'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''' Chapter 3: No! That can not be him! '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''
In the last chapter:
"Harry? A nephew, I'm presume?"
Harry had heard their conversation and turned around with a grin to answer her question himself.
"I wouldn't say that!"
"But whom..." She looked at him strangely, before Harry lifted his hair aside to show the famous scar with a smirk.
"Oh dear God....HARRY POTTER!"
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The owner screamed on top of her lungs, and stumbled backwards only to bump down on a nearby stool.
Harry shook his head and grimaced.
"What in Salazar's name was that for, are you trying to make me deaf?"
"Now, now Harry darling, you just startled her" Narcissa said calmly trying to hide her ever present smile, while Draco just tumbled over in hysterical laugher, holding his hand over his stomach.
"Yeah, yeah, but she didn't need to shout so bloody loud. And Draco dear, GET YOUR ASS OF THE FLOOR BEFORE I MAKE YOU DEAF!"
Draco got off the floor though he still couldn't suppress the laugher. Harry looked at him deadly serious.
"Draco, you know that floor you've been rolling on for a good 2 minutes now, right?"
Draco looked from Harry to the floor dumbstruck, "Yeah......?"
"I'm just thinking where all those shoes which have been walking upon it have been; the muggle world, in a dogs mouth, in mud, in some slimy old...." Harry didn't get to finish as Draco threw his robes at him with a disgusted look on his face.
"Burn it, burn it!" he was saying whilst trying to get rid of non-existent dirt.
Harry laid the robe on a chair and walked over to the still confused owner, while saying; "I knew that would shut you up, sometimes you're to vain for your own good Draco".
Narcissa also went over to the lady, "She seems to be in shock, what should we do?"
Harry looked around the shop; there was nobody there except them and the owner.
"Well we need our robes today so I say we wake her up. I know a good spell that will kind of hypnotize her and wake her up so we can just tell her what we want. She will do it right away and we will be out of her quickly. No one gets hurt and everybody does exactly what they were supposed to. The spell will wear out after some minutes and she will just keep up with what she was doing the minute the spell broke thinking she just zoned out for a minute. See? Perfect!"
"Sound good to me" said Draco whilst Narcissa nodded in agreement.
Harry turned with a wicked smirk towards the lady, still in shock, and cast the spell.
"Eveneva servi"
A blue light, with suspicious likeness to the Imperious curse shot out from his wand and right to the lady's heart. She sat there for a second before straightening and blinking up at Harry who stood over her and said in an emotional voice, "Yes?"
Harry looked pleased with himself and addressed to waiting lady, "You where just going to get us our robes. We need four duelling robes, two red and golden, two green and silver, three sets of dress robes; black, dark blue and dark green, and some everyday robes; black, green, dark green, silver blue and dark blue with silver edges on the first set and golden on the other."
"Of course" said the owner and stood up to get them their robes. Harry turned to his family, smirking.
"See, worked like clockwork!"
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
A few minutes after found them dangerously near the ice cream parlour. After Draco had gotten his vanilla flavoured ice cream he asked Harry where he had learned the spell.
"When I'm staying with the Dursleys I don't usually have much to do so I often sneak some books from Hogwarts back with me. So before I ran away this summer I was reading this book I had gotten from the restricted section about spell and curses, I think the name was '103 Ways To Get What You Want', it was highly interesting. That was where I learned it, but don't tell anybody, I'm highly suspicious it's some kind of illegal charm. I don't get it, why do Dumbledore keep Dark Art books at England's foremost light school? Does he really want to make more people like Voldemort? It's so ironic that the Dark Lord learnt his first Dark Art spell at Hogwarts, a light school, with the great Albus Dumbledore as a teacher!"
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
After the Malfoy trio (Narcissa, Harry and Draco) had bought all the necessary school supplies and spent nearly an hour drooling over the new Lightning broom (only Harry and Draco, Narcissa liked to keep her feet on the ground) they left for Leaky Cauldron to meet up with Lucius. Well I said they left, it was more like Narcissa dragged Draco and Harry out of the store when the clock struck 3 pm.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
When they walked into the pub they saw Lucius sitting at a table for four, school books and potion ingredients by his side.
