[A/N]: Here's the moment I know I've been waiting for…Draco and Harry meet! Enjoy! It's Draco's POV and song chapter to Sum 41's "Motivations", oh! And there's going to be mild swearing in this chapter so beware!
DISLCAIMER: I own nothing, make nothing, and claim nothing. Only J.K. Rowling can do that...That and Sum 41 for "Motivations"
-------CHAPTER 9: SEE HARRY'S DUCKIES (ugh! Not like that!)------------------DRACO'S POV
What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always several too small
Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately,
I feel like I don't give a shit
The sun somehow made its way through the thick emerald green hangings around my bed. Usually I would sneer in the welcoming of a brand-new day, (can't you just hear the sarcasm?) but today I had myself a little mission. I was getting out of my father's service and into someone else's, out of the frying pan and into the fire they say. For the moment, I'm just content to spit in the bastards face. I just hope I don't have to do much; it is the last Saturday before classes.
Motivation's such and aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them,
Inspirations getting hard to fake it
Concentrations never hard to break it,
Situations never what you want it to be
Dressing in my usual fine, black robes and green and silver tie, I shot water out of my wand and watched in mild amusement as Crabbe and Goyle, stupid lumps they are, fell in a mess of twisted sheets and wet pajamas. The smirk came on as I told them to hurry up and get dressed; I would see them for breakfast. I heard two grunts in response and turned on a sharp heel and walked to the Great Hall, face expressionless as stone. I watched as the girls from all the tables fawned over Potter. I found myself interested, but for completely different reasons. Potter changed drastically, taller, stronger, (I can attest to that) and had the most unusual aura about it. It was a thick, warm pressure. I could only feel it because of my mother's veela relations. He catches me watching him, I sneer. There is no way I'm letting him think I'm like that. He raises an eyebrow. Stupid Potter. I look at the time, grab my bag and head to the library; I have time to kill until three. Damn, that was not how I wanted to spend my breakfast. Maybe I should threaten a Hufflepuff, seeing them stutter is so fun, or throw sickles at Weasley. Note to self, stay away from the little one, Potter likes her and I'm not getting my ass kicked until I can handle it. Stupid Potter. Spoil my fun. As I leave the Hall, a small boom and loads of laughter catch my attention. There, sitting at the staff table, is Snape with a wad of…shampoo? on his head. Weasley twins no doubt.
What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break,
It's all just a waste of time in the end,
Don't care, so why should I even pretend?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
God, the library is so boring. Even with the approaching O.W.L's, as Granger so kindly yelled at Weasley for not studying for, I can't seem to concentrate. Not like it matters much anyway I suppose, the letter said I would be learning invaluable skills, probably above O.W.L's. What bothers me is I can't find out who sent the letter, and it is driving me mad. I looked at the precious platinum watch on my wrist; Alexander the Great, the profile of a muggle on the face. If anyone else knew, I would be as good as that hippogriff form third year…wait, it got away…appropriate enough I guess.
Motivation's such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them,
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentrations never hard to break it
Situations never what you want it to be
Its two forty p.m. now, twenty minutes. I grab my bag and get up as Crabbe and Goyle trip through the door, earning a glare form Madame Pince. I walk out, far too quickly for the two oafs to lumber behind me. I turn down the corridor and watch in fading amusement as younger year's part before me. When this mess is all over, whether the Light wins or not, I want people to stop doing that. I reach the third floor, there! The portrait is indeed of a drunken monk, so much so that it can't even seem to keep its quill strait. Okay, now to get in…I'm so stupid! I don't have a password! In mounting frustration, I slam my hand on the portrait. A green laser scans my body, (yes, I know what a laser scanner is), I can feel it testing my aura. Smart move, not even polyjuice or dark magic can change that. The portrait swings open, using every ounce of my nerve, I step inside.
Nothing's new, everything's the same,
Keeps on dragging me down
It's getting kinda lame,
Falling further behind, there's nothing to explain,
No matter what you say, nothing's gonna change my mind.
"POTTER?!" Oh my god, repeat that about a million times. He smirks, and I see little Ginny is giggling. This is one hell of a big set-up, no way in hell Potter could help me, "But," says that little voice in the back of my head, "He has gotten things done, and tricked you and your father" Damn, it or I, was right. He's also far too noble to do all this for a joke. Just stay for a little while and hear him out, if you don't like it, rat him out to Snape. Always have a plan.
*~*~*~*~*END DRACO POV*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hello Draco," Harry spoke through his laughter, the look on Draco's face was priceless, "I'm glad you came. Judging by the look on your face, you didn't know it was me. That means I did my job. Don't interrupt, its easier to say all this in one go. I am going to personally train you and several others, don't look at me like that cause I can," ignoring Draco's face, Harry continued, "And the other's I've selected all are experts in various fields, you will train each other here in your spare time. In order not to arouse suspicion, you will be given one of these," Ginny left her place at Harry's side and brought over an obsidian box. Harry opened it, and pulled out a tiny hourglass on a fine, long gold chain, "This is a time-turner, I have no doubt you know what it is, and it's undetectable so Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix can't tell you're using it. Now, you're here now because I want to talk to you about being a spy on the Death Eaters, I can remove the mark when you're finished and it will save you from your father's wrath. In case you're discovered, I will have an emergency Portkey implanted in your skin, I will also do a spell for you and the other agents to hear each others thoughts and inform you of a meeting. That's everything for now; you will meet the others tomorrow, and should the rare occurrence you decline my assistance, I will memory charm you. So, close your mouth, your attracting flies."
Draco hadn't even realized his mouth was open. His eyes darted to Ginny and Harry, both looking expectant. Harry had thought of nearly everything, he was being fairly careful about it. Did he really want to do this? But what else was there? Stick with Crabbe and Goyle? They didn't know how to take a breath without the other present. He couldn't say no to his father, this was indeed his only option. It was also a pretty good deal, he was a Slytherin, and the powers on this side, at least for him.
Can't pretend on doubt until the end,
It seems like leaving
Friends have become this years friends, and
Though I can't pretend it's not the same,
But who's to blame for all the stupid things I never said?
Motivations such an aggravation.
Accusations don't know how to take them,
Inspirations getting hard to fake it,
Concentrations never hard to break it,
Situations never what you wanted to be
Draco looked to the two of them, the wheels turning in his head, "I'll do it"
Never what you want it to be
"Excellent!"
Harry exclaimed, "Here tomorrow, two p.m.
Use the time-turner, we don't want a bunch
of students disappearing and re-appearing at the same time"
Harry stepped forward, and draped an arm over Draco's shoulder, "This is going to
be fun"
Never what you want it to be
