Chapter 3

It took another hour before Lucius was able to convince Harry to return with Ron. Ron having come to terms with the fact he had his own Mate to protect. They were greeted at the Leaky Cauldron by a slightly annoyed bushy haired brunette. "So tell me... when were you going to inform me of these changes?" She asked sound very annoyed.

"Changes... What changes 'Moine?" Ron asked truthfully.

"Not you, Ron." Hermione looked pointedly at Harry. "Though I saw the way Malfoy was looking at you. I know something is different Harry."

Harry shrunk back hiding behind Ron a little frightened by Hermione's reaction. "I... I..." He stammered but was interrupted by the floo when Draco came through.

"Ron you forgot..." Draco started seeing Ron then frowned at the tension. He glared at Hermione, "Really Granger, I though you were smarter then this." He waved a hand erecting a privacy spell around them all. "Never do something that stupid again. Do you have any idea what exposing any creature in here would be like?"

Hermione glared back at Draco, "Since when are you and Ron friends?"

"'Moine you need to calm down." Ron snapped, "And you best leave Draco alone!"

"Ronald Weasley?" Hermione gasped shocked that Ron was standing up for the blonde.

"Hermione stop before you make it worse. I'll tell you at the borrow." Harry murmured from his hiding place. Draco had moved closer to Ron shielding Harry a little more, he handed Ron his cloak.

Hermione scowled at them crossing her arms and shook her head. "Forget it, I don't want to know." She huffed and turned away. "I'm not helping either of you study this year." With that said she stormed off.

Ron frowned, "Shite Dray you gotta help me with classes." He said pathetically looking at the blonde.

"You think I'd let you fail?" Draco asked and turned to Harry. "Don't worry Mum and Dad wouldn't let you fail either."

Harry nodded weakly, "I don't trust her." He answered weakly.

"You shouldn't." Draco answered, "She doesn't know what you are and you need to keep it that way. Muggle borns should be watched closely, they are not very trust worthy."

Ron scowled at Draco, "She's our friend."

"She power hungry like almost every muggle born in Hogwarts." Draco protested.

"Stop." Harry whimpered. "I want to go home. I don't feel so well."

Ron nodded, "Alright, see you in a couple of days Draco." He leaned over kissing the blonde softly before motioning Harry to the floo.

"Ron,... just keep an eye open." Draco said softly. "Someone has got to be watching Harry."

Harry was already gone ahead. "I know, but Harry is really good at hiding things." Ron said before following Harry.

The few days past quickly for everyone. Ron and Harry had kept to their room actually trying to read the dry text books for once. They had actually gotten through a good portion of the new defense book. Trunks packed the night before both boys were down stairs eating breakfast when Molly got up.

"Oh Harry dear, you didn't have to make breakfast." Molly said noticing there was more then enough for everyone. "Hermione, Ginny, get a move on. We don't want to be late!" She yelled up the stairs. "Arthur left for work early." She sat with the boys to get her own breakfast.

"I wanted to Mrs. Weasley. The house Elves don't like it when I cook at school." Harry answered softly, "And Mr. Weasley took some with him." He indicated the breakfast.

"Yeah and our trunks are by the door." Ron added, "Were just waiting for the girls."

"Alright you are you two and where are my boys?" Molly asked good naturedly a little surprised by the way they had been acting since the shopping trip. Not that she really minded Ron studying on his own and them both being on time for this morning.

"Aw... Mum we're right here." They smirked as they answered her together a lot like the twins could.

Ginny and Hermione came in then getting breakfast as well. They ate quietly and Molly cleared the dishes when they were finished up. There was tension between the younger family members and she had noticed it. "Alright the car should be here any moment."

As if on clock works Arthur came in rushing inside. "Come on everyone. The car won't wait long." He called grabbing a trunk by the door.

Everyone was crammed into the car a few moments later. There was still tension in the air but no one was willing to break the silence until they arrived at king's cross station when they all burst into action again.

Ron and Harry were the first through the barrier and quickly boarded the train finding an empty compartment. "You think Hermione is going to sit with us?" Harry asked waving his hand and putting both trunks on the rack.

"Not likely." Ron answered taking a seat.

"She won't with us here." Draco smirked flouncing in and flopping down beside Ron.

"Well that's a surprise." Blaise commented.