"Hey Dad, did you get everything we need?" Asked Draco smiling while sitting down between his mother and Harry. Harry sat down between Draco and Lucius, and Narcissa between Draco and her husband.
Lucius gave his blond son a look and leant towards him and said in a low voice.
"Try to be more formal Draco, people can hear us here and I don't want them to start talking. We were a bit to public before in the street, people have given me strange looks all day".
Draco nodded his understanding, but couldn't left the golden opportunity to tease his after slip.
"They were probably staring at you because they knew you where the father of a beautiful young man named Draco" he said grinning.
Lucius just shook his head bemused and gave Harry the 'so sorry about my son, but they didn't have any medicine for it' look. He then took out the books and showed them to his sons.
"Here they are; two sets of ten school books and also some extra books I got especially for you. They're mostly curse, jinx, charm and spell books. Thought you might like them, some of them are really good to know if you want to prank some one".
"But Father, you've never given me permission to doing pranks before!"
"That is correct Draco, but you didn't have Harry by your side before. Did you honestly think I would let you do pranks together with those morons Crabbe and Goyle? They're just like their fathers, incompetent of doing anything but eat. They would rather give you green hair instead of Harry's trio, and no Malfoy is going around with green hair. Besides, since Harry is the son of a great prankster I don't think I could keep you two away from it, so I decided it would be better if I gave you some good books instead. Are you complaining Draco?"
Draco and Harry smirked at each other.
"By no means Father, thank you".
"Yes thank you Lucius. I take it you did this so that we would be nice to our donor and don't play any pranks on him?" Harry asked as innocent as anybody with a catlike grin on their face can.
Lucius looked offended at first, but then started packing the books away losing the fight for his smile.
"As a mater of fact I was. You're not half as dumb as you look"
"Hey I resent that!"
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The party left the pub to a more suitable place to eat their dinner; they ended up at Diagon Alleys finest restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant quickly recognized the Malfoys, one of his most important guests and nearly ran to them, ready to do whatever they wanted. He noticed they were four today and that he was out of tables for four.
^^Oh my God! What do I do? Mr Malfoy is looking at me, impatiently it seems. Aha, there over by the window is a family of four eating lunch, I can throw them away, after all everybody has to make sacrifices sometimes. The Malfoys need a table for crying out loud!^^
The slightly hysterical owner ran towards the occupied table and asked them to leave, the Malfoys needed their table. They looked at him like he was insane, but left nevertheless, not before throwing a nasty glare at the four Malfoys who had made them leave their lovely lunch though.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The restaurant owner smiled sweetly at them and grabbed the closest waiter.
"Now listen, and listen carefully, those four by the window are highly important guests. The three blond ones are the Malfoy family. The boy with the black hair I don't know, but he might just be some important family's son. Anyway I want you to give them what ever they want with no questions, and always be around for them to call you if they need anything. I don't want any of them angered, is that clear? They're very important guests of mine. Oh and do try to find out who the black haired kid is, but don't make it look like you're actually looking. Now run over there and give them their menus." ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The newly informed waiter came with the menus, trying to get a look at the fourth company of the Malfoys. He looked familiar somehow, but she couldn't place the face and the company of the kid together.
Their food came and all four Malfoys ate and drank without much talk. No respectable pureblood wizard family talked while eating, not in the public at least. Harry was pleased with his choice, the goose and mushroom sauce was delicious. The food at this place was all in all fantastic, he had never been at a place like this before. It was a bit snobbish and the waiter always seemed to look at him, but a nice place even though. The owner obviously knew and cherished the Malfoy's money. He had after thrown out some people so that they could sit. Harry found that extremely funny, he should throw his money around some more. It would be worth all they money he used just to get proper service and respect from people.
