Chapter Two: Dumbledore's Arrival
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco Malfoy lay on his large silver and green bed in the Slytherin dorm room that he had inhabited most of his school life at Hogwarts. Malfoy money had ensured since his second year that he had a private room and bathroom for himself after the incident with Goyle and himself in the boys' dorm room. Goyle had denied point blank talking to Draco that night during the Christmas holidays; he had insisted he had been knocked cold by eating so floating cake. Back then he had not believe Goyle and calling him a liar had led to Draco landing a black eye and Goyle a couple of broken fingers were Draco had bitten him hard!
Of course, Draco had over heard one of the Weasley twins bragging about how their brother had snuck into the Slytherin common room with Potter. It had meant an apology to Goyle and Draco had led the Slytherins to Professor Snape about the breech in their society. But events at school during their third year had made their potions master forgetful and Potter and the Weasle had never been punished, but Potter was hardly never out of detention and to stir things up would have been unMalfoy like in the sense, Draco had known the secret about Snuffles. Sadly, he had never had the chance to use this knowledge to his advantage.
Pity Potter never knew that his precious Snuffles had been in more danger from the Malfoys than the Ministry, who could not find a cat in a hat! All this time they had chance to capture Voldermort and they hadn't. A silver tear threatened to slip down Draco's porcelain white cheek. He fought to maintain his thoughts on happier days and hopelessly tried to ignore the facts that his mother could be dead or being tortured for saving him and the fact his father was imprisoned for a being a traitor.
With a sigh Draco lent back against his fluffy pillow. All he could do now was wait. Wait for sleep. Wait for death. Wait for whatever was to come next. With that Draco fell into a deep sleep filled with dark dreams that remained him why he prayed that his father would not be release. All his fears began and ended with one man: Voldermort.

Professor Dumbledore arrived in his office during the time Draco Malfoy lay fast asleep in his private room. With him he had brought other residences. Draco was not the only one unsafe in the outside world. A shaken and dusty Harry Potter, his cousin Dudley and Remus Lupin and Professor Snape had all made the train journey back with him. This night had made orphans of three sixteen year old.
The old sorting hat sat on his stand glaring at the headmaster. "I told you that it was important to unite otherwise all would fall."
"The old I told you so, is a little late here." A voice addressed the hat from behind Dumbledore." "Minerva, I hear you had an unexpected arrival." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall returned the brief smile then laid so papers on the desk. "Mr Malfoy's appearance was to say unexpected. And your own arrival Albus could not have been better planned. I saw Mr Potter and his Muggle cousin being escorted by Severus towards the ground floor guest rooms. Albus what has happened to allow a Muggle into Hogwarts?"
Dumbledore's reply surprised both himself and Minerva who had never heard the headmaster sound his age or world-weary. "The world end Minerva, now it is just a matter of time before Voldermort storms our world. I fear Minerva all my plotting and planning has been a waste Voldermort has grown too strong."
Professor McGonagall said down hard in the chair next to the fireplace in Dumbledore's office watching the solemn looking headmaster. Sixteen years ago they had left a baby on the doorstep of his aunt and uncle's house believing he would be safe and would be the saviour of their world.

Ok, I know this is a short update but it a quick brief flash into the frame of minds of the characters, plus I wanted to introduce an event that happened to Harry to get him back to Hogwarts. Plus I thought a little revenge magic on Dudley from Draco might be funny and so deserved. I thought this might be were the relationship between Draco and Harry begins. Feedback on this idea would be great. Thank you, hope you enjoyed. Next update on Friday.
