Because it's the Easter Holidays, I should Hopefully be able to update at
least every two days, but when I get back to school, I doubt I'll have the
time.
Anyway, someone asked for the story of how Draco and Harry became friends. Here's my reply to that, I haven't yet written it. I've got loads of ideas on how to make them friends, I just never really been bothered to write them down, but I will get round to it eventually, probably in a flashback.
Disclaimer: Am I JK Rowling? No! Do I need to say anymore?
"spoken"
// thought //
//: mental conversation between Harry and Draco ://
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
.:: Chapter Four ::.
//: Remind me again as to why we let Percy talk us into this :// Draco's voice broke into Harry's mind.
//: Cos he's the Minister for Magic and so we do what he tells us. Besides, it's our departments job to protect lives. Indirectly we're helping to stop Voldemort. :// Harry replied.
//: Yeah I know that, especially with our spy :// Draco said.
//: Try not to tell anyone about him. It's hard enough to get any low ranking Death Eaters to turn spy for Voldemort, their too bloody scared of what happened to Severus and Charles :// Harry said breathlessly.
//: You ok mate? :// Draco asked.
//: Yeah, just jumping over some spiders ://
//: Anyway I know that we're lucky. He's practically Voldemort's right hand man :// Draco said.
//: Hate to tell you it, but he is Voldie's right hand man :// Harry grinned in his panther form.
//: Anyway, getting back to the original point, why exactly are we here, at Hogwarts? ://
//: Because their worried about it. They want to be able to train kids up so they can join in with the fight against Voldemort ://
//: Still sucks. Are you almost finished yet? :// Draco asked.
//: Yeah, my end of the Forbidden Forest is clear now, I'm heading back to the castle to meet with the others. You finished? ://
//: Nearly, the end is in sight and then I'm outta here :// Draco replied.
//: I forgot that you were scared of this place :// Harry grinned too himself, remembering their first year trip into the Forest.
//: I'm not scared! I just think it's best if we all meet at the same time :// Draco replied.
//: Whatever Dray. Want me to come and collect you? :// Harry asked innocently.
//: You're dead when I see you Potter! :// Draco half-shouted.
//: I highly doubt you'd be able to kill me, no one can :// Harry laughed.
//: Really? SO that's why the majority of the wizarding world thinks you're dead :// Draco said, smirking.

"So Albus, how do you like the ones that I've sent you to protect the school?" Percy Weasley spoke to the aging Headmaster.
"We've only seen two, last night," a cold voice said. Severus Snape.
"Well, the other four had a problem to deal with on the Isle of Wight. They should have arrived though." Percy said thoughtfully. "Have you seen either Ben Jones or Michael Glass today?"
"No," said Albus, "but I got the impression last night that they didn't really want to spend much time in the Great Hall."
"Hmmm," Percy said, "I think I'll insist that they eat there, less work for the House-Elves."
"Percy Weasley! If you do that you'll have six very dangerous people after you're blood!" A female voice cried next to his ear.
"Sarah, you wouldn't hurt the Minister of Magic now would you?" Percy teased his friend. "Why exactly are you and Kevin wet?" He asked, surveying the one standing next to her also looking murderous.
"We were checking the security of the Lake," Kevin shrugged.
"Hey Percy!" A voice called through the doors to the Entrance Hall.
Grinning, "Hey Ron! How's the teaching going?"
"Terrible, I feel like cursing the children," Ron replied, smiling at his brother.
"I feel like doing that all the time at work," Sarah grinned.
"Hey! You don't work with children," Kevin glared at her.
"No you're right, I work with four children and one adult," she teased.
"Hi, I'm Ronald Weasley," he held out his hand.
"Sarah Walles, we work in the Department of Security," she introduced herself.
"Yeah the shadow-police right?" Ron said.
"Something like that." Holding out his hand, Kevin said, "Kevin Thorogood." Turning back to his colleague, "I know that Draco, Jonesy and Mikey are fools, but seriously, that's no way to talk about Harry."
"Who said I said Harry was a kid?" Sarah grinned, noticing slight tensing on each of the Hogwarts staff present.
"I did, honestly, I'm surprised he's still alive. And Draco too! They'll end up dying from alcohol poisoning," Percy said, exasperated.
"Talking about me and Dray again Percy?" Harry's cheerful voice entered the conversation.
"HARRY! Don't do that!" Percy half-shouted at him.
Nodding to the professors, he then turned to his work-mates, "Have you heard from Jonesy and Mike yet?"
