Ch 4

A few hours later once Harry had come round from his faint he looked around the room he was situated in, he was in Draco's quarters the guest room to be exact it was tastefully decorated in various shades of blues and cream it held a queen size bed with pale blue silk sheets and a dark blue duvet cover it also held a walk in wardrobe -upon seeing this Harry grimaced he really was in dire need of new clothes so it looked like a shopping trip was in order he maintained that he hated shopping but truth be told other than gifts or school supplies he never got the chance, it was not as if he wanted those muggles to know he was rich they would demand his money so he proceeded to wear Dudleys overlarge clothes but no longer in a few days he would be 16 so was entitled to live alone well in muggle world he had to wait a year until he was 17 before he could do so in wizarding world but no matter he didn't care what anyone said he was not going back to privet drive again he would leave the country before he would do that.

In the corner there was a beech wood desk supplied with quills inkpots and parchment and a comfortable cream leather seat. Harry sighed and thought how lovely the place was but he would really have to move on somewhere else perhaps a different country at least until school started after all he was currently situated in the residence of a death eater whom he had sent to Azkaban a few weeks previous.

He was brought out his thoughts by a hesitant knock on the door and then Draco popped his head in the door "Mother asks if you are up to eating anything Potter?"

Harry smiled slightly and said "Thanks Malfoy but I really must be going now I mean what would your father say if he were to find me in his house after all I did send him to prison."

Draco was silent a few moments and said "look Potter Mother wants you to stay here the rest of the summer and well when father comes home he wont mind I'm sure of it besides I would like you to stay too it gets a bit lonely here with just my parents and I"

Harry raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm why would you want that I mean you hate me don't you?"

Draco smiled a genuine smile and said "Look Potter-Harry I don't hate you in fact quite the opposite I was upset you turned me down in first year you were the first person to do so and well it hurt my pride somewhat so I endeavoured to make your life as difficult as possible, also I am jealous of your friendship with Weasel and Granger I also thought you were a smug person who was worshipped by his family but now I know otherwise"

Harry grimaced "I don't need pity Malfoy true the muggles hate me and constantly tell me I am a worthless freak and you know what they are right I am nothing special I get everyone killed my parents, Cedric, Sirius (the only person to love me for me apart from my dead parents) I deserve everything I get and Voldemort will never give up until either one of us is dead and I am afraid your father being a death eater well that makes me a sitting duck doesn't it so I will be leaving after I thank your mother"

He said all this in an emotionless voice and Draco thought 'bloody hell he truly believes all that shit what the hell am I supposed to do now'

Before he could formulate a reply though another voice said" on the contrary Mr Potter what my son said is correct I do wish you to stay it is appalling the way those muggles treated you I cannot believe Dumbledore would willingly leave a magical child in the care of such horrors far less one such as yourself Lily will be turning in her grave no doubt"

Harry looked up to see Narcissa Malfoy standing there. Harry blushed slightly and said "I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything Mrs Malfoy but we do have a history together and wont Mr Malfoy be upset that I am here I mean the last time we saw each other it was to cast curses at each other" Narcissa chuckled "I was very good friends with your mother at school even though I was in Slytherin your mother was a Ravenclaw and was friends with lots of people she didn't let house prejudices bother her"

Harry smiled slightly and said " I didn't know that in fact truth be told I don't know much about my parents other than my father was friends with professor Lupin Sirius and that traitorous rat Peter Pettigrew. I have been told I look like my dad and that I have mums eyes and Professor Snape hates me because I look like my dad but I so wish he would realise that I am Harry and Not James Potter two different people we are"

Narcissa chuckled and said " ah yes Severus hated James on sight he was handsome, popular excellent at quidditch he was a chaser you know and as you know head boy in his day not only that he was a good student when he put his mind to it which wasn't that often. In short Sev was jealous because he was a loner who excelled in potions and dabbled in the dark arts".

