Book mention: Guilty Pleasures by Laurel Hamilton (I don't own it. Just one of my own favorites)

" ******************************** "

Malfoy Manor two days after the train ride to King's Cross

Draco Malfoy sat on his bed reading a potions book for his summer homework but he couldn't really concentrate on what he was reading. He sighed putting the book aside decided to go into his small library and pick a book to just read instead of a schoolbook. It had been two days almost three days (it was late in the evening) since Harry Potter disappeared. Most people didn't know it but himself and Harry were pretty good friends at least he thought of it that way and he hoped Harry thought of it that way as well. Draco looked at his collection of books and decided to read one of his favorite books. It was surprisingly by a Muggle author at least he thought she was a Muggle but the way she wrote about the preternatural and supernatural she could have been something else. And when he meant something else he meant she could have been wizard born, muggle born or even from a different realm. Draco knew about different realm because of the family house elves. He had heard them talking when he was younger and had begged them to tell him about where they came from. Of course house elves always willing to please their masters told him. Draco sighed again he was worried about Harry he tried not to let on too much because he didn't want it to get out that he and Harry were not enemies that could be very bad for his father who was trying to help Dumbledore fight against the Dark Lord. Draco stood in his small library for a moment staring at nothing and then gave himself a small shake and picked up his book and walked back into his bedroom.

Draco went over to the bed and sat down propping up the pillows so he could relax and read. He stared at the cover of the book for a bit thinking maybe he shouldn't have picked this book the first time he picked it up he read it all in one sitting. Not to mention the next books in the series he had all of them and was waiting for the next one to be published. Guilty Pleasures what a name for a book he thought but the saying 'never judge a book by its cover' crossed his thoughts. Draco closed his eyes again for a moment trying to shake the worry he had for Harry and he opened his eyes and opened his book and started to read.

After about 2 hours Draco decided that maybe he would be able to sleep tonite and he got up and went to take a shower before he went to bed. The shower felt good and he relaxed even more. He stepped out of the shower and reached over and grabbed a big fluffy towel when he heard a voice "Malfoy?" he paused looking around seeing no one but he noticed the mirror over the sink looked like it was fogged over. He frowned they were charmed not to do that but then he took another look and the mirror was not fogged over the fog was in the mirror. "Draco Malfoy?" he heard come from the mirror. He reached over and grabbed his wand from the edge of the sink and moved over to look at the mirror pointing his ebony wand at it. "Whose there?" he asked and then gasped as the fog cleared in the mirror to reveal a face. "Potter!?" he asked incredulously dropping the towel he had in his hand.

Harry just grinned at him for a moment "Yeah, its me."

"Where the fuck are you, Potter?" Draco snarled at him mad that he had made him worry so much

"Whoa, what's wrong, Malfoy?" Harry sniped back

Draco put his wand down and leaned against the sink for a moment closing his eyes taking a deep breath "Sorry, Po—Harry everybody is running around like idiots because you disappeared 2 days ago with no trace. They can't find anything its like you fell off the earth or something. Dumbledore says he doesn't even know where you are."

"How do they know I left? Draco what's going on it's only been 2 days. What they think I got killed or something. And just so you know Dumbledore doesn't know where I am."

Draco's eyes widened for a moment at Harry saying the headmaster didn't know where he was. "Harry I am not sure how they know you are gone but I know the Dark Lord knows too. I don't know what they thought I just know that there are a lot of people panicking and rumors are flying around that you were captured or killed. They even had Aurors go to the muggle's place to check there. They can't find your magical aura anywhere." Draco said reaching for the towel he dropped wrapping it around his waist.

"That's good I don't want them to," Harry said. He was just about to say something else when a voice came from behind him from someone Draco could not see "Harry hurry up she is getting tired." Harry turned his head slightly to look at the speaker "Ok I will I still need to ask him to tell the headmaster so he can let the others know, I am almost done" and then he turned back to Draco surprised to see a look of shock on his face

"Harry, who is that?" he asked

"Huh?"

"That voice who is that and what did they mean?"

"Oh, that's Jo and she meant that I will need to you to contact everybody else to let them know I am ok. You know Ron and Hermione will be worried out of their minds if I don't tell them. Not to mention if what you say is happening – " Harry paused when the voice asked him what was happening and he answered "Sorry, I didn't know that would happen. But look at it this way you could take advantage of being dead and take a holiday for a couple of decades" Harry just chuckled and looked back a Draco who had a small smirk on his face "I take it you heard her"

Draco nodded "You still haven't really told me who she is."

"Yes I did her name is Jo she's the girl I am staying with this holiday."

"Girl?!" Draco exclaimed

"Yeah, girl" he paused then continued "Don't you think I could know a girl?" Harry asked keeping an innocent look on his face

"Um, well yes but you are staying with a girl?"

