Disclaimer: My friend and me are writing this together, and we would like to state now for the record that we own NONE of the characters in this fic, the ones from Gundam Wing belong to very rich important people in Japan, and the Harry Potter's ones belong to JK Rowling, a fantastic author! Shadowz Tenshi owns the characters Zara and Harmony, which don't appear until later in the fic. We thank you all for not sueing us!
Warnings: General madness, slight angst moments, lemons in later chapters, slash, pranks, fighting, parental bashing, character bashing, author bashing… I think that covers it all!

Prologue
"Don't worry about it, darling, it's only for the year, while we travel abroad."
Duo glared at his parents who were sitting in the front of the car while they drove towards a boarding school located out in the middle of nowhere.
Solo Maxwell glanced up into the rear-view mirror. "Cheer up, its only nine months."
"I can't see why I can't come with you!" Duo sulked, glaring angrily out of the car window at the rolling countryside. It was a hot sunny day on the 27th of August. The summer holidays had ended early for Duo, who was going to spend the next year in Dante Manor Boarding School away from everything he had every known. He had lived in London for most of his life, spending a few months in America with his grandparents during the school holidays. But his parents had decided they wanted to go touring the world and seeing as Duo was about to enter his final and most important year at school, he couldn't go with them. He had been adopted his parents when he had been 3 years old, he had no memories of his blood parents but he was more than happy living with Helen and Solo Maxwell. Well, he had been, up to the point where he had been told he was leaving London to go to some boarding school in the middle of England.
He had packed up everything he owned, half of his stuff was going into storage as his parents were renting their house for the year, and the other half was packed into the boot of the car.
"We are nearly there," Helen, commented as a grand old house appeared on the horizon.
"Fantastic," Duo groaned.
"I went to this boarding school," Solo told Duo, "for about 6 years of my life. You'll love it, I swear."
Duo rolled his eyes, "whatever you say Da."
Solo took the next turning on his left and they past through a red brick archway.
"Its so pretty," Helen cooed and Duo found himself rolling his eyes again.
Duo had already decided he was going to hate this school, and nothing no one said would make him change his mind. After a ten-minute drive Solo pulled the car to a stop outside the main building. It looked like a very large posh manor house.
They climbed out of the car, Helen's neck craned backwards so she could study the 6 floors building.
"Good afternoon,"
The Maxwell Family jumped as a man startled them. He was grinning slightly and had shoulder length black hair and his eyes glowed at Duo. Duo found himself liking this man without questioning why, it was just something in his eyes.
"I'm Sirius Black, I'm a professor at this school. I here to greet all new students and make them feel welcome."
"I'm Solo Maxwell," Duo's father held out his hand and Sirius shook it, "this is my wife, Helen," Sirius held his hand out to her and she shook his hand too, "and my son, Duo."
"Interesting name," Sirius smiled and held his hand out to Duo.
Duo glared at the hand but knew it would be rude to not accept the polite handshake.
"So is yours," he replied, smirking.
Sirius gave a quiet laugh, "shall we grab your stuff and we can show you to your room? You'll be sharing with Draco, he's already here. He's becoming here since he was 11 so you don't need to worry. If you need anything I'm sure he'll be willing to help you, if not I am always willing to be of assistance."
"We can't stay I'm afraid," Helen apologised as Solo pulled Duo's bags from the car, "our plane leaves tomorrow morning and we still have things to do back home before we go."
Duo sent his mother a frown, "you aren't going to come and see where I will be sleeping? You've only met one teacher and you are going to abandoned me here?"
"I'm sorry sweetie, I'm sure it'll be fine," Helen kissed her son on the cheek and she backed away.
"Yeah."
"We'll write and call," she promised but Duo waved her words away.
"Good bye, son. Don't get into too much trouble."
And then they were gone, leaving Duo on the steps of the school with Sirius standing there.
"I know its hard to be away from home, but everyone here is friendly and you'll fit in just fine," Sirius patted his shoulder and smiled at the violet eyed youth, "there could be worse."
"Sure there could," Duo replied.
"Come on," Sirius reached for some of Duo's stuff and Duo grabbed the rest, "I'll show you to your room."