Harry looked over at Draco sipping his glass of red wine. Oh how he wanted to spend his time with him at Hogwarts. But Draco was in Slytherin and Harry in Gryffindor. There was so little time for them to be together, their lessons ran over each other. But if Harry was in Slytherin or Draco in Gryffindor then they could be together and spend their time pranking others. No, forget about Draco being in Gryffindor, he would never survive, but Harry could surely be in Slytherin, the hat said it, the hat was always right. The hat had also said in his second year that he should be in Slytherin. Did he think the same now? Yes surely he would, Harry had after all changed sides. Not over to the dark side mind you, but to the grey side. He was more Slytherin now than ever, surely the hat would put him in Slytherin if he tried it on one more time! It was not like he had anything to lose, what would that be? His so called best friends who didn't really give a damn about him, Harry, only the Harry Potter, the Golden Boy? He wouldn't associate with them either way, Gryffindor or Slytherin. He Didn't want to be friends with people who lied to him. Or should he be afraid about losing the headmasters trust, the same man who used him as a tool and manipulated him through out the years? Could he live without Albus Dumbledore's blessing? Hell yes! He didn't need any of them, he had the Malfoys.
¤¤Blasted Gryffindorks¤¤.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
He called for the waiter to refill his own red wine glass. While she filled his glass he lifted his hair away from his face in an irritated manner. Missing the big eyes of the waiter as he was deep in thought.
¤¤What to do, what to do? I can't just simply go to Dumbledore asking for him to resort me, that would be suspicious. But how can I be resorted then? Maybe if all the students where to be resorted, then it would not seem suspicious, me changing houses. They must realise I would change after all I have been through. No one can stay innocent forever. Yes that's it, the whole school have to be resorted, but who could I make that happen? Lucius, wasn't he a school governor? Surely they could make such a decision. Lucius is a highly respected and feared man, he could managed to get to ten others to sign. Yes a nice idea, I will ask Lucius right away, without Draco knowing it. I'd like it to be a surprise¤¤.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
While Harry was thinking about his issue, the waiter sneaked into the owner's office.
"Mr. Peery, Mr. Peery!" she said eagerly.
"Yes, yes, what is it?"
"It's the boy with the Malfoys, Mr. Peery!"
"Yes Cayra, what about the other boy?"
^^Geeses, why must I always get such thick waiters? This will take hours^^. Mr.Peery, the owner thought, annoyed.
"The boy sitting with the Malfoys, Mr. Peery, the one with black hair".
"Yes?"
^^Here we go again, wonder if I will get home before dark?^^
"The boy with the Malfoys Mr. Peery, the one with the black hair, I think it's Harry Potter!"
^^No, I will nev....^^
"What?" he asked, not believing his ears.
"The boy with black ha". Mr. Peery cut her off.
"Yes, yes I heard you the first time. Harry Potter you say? Hmmm, now why would he be associating with the Malfoys? Wasn't he supposed to have disappeared?"
"Disappeared from his home he did, a couple of months ago. He looks very different now though, older. Yes he looks older Mr.Peery"
"Yes, interesting. Cayra go back to them and keep an eye on Mr. Potter will you, and decree Cayra".
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Harry looked up from his glass and caught Lucius's eye. Harry hinted to him that he wanted to talk to him.
Lucius rose, and so did Harry. Narcissa looked at her husband questioningly.
"We are just going to discuss some things. We will be back shortly". And then they walked outside and stopped in a dark corner between the restaurant and another building. Lucius waited for Harry to begin. ¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Harry faced Lucius in the dark and said what he had been thinking about.
"Lucius you may know by now that I like your son very much and would like to be his friend, but there is a problem".
Lucius nodded letting Harry continue.
"I what to spend time with Draco, but since we are in different houses that is almost impossible. One of us needs to change houses and you and me both know that that can't be Draco. So I was thinking I could be resorted, after all the sorting hat wanted me to be in Slytherin in the first place, and I have asked it again and it still wants me in Slytherin. So if I get resorted I will end up in Slytherin no doubt".
Lucius nodded, "Yes I understand that, but how are you going to be resorted? If I'm correct, nobody has ever been resorted".
Harry had the answer for that to.
"Yes, you're right. I can't just go to Dumbledore asking to be resorted, that would be too suspicious. So I need you to do something for me. You are a school governor right? Yes, I need you to get the other ten governors to sign a note saying every student from year fourth and fifth year should be resorted.