"Something wrong with that?" Harry asked

"Um, well no I –" he was cut off when the voice in the background came through again

"Look if you are going to talk about me at least I could meet you"

Harry turned away for a moment and whispered something and the voice exclaimed "NAKED?" and Draco suddenly remembered that he was only wearing his towel he quickly reached for his robe and heard the voice say "now I really want to meet him" Then Harry whispered something and Draco heard the voice again this time slightly annoyed "you're no fun"

Harry turned back to Draco to see his cheeks were a bit pink "Sorry about that. Listen I did want to ask if you could possibly send and owl to Dumbledore to let him know I am ok I don't think this method I am using would get through the spells around Hogwarts it barely go around the ones on your home."

Draco was taken back for a moment "Are you sure Harry? You wouldn't want someone else to do it?"

"No, Draco I would like it if you could. I trust you to know the best way to let him know I am ok. It doesn't have to be an owl that is just to first thing I thought of. It might be best that however you do it that they don't know it was you it could be bad for things" Harry didn't continue he knew Draco would understand don't let anyone know because it could get back to Voldemort. "And please ask the headmaster to let the Weasley's, Hermione and my godfather know I am alright. I don't think I will be able to contact them the one casting this spell it very old and she gets tired quickly I don't want to make it worse for them."

Draco nodded and looked Harry straight in the eye letting Harry know that he would let Dumbledore know that Harry was alive and well.

"Thanks, Draco I knew I could count on you" Harry breathed a sigh of relief and then he noticed the fog starting to get think "I've got to go Draco I might be able to contact you again I don't know. But don't worry about me I am safe. You just watch yourself."
Draco nodded and gave Harry one of his rare true smiles "You are welcome Harry. You watch yourself too and thanks"

Harry looked a bit confused "What for?"

"For trusting me."

Harry just nodded his head smiled at Draco as the fog grew thick in the mirror and then cleared and all Draco could see was himself looking back. Draco closed his eyes for a moment and leaned against the sink taking a deep breath and let it out. Harry was ok and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his chest. He hadn't really thought he was that worried about the situation until now. And it was now that he realized that Harry was the one true friend he had and him being that friend he would not let him down. Draco would find a way to contact Prof. Dumbledore anonymously let him know that Harry was alright and ask the headmaster to let Harry's other friends and family know as well.

Draco walked back into his bedroom, changed into his pajamas and slid under the covers. He whispered "nox" and was asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow. The first real sleep he had since coming back from school.

"**********"

Two days later on earth Harry and Jo came back through the doorway to almost the same place that they had left from.

"Are you sure this will work?" Harry asking touching the medallion he now wore around his neck to mask his presence and appearance. It wasn't supposed to change the way he looked it was more supposed to just not draw attention to himself.

"Well if it doesn't we will be the first to know." Jo commented walking toward London

"Thanks" Harry said rolling his eyes at her and she just smirked back at him that smirk that reminded him of Draco Malfoy. After getting to know his sister more Harry noticed she had a lot of Slytherin traits. "You would make a good Slytherin," he commented out loud.

"Really? Not Gryffindor?" Jo asked surprised

"Well yeah you would be good in Gryffindor too, but the Slytherin in you stands out more."

"Oh, but didn't you say it was bad to be in Slytherin?"

"Well I thought that at first when I first started at Hogwarts because I didn't know anything about magic or the wizard world. As a matter of fact the Sorting Hat almost put me in Slytherin."

"Sorting Hat?"

"Yeah, the hat the sorts everyone into their houses their first year."

"Oh, the one that you were able to get that sword from when you were fighting in the Chamber that year?"

"That's the one. Well it said I would do well in Slytherin but I talked it out of it so it put me in Gryffindor. Up until we got to know each other I thought it was because of what the headmaster said that Voldemort left part of his power or something with me when he cursed me but now I am not so sure.  But since being friends with Draco I have come to rethink my first impression of Slytherins. They are not all bad mind you; you still want to watch your back. But the saying that all dark wizards came from Slytherin is a lie. Most of the dark wizards come from Slytherin but you and I know the most treacherous of all dark wizards didn't come from Slytherin." Harry finished in a hard voice

Jo clenched her fists thinking about what Harry told her about Peter Pettigrew betraying their parents he had been from Gryffindor.

"I don't agree with all of the beliefs Slytherins have about muggles and purebloods but they can be very cunning and resourceful even tricky if need be. And I have found out lately that being cunning, tricky and resourceful is not a bad thing and can even save you from being killed."

"Or at least keep you from being betrothed to a Harpy and not be fried by a wyvern." Jo joked thinking about the last place they visited before going back to Glimmering Water. They had barely gotten out of there without being married or cooked.

Harry just gave a snort "That little bit of dirt as you call it. Its not a bad thing."

"Yes it lets you think like them. But the trick is to not let that little bit of dirt as I call it turn into a whole mountain"

"True" Harry agreed

They walked on silence for a while they could not go back the exact way they came since the doors to the underground only opened from the inside. They had to take the long way into London and took the public transport to the street before the Leaky Cauldron.

They entered the Leaky Cauldron and stopped for a moment to let their eyes adjust to the light and then proceeded to the back alley. No one inside seemed to really pay close attention to them so Harry and Jo knew as long as they didn't draw a lot of attention to themselves they would go mostly unnoticed today. Harry reached up and tapped the stone on the back wall and the doorway opened to Diagon Alley.