"At least he isn't being all pouty and mopy anymore." Pansy answered following Blaise in and warding the compartment door.

"Hello dray." Ron smiled pulling the veela close. Draco nuzzled into Ron's neck in greeting, he had let his mask fall when he heard the door click shut.

Harry shrunk into a corner of the compartment away from the other two Slytherins. Draco looked up when he heard the shuffling. "Oh Harry, you can trust them. Plus they don't bite."

"Uncle Sev would not be happy with either of us if we did." Blaise nodded his own glamors dropping to reveal his own cat ears and tail.

"Not to mention Lucius would be furious." Pansy added now clinging to Blaise like she usually did to Draco.

Harry still pulled his legs up hugging his knees. "Okay." He murmured softly putting his head down.

"Harry..." Draco asked worried that something was wrong.

"He hasn't been doing very well." Ron answered seeing that Harry was actually asleep. "I think the separation is getting to him. He didn't really sleep last night, and he was having nightmares again."

Draco frowned, "Father has been restless since you left the manor. Mum hasn't been much better. It's like they are both going crazy without him."

Ron frowned sharing a look with Draco, "We will have to get him a detention with one of them." He looked at Pansy then. "So your Blaise's mate but hanging off Dray protects all three of you."

Pansy smirked and nodded, "Not as dumb as you look." She laughed when Draco growled at her. "Was Lucuis' idea actually when we were little."

Blaise picked her up and sat on the side Harry was on with her in his lap. "It was a complement, calm down Draco. The Weasley's may well have more money then they let on if Ron's hidden intelligences is anything to go by."

Ron laughed holding on to Draco a more tightly. "You could be right, but I'm not privy to the family fiances. Draco sit still." He murmured the last part softly. The veela had been struggling to get out of his hold since pansy's comment.

They continued chatting quietly until the snack trolly lady knocked at the door. Harry was awake again and he paid for the treats for everyone.

"Feeling any better Harry?" Draco asked.

"A little, not so tired." Harry answered.

"That's good Harry."Ron smiled hoping Harry would get better with her mates being closer.

"Can we start a duel in front of Sev or Luc? Please Draco." Harry asked softly.

"Wow Harry that's a brilliant idea." Blaise smirked, "Everyone would expect yo to end up in detention and Draco to get off with a warning."

"We were trying to think of something." Pansy grinned, "That I think is the only way it would work."

"Yes but, how do manage it tonight." Ron cut in. "You can't do it in the middle of the great hall. You'd both end up with one but Harry's would be with McGonagall."

"And I don't want to be in trouble with Mum already this year." Draco shivered cuddling closer to Ron.

Harry pouted looking at the floor. "Cloud you take them a message?" He asked softly.

"Harry, you should use the map tonight." Ron exclaimed. "
Surely one of them will be patrolling tonight and if you take your Dad's clock..."

Harry looked up grinning now. "I forgot about that."

"Lord help us if Moony finds out." Ron said shaking his head. "What would Padfoot say?"

Harry deflated again instantly, but they didn't notice right away. "You know the marauders?" It was Pansy who asked.

"You could say that." Ron answered, "But you all know Moony anyway." He sighed though looking at Harry. "Harry, you know Prongs and Paddy are probably having a good laugh together about it. Cheer up mate."

Harry blinked whipping away tears. "We just lost Padfoot though, and it's my fault."

"Harry James Potter, if it is anyone's fault it is Bellatrix and Dumbledore's" Ron frowned, "You haven't finished mourning for him."

Harry shook his head after his inheritance he didn't think about Sirius. "I miss Snuffles."

Draco got up and pulled Harry into a hug. "I don't know who exactly you mean but it'll be okay Harry." Harry calm some with the mixed scent of both his mates in Draco.

"Godfather, Padfoot." Harry answered.

"Sirius Black was his godfather and the marauder known as Padfoot." Ron explained from where he sat watching the two submissives.

"Moony hasn't even sent me a letter." Harry whimpered.

"Harry he just lost his mate." Ron sighed again. "And how would you know, you didn't get your owls while you were at the Dursley's."

"He could have come to the Burrow." Harry whined, but cuddled closer to Draco.

"He is a werewolf, Harry." Ron snapped frustrated. "They grieve differently."

""Lupin and Black, were mated?" Blaze asked. "I though I smelled something about Lupin."

There discussion was halted by the train pulling into the station.