The reason you will say is because kids at that age are starting to change and should have a chance to get into a new house if they have changed much. I myself am in fifth. You must also say that it's only fair after all, no one will be sad. If they like the house they where in then they haven't changed and will not be placed in a new house, but it they have, then they will be put in a new house where they will fit in better. It's a win-win case".
Lucius smiled at Harry, amusement shining in his eyes.
"I will see what I can do Harry, but it's a good plan so the chances are high".
Harry beamed at him.
"Thank you Lucius. Oh and don't say anything to Draco, I want it to be a surprise".
Lucius held out his hand to Harry, looking serious.
"It's a deal Mr. Potter, and if I may say so, how dreadfully Slytherin of you!"
Harry took his hand with the same serious face, but on the inside grinning madly.
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, it's a pleasure doing business with you".

They walked up again to Narcissa and Draco, never noticing Cayra, their waiter, hiding behind a box full of paper with a wizard camera in her hands.

I'm hoping for more reviews : )
Oh and here is the plot to a new story I am about to write:
The Black Sheep:
James Potter was not home that Halloween night when Voldemort paid the Potter residence a visit. Only Lily and Harry were home. Voldemort killed Lily with the killing curse, but spared Harry, the one year old child. Harry was left unharmed by Voldemort, and was called from that day on, 'The Boy Who Was Spared.'
Many years later-
Harry Potter, 'The Boy Who Was Spared,' lives safely with his father, his stepmother and his half sister in the Muggle world since Voldemort is still at large.
But he is not his parents' son; he is nothing like the child of two light wizards. He is rebellious and feels that he doesn't fit into the perfect Potter family picture. They like the day, and he likes the night. He dresses in all black and dark natural colours; but they would like to see him in the colour red for a change, the Gryffindor colour like his parents, but Harry isn't like them, and he has no intentions in changing the way he is. He only wishes he could get his father and Janet off his back, and that annoying brat they call his sister.
Harry has few friends, but they are all good friends. He doesn't have only a few friends because he is unpopular, no, it's more correct to say that many people are afraid to speak to him and his friends. Harry has chosen to attend a muggle school even though he is a wizard.
The present.
Harry has gotten his Hogwarts letter; he will finally get away from his dreadfully annoying family. But he will also have to leave his friends and come up with an explanation as for why he's suddenly leaving. Though he doesn't know that one of his best friends had also decided to leave, his friend Blaise Zabini is also a wizard.
The duo will attend Hogwarts together and the public, as they see how 'The Boy Who Was Spared' behaves, will draw conclusions about why the Dark Lord decided to spare this child.
In this plot we will see: wars between the dark and light, Slytherin and Gryffindor and Voldemort and Dumbledore, pranking, teasing, bullying, duelling and much more....
Oh and I going to totally trash Granger, Ron, Dean and of course Dumbledore, basically everything and everyone who is considered 'good', which means that Draco-gorgeous-Malfoy is going to be Harry's second sidekick. So do you think I should go for it, would you read such a story? Give me your answer in a review or email. So long folks : )
Not mine, but hers.

The party left the pub to a more suitable place to eat their dinner; they ended up at Diagon Alleys finest restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant quickly recognized the Malfoys, one of his most important guests and nearly ran to them, ready to do whatever they wanted. He noticed they were four today and that he was out of tables for four.
^^Oh my God! What do I do? Mr Malfoy is looking at me, impatiently it seems. Aha, there over by the window is a family of four eating lunch, I can throw them away, after all everybody has to make sacrifices sometimes. The Malfoys need a table for crying out loud!^^
The slightly hysterical owner ran towards the occupied table and asked them to leave, the Malfoys needed their table. They looked at him like he was insane, but left nevertheless, not before throwing a nasty glare at the four Malfoys who had made them leave their lovely lunch though.

The restaurant owner smiled sweetly at them and grabbed the closest waiter.
"Now listen, and listen carefully, those four by the window are highly important guests. The three blond ones are the Malfoy family. The boy with the black hair I don't know, but he might just be some important family's son. Anyway I want you to give them what ever they want with no questions, and always be around for them to call you if they need anything. I don't want any of them angered, is that clear? They're very important guests of mine. Oh and do try to find out who the black haired kid is, but don't make it look like you're actually looking. Now run over there and give them their menus." ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The newly informed waiter came with the menus, trying to get a look at the fourth company of the Malfoys. He looked familiar somehow, but she couldn't place the face and the company of the kid together.
