CHAPTER ONE: SUMMER BEFORE 5th YEAR
It all started the summer after the Triwizard Tournament.
Harry sat in his room two weeks before he and Dudley were attacked when there was a rapping sound at his window. Harry got off his bed to see what the owl that was rapping on his window wanted. It was not from Hermione or Ron because he didn't remember seeing it before. He opened the window taking the paper before the owl flied off. Opening it he saw unfamiliar handwriting.
Potter,
This is Draco Malfoy. I know you are wondering why you are getting a letter from me. The reason is because I'm sick of the fighting between us. I am offering you my hand in friendship or a truce or whatever you want to call it but if you accept you must not tell anyone because we do not know what will happen in the latter years. We do not want you-know-who to know because then I might be killed along with my family or you Granger or the Weasleys.
Sorry for the lost of Diggory.
D. Malfoy
Harry was shocked, but he knew he should accept Malfoy's offer, but he didn't want to. After a long time of debating inside his head he decided to accept.
Malfoy,
I accept your offer in whatever you want to call it. I agree not to tell anyone of this.
H. Potter
What Harry did not know was his letter would not reach Malfoy till the next Wednesday. When Harry got a reply it was right before he was attacked.
Potter,
It was very nice to get a reply. Watch out Dementors are about. Tell no one.
D. Malfoy
Harry was surprised that Malfoy had warned him of the dementors. He thought that Malfoy would keep that to him self and let Harry be killed. Latter that day Harry and Dudley were attacked by dementors. Harry learned to take Malfoy's warnings seriously.
After a hearing Harry went to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Malfoy,
You were right. Me and my cousin Dudley were attacked the day I got you letter. Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I had a hearing and then I had to go to my godfather's house. What's going on in your life?
H. Potter
Malfoy was touched that it seemed like Harry care. It also drove him insane. He had always wanted to be friends with The Boy Who Lived, but when the time came it didn't happen. Now they were friends sorta and they could tell anyone. It was terrible.
Potter,
I'm always right. Who's you Godfather and nothing really but I got a letter from the school saying I'm a perfect this year. Any news for you?
D. Malfoy
They were talking like humans. It surprised Harry but he didn't care, they were friends.
Draco,
Sorry but calling you by your last name bugs me. My Godfather is a Black, that's all you need to know. You got perfect? Good for you, just don't abuse it.
H. Potter
Maybe this is going some where Draco thought. Just maybe. on and on it went all summer. It was one hectic summer for Harry but for Malfoy it was a very layback, I have nothing to do and I have no friends summer. They talked about a lot of things but never the war. They even planed to end up parters in Potions and not kill the other to mess with Snape's head.
