Disclaimer: I do own Harry Potter....really. *looks around nervously* Why are you looking at me like that? Its not like I'm lying. *eyes begin watering* Fine, fine. Its true, I don't own Harry Potter. *runs off crying*

A/N: *coughs* Sorry about that. I missed my drugs today... Anyway, please r/r. Pretty please with sugar on top?

Draco awoke to something moving on his bed. He sat up quickly and looked around at the room he was in.

Where am I?

He felt something rub against his arm and he looked down to find a black cat. The cat rolled over onto its back exposing his belly. Draco smiled and began to rub his stomach, then he stopped abruptly as a thought popped into his head.

I don't have a cat...

He looked over and saw a girl lying next to him, sleeping peacefully. He smiled at her and then began rubbing Dante's belly again.

Now I know who's room I'm in, but why am I here? What happened yesterday?

He thought back, to them going to Diagon Alley, shopping, eating and then returning. After that it was a blank, all he could remember was flooing and then feeling immense pain.

Draco was snapped out of his reverie by the girl next to him stirring. He turned to look at her as she opened her eyes and yawned.

"Good morning, Remy." She smiled at him and then sat up.

"Morning Draco. How are you feeling?"

"Okay. Why? What happened yesterday?" Remy crossed her legs Indian style and then began petting the very content Dante, who was now getting attention from both kids.

"Your father was being a bastard again. He attacked you, for what reason I don't know. I saved you and then threatened to leave." Draco looked on the floor and just then noticed her bag, filled with most of her belongings.

"I made him heal you and then talked him into leaving you here under my care. I just have to do some things for him but everything is fine." She smiled cheerily at him.

"Ready for some breakfast?" He nodded and headed downstairs, deciding to get dressed later.

______________________

"Okay, good. Now swing your leg over and push off from the ground. Try not go fly too high until you're better at it."

Draco watched as Remy began hovering above the ground and then slowly moving. After a while, she began doing laps around the trees, going a little faster and higher each time. She then, in a high on the moment, tried to do a loop.

As she wasn't experienced enough, she let go and began falling. Draco, who was hovering on his own Comet Two Sixty just in case this happened, raced towards her. He caught her just as she was going to hit the ground.

Remy opened her eyes and noticed she was still in he air, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let go. He gave her a small smile and then slowly made his way to the ground.

When he did, she quickly dismounted the broom and sat on the ground. Draco sat next to her and put an arm around her. Then they both looked over at the shattered pieces of her broom, which landed in an abrumpo plant, which automatically attacked to kill.

"I'm so sorry. Now your other broom is broken."

"Its fine. How about we go to Diagon Alley to get a new one? I can get you a Comet just like mine. How 'bout it?" She looked at him and nodded. They both ran inside, followed closely by Dante, who was basking in the sun.

______________________

Draco and Remy walked up to Quality Quidditch Supplies and made through the crowd of kids, all trying to get a look at the Nimbus Two Thousand. When they finally made it inside, they both began joining others in 'ooh'ing and 'ah'ing.

The broom was quite magnificent, to say the least. Its mahogany handle was shiny and very sleek, and the twigs all were perfectly aligned and neat. If the broom wasn't good enough, at the top on the broom, "Nimbus Two Thousand" was written in beautiful gold letters, which curled in certain places, just enough to make it look fancy.

All in all, the broom was amazing and everyone knew it. Even Lucius. Which is why after the months of begging and brown nosing on Draco's part, Lucius said Remy could get the broom.

Draco was jealous and slightly angry of course, since Remy had only been there a few days and already Lucius was favoring her more than his own son. Draco suspected that this was Lucius' way of making up with Remy, so that she didn't have any thoughts of running away.

I can always use it until she gets use to flying. Then I can always "borrow" it after that...

Draco smirked to himself as he and Remy stepped up to the counter. They stood there for a good minute before Draco got impatient and cleared his throat. The clerk still didn't notice them, so he cleared his throat louder. Still no notice. Remy dropped a sack of coins onto the counter and automatically the clerk turned around and smiled.

"How may I help you two today?" Draco raised an eyebrow at Remy but quickly turned his attention back to the clerk.

"We would like to purchase a Nimbus Two Thousand."

This caused the clerk to look so happy that the two kids were sure that he had wet his pants. Then when the clerk looked down in surprise and blushed in embarrassment, they were sure of it.

They both tried to stiffle a laugh as Remy poured the money out on the counter. The clerk quickly gathered it up and went to fetch a broom. As soon as he left, Remy and Draco burst out laughing. They finally brought themselves to just smile before he got back with her broom.

