Chapter Two

"Potter , I mean Harry wake up".

Harry shot right up. Terrified emerald eyes stared at Draco.

" Did you see anything" Harry asked.

" Yes I did " replied Draco " Bruises all across your back. Now tell me how did you did this to you"?

There were now tears in Harry's eyes.

" You can't tell anyone promise" Harry said.

" I promise" Draco said.

" I got them from the Dursleys , but you can not tell anyone."

"O.K. Harry I will not tell anyone" Draco replied.

*************************

" Harry time to get up" Draco yelled.

" I'm up Draco" Harry replied.

The boys got off of their beds and started to get dressed. Draco could now see all the livid bruises all over Harry's back.

" Draco" Harry said in a voice like a whisper.

"Yes" replied Draco.

" Could you help me put on my shirt because when I put it on it hurts."

" I'll help you" Draco replied.

Draco walked to where Harry was standing and pulled down Harry's shirt down very careful.

" Thanks Draco."

With that done Draco get his bag and said he would meet Harry in the Great Hall. Also he told him to follow some of the seventh years or the Prefect.

************************

The Great Hall was scary in Harry's opinion. It was scary without Draco there. Harry sat down at the end of the Slytherin table and poured himself a glass of orange juice. He took a piece of toast and spread some jam on it.

*************************

Draco was currently in the owlery. His owl was preached on is shoulder. Draco had a piece of parchment on his lap and a quill in his hand. Draco was writing a letter to his Godfather. The letter said:

Dear Godfather

You said I could tell you about anything. Well here goes. You know Harry Potter got sorted into Slytherin. Well last night around midnight I heard someone tossing and turning. I found out that sound was coming from Harry's bed. I went over there and saw all these bruises on Harry's back. When I asked him what had happened he said he had got hem from the Dursleys. I think that is the family that Harry lives with. He told me not to tell anyone, but I do not want him to get hurt. I know I'm not supposed to care about people my Father does not approve of, but I find myself caring . Please help me.

Talk to you later

Draco Malfoy

With that done Draco sent the owl out of the window. Draco watched it fly until it was out of sight.

***********************

Draco headed down to the Great Hall and saw that Harry was getting teased by some 7th year Slytherins. Harry was whispering something under his breath like 'Please stop'. Draco ran over the end of the Slytherin table.

" Stop bugging him" Draco shouted.

" What are you going to do to stop us" one of the tall 7th years asked. Draco whipped out his wand and whispered the leg- locker curse. The 7th year was too stupid to block the curse. All the Slytherins backed away.

" Mr. Malfoy what happened in the Great Hall?"

" Well to make a long story short Harry was getting teased by some 7th years and I tried to stop them. I got angry so I shot one of them the leg- locker curse and then they all of them ran away."

" I got your letter Draco and we will talk about it will Mr. Potter after class".

" O.K. see you in class" Draco replied.

************************

Draco went back to the Great Hall and saw still sitting at the end of the table.

"Hi" Draco said as he walked over to where Harry was sitting. " We should get going to class" .

"O.K." Harry said

*************************

The first class was transfiguration. then it was potions. The class that Draco was waiting for not because Draco was Snape's favorite student ,but because Harry was going to talk with Snape after class. Snape was not there when Draco and arrived. Draco and Harry went to go find seats. The door burst open it was Snape.

" There will be no foolish wand waving in this class. I can teach how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper to death".

With that said Snape started taking the role call.

" Mr. Potter you will see me after class and so will Mr. Malfoy,"

" Yes Professor" both boys said in unison.

After the role call was done Snape put everybody in groups of two. The potion that the class was making was a potion that cured boils. Snape walked around the classroom giving negative comments to the Gryffindors and positive comments to the Slytherins. When Snape got to Harry and Draco he gave them a small smile. Soon class was over.

" Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy remember to stay."

Draco could tell that Harry was scared.

" Draco" Harry asked " what did I do wrong."

" Nothing" Draco replied.

Snape closed the door and walked to where Draco and Harry were sitting.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy has some evidence that you have been abused ."

There was now what looked like a look of horror but there was also a gleam of Happiness
