It was Draco's leaving day and things were going well, Draco actually looked happy to be going home with the Carter family, probably happier than Severus ever remembered him being. Harry was looking less than thrilled but he would get over it within the week.

Harry and Draco's sessions together were being run on Sundays and Wednesdays. Draco would help Harry with his reading, writing and basic maths and Harry would tell Draco about things such as shopping, making sandwiches, running his own bath and helping him understand that although the Carters were amazing there would always be a risk of being moved on by social services for any reason they could think of. This was not necessarily true but did serve the purpose of preparing him for any future disappointments.

Harry and Draco were sat playing on the computer in the lounge when Draco's foster family arrived. Andi and Severus were on duty to make sure the process ran smoothly and all the other kids were in classes. Mr Carter was carrying the little boy on his hip, Harry thought his name was Thomas or Timothy or something but couldn't remember, the woman was the image of a mother with a long flowy, flowery skirt, shoulder length brown hair and a green cardigan which was buttoned at the front with two buttons. She smelled like lavander and instantly Harry wished he was going with this family too. Draco caught sight of them and ran to hug Mrs Carter who had a massive smile on her face, she told him how handsome he looked in his new clothes. Draco blushed before saying hello to the two males smiling at him.

"Harry, come meet The Carters" Draco called over to where he had left Harry on the computer. Andi was sat whispering to him.

"This is Draco's day, we should be happy for him, you'll see him again I'm sure" Andi whispered to him.

"Hello Mr Carter, Mrs Carter, it's nice to meet you" Harry said with eyes examining his trainers and voice polite and hushed. It broke everyone's heart to see this poor boy looking so jealous and heartbroken at his friend getting his happy ever after.

"It's lovely to meet you too Harry, Draco has told us so much about you, you sound like a very good friend." Mrs Carter said. "Would it be ok if we brought Draco to visit occasionally?" she asked him gently. Harry nodded, he had tears in his eyes but he refused to let anyone see them and refused to let them fall.

"We'll just go and get Draco's things and let you boys say goodbye, Draco, we will see you in Bill's office when your done here." Mr Carter told them leading his wife away before she could take Harry with them too.

"I guess I'll see you next Friday evening then if we can clear it with Bill." Draco said trying to be positive. "Hey don't be sad, you won't have to share all the girls now will you, you have them all to yourself." Draco joked making Harry laugh, the tears vanished as he told himself to man up.

"Cool, see you then Dray!" Harry told him with a smile. The boys high fived and with one look over his shoulder as he walked Draco left for his new life. His new life until his mother was found anyway.

"How you doing Harry?" Andi asked him cautiously.

"Ok" he replied with a sad smile. "Hey Sev what lesson we got next? Have we got time for a game of pool before we go?" Harry asked, his upset completely forgotten.

"We have art history in twenty minutes so a quick game is on the cards." Severus replied after checking his watch. Andi smiled at the pair before telling them she would see them later and off she went.

"You like her!" Harry teased him.

"I don't dislike her" Severus replied.

"Nooooooo, you like her like her" Harry teased with a grin. "I can tell you do. Don't worry I can keep a secret. I won't tell" Harry told him seriously.

"Just hit the ball timewaster" Severus bit out.

The game was smooth and finished within the allocated time and soon they were sat in History, the class were studying the Tudors and Craig, one of the older boys from B wing was living it up at their fake banquet, Harry and Elisha had started a food fight earlier so the room was a mess but none of it mattered to the class sat munching on chicken legs and potatoes. Craig whispered something to Harry which changed the atmosphere in the room, no one heard what it was but Harry was suddenly very interested in something beside the teacher's desk. Craig nodded his head Harry's way before going over to Ryan and starting a fight which to Severus looked staged but nonetheless as the closest guard on hand he was required to try and separate the boys with the other members of the restraint team. Harry had taken the distraction to steal the teachers, phone and wallet and after finding some painkillers and a piece of string he took them as well. He could always try and sell them on later.

After the fighting boys were escorted out of the room and class was dismissed Harry left the room with all his new possessions well hidden under his clothing he made his way to the bathroom outside the lunch hall to wash up for lunch putting the wallet and phone in one of the shared toilet cubicles for Ryan to pick up during lunch. He stashed the pills and rope in his shoes and left with Severus to have his lunch. It was during lunch that his teacher had discovered her belongings missing and the unit was on lockdown. All the kids were being confined to their rooms and each kid was going to have their room checked and a version of a strip search which was slightly less invasive for minors.

Ryan and Craig had the phone and the wallet but unfortunately Harry had the pills and the string which were both banned items. He was going to be in huge trouble soon.

Severus knocked on his door wearing rubber gloves which meant he had been doing room searches, "Time for your search Harry, if you go with Andi and Trey, Bill and I will search your room." As a last angry front Harry shot at them "Your not gonna find anything, dunno why your bothering" Harry left, following Andi down the corridor. On Severus suspicions they had already searched Craig and Ryans rooms and found the phone and the wallet but the painkillers were still missing and Severus was hoping he was wrong and Harry hadn't kept them but he had a feeling he was about to find the missing painkillers. The room search lasted fifteen minutes and even though they found Harry's stash of stolen food from the lunch hall they hadn't found the painkillers which made Severus breath a sigh of relief as they left Harry's room.

"Don't get ahead of yourself Severus we may not have found anything in his room but they haven't brought him back yet." Bill warned his colleague.

Severus turned to defend the boy but his face dropped as he watched a very angry looking Andi marching Harry along the corridor who looked furious. Andi let go of Harry's arm at his door and he walked in without a word. Andi shut the door before turning to Bill and Severus and taking from her pockets a piece of string and a packet of painkillers. "They were in his shoes" was all she offered the two before she strode away to let B wing out of their lockdown.

Severus ran his hand through his hair roughly as he stared at the boy lying on his bed reading as if nothing had happenedSeverus sighed before losing his temper and kicking the wall roughly. Bill put a hand on his shoulder, "Go take a breather Severus I'll deal with Harry, you followed protocol, it's not your fault these things happen, without Draco he was bound to slip up it was better sooner rather than later, hopefully it won't impact his time here, he will have to have his rewards taken away though, be aware that in the coming days he's going to try more risky behaviour like this, just keep your cool." Bill told him before calling Harry out of his room to take him to his office.

Severus and Andi sat in the staff room in silence disappointed in one Harry Potter.