"Here you go ma'am. Will that be all for you, today?"

Remy nodded and then as the clerk walked away, Draco nudged her and she looked at the clerk. He was now in new pants. They started laughing again and then turned to leave. When they did, they ran into a couple of redheads.

"Oh sorry." Remy apologized and then saw Draco was looking at the boys in disgust. She frowned and then stuck out her hand to them.

"Remy. Remy Moray, nice to meet you uh..." The redheads looks away from Draco and towards her.

"Hello, I'm Fred Weasley, and this is my brother George." George smiled and shook her hand. Remy smiled at the two which seemed to be identical twins.

"Oh and this is Dra..."

"We know who he is." George interrupted and glared at Draco.

"Okay...I guess we'll be going then." Remy pulled Draco out of the store.

"Nice to meet you!" Remy yelled over her shoulder at the two boys.

After they were out of the store, Draco pulled Remy to the side and looked very serious. She was confused and was just about to ask about him and the Weasleys when he put up a hand to stop her.

"Never associate with them. Do you understand me? Never associate with muggles, mudbloods, and mudblood lovers. Okay?" Remy was going to object but decided against it and nodded. Draco's face then considerably softened and he smiled.

"Let's get back home then. We need to get ready for the ball tonight." She nodded and they began making their way towards the Leaky Cauldron.

______________________

Remy walked down the stairs to the ballroom, again accompanied by Draco. He was in his usual black dress robes, while Remy wore one of her new dresses. Her dress was a blood red velvet material, that was so dark that you could only see the red in certain lights. It was off the shoulder and flowed to the floor, but besides that it was a very simple dress.

Remy, not wanting to mess with it, pulled her hair in a bun at the back of her head, with a sliver of hair hanging out on each side, to frame her face. The look was quite simple but didn't take away from her beauty at all. She actually received a few looks from some of the younger boys and a couple from some older ones.

As Draco and Remy walked a ways into the room, Remy stopped and glared. Standing only but a few feet away was Pansy Parkinson. Draco quickly caught the problem, before anything could happen, and turned Remy towards Lucius and began walking over to him.

"Father." Lucius turned towards them and smiled as he set his eyes on Remy.

"Why hello Draco, Remy. You look lovely tonight, my dear." Remy curtsied but didn't smile.

"Lucius. And thank you." Lucius frowned but then quickly began smiling again.

"You're still mad at me? Well that's a shame because you're going to be spending most of the night with me. I need you to meet a lot of people." Remy was going to object and then remembered their deal and nodded.

"You may socialize, Draco. You're not needed." Draco looked hurt but covered it up quickly and then nodded to his father. He gave a quick smile to Remy and then walked away.

"That wasn't very nice, you know." Lucius looked like he was going to laugh at the comment but his upper-class ways wouldn't allow it.

"Come on now, its time for your introductions."

Lucius held out his arm and Remy nodded and took it. Remy greeted familiar faces along the way, until Lucius found the small group he was looking for and led her to it. She saw that there was three men in the group and none of them looked pleasant, but one was familiar.

"Gentlemen, how are you this evening?" The men turned to see them and gave their 'hello's. A particular man gave Remy a smile that sent shivers down her spine. Nevertheless, she curtsied and smiled at the men.

"Hello again, Mister Parkinson. I already had the....pleasure, of seeing your daughter again." Remy tried to sound sweet but she knew she was failing, since all the men gave a short laugh.

"Yes well, I did make sure that she won't ever do that again."

Parkinson gave her a smile and Remy could tell that Pansy went through torture. Not that Remy cared about this. Remy smiled back and then Lucius put a hand on her shoulder.

"Now then, I do believe some introductions are in order. Remy Moray, this is Igor Karkaroff and Severus Snape." Lucius pointed to each in turn. Just then, two rather dumb looking men walked up and Lucius sighed as he pointed to them.

"And this is Wardell Goyle and Nicolo Crabbe." Remy shook hands with the two brutes reluctantly and then wiped off her hand on her dress.

"Their sons will be watching Draco this year. To...look out for him. They're are doing their duty already."

Lucius pointed over to Draco who was flanked by two very stupid looking boys, which were practically identical to their fathers. Draco looked uncomfortable to have them there but did it, probably to get on Lucius' good side.

Remy gave a forced smile to the two men and Lucius, who, she could tell, thought the same about them. The two men saw that some food was brought out and walked away. Remy turned towards Lucius.

"You gave Draco bodyguards? What, do you think he'll get beat up in an alley and all his money taken?" The four men chuckled and Lucius smiled.

