sleeve so he could see Draco's forearm, Nott and Blaise looked at it as well and the rest of the house looked on in anticipation.
"And the results have come in...you, Draco Malfoy are a death eater" Harry gripped Malfoys arm tightly, Malfoy tried to pull it away but Harry was too strong. Draco grabbed his wand with the other hand and aimed it right at Harry's head.
"Avada kedavra!" Malfoy roared as he shot the blast at Harry.
Harry dodged but the blast flew straight to a first year, Harrys eyes widened as he saw the green light head towards the young girl. Harry let Malfoy go and quickly set about protecting the girl, he could deal with Malfoy after, he quickly waved his hands and used wandless magic and pushed the girl to the side so she could avoid the curse.
The hard part was doing it delicately enough so as not to hurt the girl as it would be pointless if she broke her neck after being thrown at a wall while doing it fast enough to stop her from dying but Harry managed to pull it off, barley.
Malfoy had started running, he stopped at the common room door and fired another killing curse at Harry who dodged, when another Curse came Harry flicked his wrist and his wand came into his hand. He preferred to keep wandless magic a secret and only use it when he absolutely had to, Harry summoned a book from the nearby sofa and used it to block the curse.
Malfoy changed tactic and fired a curse at a random Slytherin, Harry tossed the book and made a bird using his wand which shot out and flew at high speed and intercepted the curse. Malfoy by that point had turned and tried to run, but was pulled back and thrown in the middle of the common room.
Draco stood up, and pointed his wand at Harry, Draco had a panicked look on his face. He was afraid, he was scared and he was not thinking straight. He grabbed a fourth year Slytherin girl and held her in front if him, he placed his wand on her neck. The girl stiffened as she felt the wand being pushed into her skin.
"BACK OFF POTTER!" Draco screamed "I'LL KILL HER!"
"Will you?" Harry asked with an amused expression.
Something about Harrys lack of reaction lowered the tension in the Slytherin common room. Some might think that he was acting but the others knew, they knew that he was confident and they knew that he usually had good reason to be confident. Even the girl who Malfoy had taken hostage, relaxed a little at the calm expression in Harrys eyes.
"I'm walking out of here!" Malfoy said, almost to make himself believe it.
"No" Harry adopted a cold voice "you aren't."
"I'm not joking!" Malfoy shouted "I'll blow her brains out!"
"That would require the use of your arm and that's a privilege that I am planning to take away from you when I take your life."
"In case you haven't noticed, my wand is currently pressed against this bitch!"
"There's a joke to be made there, but sadly I will not make that joke. Now, Malfoy, how many people have you killed?"
"W…what?!"
"How many people have you killed?" Harry repeated "answer me"
"Why?!" Draco demanded "you want to compare?! Is this a competition now?! Well, congratulations Potter, you've killed more than me! I haven't killed anyone yet!"
"Good"
"Good?!" Draco replied "Why are you going on about?! Why do you care how many I've killed?!"
"Have you tortured or raped anyone?" Harry calmly asked, ignoring Draco's questions
"NO I HAVEN'T!" Draco snapped "I ONLY JUST GOT THE BLEEDIN MARK YESTERDAY!" A tear dripped out of Draco's eyes.
"I knew it" Harry spoke softly after he subtly read Draco's mind
"Knew what?! Huh?! What did you know?! You don't know anything about me! What did you know?!"
"I know that you're still redeemable Draco" Harry replied "you may have been a jerk, you probably still are one, but you're not evil. You're not a death eater"
"YES I AM!" Draco roared, he now pointed his wand at Harry.
"No" Harry shook his head "you aren't. You're someone who grew up being shaped and molded by your father, your father changed you and made you what he wanted you to be."
"Don't talk about my father!"
"Draco, think about it, please just think for a second. You're father, I think it's safe to assume he mentioned how horrible muggles are a lot. I think it's safe to say dad was also very distant from you"
"What are you going on about?!"