"Nope, where's Draco?" Kevin asked.
"Still in the forest, I think he got lost," Harry grinned.
"Nope, he's out of there and I think he's intent of taking a limb off you" Sarah smiled at her head of department.
"That would make sense, I did indirectly say he's a coward and directly say that he's scared of the forest. Excuse me all," Harry jumped over their hands and transfigured himself into his panther form again and ran towards a silver haired wolf, Draco.
//: Now, now, it's not nice to try and kill someone when their working :// Harry taunted his friend.
//: Kill? Now, I just thought it would be nice to send you to the Hospital Wing, you haven't been there in eight years, you really should get reacquainted again :// Draco grinned.
Both creatures neared each other and started circling each other.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Albus Dumbledore, Ron Weasley and Severus Snape stood in shock. It was Harry Potter that had just spoken to them and now he and Draco were looking like they were going to attack each other. Percy was looking annoyed. Sarah and Kevin were joined by two more, Jonesy and Mikey.
"Who did what this time?" Jonesy asked grinning.
"I think Harry called Dray a coward," Kevin bounced on the balls of his feet.
"I bet ten Galleons that Harry will come out of top," Jonesy said.
"I bet ten Galleons that Harry'll have the most scars to show for this fight." Kevin said.
"Excuse me? You're betting on the outcome of this fight?" Severus looked like he was going to explode at four of his former students.
"You're point?" Jonesy asked casually, watching the two animals attack each other.
"Relax, professor," Sarah said calmly, "they are always fighting."
"Good to know that some things never change," Ron said, smiling.
Sarah laughed, "You should come on a mission with us. The boys are always duelling each other. But luckily Harry doesn't always join in, so I have some company that isn't trying to decapitate each other."
"Hey! I resent that! We never try to decapitate each other," Kevin said.
"That's right, we just what to win, that's all," Jonesy finished.
"Ouch! That's gotta hurt!" Michael said, his eyes fixed on the fight.
"And it was Harry who struck the blow, and he's won! Gimme my money mate," Jonesy held his hands out to Kevin.
"Betting on the outcome again Jonesy?" Harry asked.
"It's easy money," he replied.
"No it's not, their always changing the way they fight," Kevin said.
"Yeah so no one can get an advantage on them fools," Sarah quipped.
"Wow, that's looks bad Draco, let's take a look at it in our rooms," Jonesy said seeing the blood gush out from the wounded blond.
"Thanks, that would be helpful," Draco grinned.
"Hey, you were asking for it! And you've had worse wounds than that!" Harry said defensively.
"Yeah, most of them from you!" Draco retorted and was met with a smile.
"Harry, Sarah, can I have a word before you go in?" Percy called.
"Sure, met you four in the room," Harry called and walked over to the Minister, Sarah by his side.
"Michael's transfer is ready. All you have to do is tell him." Percy said.
"Pity," Harry said bitterly.
"Harry!" He heard the sharp voice of his friend.
"I know Sarah, it's just the poor kid can't help who he's attracted to." Harry reasoned.
"I know, but you also know that he's been lacking in the ability to keep up with us." Sarah replied.
"I know! It's just gonna be a fabulous start to the mission. By the way Mikey, you're fired, you're being transferred to the Department of Boringdom." Harry said sarcastically.
"Well on the bright side, you might get a replacement that's attracted to Draco again." Percy grinned.
Sarah tried to hide a snicker as Harry glared at Percy.
"Hi Percy," A brown-haired witch ran to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Hi Hermione," Percy greeted her back.
She turned to Harry and Sarah, her mouth dropped. Grinng at her, "Hi 'Mione, long time no see," she nodded. Harry turned back to Percy. "And I can't see the bright side of that! Kelly Lidman was a bloody pain in the arse with that crush on Draco." He said frowning.
"Dear old Kelly, but the bright side was, you found out that Draco was a great kisser!" Sarah grinned.
Harry turned to her, "I'm never getting drunk again. Or for that matter, helping out a friend." Percy and Sarah burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Kevin had returned.
"Harry and Draco's relationship when Kelly's around," Sarah breathed out.
Harry scowled as a big smile appeared on the man's face. "I don't see the funny side to it. She developed a crush and nothing Dray did would get her to leave him alone. All I did was pretend to be his boyfriend while she was around! Get a Grip! It's not funny!" Harry growled.
"Sorry Harry," the three that knew him said quickly.
"Jesus Flipping Merlin!" Harry turned and walked into the castle, leaving three people laughing lightly and four very confused professors.