"As Hagrid said when I first came here 'Welcome to Diagon Alley' " Harry said

"Wow" was all he got in return from Jo

Harry snickered after spending over a month getting to know his sister he was still amazed that she found everything so fascinating, he hoped it always stayed that way.

Jo just kind of glowered at him "Now James (they had decided not to use Harry's real name while here) you know how I am"

"Yes, yes I know so much to learn/see and so little time" he mimicked "You are just like a sponge do you know that? You just soak up everything I don't know how you do it"

"Come on now you are just like me only you started later. You soak up things just as easily you were just never given the chance. Think about everything you have seen and learned these last few weeks.

Harry thought for a moment and he had to agree.

By this time they were at the entrance of Gringotts and Jo had paused to read the inscription on the doors. Then they proceeded inside Jo looked around Harry had told her that the bank was run by goblins but these goblins didn't look like any goblins she had ever seen before. These goblins looked pretty well behaved.

They got to the front of the line and Harry said, "I would like to check the contents of my safe and make a withdrawal"

"Of course do you have your key?" the goblin behind the desk asked

"Certainly" Harry replied passing over the small key

The goblin took it and looked at it for a moment and handed it back "This seems to be in order"

"My sister would also like to do the same" Harry said

"I see and does she have her key?"

"Of course" Jo replied handing him the small golden key she had gotten in her letter those years ago

"Well everything here is in order I will have someone take you there" he said gesturing to another goblin standing nearby

"I would like to change my name in your register if that is possible, please" Jo said quietly

"Of course what would the new name be please"?

"Josephine Masters"

"Certainly we will make that change directly Miss Masters"

"Thank-you" Jo replied and turned and followed Harry to the cart and climbed inside

"Get ready for the roller coaster ride of your life" Harry whispered

"Harry I have never been on a roller coaster" Jo hissed back nervously

Harry just smirked as the cart took off.

Jo sat stiffly for a bit until she got used to the rough ride and then she started to relax and look around and tried to see what was around her but the cart moved so fast that she couldn't see much she did catch a puff of flame as the whizzed by one place.

"Was that a dragon back there?" she asked wide-eyed looking at Harry

"They say there might be some dragons here guarding some of the vaults so it is possible" Harry replied back and he smiled as Jo's eyes just seemed to widen some more in surprise.

The cart slowed to a halt and the goblin got out of the cart "Lamp please" he said and Harry handed him one of the lamps. The goblin turned and walked over to Harry's vault "Key please" he said and Harry handed him the little key and the goblin put the key in the door and unlocked it for Harry.

Both Harry and Jo paused for a moment and then went inside Jo had picked up the other lamp from the cart so they would be able to see inside the vault. It appeared to have mostly money stacked on a table but at a closer look further back into the vault on the floor behind the table was a trunk not unlike the one Mad Moody had last year. But it had only five different locks and Harry wondered where the keys were to open it. They looked around and this appeared to be the only other thing in the room so they went over to it. Harry reached out and touched the top of the trunk and the first lock snapped open causing them to both jump a bit.

Harry reached over and opened the trunk and a small gasp escaped his mouth. Inside there were many books, many of them appeared to be photo albums. Also sitting on top was a letter with his name on it. Harry picked up the letter and opened it and started to read aloud

Dear Son,

If you are reading this letter in your vault it means we can no longer be with you …

The letter continued on explained many things and about how Peter was to be the secret keeper after and that should anything happened Harry could always contact him. Harry just growled at this. They letter said he could go to the other marauders for help no matter what anyone said and to always trust Prof Dumbledore. The letter also went on to explain again why he and Jo were separated at birth for their protection. It went on to say that not long after they found out about having twins that Lily had a dream about her children now Lily was so sure that they dream was real that she decided to have these trunks made ready for her children. Inside were the things she believed would help them in their lives. The letter also said that the contents of Harry's trunk were very different then what was in his sister's trunk. James went on to say that he was not sure if he believed the dream or not but Lily had been so sure that to please her he helped her gather the things in each of the trunks and put the charms on them to open only for each of them. The keys to the rest of the locks were under the letter and that to shrink the trunk just close the lid and touch the small red dot to the right of the first lock. Lily had charmed it to do this knowing that when Harry read the letter he would still be under age and not allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts yet.

Harry grabbed the keys from the trunk and closed the lid and touched the small dot and the trunk shrank enough so that he could put it into his pocket. He then pulled open his money pouch and retrieved some money for himself.

"We can investigate what all they left me later there are five different compartments on that thing and I have a feeling the are all full"

"Ok" Jo said standing

They both left the vault and looked at the goblin "We are ready to go to my sister's vault now" Harry said

"Certainly" he said "Key please" holding out his hand Jo looked confused for a moment and they handed over the key. The goblin walked over to the vault next to Harry's and opened the door.

"It figures right next door to each other," Jo snorted

They looked around in Jo's vault and she also had a trunk like Harry's with a letter that said pretty much the same thing as his did so she shrank her trunk and put it into her pocket gathered some money so she could get a wand and maybe a broomstick and together they left the vault.

The ride back went pretty much the same and the ride to their vault and they soon found themselves outside of Gringotts back in Diagon Alley.
