Chapter 2
Harry sighed as he sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"What's the matter Harry?" Ginny asked with a worried frown upon her face.
"Nothing," said Harry as he turned to look up at the headtable.
He watched the sorting ceremony absently, letting his thoughts wander back to the small girl that he had met on the train.
'Who was she?' he asked himself again.
Harry jerked himself out of his thoughts as he saw Dumbledore
stand up to make his announcements before the feast. He felt a slight shock go through his body as his eyes met Dumbledore's twinkling ones.
'Oh dear,' Harry thought.
"First," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I would like to announce to all First-Years and all students who might have forgotten, that the Forbidden Forest is off limits."
Harry sighed silently and closed his eyes. Dumbledore was only
doing his usual announcements.
"Last, but not least, I would like to see one Harry Potter and one Draco Malfoy in my office after dinner. Now let the feast begin."
At that Harry's eyes snapped open.
'What?'
He looked up at Dumbledore then over at Draco. Draco looked up from his meal and met his eyes then shrugged. Harry felt rather confused.
'Why is Malfoy acting so weird?' he thought as he turned his attention to his own meal. 'Oh, well...' He sighed again.
After the feast Harry told Ron and Hermione that he would see
them later and began to make his way up to Dumbledore's office. As the gargoyle statue that guarded the entrance to the Headmaster's office came into sight, Harry remembered that he needed a password to get in.
"Bloody hell," swore Harry as he glared at the statue.
"What good will swearing do Potter?"
Harry jumped and spun around to see a rather amused Draco.
"Sod off Malfoy..." Harry growled.
"Sorry, I can't do that Potter." Draco smirked, "A bit high strung
today, aren't we?"
Harry glared a Draco then turned to face the statue, which
suddenly decided to move. Harry grumbled something inaudible and started up the stairs. Draco stood watching Harry with an odd expression on his face, then shook his head and started up the stairs.
"Ah, Draco, Harry. Do sit down." Dumbledore said as they enter his office. Harry and Draco sat down on the two padded chairs that were positioned in front of Dumbledore's desk. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and both Draco and Harry felt a great impending doom.
"P-Professor? What would you like to talk to us about?" Harry asked cautiously.
Dumbledore smiled at the two boys who almost squirming in their chairs. They both had changed quite a bit over the summer.
"I have a job for you two," he said, looking over his half moon
glasses at them "It is very important."
"What is it sir?" Draco asked, looking slightly baffled.
Dumbledore smiled again and then looked down behind his desk.
"You may come out now," he said gently.
Both Harry's and Draco's eyes widened as the saw the gray and white tuxedo cat that they had seen on the train saunter out from behind the desk, followed by the small girl they had met.
"Boys, this is Thistle." Dumbledore said the surprised Harry and Draco. "Due to certain....circumstances she will be staying here at Hogwarts. It is your job to take care of her. All three of you will be staying in one room. It is behind the portrait of Morgan Le Fay and the password is "fearsome". The house elves have already brought your things there."
Harry's and Draco's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"B-but sir!" Draco cried, his eyes going from Harry, to Thistle, then to Dumbledore, then back to Harry again. "What about classes?"
"Oh yes, I forgot about that!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
He shuffled through the piles of paper on his desk until he found what he was looking for.
"Here you go." he said as he handed each boy a timetable. "You will be in the same classes and Thistle will accompany you to each one."
Dumbledore held in a laugh as both boys made imitations of
drowning fish.
"You may go now," he said gently.
Harry and Draco nodded dumbly and stood up, heading towards the door. Thistle trotted after them with the cat following her.
Harry and Draco walked in silence, each mauling over their
situation. So deep in thought were they, they would have passed the
entrance to their room if Thistle had not brought them back to reality by
grabbing their hands and pulling them toward the portrait. She then released their hands, retrieved her doll from her messenger bag and sang out the password. Harry and Draco stared blankly at the entrance before entering the room.
The room was rather large. It had a big dresser, three desks, an overstuffed armchair and loveseat, a bathroom off to the side, and, to Draco and Harry's horror, one king size bed. Everything was in faded shades of violet.
"I'm not sleeping with you," Harry said as he watched Thistle pull off her boots and messenger bag before climbing on to the bed and jumping up and down.
"Fine," Draco said as he watched Thistle's antics as well, "You can sleep on the loveseat."
"What?! No way!! You sleep on the loveseat!" Harry cried as he
turned to face Draco.
Draco looked down at Harry and smirked. Harry growled but
stopped suddenly and looked down to see Thistle tugging gently at both his shirt and Draco's.
"Lilith, Hazel and I want both of you to be with us," she said pointing to her cat,then her doll, then herself and then at Draco and Harry. "I want to sleep in the middle."
Draco's eyebrows raised to his hairline and Harry released an
exasperated sigh.
"Alright," Harry said.
He went over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of pajamas
himself and then for Thistle and Draco. After they had changed, they all
climbed into the great bed. Draco was on the far left, Harry was on the far right and Thistle, as she had clearly declared, was in the middle.
"Good night," she said happily.
"'Night," Harry said as he turned to face the wall.
"'Night," said Draco as he did the same as Harry.
They didn't see the rather odd look that passed across Thistle's face before she smiled and closed her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, yep! That's chapter two. Sorry if Harry and Draco sound kinda weak and tired. You'll find out why later. :) This will probably be the average length of each chapter. XD Oh, yes the word 'faerie' is spelled correctly, it's just an older spelling.
