A huff above him brought his attention back up to Pomfrey, but not before he saw Severus crack a smile.
"What is it with you young ones and swearing? I swear, it gets on my nerves!" Pomfrey glared down at the boy below her and then at the potions master. "I want you to drink this potion, Mr. Malfoy, so you can get some sleep."
Sighing in resignation, Draco took the sleeping draught she gave him, and nodded. "Healers orders..." he murmered under his breath. He quickly tipped back the vial and handed it back to Pomfrey. Within seconds, he was out cold.
"Now Severus," Pomfrey said with a little glint in her voice, "I want you to drink this as well. You look dead on your feet!"
[A/N: yes, a glint in her voice...]
Looking quickly up at that, Severus started to back away as fast as possible. "Now, Poppy, there are...things...that I need to speak to Albus with. They're...umm...inportant! No time to waste, you know." With that said, he quickly left the hospital wing in a flurry of billowing robes.
~^v^~
'I did NOT just act like that in front of Poppy!' Severus growled at himself. 'That was completely NOT like me! How could I act like a little school boy trying to get out of chores?' Mentally berating himself, he stormed up to the gargoyle protecting Dumbledore's office. "Chocolate Frogs" he said, and watched as the gargoyle jumped aside.
Climbing up the spiral stairs, Severus opened the door to Albus's office. Seeing the older man at his desk, he went up to him.
"Ah, Severus, I see that your mission was successful? Could you possibly take these up to the owlry?"
Looking closer to the man he had known for years, Severus saw that for the first time in a very long time, Albus Dumbledore looked his age. He looked tired and worn, and ready to finally leave.
Taking the letters from the slightly shaking hand, he asked "What are these for?"
A slight part of the everlasting twinkle usually present in his eyes returned somewhat. "Ah, there is a letter to the Weasley's telling them that Mr. Potter has been removed from the Dursley's care and that no they may not visit and he cannot stay at their house, one to Miss Granger that basically says the same, one to Remus and Sirius that gives more information about what happened and requesting their presence here--"
"But, Albus, isn't it dangerous for Black to come here?" Severus asked, looking slightly confused. "I mean, is he not still on the run?"
"Yes, he is, and he would be if anyone found out he was here. But, no one ever said that Remus could not bring his dog with him." A smile crept over Albus's face when he saw the confused look slide away to a more pleased one. "Anyway, the last two are to the Ministry of Magic, and one to Draco's grandfather."
Smiling at the thought of how Narcissa's father would react to what was in the letter, he nodded and turned to leave.
"Oh, and Severus? When you are done sending them off, please get some rest." Glancing over his sholder, Severus spared Albus a second glance to show he would and left quickly.
~^v^~
A bright light slowly crept onto Harry's closed eyes that morning. Groaning, he rolled onto his side away from the window, only to hear another groan. Quickly opening his eyes, he saw that none other than Draco Malfoy was doing the same as him.
A bustling sound drew him away from his study of his arch-rival, Harry looked around and spotted Madam Pomfrey gathering some beakers from a cart and putting them away onto different shelves.
Seeing her start to glance his way, he feigned sleep, knowing it wouldn't work. "Good, you're awake, Mr. Potter. That means that Mr. Malfoy will be awake in about a half an hour." Coming over to the dark-haired boy, she ordered him to stand up for her so he could go take a shower.
Making sure he was steady on his feet, she guided Harry to the bathroom, and made sure he had enough towels, washclothes, etc. Walking back out, she noticed Draco start to rouse out of his deep sleep into a lighter one.
Fifteen minutes later, the door to the bathroom opened and a slightly damp Harry came out wearing muggle pyjamas. He glanced around, and his eyes rested on Draco, who was finally waking up fully from his potion-induced sleep.
Silver-grey eyes opened with a slight groan and fell on the other boy. Closing his eyes breifly, Draco looked around and saw Madam Pomfrey coming towards him.
"Mr. Malfoy, if you would please stand and follow me so you can take a shower before the Headmaster wishes to speak with both of you." Pomfrey glanced at Harry, and clearly told him with her eyes to stay put and not move until she came back.
Draco nodded, feeling dirtier than he could remember being. Following closely, he wondered why the Golden Boy was in the hospital wing at Hogwarts during the SUMMER. 'His home life can't be nearly as bad as mine, I mean, he's the fuckin' GOLDEN BOY. Those stupid muggles probably treat him like royalty.' Noticing that he was now alone in the bathroom, he quickly got down to business.