"No my dear, I just want to make sure he's fine. He is going off to Hogwarts soon, you know." Remy then frowned.

"What?" Remy had forgotten all about Hogwarts and how Draco would be going.

"Yes, Snape here is actually a teacher at Hogwarts." Remy nodded.

"I know." Snape looked at her and she came to her senses.

"Oh, I was um...told already. By Draco." He nodded and smiled.

"Karkaroff here, is the headmaster over at Durmstrang. " Remy smiled at him.

I can't believe I forgot all about Hogwarts. Draco will be leaving and I'll be all alone here with Lucius. Oh that'll be fun! Remy mentally sighed but kept up her good mood and began a conversation with the four men.

______________________

Remy looked over at Draco, still with Crabbe and Goyle, but was now also accompanied by Pansy and another girl. She saw how Draco was clearly disgusted with Pansy and how she couldn't take a hint. She began to get mad, not out of jealousy, but because Draco was her only friend right now, and Pansy was her enemy who was bugging him.

"Sorry gentlemen, but I'm going to socialize."

The men said their good-byes and she nodded to them. Lucius was going to object but Remy waved her hand, pretending to be brushing hair out of her face, and he found he couldn't talk. He gave her a look and she smiled in return, curtsying and walking away.

Lucius then cleared his throat, to check his voice, and was satisfied that it had returned to him. He looked where she was heading and a small smirk came over his lips, quickly disappearing as he turned back to the group.

"Where were we?"

______________________

"...and then I said...."

"Why hello, Parkinson."

Pansy looked up and blanched, as Draco smiled at his new company. Then remembering the last time they were together, his smile faded and he stepped in-between them.

"Hey Rem, finally free of Father's clutches?" Remy nodded and smiled. She then looked behind him at Pansy.

"I heard that your father.....made sure you won't be starting anymore fights. Did you learn your lesson?" Pansy didn't respond and Remy cocked her head to the side.

"I guess not, since its rude not to answer when you're asked a question. Do I need to teach you a lesson?" Pansy whimpered and then collected herself and sneered.

"You're just jealous." Remy scoffed.

"At what, may I ask? Since its certainly not that Draco likes you more than me." Pansy narrowed her eyes but then smiled.

"Well I expect that you won't be attending Hogwarts, since you're already twelve. Yet me and him, will be attending Hogwarts together. Since its a guarantee that we're both going and we're going to both be Slytherin. So we'll be able to spend a lot of time together."

Remy lost her smile and she let sadness rush across her face. As soon as it came, it was gone and anger rose into her cheeks. Remy raised her hand but it was quickly grabbed and she spun around to see who interrupted her.

"I heard you could sing, Remy. Would you please sing for us?" It was Lucius. Remy was going to object but Draco joined in.

"I think that would be a great idea. Go on, Remy." Pansy looked slightly jealous, standing in the background. Remy smirked and she nodded.

"Okay, sure."

She walked up to a small stage, which had been set up just a few moments ago. Lucius told her the spell for increasing her voice's volume and she cleared her voice before doing the spell. She looked around at everyone and smiled, and then began singing, hearing the music magically playing out of no where.

"I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah


I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby


What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five


I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah


I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet


I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign


I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby


I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano


And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Hmmmhmmmm laaa la la la la"

Remy finished it off and the music slowly died down. Everyone began clapping for her, so she smiled and curtsied. Then she walked off the stage, over to Draco and Lucius, who had moved up during the performance. She received a few 'bravo's from everyone as she made her way to them.

"That was wonderful, Rem! You have such a beautiful voice."

Draco gave her a warm smile and Remy saw a neglected Pansy walk out of the room, pouting.

Oh damn, I almost forgot. Draco is leaving soon. Summer is almost over. Oh but everyone is so happy. I'll worry about this tomorrow.

Remy danced the rest of the ball. Her partners included: Draco, Lucius, Parkinson, Snape, Nott, and Karkaroff. Lucius decided not to torture her by making her dance with either Crabbe or Goyle.

Some time in the early morning hours, everyone dispersed and Remy and Draco were allowed to go to bed. They walked each other up the stairs, stopping when they got to Remy's hallway.

"Night, Draco. See you in the morning."

"Yeah. G'night, Rem."

Remy crawled into bed, feeling very exhausted. But now that her mind was slowing down, she was unable to forget about the summer's end. She felt very sad but pulled out a small vial that she had bought while in Diagon Alley. She looked at it for a second, contemplating it, then downed the vial and laid down. Falling asleep only seconds later.

______________________

"I got it! I got it!"

