Because I hate when people don't finish their stories, I am putting up this next chapter instead of making lesson plans for school. Hope you enjoy even if you don't I'm going to keep writing.



"More Chocolate?" Dumbledore asked as Draco sat down in his office.

Draco took the confection offered even though Madam Pomfrey had stuffed everyone full of chocolate before kicking them out of the medical wing.

"Based on that sign of affection, I take it things are going well between you and Harry."

Draco nodded slightly embarrassed. In the past few weeks he had shown more emotions then he had in the past 16 years.

"Well I have to say that happened soon then I expected but good good." Dumbledore was almost talking to himself. He coughed. "You and Harry must be careful. Voldemort is still after both of you. You'll be safe here but I fear something is coming." Dumbledore waved his hand. "I did not bring you in here to frighten you, everyone has had enough of that for one day."

"The reason you are here, " Dumbledore began again. "It because I have heard you have not been sleeping in your house."

Draco nodded again. He found his voice and spoke, "I'm I'm not like them anymore, I don't belong there. Ever since. Ever since Lucious dies, I can't be with other like him."

Draco sighed, it was the truth, he didn't belong in Sytherin any more too much had changed. His family and fortune was gone, Voldemort was after him but not like before Voldemort didn't want him as a servant he wanted him dead, and he was in love with Harry Potter. In two short months his entire world hand flip-flopped, leaving him scared and confused.

"Draco." Dumbledore had brought him back from his thoughts. "I've talked to the ministry and the heads of all the houses in Hogwarts and it has been decided that tomorrow morning you will put on the sorting hat in front of the student body."

Draco looked confused but then smiled.

"Keep in mind." Dumbledore interrupted his starting thoughts. "A resorting hasn't been done for some time, the sorting hat may put you right back in Sytherin. However I have great faith this will not be the case."

Draco was also sure, he wanted to run and tell Harry, he would be out of Sytherin. Ravenclaw, Hugglepuff, Maybe even Gryffindor didn't matter.

"Thank you." Draco said.

"You should get some sleep." Dumbledore stated. Draco rose from his seat. "One moment, Draco there is still one question we must address. Draco remained standing but gave a quizzical look. "Since you no longer resemble you surname, you will need another."

Draco thought for a long moment. It was his own choice, the second real choice he's ever made on his own; he ran his fingers through his hair. "Argentum."

Dumbledore nodded and the boy was dismissed.

Draco Argentum. Silver Dragon.

Harry was no longer in the hospital area. Draco sucked in a breath. Harry would have to be surprised with everyone else. Draco then went to the empty classroom and fell asleep.

Harry had left Madam Pomfrey after reassuring her for the fiftieth time he was fine. Well not really he had a stomach ach from so much chocolate and there was a slight throbbing in his head. But that may be because he got up so quickly when Madam Pomfrey finally told him he could leave. Harry rushed out wanting to find Draco but he stopped. He really should talk to Ron and Hermione. He owned them some explanation.



As Harry walked into the common room greeted by angry voices.

"I'm not happy about it either Ron but this is Harry." He heard Hermione say.

"Sure that why YOU hugged DRACO." Ron sounded truly pissed.

Harry walked into the room. "Guys."

"Look who it is, God Harry how could you? Draco fucking Malfoy? I mean what were you thinking?" Ron said.

"Ron, I didn't mean for it to happen but you can't help who you fall in love with."

"Bull Shit!! This is MALFOY."

"Ron come on Harry knows what he's doing, Harry do you love him?" Hermione stepped in.

"Yes." Harry answered.

"I can't believe your defending him." Ron stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Harry saw that his fists were clenched; Ron was trying to control his temper.

"Ron please." Harry spoke quietly. "I can't loss you as a friend over this but Draco has changed, he's not like he was before. I really love him. I'm not asking you to like him. I'm just asking you to except my feelings and trust me."

Ron stood silent. His hands fell to his sides. "Harry you are my best friend. But this this is too much for me right now. I can't. I need." Ron took a deep breath. "I need to go to bed." Ron turned and went up to his bed.

Harry took a step towards him, Hermione grabbed his arm. "He needs time alone Harry."

Harry nodded. " Are you really OK with this?"

Hermione sat down. "Harry, it's hard to accept Draco as a part of your life. I mean as a good part of your life. It's sudden, it's weird but if it's truly what you want, I'll make an effort to understand. And I'm sure Ron will come around to."

Harry wobbled a bit. Hermione stood. "You all right Harry?"

" Yeah just tired." Harry started to walk to the sleeping area. "Hermione, Thanks."

Hermione smiled. "Goodnight Harry."

Harry was asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.



I don't know what I'm going to do with the whole hunting of Draco. I'm in kind of a block so I'll just deal with the relationship thing first. The next chapter will be Draco's sorting that happens the next day, which is also Halloween. November may go by quickly.
