Draco made a full recovery and was up and back in class by the next week. The six students were getting frustrated with the restrictions that ha been put on them but knowing it was for there own good they stuck to them. The Gryffindor students and Draco weren't exactly friends now but they were all making an effort to at least be civil to each other. Draco stopped calling Hermione a 'mudblood' and Harry and Ron stopped hexing him for no reason. Snape noticed that his potions lessons were very quiet.
Just before Easter, Ron, Harry, Ginny and Hermione were sitting at breakfast when they heard a familiar voice behind them
"Alrigh' you lot" said Hagrid.
"Hagrid! Your back" Hermione smiled. They all stood up and greeted him.
"Can't stop an' chat. Gotta find Dumbledore but come an' down an' fill me in on the news after lessons" He told them.
AS soon as Potions had finished they raced down to Hagrids hut. Harry told him all about Talitha (which he already knew) and Sirius (which he knew as well). Hagrid was surprised when Ron told him about Draco.
"Well I never would 'ave thought that" he chuckled.

Harry spent the Easter holidays at Remus' house with Sirius and Talitha as they still as yet had to find a house.
On returning to school Harry, Ron and Ginny put all of there efforts into Quidditch practice in preparation for their final match against Slytherin. This was usually the biggest match of the year for them however this time there wasn't quite so much rivalry between Harry and Draco.
The morning of the match arrived, both teams needed a win to get the house cup. As Ron led the Gryffindor team out onto the pitch he caught Draco's eyes. Although there wasn't quite a smile between them they both knew that they had accepted each other.
The match started, Ginny almost scoring another early goal, forcing a hard save from the Slytherin keeper.
By the time Harry saw the snitch the score was 90 points to Gryffindor 80 points to Slytherin. Draco was on the other side of the pitch but he saw the snitch at the same time. Both of the seekers chased after the snitch. Harry ducked a bludger as he dived towards the ground where the snitch was hovering. They were both concentrating hard on the snitch unaware of what was going on around them.
"Harry! watch out!" Ginny yelled. Harry just heard her but didn't have enough time to react. Harry and Draco flew full force into each other. Harry fell off of his broom and fell in a heap on the floor. Luckily he hadn't been too high up and it was only a short fall. Unluckily, Draco also came off his broom and landed on top of Harry. Even more unluckily, Ron, unaware of the two seekers, was trying to get the Quaffle. Somehow he managed to get between the two seekers just as they collided. He had also fallen off and had landed on top of Draco. Charlie flew over and managed to untangle them.
Harry tried to get up but his leg hurt too much. He fell back down to the ground and felt more pain in his ribs. Draco was still lying on the floor groaning and holding his head. Ron was sitting up holding his arm.
Harry looked up as Talitha arrived. She knelt down next to him as he lay on the floor. He grinned up at her.
"What are you smiling at?" she asked "It looks like you've got a broken leg that leg"
"I got the snitch" Harry said and started laughing. Talitha shook her head and laughed as well.
"You're just too much like your dad" she told him.
Somehow, Talitha and Charlie with the help of Ginny and Hermione, managed to get Harry, Ron and Draco up to the Hospital wing. Harry and Draco were arguing about who's fault it was that they had hit each other.
"Not you two again" Madam Pomfrey said with a smile looking at Harry and Draco. Draco climbed onto one bed while Charlie lowered Harry on to the one next to him. Ron sat on another. Madam Pomfrey diagnosed Harry with a broken leg and ribs, Ron with a broken arm and Draco with mild concussion due to landing on his head. She told them they would all be staying where they were for the night. Ginny went up to the dorm and brought Harry and Ron their pajamas.
After everyone had left, Harry struggled to put his pajamas on and found the invisibility cloak wrapped up inside the bottoms where he had put it to keep it safe. He tucked it under the pillow and got back into bed.
Later in the evening Draco and Ron were both asleep and Harry decided to have a nap as well. He was jolted awake by his scar hurting. He made an odd grunting noise.
"What's up with you, Potter?" Draco muttered sleepily. Ron continued snoring.
"Nothing" Harry answered "Ribs hurt" He actually realized at this point that his ribs actually no longer hurt, neither did his leg. Both boys fell back to sleep.
Harry started dreaming. He was in an old house, walking through the rooms. It was familiar to him but he wasn't quite sure where the house was. He woke again and he could hear voices at the other end of the hospital wing. It was Talitha and Dumbledore. He couldn't quite make out what they were saying but he thought he heard 'Peter' and 'escaped'. Thinking nothing of it in his sleepy state, he drifted back to sleep. The same dream continued, the same house, the same rooms. Suddenly he realized where he was. His grandparents house in Godric's Hollow. Just as suddenly his scar pained again, waking him up. It was much worse this time and it made him shout out. He sat up and started rubbing it but the pain continued. It took a while to ease of and then Harry looked round to find Draco and Ron watching him.
"My scar" Harry said "It hurts." Ron looked worried "I get pain in it when Voldemort is up to something" Harry explained to Draco.
Draco nodded, unsure of what to say.
"Wormtail!" Harry said suddenly
"What about him?" Ron asked cautiously. Harry explained about his dream and what he had heard Dumbledore telling Talitha.
"I know where he is" Harry said as he climbed out of bed and started to get dressed "I've got to find him" Harry half expected Hermione to pop up and ask him if he thought it was a good idea and shouldn't he just tell Dumbledore but when he looked at Draco and Ron he realized that they were getting dressed as well.
"How do we get there?" Draco asked
Harry sat back down on the bed
"I don't know" he replied "Think, Think"
"What about going by floo from Talitha's office?" Ron suggested.
"We'd never get in there. She's got loads of charms and stuff on the door so no one can get in. She's worse than Moody sometimes. But that does give me an idea." Harry grabbed the invisibility cloak from under the pillow and threw it over the three of them. They crept out of the hospital wing and down the corridor. Harry made his way to the third-floor corridor with Draco and Ron following him. Harry wished they had the Marauders map with them as well. He stopped at the statue of the one-eyed witch. He tapped on the statue with his wand.
"Dissendium" he muttered.
They all slipped inside. Harry pulled of the cloak and tucked it inside his robes. They ran along the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel they climbed the steps, Harry opened the trap door to Honeydukes and they all climbed up. They glanced around the cellar and then the shop.
"No fire place" Draco said. Harry covered them all in the cloak again.
"Come on. Plan B" he whispered. They managed to get out of the shop and into the street. Still under the cloak they made there way across to Weasley's Wizardly Wheezes. Ron forced the door open and they slipped inside.
"Sorry Fred and George" Harry thought out loud. He grabbed the floo powder and passed some to Draco and Ron. They all stood in the fire place and threw the floo powder as they said their destination.
They tumbled out of the fire place at the Potter's house, all grabbing for their wands as they did. After a quick looked around the room they realized no one was there. They crept out into the hall. Harry looked around. He glanced at the stairs and then at the cellar door.
