The day I was going to post this up I was sooooo sad cause I knew I hadn't received one single review!!! But then, I saw as if it were a divine light… I HAD ONE REWIEW!!! This is really pathetic but, I HAD ONE!! Hey, it better than none… Anyway I suppose you learn something new everyday and I'm sure what I learned. From now on every time I feel like reading something I'm gonna choose the stories with the least reviews, cause the feeling I got with no review was AWFUL. Take it as a hint… REVIEW!

Strange friendships

Chapter II- Obliviate! I don't think so…

Draco had just got to Malfoy Manor. This is going to be a very different summer vacation. How am I going to ask mother to go the Weasleys' house? If she ever finds out where I'm really going she will die of shock!

He told his mother he was tired and left to his room. He sat on his bed. It had been a year since he last slept here. Last time he came back from vacation it had been a totally different greeting. Now his father wasn't there to control him. He could do what he wanted because his mother wasn't going to forbid him anything after all his father had done to both of them.

That did not mean he didn't him anymore. More than ever, he knew he had to be careful. Now the Dark Lord had born again anything could happen. He wasn't even sure if he still watched his mother from far. Probably, he thought, he doesn't give a damn what happened to my father. He'll just wait and if there is a chance he will get him out of Azkaban. He won't do nothing to risk his neck.

Draco kept thinking about recent events until he fell asleep. It was one of the first times he slept peacefully in the Manor.

Draco woke up instead of thinking of his future, or at least of his trip to the Burrow, thinking about his life.

What had made him change so much? He had always been the Iceman. He had never shown feelings except hate and disgust. And now, after having passed nearly three months knowing the Weasley twins and Jordan he was starting to feel in his insides something that wasn't there before. Even though he never actually stopped mistreating everybody he didn't feel anymore the pleasure of insulting someone. Had it been the time he passed with the Weasley's and Jordan? That, he didn't know for sure, but what was obvious was that something filling his sole.

He actually cared for Fred, George and Lee.

{-}{-}{-}

It had all started the night before the twins decided to show Umbridge what Weasley Wizard Wheezes meant.

Draco was on prefect duty. Night patrols were quite funny, though they could be really dull sometimes. He was walking along one of the dungeons corridors when he heard voices. The Weasley twins were in an empty classroom planning their 'attack'.

This will be one of the most interesting patrols I've been in.

Instead of surprising them or giving them detention he sat at the door making sure he was not seen by them.

Though many people thought he didn't give a damn for the rest of the school houses, he actually did care. He had taken his time analyzing most of the students mainly because his father had asked. For instance, he knew he didn't want to be discovered by Fred and George Weasley sneaking in their secret plans.

The first idea Draco had when he started to catch on on what they were planning was to go strait to Umbridge and tell her. That would be a hole bunch of points for Slytherin… But after staying some more time there he didn't feel like ruining their fun… Wait, what I'm I thinking of? He knew what it was, it was the way they'd laugh at the stupid things they imagined, or the way he could practically hear their mischievous grins.

He just sat there and listened, every once in awhile he'd smile at some joke thay said, but he never laughed. It was about to be an hour since he sat there when he heard something… Long but soft footsteps coming swiftly down to the dungeons. He could recognize those footsteps anywhere. Snape was coming to check on him.

Obviously, he had permission to be there, after all, he was patrolling. He would just say he had just found the twins. Yes, that's the best I can do. But something stopped him, the thought of the twins jokes and laughs ending gave him a weird feeling. He didn't want that. And without thinking he opened de door of the classroom and with quick movements from his wand he silenced both of the twins, locked the door and put a silence charm on it.

The twins were looking at him with hate, their mouths moving furiously. Draco was sure that if they didn't have a silence charm on them he would have discovered insults he didn't even know existed. Just then Snape's footsteps came hurrying from the corridor and Draco out of instinct shushed the twins even though they couldn't make a sound. Though now the Weasleys weren't 'screaming'. They had shut their mouths and were looking at Draco with surprise.

The Slytherin boy knew that they had also recognized the footsteps.

After Snape had passed by, (A/N.: I don't know if that actually means he died or that he went by, hehe) he stared intently at the twins. He then spoke:

- "See here Weasleys, no shouting and no wand using or I'll go and call Snape, after all I have permission to be here, I'm a prefect."

The twins nodded. Draco took the charms off but he saw no change. They were looking at him with confusion. Draco understood, I mean, how many times do you see a Malfoy helping Weasleys, or just helping anyone?

-" As much as I hate to say this Malfoy we owe you one. Thank you."

It was now Draco's time to feel surprise, he surely didn't expect that. They actually thanked him? Weird.

-" Don't worry about that right now. Just forget whatever today has happened."

He went for the door and, as he was leaving, he turned at them and whispered:

- "Good luck tomorrow, only Merlin knows how much everybody hates Umbridge."- And with that he left.

He was about to turn the corner when he heard one of the twins say to the other:

- "Don't think we'll forget that in a while, bro."-

--------/End of Chapter/--------

Ok, that's it for today. I hope it is of your liking. The next chapters will be mostly about how they made friends and the things that happened after the twins left Hogwarts. If you guys think that its better to continue the story instead of boring you to hell with how they made friends tell me. And if you believe that it is actually interesting to know the background first tell me too, it is very important for the continuation of the story.

So, I'll have to thank my first ever (and only) reviewer won't I? looks meaningfully to everybody who reads and doesn't review:

You Annoy Me: Weird name huh? Aaanyways… THANK YOU!! Only YOU!! I'll take your advice, in my original copy I had dashes every time someone spoke but I don't know why they didn't appear in … Which takes me to another question: What on earth happens to the format I give in Word? (the block letters are for everyone to read it). Once again, thank you very much, glad you liked it.
