A/N: For copyright please see chapter one. Sorry again for not posting but I had lost my keyboard and could not type this onto my phone for those who are reading. Some Albus Dumbledore bashing, and maybe Ron too. Sorry, it's a long one.
As usual, I wake long before my parents. So, I write a letter to Harry.
Dear Harry,
I have a new familiar, a snake. A runespoor to be exact. I think you would be able to help me name her. Separate names for each head. If you don't know what I'm talking about you can always ask Severus or just go to the library.
Anyway, how are you? I've not been doing much here.
I have attached a gift for you. I really hope you like it. When I saw it, I knew that I had to get it.
I hope that you're enjoying your holiday at the castle with the Weasley family.
Please don't cause too much trouble.
My family house elf really wants to meet you. Dobby, our family elf, and Tippy, my elf, nearly fainted when I told them that we're friends. Funny enough, so did my snake. I thought that weird as she's just a hatchling yet.
If you didn't get me anything, that's okay. I'm just happy just being able to know you and to be your boyfriend, Also, Father doesn't know about us. Just for future reference.
Father says that you would be able to spend Easter holiday here if he gets everything in order at the ministry.
I miss you and hope that you aren't missing me too much. I can't wait for us to be back at Hogwarts so that I can see you.
You'll probably get this before all the Weasleys are up. I'm sending this letter with Dobby. If he gets on your nerves just send Dobby back to me..
You can send your letter back with Dobby or just use Hedwig.
At the new star-of-term feast, would you sit by me?
Has Severus started making you take potions yet? Don't worry, I know they taste horrible bt they work, I promise.
Only one more week. I can hardly wait to see you again.
Draco❤Malfoy
"Dobby?" I call out softly.
"Yes, young Master Draco?"
"Can you bring this letter to Harry Potter? He's at Hogwarts. You'll find him, I know it. And don't drive him mad. Be polite, like you are to me. Okay?"
"Yes, young Master Draco. Thank you, Thank you." There's a soft pop and he's gone.
Almost two hours later, Dobby comes back with a letter from Harry. Finally
Dear Draco,
I can try to help you with your new snake. How did you know that I would even be able to help? I did go to the library to look up runespoors. They are fascinating and I can't wait to meet her.
I'm doing alright. I'm just hanging with the Weasleys, but you already knew that.
I absolutely love your gift. I've sent a gift along with this letter as can't open it until you open all your gifts from your family and other friends. It's the rule so get over it besides if you do open it early, I will just ask Dobby. Now, stop pouting, you'll get wrinkles. I'm not pouting.
My holiday here is okay, it's a bit strange that there's hardly anyone here. At least it's peaceful.
I promise that we aren't causing too much trouble, just wandering and being lazy.
Dobby is really nice. Sorry about this taking so long. I was interrupted. I offered Dobby a seat and he started to cry from gratitude but he's okay now. He thanked me a few times. Yes, only a few times, so lower your eyebrow. How did he know?
Of course I got you something. I can't get my boyfriend nothing for Christmas. I had to owl order it, seeing as we're not allowed in Hogsmeade for two more years. Fred and George picked up forms at the last trip before break. So no rule breaking there.
Yeah, Professor Snape says that Lucius is still fighting the ministry because he doesn't want Dumbledore to know but the minister wants to tell him. It's going to be a process.
Your letter showed up at the perfect time. I had just finished reading it when Fred and George came flying in to wake up Ron. My peace officially disrupted.
No, Dobby didn't get on my nerves, I promise. I will take Veritaserum to prove it.
I'm missing you too. The nightmares are really bad again bet the twins taught me the silencing charm ages ago. I put it up every night.
Of course I'm going to sit by you at the feast, after my re-sort of course. Otherwise I would have to face your wrath, and I don't want to. (I laugh at this)
Yes, I'm on nutrient potions. They do taste terrible, but I need them. Also I have to take height restorers. I had to go through a complete physical, totally embarrassing,
I tried to get out of all of it but they (McGonagall and Snape) made me. Actually they bribed me, I have a weakness for certain things, and I won't be telling them, yet.
Thank you for the pendant. A dragon with emerald eyes? Totally me. I hope you like mine as much as I like yours.
Your dad is totally cool with me moving in? I can't wait.
I don't think that I can trust Dumbledore. He somehow just found out that Lucius is trying to get custody of me. he interrupted my writing. He insists that you're a 'dark' family. Ron tries too, but I yelled at him and he probably won't talk to me for a couple days. I told him that if he has a problem with who I want to be friends with, then he and I won't be friends anymore. Hermione says she's willing to give you a chance.
Anyway, the twins are driving me mad, so I better go.
LOVE,
Harry Potter
I read it three times. I can't believe Dumbledore. I mean, I sort of knew that he's not as kind as he appears, but this is too much. I will have to tell Father.
"Draco, darling? Do you want breakfast?" Mother asks from the other side of my door.
"On my way, Mother." I hide Harry's letter in my trunk. I go downstairs and even Father appears to be in a good mood. Not for much longer though.
"Draco, son, I have some great news," Father says as I sit down.
"I have terrible news, Father."
Mother and Father look at each other, then at me. I gulp.
"Well it's best to get the bad news out of the way. Then the good news, to cheer us up." Mother is trying to make this better.
"Well, we're gonna need it. I have two pieces of bad news." Father frowns and Mother looks sad.
"Go on. No matter what, you will not be in trouble, I promise."
"Want the bad news or the really bad news?" They just stare at me. "Okay, in that order then. First off Dumbledore knows about us trying to get custody of Harry." Father swears and Mother grabs his arm (and not because he swore). "The really bad news is that Dumbledore is trying to convince Harry that we're a 'dark' family."
Mother's eyes widen and Father turns red.
"THAT BASTARD! HE KNOWS NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS SPREADING LIES ABOUT MY FAMILY!"
"LUCIUS!" This is the first time that I have ever heard Mother raise her voice. Completely terrifying.
We wait a while for him to calm down. Mother has Topper, another house elf, bring Father some firewhiskey while another house elf cleans up the glass as Father's anger broke some picture from the wall.
"Well, there is nothing he can do about it now. I received a letter early this morning that we are now Harry's family. I also have permission to take Harry for the rest of the holiday, if he wishes. He'll need new things, correct?" I nod. "Very well. Draco if you wish to accompany me, you'd better go get ready. When you are done we will floo to Severus' office."
I run up the stairs and into my room. I close and lock the door. I put on my favorite dark wash jeans and a black t-shirt. I also put on one of my nicer robes, nothing too nice though.
I race back down the stairs.
"While you two are gone, I'm going to pick up some things for Harry."
"He likes green," I blurt.
"Ok, green. Thank you, dear. Go and be safe."
I grab some floo powder and throw it into the fireplace. I step into the green flames, " Severus Snape's office, Hogwarts."
