Lucius only came to retrieve the prophecy because Bellatrix had imperiused him and forced him to, but as he fought her curse she casted a compelling charm on him so that he would stop. After she had started dueling Tonks all of her charms on Lucius weakened. Bellatrix through curse after curse at Tonks, but they bounced off the many shields Tonks conjured. Lucius used a cutting charms on the magic connecting him to Bellatrix, and then left not attack anyone.

After seeing Lucius leave Bellatrix redoubled her attacks on tonks. She sent three jinxes in a five second time and then casted the mind bug spell. That spell past Tonks wards and ingrained in her brain. Triumphant Bellatrix turned and saw Sirius in her way. She then just killed him. It was an easy kill since he had just finished dueling Dolohov. As Sirius fell through the veil Bellatrix ran after Lucius planning to kill him.

Lucius was for the exit from the Ministry as Bellatrix came running out. She cast a curse at him. Lucius deflected it. They then dueled for a minute and only ended when Harry came bolting out of one of the lifts. Bellatrix casted on him while at the same time sending a very dark curse at Lucius. Lucius, recognizing his danger in time, willingly threw himself in front of the cruciartius curse withstanding the pain. Bella then fled through the floo. Harry had been shocked that Draco's father who he had thought hated him took the pain from him.

"You did not need to stand in front of the curse." Harry told Lucius.

"I did it only because Bellatrix is insane and for all I knew she also casted a spell at me that was worse. I willingly took pain with no physical injuries than a curse that boils your blood. That spell is one that should not exist. Also the prophecy that you came here to get was fake. It was destroyed years ago. The fake was left there so that Dumbledore would not be suspicious that it plan for another war would be ended. "

"Dumbledore wanted the war to happen."

"Yes. By him defeating Voldemort it would gain him enough power for everyone to be under him. He already controls the school. Since he began teaching there the houses have never gotten along. Voldemort never tried to kill you or your parents. He wanted them to join him in his quest for peace."

"That's preposterous. I will consider the information but not until Summer. It starts in less than a week."

"That is your decision to make. I would like to offer you to stay with my family over the Summer, but I doubt you will accept."

"You are correct sir, but thank you for the kind invitation." Together the two men had brought the injured to hogwarts.

Draco wished to know the truth about what happened at the ministry. His father had written him most of the events, but Draco wanted to know if they were true. He also sensed that his father had left something out .He decided to go and ask Harry what had really happened.

When he arrived at that compartment he found Harry sleeping, and Ron and hermione talking. Once he glanced them, Ron hurried over and demanded "Ferret, leave. You are a death eater, and your father should be in Jail. I aml be watching you, and one step out of line and I will go right to Dumbledore, and tell him what a bastard you clearly are."

Draco glanced at Harry, and then said, "as long as Harry is safe I will go, but know I will be watching you as well. I just wanted to talk to Harry."

Draco was about to leave when he heard Harry crying in his sleep. A sudden rush came over Draco to go to Harry and help him. Draco glanced at Ron who shouted, "Harry is just tired. Leave or I will curse you. Harry sleeps like that all the time"

"FINE. that is a nightmare"

"So Malfoy, Why should you even care. You hate him."

"The only person I hate here is you. I actually am nice, and I would willingly be friends with all of you." He turned to Hermione and said, "Owl me if you want or need anything. Can you also pass that information on to Harry"

"Sure Draco. It was nice of you to offer, but I doubt you would be my friend because I am a muggleborn."

"Yes, the only blood I care about is blood traitors because they normally became traitors for reasons that were valid. I heard that The reason Arthur was disowned was because of his tendency during youth to act like Ron here."

Harry was indeed having a nightmare. He tried to never cried out though, but he did yell once, "Not the belt, PLEASE don't." His current one was the beating that he had received for going shopping at diagon alley. After that he had stayed in his room and sulked. He had a dreadful black eye for weeks. He fought to escape, but the dream held him tight.

