Legal Disclaimer: I own this story, but it's characters are property of J.K. Rowling. -dramatic sigh- Oh, well, she's a better author than I am at writing the Harry Potter stories. Okay, all hail the twins! I also worship Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, in case you couldn't tell. A/N: Don't sue me, please!!!!

Okay, enough of that. On a happier note, hello to all of you! Thank you to your reviews for my other stories, and I hope that you like this one. I am going to apologize right now for the extremely short chapters for this story. I will be posting two chapters today so that I will not receive any reviews saying that it is too short. Please be kind!

Chapter One- "The Storm Rages On"

"So, how does it feel to not have your godfather anymore, Potter?"

"Depends. How does it feel to not be kissing up to everybody because your father's in Azkaban?" This seemed to be Malfoy's favorite pasttime, tormenting Harry when he was alone.

"You'll regret that one day, Potter," growled Draco.

"Says who? You? I don't think so, Malfoy. Your Head of House sure as hell isn't here to hear anything I've said, and neither is mine. I'm sure, though, that you'll go straight to Snape once this confrontation is over, though, won't you?" Harry hated Malfoy even more now that he'd adopted a high and mighty air, even though his father was in Azkaban. Malfoy glared at Harry, but didn't answer. Instead, he turned on his heel and walked off, in the opposite direction of the castle.

'It seems that all he does is spend all of his spare time on that Quidditch field,' thought Harry. 'I wonder why.'

"Hey, Harry! How come you're out here by yourself? And I heard from Hermione that you're not going to Hogsmeade today. Why not? I would think you'd want to get as far away from Malfoy as you can," said Ron.

"I just don't feel like doing anything today, that's all. Why isn't Malfoy going anyway?"

"Because everybody who isn't in Slytherin is teasing him and pulling a whole bunch of pranks on him. There isn't a single person who hasn't heard about what happened last year, so the Slytherins are shunned even more." Harry nodded his head, but didn't say anything. Ron was about to say something more, but was shushed by Hermione, who'd just showed up.

"Come on, Ron. If we're going to Hogsmeade, we'd better get going. They're gonna leave soon," she added, pointing to their transportation, which was a line of carriages today. Ron cast one last glance at Harry before he followed Hermione. Harry watched them leave, then stood up and headed toward the castle. As he reached the stairs, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Quidditch field. Circling above the goalposts was a broom, and even though Harry was far enough off that he couldn't see the person, he knew for a fact that it was Malfoy. Harry watched him circle and dive for a few more minutes before turning and going inside.

-Lunch-

As Harry sat at the Gryffindor table, he noticed that almost all of the Slytherins had stayed at Hogwarts.

'Ron was right. Everybody must be shunning the Slytherins even more, because otherwise they wouldn't all still be at Hogwarts.' As Harry looked up and down the Slytherin table, he noticed that Malfoy wasn't there. 'He must still be out on the Quidditch field,' thought Harry. After Harry was done eating, he decided to go to the Owlery and visit Hedwig. He'd saved her a piece of bacon from lunch, and since he hadn't seen her at all today, he decided to go check on her. As he stepped inside and headed toward Hedwig, Harry noticed that he wasn't alone.

"So Potter, I see that you didn't go tow Hogsmeade with your little friends. Why not?" drawled Draco.

"Because I'd much rather be here in a castle full of Slytherins. Does that bother you?" he asked sarcastically. Draco sneered.

"It's nice to know that you're not without a sense of humor. So, why did you really stay behind?" asked Draco. Harry turned around and faced him.

"It's none of your business," said Harry threateningly. Draco smirked. He knew if he pushed the right buttons he'd be able to piss Harry off.

"Well, if you'll excuse me. I'll just go back to tending to my owl." With that, Draco turned his back to Harry. Harry continued to glare at Draco. Finally, he turned around and faced Hedwig, who was a bit ruffled because she appeared to be mad at Harry for ignoring her. 'What the hell happened to Malfoy?!? it looks like he lost a battle with about 3 people, judging by the bruises.'

Okay, so what do you think? I apologize for the shortness(Again!). Any flamers will be used to roast my stupid computer and anybody who makes me mad. Die, computer, die! Good reviewers get s'mores! I am sorry about the short summary that shows up when you see the thing for this story on the site, but my computer is being stupid, and I have to press enter after every letter I type in on the "Summary" section when I created this story.
