Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter then you do. Unless you are J.K.
Rowling, or somebody with a claim to Harry Potter's fame. In which case, I
point you to a better fic, like Father's Sin, or Not Myself, or Mirror of
Maybe. Oh, and I don't own One Tin Soldier either. And furthermore, I don't
own any of the characters or places. At least not yet. Anyway, I don't
even own the DVDs. My parents bought them. And I don't have a lego harry.
My sister does. I don't. I assure you, I don't own Harry Potter. *a voice
from under the bed says 'that's right, she's just bribing me to stay
here.'* Shhh, Harry! Shut up! And where's Seamus, dangit!

Chapter 2
Harry heard a knock on the door. He had cast a spell on the door so that only if it was either someone he wanted to talk to, or something important he would hear the knock, because he had been having trouble with wizards trying to get in and talk to him. "Come in," he called out. The door opened and Jade and Aiden came in.
"Harry, ya know haw we never stopped by Ollivanders?" Aiden said. Harry nodded.
"Thats because we made you one that you'll probably like more." Jade handed him a box. Harry opened it and smiled. Phoenix feather, from the holly tree he was found under. Jade smiled at his look of surprise. "Yes, I know it's exactly like the last one we made for you. What you probably haven't realized is the charms we put on it."
"Huh? You put charms on it?"
Aiden nodded enthusiastically . "'Break me not,' 'use magic with me not,' and 'Speak human, dammit!' Charms. And of course we put the 'Notice not the charms we put on this wand' charm. Of course only the 'break me not' isn't a thought saying 'don't do that!' I'd hate to get you in a situation you couldn't protect yourself because you had no wand."
Harry smiled. "You came up with a new spell, huh?"
Jade laughed. "What clued you in?"
"Your the only mages I know that would put the word dammit in the title."
"Really." Jade stated. "You think Silver wouldn't have come up with that spell?" Harry shook his head. "Why not?"
Harry looked at her. "I know Silver. She would /never/ use dammit in the title. Thats saved for her 'Gimme hot chocolate /now/, dammit!' spell."
*************************
A few days later Jade and Aiden had to go back to underhill for a meeting and, knowing these meetings, Harry didn't expect them back before school started. He filled his time hanging out with Draco, whose room was next door. When Draco was busy he would read one of his school books. One day during breakfast, he told Draco he would be busy, and to please not disturb him. Having gotten his promise, he put heavy guards over his room to put a spell on his owl which would allow her to fly underhill. He had already named her Hedwig, a name he found in History of Magic, but now was time to give her her full name, which would let his elven friends now the spells put on her. He went into his trunk to get his harp, aranged himself and his owl on the bed, and fell into a trance. Playing an interesting tune on his harp, he began singing in elven. Then he repeated it, in english.
I know that the place in which I was raised, With my family, time in my home sort of hazed. They live in a place of no human may know, I spell I cast, so there you may go.
He then repeated it elven once more, then looked at the owl sitting on her perch. Her full name ws Hedwig Muri-koutei, which simply means 'impossible flight.' Which is what she would take, in order to deliver letters to his home.
He took down the wards, and peeked into Draco's not-so-open door. Draco was napping on his bed. /Tsk, tsk. Sleeping when we should be at lunch./ He sat down on a chair and started playing his harp. He hadn't realized he had even brought it with him. He was playing a song that Jade used to sing to him when he was little. He had to concentrate on the fingering, it was more complicated then he was used to.
Listen, children to a story that was written long ago (Draco wakes up about here, Harry doesn't notice) 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below. On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor; Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven; you can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgement day On the bloody morning after One Tin Soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill. Came an answer from the kingdom, "With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."
Go ahead and hate your neighbor; Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven; you can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgement day On the bloody morning after
One Tin Soldier rides away. Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses; draw your sword," And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark with red, Turned the stone and looked beneath it: "Peace on Earth" was all it said.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor; Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven; you can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgement day On the bloody morning after One Tin Soldier rides away.
