A/N: Hi guys, sorry to pull that on you all. I've had a terrible day and it was wonderful to come home and read all of your great reviews! Raen, tobytdk, Cherrity, jliles and Ron-Weasley21, is this fast enough for you?? Hope so. Kim, Kandra, you'll have to wait and see! * rubs hands together laughing maniacally * Chaiki Dark, I probably wont post up the sex/smut here on ffnet but I'll post a link to where you can read it. Vegetto, I've had a headache all week cos of your executioner tendencies, not to mention the tape is killer on my hair!! jk Saavik, I know, but don't worry, I'm taking good care of him. Sayan, you kinky person you!! And, to PissedOffEskimo, I'm assuming that wizards are used to fellow wizards having different types of animal familiars. So, the charm only works for muggles. Wizards know not to interfere with another wizard's familiar without their permission. I'm basing this assumption on the fact that back before wands, familiars are the extension of a wizard and in fact a way of channeling the wizards' power. Hope that answers all of your questions! Please, keep reviewing! I only write after reading reviews. The next chapter might take some time because I'm having a little trouble with it as well as the fact that I'm swamped with work. I'm hoping to have it done by the weekend and then I'll post it as soon as my beta's are done with it. Again, thanks to Linda and Lillian!!
Flashback, Dumbledore's Office, Harry's POV
As I sat back and watched this by-play between Dumbledore and Malfoy, my mind reflected on the last hour. What a turbulent hour it had been. I was shocked and confused when Malfoy spat out the password to the gargoyle. How did Malfoy know the password? Why was Malfoy here? He had gotten fired from the Board of School Governors back in my second year. So why was he here? Was he on some lame duty for old Moldiewarts? Did he come to threaten the headmaster again?
When we reached the office, Dumbledore recognized me straight away, but kept quiet for the time being, deciding to hear Malfoy's side of the story first. Imagine my shock when I realized that Malfoy played the same role as Severus, Malfoy was a spy for the order!! Apparently he also echoed my thoughts about Dumbledore's tricks of withholding information. However, something within me twisted at the look of betrayal and hurt that was evident in Malfoy's eyes when he took off my collar and I morphed back into myself. Of course he hid it well, but the man had been sharing a lot of information and feelings with me for several days, so I could see it. Damn it, why should it bother me that Malfoy's feeling betrayed! I should dance around the place happily!! But then again, he is working on the side of good. Bugger it this is all so confusing!!!
It hurt me though, when Malfoy addressed me in that scorn-laden voice of his. Reminiscent of Snape in the old days before we began working together. It seems Malfoy as well had fallen into the whole Golden Boy myth that surrounds me. Hah! I refuse to look at him when I tell Dumbledore my story, carefully keeping my eyes fixed on the table in front of me. I only look up when Malfoy stands to leave but is stopped by Albus.
Curious, I wonder what brilliant plan the headmaster has in mind for Malfoy? I sit quietly; not wanting to draw further attention to myself as I listen with half an ear while wondering where Dumbledore has in mind for me to stay for the rest of the holidays.
As a result, it took me a while to register what Dumbledore was suggesting. Wait, no, ordering would be the better word. In fact, only four words had broken through my musings and they were, Harry... Stay... With.... You.... Shocked, I turned and looked at Dumbledore, refusing to believe he had just asked me to remain in Malfoy's company for the next three weeks!!
My disbelief was short lived however when Dumbledore continued by saying, " It is the best idea for both of you! Harry will remain in his animagus form while out in public with you, Lucius, and you can inform Voldemort that you think I am hiding him in Muggle London. You and Harry can stay in a hotel there. With the Obscurus charm on him, Harry will not draw attention and you can avoid causing the Dark Lord displeasure. In the mean time, you will be able to teach Harry whatever Dark Arts Severus was unable to. You know I had been planning to bring you in here during the school term to tutor him anyway. This way, less attention and suspicion will be drawn to us. Severus will meet up with you periodically to check on the two of you as well as keep you updated and bring Harry his things. To Voldemort, just tell him you and Severus are banding together to look for the boy and you two can feed him bogus clues until the new term starts. Isn't that brilliant boys? More tea?"
Three weeks in the company of Lucius Malfoy.... in a hotel room... in Muggle London. Wonderful. This is just the perfect summer. Wait a minute, maybe I can worm my way out of this, " But sir, it's the summer, I'm not allowed to perform magic or I might get expelled. The Ministry will definitely find out about it and I won't be hidden anymore." Oh thank you Snape, all those hours spent arguing with you have finally paid off!
And then, Crash, my mini-euphoria tumbled down around my ears as Dumbledore brushed my concerns off with a wave of his hand, " Nonsense Harry, after your recent disappearance, I managed to negotiate with the Ministry to excuse you from the no magic clause the rest of this summer. I said you might have to use magic to get yourself out of danger. So, your name was removed from the detection list a few days ago. Minister Fudge was especially vehement about that fact after it was pointed out to him how the press would have a field day if it were to come out that the Boy-Who-Lived was expelled from school just for using magic to escape the clutches of You- Know-Who. You'll have to remember to thank Professor Snape for that. It was his idea."
Blast that meddlesome Snape! I'm going to kill him! There is no way out of this, I know the headmaster. Once he gets that look in his eyes he will never back down. Quickly glancing a look at Malfoy, I realize he also knows it's useless to argue. He looks resigned and as if all he wants to do is get out of here. Since when did I get to be the leading expert in Malfoy's feelings? And three weeks with his company alone is going to make things even worse! Have I ever mentioned I hate my life?
