Chapter5

"Harry this is our fifth session and you still haven't figured out who I am, have you?"

"Your Dr. Douglas Matthews."

"No, who I used to be."

"You used to be, what do you mean?"

"After Hogwarts, I got into the Wizard Protection Program."

"Why? Who were you?"

"My father was in Voldemort's inner circle, just preceeding graduation, They tried to force me to become a Deatheater. I fled, got a new persona, my mother was murdered soon after my dissapearence. I was Draco Malfoy. I went through extensive therepy, my first year at university. After four years, I graduated with a degree in Psychology."

"I can see it, can't believe I didn't figure out it was you! You don't slick your hair back anymore."

"Yeah, and for about a year and a half I had brownish black hair."

"Wow! You know, I have nothing against you. I put all that crap behind me, years ago."

"I can tell, you haven't cursed me yet. I've put everything between us behind me years ago, all it was was useless pettyness from years of being brainwashed."

"But you got out, you got away from the torture."

"Yeah, I was luckier then many others."

"Why don't you come over sometime? I doubt Hermione would mind too much, as long as you don't make fun of her being a muggleborn."

"Yes, your new roommate. Ginny told me about that, I was unbrainwashed you know, who cares Muggleborn, Pureblood, Muggle, half-blood, what does it matter?"

"Good, How could Ginny tell you, How'd she know?"

"Ginny's my fiance, her family doesn't know yet, they do know we're dating however. I remet her at University, we've been together almost three years now, she knows who I was, I get along with the Weasley's, which probably wouldn't happen if they knew who I used to be, when we get married I'm taking her name, I'm going to be a Weasley!"

Harry started to crack up, then got out, "Remember in school, how much you made fun of them?"

"Boy do I! And I feel terrible for it."

"So, what day are you going to come by?"

"How about Friday at eight? Can Ginny come too?"

"Works for me, wait a minute, how did Ginny know Hermione and I are roommates, I haven't spoken or heard from her in five years?"

"Uh... Ron told her."

"Okay."

"Ope, our hours up. guess we talked too long about things long forgotten, see you Friday, Harry."

"Bye, Dra... Doug?"

"Yes, Doug."

~~~~~~~

"Good Morning, Hermione!" Harry greeted cheerfully.

"Hi Harry,"she answered lacklusterly.

"What's wrong, 'Mione?"

"I'm bored."

"Well, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know!"

"Hmm... shall we finish moving? We have company Friday."

"Who's coming over?"

"My Psychiatrist."

"Aren't you not supposed to have contact outside the office?"

"He's going to be family though, well... sort of."

"Why?"

"He's Ginny's boyfiend, actually now fiance, but no one else knows that..."

"Your doctor, Douglas Matthews is Ginny's fiance!"

"Yeah.." hw trailed off.

"What else is there Harry? Something the matter with him?"

"No, he's great, used to hate him, but he's changed, he's a totally different guy, from Hogwarts."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you remember Malfoy, Draco Malfoy?"

"Yeah, what about him, he dissappeared right after graduation."

"He's no longer Draco Malfoy, he was going to be forced to join the Deatheaters, he didn't want to, Dumbledore helped him, put him in a protection program, his initials are still DM."

Hermione's eyes bulged, "Ginny's dating, engaged to Draco Malfoy!!!"

"Yes but, No, Douglas Matthews, He's going to become Douglas Weasley, when they get married."

"Does she know?"

"Yeah."

"Do the Weasley's know?"

"No, but they like who he's become, he's even one of Ron's new pals, with the absensce of us."

"Really!!! Draco and Ron! Or I guess now, Doug and Ron!"

"Yeah."

"Talk about Ironic."

"Your telling me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They cleared out there old places and returned the keys to Ron. Now the question was: Where would they put everything? They had already moved most of the big stuff in, now they had to organize everything else, books and all. They did, just took a couple of days and half the nights.

'Knock. Knock.' Hermione opens the door. "Hello, you must be Dr. Matthews?"

"Doug, and you're Hermione, is Harry here?"

"Yes, he's in the kitchen."

"Doing what may I ask?"

"Cooking."

"And what will be for dinner?"

"Chicken Stir Fry," Harry said as he came out, "Would you like anything to drink?"

"Butterbeer, if you have it?"

"Yep, Hermione?"

"Same."

"Coming right up."

About a minute later he came back out with four bottles of Butterbeer."

"Thanks Harry."

"Thanks."

"Your both welcome."

'Ding.'

"Ope, there's the food done, it'll be out in a minute."

"I'll come help you, Harry."

'Knock. Knock.'

"Harry, Hermione, I'm going to get the door, that's probably Ginny."

"Alright Doug."

"Doug, did you leave me for my practically sister, and might as well be my seventh brother?"

"No."

"I was kidding."

"And you didn't let me finish, Luv, the eigth and ninth Weasley children are in the kitchen getting dinner."

"Wonderful timing on my part then."

"Absolutely Ginny, wow, I haven't seen you in o, five years?"

"Yeah, Harry, and you too Hermione."

"Sorry, I was a busy Auror/ Protester."

"And I was a busy Auror/ recluse."

"Oh, you sure were, you diddn't call on your best friend for five years! But three of those we were both in training, so explain the last two, Harry, why diddn't you visit your old friend?"

"I diddn't have time, I diddn't want to mess up your life again!"

"And when have you ever messed up my life, Harry?"

"Oh, I don't know, seven years at Hogwarts. First year, dragged you off in search of the stone, second year, you were petrified and turned into a cat, third year, The Dementors, fourth," he was cut off.

"Enough, Harry, it's not your fault, I willingly went with you, You're MY BEST FRIEND, I'd give my life to save you."

"So, would I. Hermione, I would and will do anything to protect you." It seemed as if the dinner guests dissappeared in the two's eyes, reality. Actually, Doug and Ginny were seriously considering on leaving. The two seemed to snap out of there daze, noticing Doug and Ginny, once again.

"Ready to eat?" Harry asked.

"Yes, let's," Hermione seconded. And the four caught up as they ate, yes even Draco, uh I mean DOUG.

~~~~~~~~~~~

About ten O' clock, Doug and Ginny left, going down to see Ron.

"Ginny! Doug! How'd it go?"

"Excellent, boy can Harry cook!"

"I know, he's amazing!"

"Ron, your right, it's obvious."

"You mean, you both noticed?"

"Yeah, especially considering they spaced into there own little world for awhile there."

"Really!"

"Yep."

"So, any ideas how to get themto admit there feelings?"

few minutes later.........

"Ahh, I got it!"

"Got what, Ron?"

"What if we sent them on a 'vacation'?"

"And how would we rope them into that?"

"Hmm, not sure, we're pairing them in the wedding party."

"Wedding party! When's your wedding going to be, Ron?"

"May fifth."

"Who're you asking to be best man? Luna's Maid of Honor?"

"Harry and Hermione, and both of you, and we're not quite sure after that."

"Yeah, we do have a lot of brothers."

"That's for sure."

"Our weddings tentitively in November, so we'll have to get them back by then."

"DOUG!"

"Wedding! My baby sister's engaged!"

"Yes! We've been engaged for a month, now."

"And you diddn't tell me!"

"No, we still have to tell Mum and Dad, and our other brothers."

"What if, we say we're sending them on a vacation, but just lock them in a room till they admit there feelings?"

"That's what we should do, perfect Doug!"

"So, when then?"

"After my wedding?"

"How?"

"One way Portkey."

"But to where?"

"Hmm?" Maybe Dumbledore knows somewhere."

"Excellent!"

"We should probably consult Hermione's parents, Mum and Dad, and Remus first, eh?"

"Oh, definitely."