"That was pretty, Potter." Draco said after Harry finished the song. Harry looked at him.
"When did you wake up?"
"during the first line." Draco walked over to his trunk, and pulled out a flute, and went through his scales. Then he looked up and grinned. "Wanna do a duet?"
Harry shrugged. "Why not? What should we play?" Draco started the instrumental at the beginning of One Tin Soldier. Harry joined in, singing once more.
*******************
Eventually September 1st rolled around. Harry and Draco got to the platform early - before the train early. So they pulled out their instruments, and harry left his harp case open. They played a bunch off songs they both knew. Harry played a Japanese traditional song, and Draco listened to it, and tried on his flute. Harry smiled, and played it again, singing this time. Only he didn't sing the original lyrics. When a Japanese seventh year heard him she laughed and tossed a knut into his case. Then Harry heard the two boys Jade liked telling him the train was here. He told Draco, who continued the song as he chose a seat towards the back. "So, was that girl laughing about?" he asked.
"Well, I wasn't singing the normal version.."
"What? What were you singing?"
Harry picked up the harp. "Mind you, this all rhymes in Japanese." And started to sing. (A/N: I didn't see if this rhymes in Japanese. This isn't based off a real song either. *shaking her finger* No stupid flames cause I'll just burn dead bodies of flamers in them.)
"Walking to school with a few people Many cherry blossoms blew in the wind My god, these things are attacking me! I cant see, I can't find my way. Why me? I grumbled Why me? Because my sister put super glue on them and has a fan up in that tree, and I put a frog in her bed last week.
So ya see. its kinda funny. The original is a wedding song about cherry blossoms."
Draco looked at him oddly. "I see."
Harry pulled out a notebook and a mechanical pencil. Clicking the top, he looked at Draco, and started drawing quickly.
"What are you doing, Potter?"
"Well, I'm out of film, and that was such a funny look on your face, it deserved to be put down on paper. So I drew your head," Harry stated, showing Draco a sketch of him with an odd look on his face. Draco looked at him. Harry laughed, signed and dated the bottom, and put it back in his bag.
Just then a boy with red hair and dirt on his nose poked his head in. "May I sit here? Everywhere else is full." Harry nodded, and the boy sat down next to him. Draco was playing his flute again, oblivious to the world around him. The boy offered his hand. "Ron Weasley," he introduced himself.
"Harry." Harry offered and shook hands.
Harry bought the cart of candy when it came around, ignored that it was there except for to occasionally eat a piece of chocolate, and offer Ron as much as he wanted. Harry pulled out his harp and joined in with Draco, talking with Ron while playing. (He didn't need to concentrate as much, he practiced a lot over the summer.)
A girl with frizzy brown hair looked in, and asked "Have you seen a toad?" She received a shake of the head from Ron and Draco, and a "No, I'm afraid we haven't," from Harry. "You have dirt on your nose, did you know? Just there?" she told Ron, who tried to wipe it off, but just smeared it more. "You should change into your robes, I expect we'll be there soon." Having said that, she left. Ron, Harry and Draco then changed into their robes.
Hearing the awed 'oooooooooooooooo's and 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh's, they looked out the window. Harry spotted it first. "Look, Ron, Draco! Its Hogwarts!"
"Where?" Ron asked stupidly, looking at the last of the candy. Draco whacked him on the head and pointed out the window. "Oh," he said, then adding "oooooo." and sounded even stupider.

A/N: Ok, I'm afraid that I didn't put in any movie or book references. But if you've read any of the stories I mentioned in the disclaimer, then give yourself one point per fic. If not, go read them, then give yourself a point a fic. And if you connect my Silver with another Sliver, then 3 points. The hot chocolate had marshmallows, if it helps anybody. And 4 point if you've heard either version of One Tin Soldier. Doesn't matter which, or if you've heard both. So the total here.. Is 10.
