Draco lay by a tree near the lake with his eyes closed and the heat from the sun covering his face, it sure was warm for a November day. He had his hands behind his head and he listened to the sweet sound of the soft wind making the leaves, that for some reason was left, in the trees dance. He just lay there with no care in the world at that particular moment, and all alone.

All of a sudden, the sun disappeared. When Draco opened his eyes to see what was going on, he saw the dark silhouettes of two tall people standing over him with their arms crossed.

Draco heavily sighed and got up to lean on his elbows.

"Potter, Weasley," he greeted with a sneer.

"Malfoy," the boys replied with a hint of disgust in their words.

"What brings me this..." he eyed them up and down and raised his eyebrows. "Eh, pleasure? I have better things to do you know," he continued and rolled his eyes before laying back and closing them again.

"Stop thinking you're better than us Malfoy," Harry said lazily.

"Yeah, cause no one can be better than the fabulous Golden Boy and his carrot for a Sidekick," Draco replied calmly with a smirk. Ron made a move to attack the blonde boy.

"No, Ron, he's not worth it," Harry said to stop his friend. Draco opened one eye and glanced at them.

"Perhaps I was wrong, have you two finally realized your inner feelings for each other? Is that why Granger is so grumpy? Won't her beloved Weasel return her feelings?" Draco ginned even wider when Ron turned a deep shade of red while Harry kept the redhead away from attacking Draco, but couldn't help but to glare down at the blonde.

"You shouldn't talk Malfoy," he spat, (rather un-Harryish , if I got to say so myself)"At least we have friends, unlike you. Not even your own family loves you." Draco saw red and slowly got up. "Your father put you there, and your mother let him. None of your friends dare to speak to you, and everyone think you are a coward." Harry finished with a slightly evil grin. Draco punched him and pointed his wand at Ron to keep him from doing anything stupid.

"You don't know what you're talking about Potter," Draco angrily whispered and spat out the last word as if it was something poisonous. "You have no idea what happened in there, nor do you know who did what," he growled. "For your information you scar-headed freak, my mother saved me. She put her own life in danger to get me out of there, so if you even think about talking about my mother like that, I will kill you," Draco glared furiously at Harry, who still was on the ground in shock.

"Don't you think I know how it feels?" Harry said, and wiped his nose.

"No! No, you don't!" Draco yelled, "You didn't even get to know your bloody mother! You can't even remember her!"

Draco was so furious he didn't know what to do, but to storm away.

After only about ten steps, he felt two different spells hit him in the back, which made him fall and drop his wand. The next thing he knew he was attacked with fists and kicks. He curled up into a ball to keep his head and ribs out of the worst beating, what else could he do? They were two against one, he had lost his wand and he was already on the ground.

"Harry! Ron! What on earth are you two doing!" Draco heard a distance voice of none other than Hermione Granger. Of course. The kicking and beating ended and Draco peeked out between his arms. His whole body was sore, he felt blood drip from various places and he couldn't move.

He tried to listen to what was being said around him, but he could hear nothing.
