Harry reminded himself that for now he needed to be Harry Potter but as he entered the school he knew it would be hard. Other then Neville and Luna he had no idea who he could trust. He wished the twins, his cousins, and more of his quidditch buddies were still in school. He had been surprised to learn Ron had done so bad on his OWLS he had been stripped of his prefect badge and Harry was given it, having a feeling Severus may have had some convincing hand in that. Sixth years had a prefect room to themselves and at least he would have some privacy. The twins and his Papa had given him some items which would ensure his room could not be bugged and that the headmaster could not spy on him, or his thins be tampered with. At least in his room he knew he would feel safe and not have to worry. The photo album from his Papa and the photo from George sat next to his bedside table, the picture looking like a picture of James and Lily if anyone else looked at it.

Harry had found comfort in the fact that Lucius, Remus and Severus were all at the head table during the feast. Draco and a few others in his house, Neville and Luna were there as well. He had been assured they would watch his back though Harry thought back to the day when he was sorted. The hat had wanted to make him Slytherin and Harry had begged it not to. He realized it must have had problems for he was Salazar's heir from birth and Godric's since the blood adoption. He had happy years in Gryffindor and Katie was still there for quidditch, but he wished he had not allowed the bias of Ron to rub off on him.

He was reminded though when he started classes that he would have classes with all students in that class because of NEWTS. Draco but also Hermione were in all his classes except they were taking runes and not herbology. Ron had only passed three classes, as bad as the twins, and unlike the twins who had charms, transfiguration and DADA, even with the DA Ron had failed all the hard ones including DADA. He was taking divination, history and care of magical creatures now.

In potions he had been paired with Draco under the excuse Severus was pairing weaker students with stronger to save his classroom from blowing up. Though Harry was one of the weaker among those who actually made it into NEWTS, surprised he got an O, it had been of course a way for Harry and Draco to be close together.

Ron was not happy at the end of the first week of classes. "I have got detentions all weekend from both those Death Eaters. They are not even trying to be fair."

Harry thought like pointing out Ron had hexed a student from behind for bumping into him. "Go to McGonagall, maybe she can do something about it."

It was a laugh for the woman never played favourites with her house and there was no way she would have helped. She may have helped if the men had been unfair, but Ron had definitely deserved his detentions. Ron would not go to her for he knew he stood the chance of more detentions then he already had, if he went to her. The woman did not take kindly to people trying to get out of detentions that they deserved and would have likely extended them for a week.

Harry had been given a detention by Severus as well but he had been told to earn one. Albus was not making Harry have his occulemency any more, and Severus needed an excuse to have Harry come and spend time with him. Tom was trusting him and Lucius to train his son while Harry had to be back at school.

Hermione looked at Harry. "I think that you should go to her at least. I mean Draco deserved a detention as much as you if you got one for that potion."

Harry smirked. "She likely would agree with you but it would mean me watching Draco read a quidditch book while I was cleaning cauldrons."

She was reminded and nodded that Draco of course was Severus godson and Severus was definitely partial to his own house. She thought Severus might not go that far of course but Draco would likely have gotten off light. Besides she knew Harry had a point bout not going to Minerva. It was try out weekends for quidditch and he could not afford to miss being there, he had been made captain of the team as well this year. Harry had barely thought about quidditch with everything that had been going on that summer but he thought that with the rest of his life turned on his head, quidditch would be a relief for him.

Hermione was the only one who did not have detention that night after dinner. Ron had been assigned to go and clean toilets with Filch even though he had received detention from Lucius for the night, but Harry had loudly been told to come to the potions class. But he was soon led through into Severus' private rooms.

Lucius was there as well and smiled. "Your Papa sends his love and reminds you to write in the back pages of your book this weekend."

The back pages were a two way journal for him with his dad. "I promise I will. I have missed him as much as he has me."

Though both men doubted that for they knew Tom was in panic mode as well as worried, they knew Tom would be relieved to her from his son. Tom knew he was safe for he had people watching Fabian, but he wanted to hear from his son himself. They had known sending owls would be too dangerous to be intercepted so his dad had made sure to include the part in the photo album so the two of them could write back and forth when ever they wanted to. Harry had meant to for the past three days but he had not wanted his dad to worry something was wrong since he was writing so soon. He hated pretending around his false friends, but he was safe.

They could tell he was a bit distracted so they took it a bit easy on him through his practice that night. Severus just tested the basic shield he had with would prevent the headmaster from knowing he knew about his true identity or what was happening now. Albus of course could not learn about the training either.

Harry stopped them when Lucius apologized as they finished for Harry was exhausted. "It was better then all of the detentions of having to clean cauldrons."

Severus shook his head when Harry was about to leave. "You know to make your detention look real I could still have you clean some cauldrons out there."

Harry shot them a nasty look but Lucius assured Harry that Severus had only been joking about it, if only for they were scared of his dad. As Harry slipped out he could not deny becoming so close to both men still seemed odd but he found himself enjoying his time with them, even with this new training. He had to admit allowing the men such close contact with his mind and inner thoughts felt a bit intimate but he for some reason felt at peace around them.