Their food came and all four Malfoys ate and drank without much talk. No respectable pureblood wizard family talked while eating, not in the public at least. Harry was pleased with his choice, the goose and mushroom sauce was delicious. The food at this place was all in all fantastic, he had never been at a place like this before. It was a bit snobbish and the waiter always seemed to look at him, but a nice place even though. The owner obviously knew and cherished the Malfoy's money. He had after thrown out some people so that they could sit. Harry found that extremely funny, he should throw his money around some more. It would be worth all they money he used just to get proper service and respect from people.
Harry looked over at Draco sipping his glass of red wine. Oh how he wanted to spend his time with him at Hogwarts. But Draco was in Slytherin and Harry in Gryffindor. There was so little time for them to be together, their lessons ran over each other. But if Harry was in Slytherin or Draco in Gryffindor then they could be together and spend their time pranking others. No, forget about Draco being in Gryffindor, he would never survive, but Harry could surely be in Slytherin, the hat said it, the hat was always right. The hat had also said in his second year that he should be in Slytherin. Did he think the same now? Yes surely he would, Harry had after all changed sides. Not over to the dark side mind you, but to the grey side. He was more Slytherin now than ever, surely the hat would put him in Slytherin if he tried it on one more time! It was not like he had anything to lose, what would that be? His so called best friends who didn't really give a damn about him, Harry, only the Harry Potter, the Golden Boy? He wouldn't associate with them either way, Gryffindor or Slytherin. He Didn't want to be friends with people who lied to him. Or should he be afraid about losing the headmasters trust, the same man who used him as a tool and manipulated him through out the years? Could he live without Albus Dumbledore's blessing? Hell yes! He didn't need any of them, he had the Malfoys.
¤¤Blasted Gryffindorks¤¤.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
He called for the waiter to refill his own red wine glass. While she filled his glass he lifted his hair away from his face in an irritated manner. Missing the big eyes of the waiter as he was deep in thought.
¤¤What to do, what to do? I can't just simply go to Dumbledore asking for him to resort me, that would be suspicious. But how can I be resorted then? Maybe if all the students where to be resorted, then it would not seem suspicious, me changing houses. They must realise I would change after all I have been through. No one can stay innocent forever. Yes that's it, the whole school have to be resorted, but who could I make that happen? Lucius, wasn't he a school governor? Surely they could make such a decision. Lucius is a highly respected and feared man, he could managed to get to ten others to sign. Yes a nice idea, I will ask Lucius right away, without Draco knowing it. I'd like it to be a surprise¤¤.

While Harry was thinking about his issue, the waiter sneaked into the owner's office.
"Mr. Peery, Mr. Peery!" she said eagerly.
"Yes, yes, what is it?"
"It's the boy with the Malfoys, Mr. Peery!"
"Yes Cayra, what about the other boy?"
^^Geeses, why must I always get such thick waiters? This will take hours^^. Mr.Peery, the owner thought, annoyed.
"The boy sitting with the Malfoys, Mr. Peery, the one with black hair".
"Yes?"
^^Here we go again, wonder if I will get home before dark?^^
"The boy with the Malfoys Mr. Peery, the one with the black hair, I think it's Harry Potter!"
^^No, I will nev....^^
"What?" he asked, not believing his ears.
"The boy with black ha". Mr. Peery cut her off.
"Yes, yes I heard you the first time. Harry Potter you say? Hmmm, now why would he be associating with the Malfoys? Wasn't he supposed to have disappeared?"
"Disappeared from his home he did, a couple of months ago. He looks very different now though, older. Yes he looks older Mr.Peery"
"Yes, interesting. Cayra go back to them and keep an eye on Mr. Potter will you, and decree Cayra".
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Harry looked up from his glass and caught Lucius's eye. Harry hinted to him that he wanted to talk to him.