After his shower, Draco got dressed into a pair of silk green pyjamas the same type he saw on Potter before his shower. Leaving the bathroom, he noticed a house elf come to clean up. Back in the infirmary, Draco noticed that Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall ahd arrived. Severus noticed Draco first and motioned him over to where they were all sitting.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, did you enjoy your shower?" the Headmaster asked, looking highly amused as if they were talking about something funny before he came out. "Now, if you all would follow me to my office, we can get down to business." Standing up, everyone followed the old man out of the infirmary to his office tower, where they all sat down in the many seats placed around the desk. Fawkes looked at everyone and trilled a happy song.
Sitting down behind his desl, the Headmaster cleared his throat for everyone's attention. Glancing at the two boys, he offered them all a lemon drop. Getting polite declines, and some not-so polite, he got down to business.
"Now, Harry, Draco, I know what has been happening at both of your houses, and the three of us feel that the both of you should get extra lessons to protect yourselves. Voldemort is after both of you, I know, one longer than the other, and we feel that Hogwarts is the safest place for you."
"Wait..." asked Draco. "Can't I stay at my grandfather's chateau? I would be saf--"
"No, Draco, you would not be staying there. He is not even staying there at this time." Severus said with some little amusement at the look on the pale boy's face. "He is, in fact, coming here for the summer, at least." He almost laughed out loud at the shock, the horror that passed along Draco's expression.
"Oh, no... Grandpa Corren coming here? Hogwarts will never be the same..." Draco lamented into his hands. It took all his will power not to go off screaming and laughing at the same time.
"Um.. Malfoy? Who's this 'Corren' guy?" Harry asked, feeling curious. 'If anyone makes Malfoy act like this, they're cool in my book.'
"He's my mother's step-father, and probably the biggest prankster around. He is most likely even worse than those Mauraders." Harry looked at Draco, and wondered why he would give out such information to him, when the last part finally hit him.
"Sweet! So, when do we meet him?" A huge shit-eating grin was plastered on Harry's face, while Draco looked on in abject horror. Looking at Draco, Harry just asked "What? My dad was a Maurader, so was Remus, and my godfather--"
"Who, by the way, are coming back this summer to help teach you two--"
"Really??? When--"
[A/N: What do you think?? He just found out he doesn't have to go back to the Dursleys, and both his mentors (Sirius and Remus) are coming back to see him. Would not you act this way as well? I would...]
"Now, Harry, calm down." the Headmaster warned. "First, back to the lessons you will both be taking. Now, where are your wands?" At this, both boys looked away and muttered under their breaths. "Draco, what about you?"
"Well, Headmaster, Voldemort snapped it in half after I refused the Dark Mark." Looking down again, Draco was ashamed to feel tears start to mist his eyes.
Nodding his head, Dumbledore looked at Harry. He was scribbling something down on what looked like a small notebook. "Harry, what is that? And what about your wand?"
"Oh, this is my i'Reasons to kill Moldywart'/i list. "I've had way too much time to think lately, so last summer I started this list--"
"Moldywart?" Severus asked in shock. "How do you get that name from Voldemort--wait, I see how you get it, but why?"
"Easy, if you look real close at his face, he has this wart on the tip of his chin and it is all hairy and disgusting." Harry replied with a huge smile on his face. At this, everyone in the room at least smiled, even Severus and Minerva. "Do you want to hear anything on the list??"
"Not today, Harry. If we could get back to business?"
~^v^~
"Harry, can I talk to you in private?" Dumbledore asked the boy as he stood up to leave with the others. "It will only be a moment." Harry nodded and sat back down in his recently vacated chair. "How are you faring, my boy?"
Noticing the serious tone in the Headmaster's voice, he knew that Dumbledore was on to him and he wouldn't be able to lie. "How do you think?" A tired note sounded in his voice. "This is my last year here, I have to face Voldemort by myself, I see everything he does to torture his victims, and I feel like shit! How else do you think I'm faring. By the way, I'm out of those depressant pills you sent me." Looking around at the myrad of things littering the shelves, he all but whispered the last part.
"I know, Harry, but I wanted you to say it out loud. It does help when you talk about it with someone." Seeing that he would not be getting the boy out of his shell today, he sighed. "Maybe some other day, yes?? That will be all, Minerva is waiting for you at the statue to show you to your new rooms."
Since both he and Malfoy were in hiding, they were assigned a small suite of roome each that were connected by a common room. He followed Professor McGonagal through a series of passageways that went up then down, then back up. 'They probably put us together to see if he can bring me out of my so-called shell.' Harry thought with a little malice towards the Professors and life in general. 'Now, to see what this mystery room looks like. Where are we going, anyways?'