Harry raised an eyebrow and said " yeah but its not my fault also he keeps going about my being famous as if I asked for it I mean hello would you like to be famous for living while you lost your only parents I think not but Snape and all the slytherins your son included seems to think I strut around and think I am great but I hate the fame and attention no one understands and now I lost Sirius the only one who loved me for me, through my own stupidity I now have no one"

Upon hearing this Draco felt his heart clench Harry Potter was not what he expected truth be told he really never thought much about it he had presumed the boy to think himself above all others what with his fame and being the gryffindor golden boy. When Draco voiced these thoughts Harry just smiled grimly and said "its all an act I am hardly a golden boy if I was then I seriously doubt that the sorting hat would have wanted to place me in slytherin in first year in fact the silly hat still seems to think I would do well in the snake pit ha as if I'd be murdered in my sleep"

Narcissa laughed and Draco just gaped he couldn't believe his ears Harry Bloody Potter could have been in slytherin wouldn't that have been a turn up for the books the saviour of the wizarding world in the snake pit. Hmm perhaps if he had been things may have been different but then again who knows that was all in the past. They key now was to look towards the future.

A few hours later after Both Narcissa and Draco had successfully persuaded Harry to stay at least for a few days a loud pop alerted the Malfoy's and their guest to the return of one Lucius Malfoy. Harry immediately tensed and went into a defensive position to the amusement of his hosts Narcissa said softly "no need to worry Harry Lucius will not touch you in fact I believe there are a few things you need to know about my husband but he shall be the one to tell you."

"Narcissa darling It is good to be home Azkaban was just awful those dementors are too much I tell you" Harry shuddered at the mention of his greatest fear you see whenever a dementor gets close to Harry he relives the night his parents were murdered though only a few choice people know this after all it would do no good to let the wrong people know though lucky for him he mastered a corporeal patronus at aged 13 which is a feat in itself not many grown wizards can do this. You see a patronus is the only think to repel dementors and Harry's takes the shape of Prongs a stag, which was his father's animagus.

Narcissa stood and pecked her husband on the cheek and said "Lucius dear we have a house guest and hopefully he will consent to stay the rest of the summer and please be nice". Lucius Malfoy raised an elegant eyebrow and said "and who might our guest be then dearest?"

Harry stood up and cleared his throat and said, "That would be me Mr Malfoy Harry Potter though it is a long story how I came to be here"

Lucius was shocked never in his wildest dreams would he ever have imagined he would be entertaining Harry Potter but being a Malfoy and thus well bred he just sneered slightly and said "Indeed Mr Potter and pray may I ask why you are here?"

Harry smirked and said "I apparated here quite by accident whilst fleeing those wretched muggles I have the misfortune to live with your son helped me and asked Mrs Malfoy to heal me and both insisted I stay but if you would rather I shall leave straight away and go live in the muggle world or something until school starts its no skin of my nose"

Lucius raised an eyebrow and said "indeed well if my lady wife has insisted you stay who am I to argue but first if we are to be living under the same roof I suggest a truce and I shall explain a few things concerning my allegiances to the war"

Harry weighed up his options and said" indeed I accept but I have been given dispensation to practice magic wasn't that nice of fudge stupid git that he is a bit late in my opinion but well what does he know"

Lucius laughed and said "Indeed, well lets just say first off I am sorry about your godfather he was after all my wife's cousin and kreacher sought out Bella not cissa and I am only a death eater to protect Draco you see I believe in a balance the world is not all black and white I don't support the dark lord nor do I support Dumbledore I am doing what I am to try and protect my loved ones"

Harry looked thoughtful and said "well for some of us unfortunately we have no choice because that megalomaniac tried to kill me at 1 and it is my destiny to fight him through no fault of my own and I could understand trying to protect your family hell that's why I have no parents they died for me but if I stay here wont that be endangering you?"

"Perhaps but it is a risk I am willing to take and I shall give you a wizards oath that I Lucius Malfoy will stand alongside you in this war for the final struggle but I must insist it is only you not the muggle loving headmaster and certainly not that halfblood voldemort"

Harry smirked and said "I Harry James Potter sole heir of the potter fortune and most likely the black one too accept but may I ask how you will do this?"

Lucius smirked "well I shall tell the dark lord that I have instructed Draco to befriend you to try and persuade you over to our side and meanwhile any information I get I shall pass on to Draco who shall pass it on to you"

Harry smiled slightly and said, "hmm he isn't stupid I suppose Draco knows occlumency as well as yourself because you will need it as will I but as for when we get to hogwarts what will happen?"

