Draco ducked behind a large oak tree, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The sound of Serpent's voice pierced the air, each hex missing its target by mere inches. Harry Potter, witnessing the chaos from a distance, rushed forward, his wand at the ready. A shimmering shield enveloped Draco, deflecting the oncoming spells. "Thank you, Harry," Draco gasped, eyes wide with fear.
Harry led Draco into the tower, the familiar smell of old books and wood smoke easing the tension. "Can I stay here for a while?" Draco asked hesitantly, his eyes scanning the cozy room. "Of course," Harry replied, gesturing to the extra bed. It felt as though an unspoken bond had formed between the two.
A soft glow surrounded Draco, his features subtly shifting to mirror those of Harry. The change was gradual but unmistakable. The air tingled with magic as the truth of his identity was revealed. "I feel... different," Draco murmured, touching his face in wonder.
Harry picked up the documents, eyes widening as he read. Draco's name had changed before his eyes, the records now listing him as Draco Evans Potter. The news spread quickly through the school, the revelation of a missing Potter twin shocking everyone. "You're my brother," Harry said, a mix of disbelief and joy in his voice.
Lucius faced the Wizengamot, his expression one of defiance. The charges of kidnapping and deception hung heavy in the air. As the verdict was delivered, a collective sigh of relief swept through the room. Narcissa Malfoy stood by, her face a mask of resignation as Lucius was led away.
Draco looked around at his newfound friends, a sense of belonging washing over him. Serpent Malfoy, now content without the burden of rivalry, had retreated to his own pursuits. "I'm glad you're here, Draco," Harry said, a smile playing on his lips. "Me too," Draco replied, feeling, for the first time, truly at home.
