“Yes.”

Snape sighed and ushered Draco into the room. Closing the door, he placed a Silencing Charm on the room.

“Draco you cannot firespeak Malfoy Manor.”

“But—”

“You cannot, because no one can.”

“What?”

“Draco, do you think that your father hasn’t figured out what’s going on? Malfoy Manor is closed up like a Gringotts vault. All of the fireplaces have been cut off from the floo network until further notice.”

“But what if You-Know-Who attacks Malfoy Manor?” Draco asked.

“Then we’ll have to hope that your father knows a way off the grounds that does not involve a fireplace or the front gate.” Snape replied sarcastically. Then, more seriously, “Also, Draco, even if you could to talk to your father, I doubt he would let you.”

“Why?”

“Because right now it’s too dangerous. Not for him.” Snape cut off Draco’s protest. “Draco, Narcissa is no longer your father’s wife. He has no control over her actions any more.”

“What does that have to do with it?”

“Think about it Draco. Narcissa knows you’re an Alter Veritas, just like Lucius. Being married to him, even though she was not his Veriae intended, she knows more about Veriae than other wizards. And at Christmas, or so Lucius tells me, she found out who was your intended.”

Draco’s mind reeled as he realized his godfather spoke the truth. His mother had seen Harry at Malfoy Manor at Christmas. She would have known that he was Draco’s intended.

“That’s why it’s too dangerous Draco.” Snape finished. “Because if you do something stupid and the Dark Lord captures you, Potter would go after you.”

“Harry wouldn’t do that.” Draco’s voice wavered, uncertain.

“He wouldn’t?” Snape raised an eyebrow.

“No.” Draco’s voice sounded more certain that time.

“I would disagree with you, Draco.”
