"No! Headmaster I refuse! There is absolutely no way I am spending any time with, with, with HIM!" Harry said loudly almost yelling. He couldn't believe this was happening, that the Headmaster would actually even suggest something as heinous as this! How he had even gotten into this position was beyond him
************************************************************************
It had all started like any other day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had just gotten done eating breakfast when Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle had started to pester them.
"Hey Weasly, how's your mother? Still fat?" Malfoy called out to Ron a challenge ringing clear in his voice. Ron stopped, turned around and was about ready to leap at Malfoy when Harry put his hand on Ron's shoulder to stop him.
"Come on Ron, he's not worth it," Harry said.
"Speaking of mothers Potter, seen yours lately? No, oh that's right, she's dead," Malfoy, said sneering. But Malfoy's sneer quickly turned into a look of worry and fear when both Harry and Ron launched themselves upon him. The jumble of boys was a flurry of fists and legs, each one trying to hurt the other as badly as possible (well by each one, I mean Ron and Harry trying their best to injure Malfoy). The mess was made even worse as Crabbe and Goyle joined into the fray.
"What in the world is going on around here!?" A commanding voice rang throughout the halls, causing the five boys to stop fighting. They looked up and two out of the five groaned, it was Snape.
"Professor Snape, Weasly and Harry attacked…" Malfoy began but was cut off by Professor Snape.
"I am sick and tired of the two of you fighting the entire year! Potter! Malfoy! Follow me." Harry and Malfoy both got up rubbing sore spots on their bodies and following the quickly retreating shape of the menacing Potions Professor.
"It's all your fault anyway, Potter," Malfoy mumbled as he walked down the corridor.
"Oh, sod off Malfoy," Harry replied tripping the whinning boy as he sped up a little.
"Ice Mice," Professor Snape said to a stone Gargoyle that was right in front of them, which suddenly sprang to life revealing a moving staircase. Neither of the two boys were impressed, Harry had been up here too many times to care, and Malfoy was raised around such things. When they reached the top, Professor Snape opened the door and motioned for the two boys to follow him.
"Well, who have we here? Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy," Headmaster Albus Dumbledore said smiling as he saw them enter then looking at Snape's face began to notice that they weren't here for a routine visit. "Why Severus, is anything the matter?"
"These two boys can't seem to be able to get along, as you may have noticed they have been causing trouble all year, and it is fraying my nerves," the peeved out potions professor (don't you just love that little rhyme?) said rubbing his temples.
"Ah, I see. Hmmm, well, I will take care of it Severus, you are free to leave," Dumbledore said. Snape didn't need to be told twice. The aged and wise Headmaster sat in his chair surveying the two boys. Total opposites, light and dark, Slytherin and Gryffindor. Dumbledore was tempted to add good and evil, but he still had hope that Draco would choose the right way.
"Well, would either of you like to explain," the Headmaster said quietly. As soon as he had spoken, he wished he hadn't. The two boys both began to launch into their own versions of the story. About all Dumbledore could make out was " All his fault…made fun of me and my friends…stuck up snob…fame drunken goody two shoes orphan…," Dumbledore raised his hands for silence. "I see that I am not going to get a very good explanation out of either of you, but it seems we do have a problem. Well, I believe that the only way you two will ever get along, is if you understand each other, and the only way you two will ever understand each other is if you spend time together. So, for the rest of the year, I believe that is six months, you will be staying in a dorm together, and by yourselves.
"No! Headmaster I refuse! There is absolutely no way I am spending any time with, with, with HIM!"
"For the first time in my life, I agree with Potter, I will not spend six minutes, let alone six months alone with him," Malfoy said standing up next to Harry.
"Well, unless both of you want to be expelled with Hogwarts, you will have to. End of discussion. Your new dormitory is behind the picture of Selina the Mystic. The password is 'harmony'. And don't try to get back into your old dormitories, the passwords have been changed and will not be given to you. The common room guardians have been instructed not to let you in." Dumbledore said sternly. Harry wasn't mad at Dumbledore, he understood his point. In this time peace with ones enemies was very important. He sighed and got up.
"Well, what about our things?" Malfoy said exasperated.
"They have been moved to your new quarters." With that said, the two boys turned and left.
"Let's get one thing straight," Harry said looking at Malfoy, "The only time we go to the stupid new dormitory is when we sleep, and I want the stupid beds to be moved as far away from each other as possible.
"Agreed." Malfoy said, and they turned and went to their different classes.