Lucius rose, and so did Harry. Narcissa looked at her husband questioningly.
"We are just going to discuss some things. We will be back shortly". And then they walked outside and stopped in a dark corner between the restaurant and another building. Lucius waited for Harry to begin. ¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Harry faced Lucius in the dark and said what he had been thinking about.
"Lucius you may know by now that I like your son very much and would like to be his friend, but there is a problem".
Lucius nodded letting Harry continue.
"I what to spend time with Draco, but since we are in different houses that is almost impossible. One of us needs to change houses and you and me both know that that can't be Draco. So I was thinking I could be resorted, after all the sorting hat wanted me to be in Slytherin in the first place, and I have asked it again and it still wants me in Slytherin. So if I get resorted I will end up in Slytherin no doubt".
Lucius nodded, "Yes I understand that, but how are you going to be resorted? If I'm correct, nobody has ever been resorted".
Harry had the answer for that to.
"Yes, you're right. I can't just go to Dumbledore asking to be resorted, that would be too suspicious. So I need you to do something for me. You are a school governor right? Yes, I need you to get the other ten governors to sign a note saying every student from year fourth and fifth year should be resorted.
The reason you will say is because kids at that age are starting to change and should have a chance to get into a new house if they have changed much. I myself am in fifth. You must also say that it's only fair after all, no one will be sad. If they like the house they where in then they haven't changed and will not be placed in a new house, but it they have, then they will be put in a new house where they will fit in better. It's a win-win case".
Lucius smiled at Harry, amusement shining in his eyes.
"I will see what I can do Harry, but it's a good plan so the chances are high".
Harry beamed at him.
"Thank you Lucius. Oh and don't say anything to Draco, I want it to be a surprise".
Lucius held out his hand to Harry, looking serious.
"It's a deal Mr. Potter, and if I may say so, how dreadfully Slytherin of you!"
Harry took his hand with the same serious face, but on the inside grinning madly.
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, it's a pleasure doing business with you".

They walked up again to Narcissa and Draco, never noticing Cayra, their waiter, hiding behind a box full of paper with a wizard camera in her hands.

Oh and here is the plot to a new story I am about to write:
The Black Sheep:
James Potter was not home that Halloween night when Voldemort paid the Potter residence a visit. Only Lily and Harry were home. Voldemort killed Lily with the killing curse, but spared Harry, the one year old child. Harry was left unharmed by Voldemort, and was called from that day on, 'The Boy Who Was Spared.'
Many years later-
Harry Potter, 'The Boy Who Was Spared,' lives safely with his father, his stepmother and his half sister in the Muggle world since Voldemort is still at large.
But he is not his parents' son; he is nothing like the child of two light wizards. He is rebellious and feels that he doesn't fit into the perfect Potter family picture. They like the day, and he likes the night. He dresses in all black and dark natural colours; but they would like to see him in the colour red for a change, the Gryffindor colour like his parents, but Harry isn't like them, and he has no intentions in changing the way he is. He only wishes he could get his father and Janet off his back, and that annoying brat they call his sister.
Harry has few friends, but they are all good friends. He doesn't have only a few friends because he is unpopular, no, it's more correct to say that many people are afraid to speak to him and his friends. Harry has chosen to attend a muggle school even though he is a wizard.
The present.
Harry has gotten his Hogwarts letter; he will finally get away from his dreadfully annoying family. But he will also have to leave his friends and come up with an explanation as for why he's suddenly leaving. Though he doesn't know that one of his best friends had also decided to leave, his friend Blaise Zabini is also a wizard.
The duo will attend Hogwarts together and the public, as they see how 'The Boy Who Was Spared' behaves, will draw conclusions about why the Dark Lord decided to spare this child.
In this plot we will see: wars between the dark and light, Slytherin and Gryffindor and Voldemort and Dumbledore, pranking, teasing, bullying, duelling and much more....
Oh and I going to totally trash Granger, Ron, Dean and of course Dumbledore, basically everything and everyone who is considered 'good', which means that Draco-gorgeous-Malfoy is going to be Harry's second sidekick. So do you think I should go for it, would you read such a story? Give me your answer in a review or email. So long folks : )