Draco said "well if we start again we can be friendly in public I can work on my housemates but if any of the light ask just say you are trying to persuade us away from the dark"

Harry smirked "hmm that could work but first I would like to apologise for the last five years and if your offer from first year still stands I will accept your hand"

Draco smirked and said, "I apologise for the last five years also and my name is Draco Lucius Malfoy and you are?"

Harry stuck out his hand and said, "I am Harry James Potter it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance " and both boys shook hands.

Narcissa smiled and said, "Excellent now that is out the way I suggest a shopping trip perhaps tomorrow as Harry you are in need of some new clothes"

Harry smiled and said " that is indeed true and also I would like to get my eyes fixed I cannot have my eyesight impeded during the final battle and perhaps a new hairstyle but first I need to go to gringotts".

Narcissa smiled and said "you are one of us now we will get your clothes think of it as a gift"

Harry said "thank you Mrs Malfoy but I cannot accept I will pay you back when we get our school supplies after all I have enough money at my disposal".

Narcissa chuckled and said firmly "nonsense Harry Lily was my best friend and asked me to look out for you if anything untoward would happen to her or James If Sirius couldn't I am only sorry I couldn't be here sooner but seeing as Lucius allegiances were put into question I didn't deem it safe but perhaps you should at least let Remus Lupin know you are safe being as he most likely looks upon you as a member of his pack".

Harry was about to protest again but refrained from doing so by the earnest look on Narcissa face he sighed in defeat and said " fine but all my clothes are too big apart from my school uniform so I am afraid you would be embarrassed to be seen with me in public"

Draco smirked and said "you can borrow something of mine Potter until you get your own stuff"

Harry smiled "fine but if we are living under the same roof and are attempting to be friends perhaps it would be best if you called me Harry"

The other boy smirked and said "fine then Harry but you must call me Draco"

Harry just shrugged and begged his leave to go back to his room he needed to write some letters and he was still tired.

Once in solitude of the room he was given Harry sat down and thought 'how on earth am I going to tell Ron and hermione where I am living they will surely freak perhaps I should just tell Remus'

He got out a fresh piece of parchment and wrote

Dear Moony,

I know by now you are likely to be worried but know this I am safe and most likely in better hands than living with The Dursleys they made me write I was fine and that but well lets say I wasn't not to go into details but I waited one day until they were out and apparated somewhere no one would find me the place is well warded and un plottable but I don't want to say anything just yet some people will not understand but you may or may not hopefully you will. I found myself at a place where an old school friend of mums lived and she has vowed to take me in she healed me up. I cannot come to grimmauld it would be too painful and I didn't want to put the weasleys to any trouble after all I have caused enough

Please tell everyone I am fine and not to bother trying to find me just know I am safe and well.

Take care

Harry

After writing to Remus he wrote to his friends

Ron, Ginny

Don't worry I am fine I left the Dursleys but didn't want to bother your family over much I have caused enough problems. Tell your mum not to worry and say hi to the rest of the family.

I will not be coming to Grimauld its too painful but I will see you on September 1st

Yours Harry

Hermione

HI I have written to Ron too just to tell you not to worry I am fine and well I cant tell you where I am in this letter but I wont be at headquarters I cant face the memories at the minute anyway I will see you on 1st September and will explain everything to you all then

Harry

Once these three letters were written Harry gave them to Hedwig and sent her on the way. Once this was done he got out a book on wand less magic and proceeded to read it after all he would need anything he could get if he were to survive this battle and he intended to survive he owed it to his family and all the others who had died needlessly because of Voldemort.

After reading some Harry decided to try out some spells he closed his eyes and decided to concentrate to see if he could tap into his well of magic though it was easier said than done but Harry was nothing if not stubborn he vowed he would master wand less magic and study diligently he knew hermione would be proud of his mind set but he needed to do everything in his power to make sure he was prepared he would never have the normal life he craved but no matter he would try and ensure he would have some sort of life as someone once said Knowledge is power and Harry was aiming to get as much knowledge as possible.