All of a sudden he realized that someone was hugging him. A hand also stroked his hair. He woke up and found that Draco was hugging him and hermione was petting his hair. Harry was surprised, but he liked being in Draco's arms. As soon as Harry was awake, Ron told Draco, "Harry is awake now leave or i will ruin you."

Harry gave a confused look at Ron who then turned on him and yelled, "what kind of man are you! You let a man hug you. Also you might not have noticed but he petted your head. Have some self respect." Hermione and Harry both stood up and left the carriage, Draco leaving right after them.

While Ron was in his black mood Harry and Hermione went next door for a game of snap. When the trolley came by they Harry bought some sweets for Him, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Lavender, Dean and Seamus. Next door Ron went out to buy something, but he only had enough money for one chocolate frog. Hoping dean and seamus would share he went next door. When he walked in he found a pile of chocolate and a group of friendly faces. As he reached for a piece he heard Harry say, " You did not ask. Malfoy did have a point, you were quite rude. If you want chocolate you should buy your own."

"How was I rude. I told the truth, two men should not hug or show affection. Especially you and Draco. YOU HATE EACH OTHER."Harry turned away and murmured, "I don't hate him, he just hates me. Why did he give me a hug?" Ron clearly had not heard.

Lavender, who was sitting as far from harry as was possible gestured for Ron to come over. She picked up four medium sized milk chocolate, and fed them to him piece by piece. Once that was done Ron drew her onto his lap and kissed her on the mouth. They continued to kiss for a long time.

While the two were preoccupied Harry, Ginny, and Hermione went next door. Harry made sure the door was shut and locked before daring to speak up. "Why was Draco in here today. Also why did he give me a hug?" Hermione replied, "He invited the two of us to come stay with him over the summer. I do not know why he gave you the hug. But why are you interested, and why did you get really annoyed when Ron was picking on Malfoy?"

"His name is Draco. I got annoyed at Ron because he said I should not hug Draco, but" HE asked, "But what? Do you like Draco?"Harry mumbled something into his hands. He then looked up and realized that they had not understood. He cleared his throat and said "Yes, I do have a crush on Draco. I am sorry Ginny because I know you had a crush on me but Draco is just wonderful." Not wanting to hear any more Ginny reassured Harry, "I used to only because Ron told me I should. But I like someone else now." Hermione quickly asked "who Ginny?"Seeing how shy they were acting Harry guessed. He thought she liked Hermione but did not want to reveal it if he was wrong. Ginny spluttered then leaned over and kissed Hermione shyly. Hermione sat in shock for a few seconds then began kissing Ginny back with equal passion. After they were breathless Ginny said, "I love you Hermione," and moved to sit on the older girl's lap. Hermione asked Harry, "How long have you had a crush on Draco?" while focusing on Ginny in her lap. She looked up and blinked, Draco was standing in the doorway.

"What is this about a crush Harry?" Draco asked. There was not even the hint of a sneer in his voice. He seemed enthralled with Harry.

"Since right after the ball last year. I tried to focus on Cho, but I could not."

Draco tried not to hide his joy. "I came here to apologize Harry for how I have treated you, and to invite all three of you to come to Malfoy Manor this summer."

Harry was the first to respond, "Maybe, but Dumbledore said I have to go to my relatives house. All three of us will consider it though."

"Thanks." Draco said and left.

As soon as Draco had shut the door Ginny burst out, "He likes you."

Draco practically skipped down the hall. Harry liked him. He had had a crush on the Raven haired beauty for a few months. It had been so hard to concentrate during the History of Magic exam because his reaction was to get up and shake Harry awake. His father was going to be so disappointed in him.

As their conversation was finished Harry, Hermione and Ginny went back into the other compartment. With a glance Harry and Ginny switched seats, Harry giving Ginny the seat next to Hermione. Hermione sat then pulled Ginny into her lap. They sat and talked for some time. Half an hour later Lavender noticed Ginny and Hermione. She shrewdly got Ron's attention. He glanced at his sister just in time to see her kiss Hermione on her lips. From the look it had been a long and very passionate kiss.