Remy flew towards Draco, who was hovering near by, and held out her hand. Sitting in her palm, a small golden ball unwrapped it's wings. She had caught the snitch. Draco was trying to teach her quidditch, but first he needed to see what position she was best at.

He had let the snitch go about five minutes ago and she had already caught it. That had been her fifth time in about two hours. The first time, of course, took the longest at thirty minutes. Then slowly the time dwindled down as she got the hang of it.

Draco grabbed the snitch and smiled. She was better than him at being a seeker. It took him at least three times as long to catch the snitch, since he tended to lose it quite often. He was actually a very good beater.

The two positions both had to do with hand-eye coordination but he wasn't as quick handed as she was. Although, she did explain that was because she had become quite the pickpocket, especially after she had learned to use magic. Before then though, all she had were brains and quick hands.

"That's enough for now, let's go in for lunch."

Remy nodded and they flew down to where Dante was lying, under the shade of a huge tree. Dante sat up and stretched, then walked over and began rubbing his face on Remy's leg, purring.

"Oh hello, my beautiful kitty. Come on inside. We'll get the house elves to make you that tuna and chicken dish that you like." She picked him up and Draco put the snitch back into a box on the ground and shut it, then the two walked inside.

______________________

They were almost to the dining room when Draco stopped and groaned. Remy turned around and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to lock up the quidditch box. The balls will be able to get out!"

"Oh, do you want me to help?" Draco shook his head and smiled.

"Go on ahead. Try and butter up my father into letting us go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. You know he likes you best anyway."

Remy though about objecting, but even she knew he was right. She nodded and he headed back the way they came.

She sat down at the table and smiled at Dante, who walked over to his own miniature table in the corner. As soon as they both sat down, food appeared on each table. Dante, who only had a plate of food, began eating almost instantly. Remy, on the other hand, was about to start filling her plate when two owls swooped inside.

One owl circled around and then flew back outside, probably looking for Lucius. The second owl however, dropped a letter between her and Draco's plates. She looked down at it and frowned, a feeling of sadness flowing over her. The letter was flipped to the back, where she saw an unmistakable crest sealed on the back.

Suddenly not feeling hungry, she stood up and walked swiftly out of the room. Dante looked up at her once, watching her leave, and then returned to his meal.

Not even a minute later, Draco stumbled into the room looking exhausted. He bent over, hands on his knees and panting. He was so tired, he didn't notice that the only other occupant of the room was Dante.

"Maybe I should have gotten you're help. The snitch got out," He took a few breaths and then continued, "I tried to catch it but it kept flying in circles around me, toying with me! I was finally ab.." Draco stopped as he finally looked up and saw the table empty.

"Rem? Where are you?" He looked around and saw Dante eating off his little plate.

Well she was already here. I guess she just went to her room or the bathroom or something. I'll go ahead and start.

He walked over to the table and was about to sit down in his seat, when he saw the letter sitting on the table. He picked it up and saw the crest, practically jumping for joy, he ran as decent as was possible, all the way to Lucius' office.

When he got there he knocked on the door and burst in before he could get an answer. Unfortunately for Draco, his father was being pleasured by a very scantily dressed woman. The moment Lucius noticed him, Draco could have sworn his father would kill him.

Lucius pushed the woman off and quickly redressed himself. The woman grabbed her clothes and then threw some powder into the fireplace, saying a place and disappearing almost instantly.

Draco, during all of this, was too stunned to do anything but stand there shocked. He knew his father wasn't loyal to his mother and that he had tons of female 'friends' over all the time, Lucius told Draco this only months earlier. But Draco hadn't ever actually seen his father in the act, and he was glad. But now...

Lucius advanced on Draco, the look of death in his eyes. He pulled out his wand ready to use it, then saw the letter he was holding. He grabbed the letter out of his hand and looked at it. Almost immediately the anger faded and was replaced by a look of glee. Draco personally, had never seen his father this happy but felt very relieved he wouldn't be hurt anytime soon.

"I was wondering when this would come. So I was right..." Draco chanced speaking.

"Right about what?" Lucius looked at him and smiled.

"We're going to Diagon Alley. Go fetch Miss Moray, would you?" Draco broke into a smile and then began half running to Remy's room.

A/N: Okay, that's it. Sorry it's so short people, but I didn't want to go past this part for this chapter. So, does anyone know what the letter is? It's pretty easy. If I can get three correct guesses, I'll move this up on my list of stories to do. If not, then this will stay at the bottom of my list. Oh and the song is "Hand In My Pocket" by Alanis Morisette. Well bye guys, please R/R!