Draco Malfoy gave a sigh as he spotted the letter on the spare desk in his room.
"Why me?" he muttered as he threw his suitcase onto his bed. Every year since he had come to this school he always got the new kid. Last time he had gotten Winner. Winner hadn't been a bad kid, he had been a little goody two shoes and a pain in the butt, but he was nice enough. But it looked like he had been moved. He touched the letter and studied the name. He screwed his nose up at it, "what sort of a name is Duo?" he scowled before turning to check he had all he needed.
When Draco had originally joined the school, he had had a room located on the lowest level of the house, where all first years stayed. Now he was in his 6th and final year he had a shared room on the top floor. There was only 50 students max in each years. It was a small student body and everyone knew everyone.
He had finished unpacking when there was a knock at his door. He moved to open it.
"Hey Draco," the small blond stood there.
"Quatre," he gave a nod in greeting.
"I'm trying to work out who is in what room."
"I'm in here, sharing with a new guy. I'm sure Black will be bring him up any time soon."
"You know who your neighbours are yet?"
"You are far too excitable," Draco said, disgusted at the blonde's hyperness.
"You have Harry and Heero next door."
"You are kidding me?" Draco groaned. Him and Harry have never hit it off, and had remained enemies since they had first arrived here five years ago. Heero was dating the headmaster's daughter.
Quatre laughed, he rather liked the other two boys, "but me and Trowa are on your other side!"
"Long as Relena isn't opposite me, I'm fine."
Quatre shrugged, "haven't talked to any girls yet."
"I don't see why you should," he smiled at the smaller boy, "I need to have a shower, Winner, good bye."
Quatre pulled a puppy look at Draco, but still bid him a good-bye and left to go to his room on the left of Draco's.
"DRACO!"
Draco cringed and pulled a fake smile at the teacher.
"Professor Black," he greeted, "its good to be back."
"Don't pull any shit on me now, Draco. This is Duo."
Draco looked at Duo, his eyes taking in the wide innocent violet eyes and the long braid of chestnut gold hair. He was dressed all in black, and carried with him two suitcases and two shoulder bags.
"Hi."
Duo's eyes travelled over the blond in front of him, gelled back hair, grey eyes, and a pair of smart black trousers with a white shirt. The boy was very pale and thin.
"Good afternoon."
"If you need anything, my room is at the end by the stairs," Sirius smiled at Duo and then at Draco, "you will take care of him won't you?"
"Certainly," Draco smiled pleasantly back as Sirius disappeared and he stepped back to let Duo into the room. He slammed the door shut and turned to Duo "Your key to this room, your bed, your desk, your drawers, your space for any hanging clothes, the bathroom. Don't touch my stuff, don't talk unless I talk to you, got it?" Draco turned to go into the bathroom but was stopped by Duo.
"I don't take shit, and I can give shit back to those who give it to me. I'll do what I fucking want in this room, as it is mine as well as yours. I'm not happy about being here; I don't want to share a room with you. But if you choose to make my life hell, then I'll send you there myself."
A wand appeared in Duo's hand and he smiled at Draco innocently.
"Are you threatening me with that? I can do magic too you know."
"I don't doubt it, but the magic I learned off the streets back home will be nothing like the magic you know."
Draco smirked at Duo, "you've got spirit."
"So?"
Draco held out his hand, "Draco Malfoy, pleasure to met you."
"Duo Maxwell," he reached out to take the hand offered.
"Where you from?"
"London. Public school."
"Why the sudden change to a private school?"
"Parents have gone off on a trip around the world."
"Nice for them."
"I don't plan on liking it here."
"I said that when I first arrived. Everyone does. The teachers are all right most of them are cool. The lessons are fun, especially the magical ones. Not all the students here can do magic, but we all play quidditch."
Duo shrugged, "don't play that in London."
"I'll teach you how to play. The student body is small, we all know each other. To our left is Winner and Barton, a very active couple. To our right, Potter and Yuy. Yuy is dating the bitch from hell, and the headmaster's daughter. Potter is an asshole in himself, self-righteous and teacher's pet. It is my mission in life to bring him down from his fucking cloud."
Duo gave Draco an evil grin.
"This could be fun!"
TBC…
