Draco

" Well…." Harry said.

" What's the catch? I mean there must be something you're going to do to my friends or me. I mean you don't just wake up one day and say ' I think I'll become friends with my enemy.'" Harry told me.

I looked at Potter as if he was crazy. I couldn't believe this; my evil plan was going to backfire! Maybe if I told him there wasn't any catch, he would believe me. " No catch," I told him," I'm going to stop being rude to you and start treating you like a human being and not like a piece of trash."

Potter looked at me skeptically and then agreed. Just then Hermione came up to us. I quickly pretended to be looking for a book. I was positioned so that I could watch them." Have you found it?" she asked.

"Yep," Harry said.

He then showed her the notebook that I had read just an hour ago. " Thanks, Harry." She said.

Then Ron walked up to Harry and Hermione. " Where was that thing anyway?" he asked.

" Oh on a table," Harry replied.

They then left the library. After that I went to my common room and went looking for my Potions book. While I was looking for it, an owl flew onto my bed. Attached to it was a letter from mommy dearest. It read:

Dear Draco,

How are you? Sorry about not writing to you in a while. Sirius and I have been busy. We went to Paris on our honeymoon. The pictures are attached. Hope you like them. If any of your friends want a copy just owl me and I'll send you one to give to them. The reason I'm writing to you is that the adoption process is finished and you and Harry are now officially brothers. Oh, and Sirius says hi.

Draco it really wouldn't hurt for you to start calling Sirius dad would it? After all Harry is calling us mum and dad and he had parents once and neither of us are his biological parents. Just a thought dear, I'm not trying to play favorites or yell at you.

Love,

Mum

I made a face. She made me sick. She and my father went on a cruise for a honeymoon but- well I couldn't say if she told everyone because I hadn't been born yet. Oh, well who cares? This bites; Harry and I were now brothers! And another thing there was no way I was calling that Sirius dude dad. Maybe when my real father died but not until then.

Harry

Hermione, Ron and I walked to the common room together. I knew I would have to tell them about my little deal with Draco. I honestly thought he was being honest and if they couldn't see- well never mind it doesn't really matter. " Uh, Ron, Hermione?" I said getting there attention.

" What?" they said in unison.

" The thing is that Draco asked for a truce today. We agreed to be friends and get along. Oh, and he'll probably hang out with us when we go to Hogsmeade." I told them.

" Oh, that is great!" Hermione squealed.

" For you! You're the one who has a crush on Mr. Dragon breath! Harry! How could you? He's the enemy! You don't go around making friends with the enemy! It's just wrong!" Ron yelled.

He then stomped off. He had done a good job getting both Hermione and me in one breath. I sunk in a chair regretting my decision. After an hour of thinking long and hard I decided to turn in for the night.

Before I could go to bed an owl flew up to me. It looked like on of Mrs. Black's owls. I extracted the letter. It read:

Dear Harry,

How are you? I do hope things are going fine. Sorry about not writing in a while. Sirius and I went on our honeymoon. We went to Paris. I have sent you pictures, which are attached. If Ron and Hermione want some owl me and I'll send them their own copies. Anyway the reason of this letter is that adoption process is complete and you and Draco are now officially brothers.

Love,

Mum

P.S. Sirius sends his love

I put the letter away and went to bed. When I woke up and looked at the clock, I had five minutes to eat breakfast. " There goes breakfast," I muttered.

I decided to just get ready for Defense against the Dark Arts. I ran all the way to class and bumped into someone. When I looked up I saw it was actually two someones. The someones were Ron and Hermione. Ron gave me the death glare when he saw that I had been the person to knock him down. We all got to our feet and then I asked," Aren't you guys going the wrong way?"

" We- actually I decided to make sure you didn't miss class. I just dragged Ron along," Hermione informed me.

" Ron look-" I started to say but was cut off when Ron started humming I'm dreaming of a White Christmas.

I have hated that song ever since Dudley joined the school chorus. That was a song they sang every year. Every day Dudley would come home and sing it. Let me tell you one thing. Dudley is an awful singer. " Oh, yeah! That's real mature Ron! How old are you? 5?" Hermione asked. Ron just glared her. By now he had stopped humming that awful Christmas song. I then walked into Lupin's classroom. Ron made sure to sit 3 rows away from me.

DRACO

I walked down to the Great Hall to get some food. I had had a long day of classes. All of a sudden I saw harry. He looked at me and yelled," hey, Draco!"

I walked over to him. I would have loved to say 'get lost' or 'what do you want Potter?' But I restrained myself." What?" I asked instead.

"Did you get one of these?" he asked holding up his letter from mum.

" Yep!" I answered

" So I guess it's official now. We're brothers." Harry said stating the obvious.

I nodded. What I really wanted to say was 'DUH!' Harry then did an unexpected thing. He held out his hand for me to shake it. I took his hand since I was trying to get to Hermione.

What I really wanted to do was tease him about Ron refusing to speak to him. I had seen Ron and it was dead funny. Every time Harry spoke to him he would hum I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

I started to head toward the Slytherin table when Harry spoke up," Wanna eat with us?" he asked.

I just stared at him as if he had just said 2+2=6. " HELLO! I'm in Slytherin not Gryffindor! I can't eat at the same table as you!" I protested.

" That never stopped you before. You're not supposed to taunt other students but you do it anyway!" He argued.

He did have a point. If I didn't do it he would think I was lying to him but if I did do it I would be mocked for the rest of my life by the slytherins for eating with the enemy. I considered my choices. Since I wanted to date the enemy I was going to eat with them. " Alright," I agreed.

I walked over to the table worrying about what snape would say. What if I got expelled? What if they kicked me out of Slytherin and made me put the hat on again? When we got to the table all those worries vanished and I began to worry about what Weasely would say.

"What are YOU doing here?" Ron asked.

" I'm having supper with my brother. Do you have a problem with that?" I asked.

I just realized what I said. That is a way scary thought. Harry and I are brothers!" No, you are not! You are pretending to be his FRIEND!"

" Yeah, right!" I retorted.

I dug into the pocket of my robe and brought a small gift that I had bought at hogsmeade after the library incident. I handed it to Weasley. " What is it?" he asked skeptically

" A gift! Have you ever gotten a present in your life?" I asked.

" Yes," he said.

" Uh, Draco? I need to talk to you!" Hermione said.

" okay, shoot!" I said.

I wondered what it was she wanted to talk about. " But I want to see Ron-" I told her

" He'll wait until we come back, won't you Ron?" Hermione asked.

" Yeah, right." Ron said but when he saw the look on hermione's face he said," yeah, I'll wait."

She took me out of the great hall and into the hallway." Draco, I have a crush on you," she told me.

I already knew that but I wasn't about to tell her that. " I have liked you since, I guess, fourth year!" she finished.

" Wow! I never thought you of all people would have a crush on me!" I told her sarcastically.

Hermione blushed. " So would you-" she started to ask.

" Let me think about it," I told her.

I was going to give my answer after she opened her present. I had bought a present for Ron, Hermione and Harry. Hermione and I then walked back into the Great Hall.

Ron opened the present and saw….
