 Sorry for: getting I'm a little teapot stuck in Mandrco's head oh and the whole Cerberus thing, yet I knew about the Fluffy connection.

What about what I want?

The next morning the Great Hall was  hive of excitement, everyone was waiting to hear what Drake's fate would be. They all fell silent as he and Kelly entered and every single eye followed him to the exchange students' table. Then loud whispering broke out.

Drake sat down next to Naska and reached for the cornflakes (a/n: personally I don't eat breakfast but Drake just seem like a cornflake guy) "Morning, did you sleep well?" Naska asked and picked up a spoon to fiddle with. Drake gave her a secretive smile "Maybe" he said and Teardrop merely yawned. "What's Gryffindor like?" Kelly asked as she poured milk over the porridge. "Their great, the Weasley twins threw me a party, like I could eat more after last night's feast." She said and giggles erupted from around the table. "Why aren't you eating Naska?" Dante, the Italian, asked. Naska looked at him with sincerity in her big brown eyes "I don't do breakfast." She said and then she could keep her face straight and started laughing. "I'm kidding." She said and took the cornflakes from Drake.

All went pretty good until Snape decided that Drake looked too happy. He stood up from his place at the teachers' table and strolled over to Drake. "You remember what I told you? Stay away from Potter if you know what's good for you." He glared at Naska as if to say that Drake should stay away from her too and then stalked off.

When Snape was gone Harry jumps up from his place and walks over to Drake. "Hi." He said "Hi" Drake answered. "Um, I don't want to sound pushy but stay away from Draco, he's father's a death eater." Harry whispered to Drake. Drake's eyes widen and he stares at Harry in horror. "I'll see you in class."

As soon as Harry left Draco comes over. "Drake, I'm looking forward to see you in class. I checked my schedule and it turned out we have all but 2 classes together." This, even though it was nicer than the other two visits, pushed Drake over the edge. Drake jumps up and runs out of the room.

"Was it something I said?" Draco asked feeling hurt. "I don't think it was you." Naska answered but Kelly only bit her lip and went after Drake. Draco wanted to follow but Naska grabbed his arm. "Just give her a few minutes alone with him." She said. Draco picked up Teardrop, who had settled herself on the floor under Drake's chair and was now looking around for her master. He held her to the side of his face and look longingly at the door.

Outside the great hall Drake stood against the wall, fighting back tears. He was so confused. He was not allowed near Harry or Draco but both wanted him to sit with him and he didn't have other friends yet. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder and opened his eyes to see Kelly before him. "Are you alright?" She asked looking up at him worried. "I don't think so. Everyone is so busy trying to protected me that nobody cares what I want." Drake answered with I small sigh "I'm so confused." He adds.

"So what you gonna do?" Kelly asks. "I don't know. I wish everything would just sort itself out. I hate having to deal with things on my own." He ran his hands over his hair and rested them on his shoulders. "Hey, you're no alone." Kelly says and gives Drake her best smile. "Thanx, but I could sure use a hug."

She wraps her arms around him and they hug each other. "Everything will work out, you'll see." She says. Draco, who couldn't wait any longer, walks out of the Great Hall only to see Drake and Kelly hugging. He stops dead in his tracks and a great sadness, like his heart being ripped apart fills him. As he watches them a tear runs down his smooth cheek. –No he's mine- the thinks before he wipes it away.
