Right I've broken my promise to myself that I was only going to be writing one story at a time, and realised that two characters relationship never changed. What if Draco and Harry had to spend a summer together, in the Dursley house of all places? Would they finally be friends? Or something more? Rated T, and don't read further if you don't like Drarry ;) I did warn you…
15 year old Harry Potter sat staring out of his bedroom window with nothing to do. He had been back at the Dursleys house only eighteen days and had another week before he turned sixteen and could go to the Burrow. Memories of his past few weeks flashed through his mind and he was grateful when someone rang the doorbell and Uncle Vernon shouted, "WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS RINGING AT 2AM?! BOY GET THE DOOR!" and it snapped him out of his daydream.
Harry unlocked his door and walked carefully down the stairs. Surely Voldemort wouldn't just turn up on the doorstep? He wouldn't be able to would he? Uncle Vernon was now at the top of the stairs. Red face and the same shade pyjamas Dudley had been wearing when Hagrid had given him a pig's tail.
Harry looked through the spy hole and saw a friendly face that had long silver hair and a long grey beard. Dumbledores' nose looked even bigger through the spy hole. But Harry was so glad to be getting news off the Wizarding world that he didn't care.
Harry opened the front door and beamed at his headmaster. Then he noticed the blonde boy behind him and his smile faded.
"Ah, Good evening Harry," Dumbledore smiled and walked into the hallway. "I don't mean to be a burden at this early hour but may I?"
Before Uncle Vernon could get over his shock at seeing the man in long midnight blue robes, Albus Dumbledore had moved into the front room and sat down in an armchair.
"You better go in then," Harry said to Malfoy, who was still waiting outside. Harry sensed something bad had happened. The blonde boy was shaking, he seemed more timid and he wasn't wearing his usual smirk. Also to Harrys surprise Draco Malfoy had actually whispered a small thank you to him as he passed the younger teen.
"I'd better wake Petunia and Dudley then," Uncle Vernon said as the teens walked into the living room.
Ten minutes later all of the Dursleys were awake and sat side by side on the small sofa, with Dudley squeezed in between his mother and father. Draco sat in the other armchair. Harry politely brought in a dining chair and sat on that.
"Now as you may already know," Dumbledore said. "Voldemort has returned to power. The minister of magic is under the Imperius curse and therefore people who defy him are in peril. Now Harry, I'll skip the details but young Draco here is in as much danger as you. Therefore as this house has the best protection the country, I feel it would be best if Draco was to stay here with you. Obviously I need you aunt and uncles permission."
"We…" Vernon began.
"We would love to," Petunia said.
Harry was astounded by his aunts' enthusiasm about letting another 'one of them' into the house, as was Vernon and Dudley.
"Thank you Petunia," Dumbledore said. "He would be happy, after everything."
Dumbledore then stood up and said his goodbyes to the two wizards and the Dursleys. He left through the front door and Harry heard the small pop coming from the garden.
"I'll show you my room," Harry said climbing the stairs without looking at Draco. The dark haired teen was not happy.
When he entered the room he had left not long before it had changed. There was another trunk in the room next to his own and there was another owl, one with bronze-looking feathers and one that seemed to be taking a liking to the snowy owl, Hedwig that Harry had got for his eleventh birthday.
"I'll sleep on the floor I guess," Harry said as Draco entered the room.
"You don't need to," Draco said. He also muttered a spell that made the single bed change into a double.
"Wait," Harry said, his mind suddenly filling up with questions. "How did you do that? Why are you here? Why have you suddenly changed?"
"Well," Draco said as both of them sat on the bed. "Earlier today, mum found out that dad had been cheating on her with aunt Bella. Mum flipped and was arguing with dad. Mum explained how she had never wanted to become a death eater and only did so because she loved him, and that she was leaving to join the order. Aunt Bella found this out and told Him. Now me and mum are in danger. Joined the Order but I couldn't as I'm not old enough. She wanted me to be protected, so asked Dumbledore if I could be sent here. I'm glad she left him but since 4am this morning, whenever I go out I'm being surrounded by death eaters. I'm scared Harry."
Harry put his arms around the boy who had been his rival a few weeks ago, now he felt sorry for him and decided to give Draco a chance. To see if they could get along after all.
Harry could tell Draco was crying, Harry dried the tears and smiled at the boy in front of him.
"Look, Draco. Your father must have been crazy to give up his own wife and son. A wife that is beautiful and a good person, and a son like you, just for a fling with Bellatrix."
"I guess your right Harry," Draco smiled. "Look I'm sorry for all the bullshit I've given you at Hogwarts. It was my dad feeding me lies about you."
"It's okay," Harry said. "I'm sorry about Hermione punching you in the third year."
They both laughed as they remembered Hermione punching Draco, realising he wasn't worth her effort to curse him.
"Vernon and I are going to sleep now," Petunia said poking her head around the door. "Keep the noise down will you?"
The boys nodded and as Petunia closed the door, Draco began rummaging around for some pyjama bottoms. Harry left the room to change into his own, however Harry did not take as long as Draco and as Harry returned to his bedroom, he noticed the blonde boy was completely naked. Draco rushed to put his pyjama bottoms on as a strange emotion coursed through the dark haired teen's body. Harry decided not to dwell on it and climbed into the bed and faced the wall. Draco did the same and Harry fell asleep before Draco asked questions.
