Harry's POV

As I escaped the weasely household and entered the gardens I was relieved. It was not that I did not like them but sometimes their good nature astounded me. They were nice to everyone. Willing to forgive and forget any mistake.

People will say it was a good thing but living with Vernon Dursely who was very narrow minded individual but a great father and husband; Severus Snape who was fool who held grudge till death but was hero who did what was asked of him till his last breath; Albus Dumbledore who was leader of light but still had his dark past made me see Light and Dark from new perspective. I realized that Right and Wrong are both relative to situation and stopped me from trusting people easily without solid background.

This helped me in many situations in my profession as Wizarding Lawyer. Many were shocked at my choice of profession but I wanted to bring traperancy in Law system after what happened to Sirius in first war and how easily deatheaters with money were freed. I will take pride in saying that I was quite successful in my goal.

Now you would be wondering about reason why I was running from my adopted family?

"Running away scarhead." A snarky voice asked behind me.

That's why.

"Fourteen years and you still haven't given up childish name calling, have you Malfoy. But then again you were never the brightest of the bunch." I replied back.

"But still here I am, rich and famous as always, part of your surrogate family, sleeping most desirable witch and….your best friend." Malfoy said with his trademark smirk.

It took all my training as occlumens to calm my nerves and not to attack him and beat him to pulp. But I knew that he was hoping for just that and controlled my anger.

"I swear Malfoy the moment Hermione Dumps your sorry arse, I will make sure that you never see outside of Azkaban." I replied seething

Hermione and Malfoy had became friends while their seventh year at Hogwarts. I had took up on offer from shacklbolt for my training as lawyer. And Ron went to training camp of chudley cannons as reserved keeper. When she told us about her friendship with Malfoy we both were very Mad and tried to talk her out of it, but she was as stubborn as she was smart. In the end we relented to give him a chance.

Malfoy acted like a perfect angel when we were with Hermione but as soon as she was out of sight he showed his true colors. I realized too late what was happening when Ron attacked Malfoy and Hermione took Malfoy's side. He was trying to break us apart. And sad part was he was successful on one part. Ron and Hermione stopped talking to each other after that.

It so happened that while me and Ron were away there was change in status of bullies and the ones who got bullied. Roles were reversed and slytherines were treated with very much caution. Hermione took pity on poor sod and befriended him, Over the period of time friendship turned into something more. We were all very shocked when she introduced him as her boyfriend, most of all Ron. It took all his brothers to stop him from killing Malfoy.

In the end Mrs. Weasely stopped him saying that Hermione was a grown woman and had the right to choose who she wants to date. I knew she considered me and Hermione as part of the family, and after losing Fred she wanted all her children to be together.

Ron was pissed off but for the sake of his mother controlled his anger. And Malfoy proved Molly right when he talked calmly to all of us without sneering and making snarky comments. Hermione also thought very highly of her boyfriend.

That's when I got my first lesson in my field: never believe blindly on what you see. analyze it and then trust. As soon as Hermione and Molly went to kitchen to clean up Malfoy started provoking Ron with sordid details of him and Hermione. Before I could process his intentions Ron was out of his place and was pummeling him to the ground.

Hearing all the noise Hermione came out of the Kitchen and saw her bloody boyfriend beneath angry Ron. And then something happened which I try to forget everyday. Hermione stunned Ron and said she wont talk to him and they were no longer friends unless he apologized to Draco. Ron tried to explain himself but in the end left when Hermione refused to hear him out.

Everyone in the family tried to talk them but they refused to budge. So after eight years of close friendship and surviving many death situations with a self proclaimed Dark Lord Golden Trio was broken by a ferret. Ironic isn't it.

Now every year we only met one of Ron or Hermione at alternate festivals. I missed my friends…..

"Looking at the stupid expression on your face Potter, I would say you are remembering all the good times you had with your friends. How pathetic? " Malfoys voice cut in my thoughts.

"Not as pathetic as you Malfoy. Using a witch you hated for years to gain acceptance in society. And knowing Hermione I am sure that you are not the one who wears pants in this relationship. She may have chosen you over Ron for now, but let me assure you that she will come around eventually." I replied.

"I know that as well Potter but I just have to cry a little and bitch about the unfairness of world and she will come again to me, Stupid Gryffindor nobility and all." Malfoy answered with a pleased expression on his face.

I knew he had a very good reason to be pleased about. After war Hermione had become a war heroine. She was the smartest and youngest employee ministry had As well as earned a good sum working as researcher of ancient magic.

My sources who I paid to watch after Hermione had told me that Malfoy planned to ask her to marry him. Time favored him because Hermione will say yes and by the time she realized his true intentions it would be late.

I have a month to make her see his true face. This was the time Harry potter showed his slytherine side

Malfoy the GAME is on….