Ron stood and then yelled at his sister, "I told you that you love Harry. What are you doing kissing her. She is mine." Ginny stood, but Hermione pushed her down onto the seat. She yelled, "I love your sister. She is kind, funny, and easy going while you are rude and hot tempered. You just started a relationship with Lavender. Sit down or I will tell your mother about your behavior." Ron replied, "there is nothing to tell her. You two are unnatural and go against all morals." Harry then stood to back up Hermione saying, "there is nothing wrong with love. Love knows no gender. I will no longer be seen with you, get out now."Ron yelled, "FUCK YOU GINNY, You ruined my life." Hermione seemed to also have lost her temper with Ron. She threatened, "Do you want me to tell him your secrets. I will unless you leave." With that Ron scampered, pulling Lavender by her hand. Before he shut the door he told Hermione, "Do not tell him anything or I will break your face. "With that Ginny was pissed.

She sent a stunning spell at Ron at the exact same time two other people did. Looking around she saw that Dean and Harry had both sent spells. Dean's had hit Lavender, while Ginny's and Harry's both hit Ron. They dragged the stunned bodies into the compartment next door and talked. Luna, who had been reading the Quibbler said, "Ron is an Idiot," and looked back at the paper. Harry asked Hermione, "what did you mean about telling me his secrets." Hermione sighed and stated, "Dumbledore came to us right before the first task and asked to speak to Ron alone I left, did a disillusionment charm, and came back.

Dumbledore told Ron to make up with Harry and he would be paid 15 Galleons a month. Ron agreed." Harry was furious, "WHAT. He was fooling me that whole time." Ginny said, "Harry, I think it might have been both knowing my brother, but Ron always wished he had more money. " It took the rest of the train ride to calm Harry the train had arrived at the platform, Four people pointed their wands at ron and reversed their spells.

The two woke up to see seven snarling faces over them. They ran as if their lives depended on it. Taking their belongings Hermione, Ginny, and Harry went to go talk to Molly about Ron. As soon as they left the train they heard Ron yell, "My sister is a fagit, she likes to fuck ladies vaginas." As soon as she heard that they all hurried to Molly. They got there in time to hear, "Ronald Weasley, You dare insult a lady. Your sister is one of the kindest people around." Ginny blushed and turned into Hermione's warm embrace. Ron turned and his pallor lightened.

"See, she is in a sinful relationship."

"Ronald, you will be quiet. Ginny, It is wonderful that you and Hermione are in a relationship. I hope to see you Hermione, and you Harry sometime this summer." With that the three redheads left the station through the fireplace set up for just that purpose. Hermione told Harry, "Have a nice summer. See you soon." With that she walked away, through the barrier and into the muggle world.

After crossing back into the muggle world he realized that the Dursley's were absent. Strange his uncle was never late. Five hours later Harry gave up on waiting. He decided to get to the Leaky caldron and called the Knight Bus. He told Stan, "Can you drop me off at the leaky Caldron?" The next thing he knew he was paying for a room for at least one night.

Harry quickly wrote to Remus

Dear Moony,

I hope you are enjoying whatever Dumbledore is having you do. Today Molly caught Ron yelling at Ginny because she started a relationship with Hermione. Molly was pissed. My Aunt and Uncle never did how to pick me up today so I took the knight bus to the leaky caldron. I will owl you my location when it next changes.

Love,

Harry Potter

Harry then wrote Hermione and Ginny The same massage.

My Aunt and Uncle never did how to pick me up today so I took the knight bus to the leaky caldron. I will owl you my location when it next changes.

Harry

The next morning Harry sent Hedwig to Remus along with that letter. He then made his way to the Diagon alley post office where he purchased an owl so that the pair would be delivered quickly. The letter to Ginny asked her to not tell Ron. The total cost of that purchase was a galleons, a very trivial amount compared to what he had.
