bad, bad idea, Harry. He's starting to do exactly what Draco didn't want him to do - lie to him under the impression of protecting Draco and - Ron. Draco is not going to be happy when he founds out. And I'm not as well. Has Harry forgotten that Draco wants to get to know, to see his other personas? How is he going to do that if not in action? Does he think he'll make some kind of show for him, like "And this is Gerald, my bodyguard- and now, this is Osiris-"? Really. I mean, it's okay to be afraid, and it's okay wanting to protect Draco (and his friends), but honesty works so, so much better for that. He could have been honest, and if Draco would have wanted to hex him, he could have told him no, and Draco would have done it. And why does he think Draco would enforce his presence in this confrontation between him and his friends? I thought they had agreed that both of them should go alone, and anyways, Draco would understand why he shouldn't be there. He'd probably insist on staying at Harry's home for when he gets back, but that's all. I understand it's still hard for Harry to trust, but I thought he at least trusts himself. If Draco insisted on something Harry absolutely does not want - like hexing Ron, or accompanying him - then Harry could make him not do it, no matter how much he wants to.
I also think Lucius hexed Draco somehow with this wand-movement-thing. So what if his left eye didn't twitch - Lucius knows Draco knows about that, so he could have used a glamour, or trained so it wouldn't twitch, or whatever. I don't trust Lucius as far as I can throw him.
