Changes

Chapter three

Draco limped into the great hall and sat down next to Pansy at the Slytherin table.

"What's wrong Drakie? Why are you limping?"

Draco winched at Pansy's hideous pet name for him. "Oh it's nothing...back broken, to much sex."

"Oh...poor Draco." Pansy said sweetly patting him on the back whilst secretly scowling she wanted Draco to have sex with her strangely he always had some excuse when she tried it on with him.

"Well." Blaize said. "I heard that Potter cursed you."

"He did not curse me." Draco stated outraged. "He threw me through a door, there's a sodding difference."

Pansy and Blaise stared at him blankly.

"SHIT! Didn't mean to say that out loud." Bollocks I've really got to stop doing that "SEE THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME YOU BASTARD" Draco called out shaking his fist skywards.

"Err Draco are you ok?" Damn did it again just pretend nothing happened.

"What Blaize?" Keep a straight neutral face

"Oh erm nothing soooo he threw you through a door...why?"

Draco shrugged, secretly pleased I got away with it HA "he's touched in the head." It's a pretty head though...OH GOD...NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! "He's touched in that oddly shaped not in anyway attractive head alright" Draco felt strangely like stretching out a pair of old fashioned braces but squashed that urge HA totally saved face there ... oh wait ... BOLLOCKS! AGAIN SERIOUSLY? AGH

"Want us to punch him for you?" Crabbe asked as he sat across from Draco and the others with Goyal.

"No thanks, your alright but thanks for the offer, hey maybe you could punch each other instead."

"Sure whatever." Goyal grunted as Dumbledore stood up to make his usual start of term feast.

God they're really stupid Draco thought as Goyal pulled back his fist Shit he grabbed the arm mid-swing "do it later you oversized moron" Whoops don't insult minions at dinner times they get Draco was stopped mid-thought by Dumbledore standing up.

"Welcome students, new and old. I am pleased to welcome you to a new year at Hogwart's school of witchcraft and wizardry. I realise that you are all hungry after your long journey so I will not delay the beginning of the feast any longer, please enjoy."

With those words huge mounds of food appeared before them and they all tucked in. Previous conversation forgotten.

Over at the Gryffindor table Harry was sulking, he was moving his food around his plate with his fork and not eating.

He had seen Draco limp in and had felt a surge of guilt, he had caused it and Draco hadn't been his usual vicious self and fought back, instead he had walked away, he had been the bigger man, he hadn't thrown Harry through a door.

As expected everyone else ignored him, except Seamus who sat next to him and talked non-stop the entire way through the feast, Harry however was not listening.

He didn't look up from his plate until Seamus randomly pointed out that Draco was glaring at him. Harry couldn't help but smirk.

"Doesn't surprise me." He said in a triumphant voice.

"Why?"

"I threw him through a door on the train." Harry said boastfully.

Everyone in hearing distance turned to stare at him, whispers were soon spreading round the entire hall, even the Slytherin table.

It was minutes before the teachers heard also. By this point the desert plates had cleared and Dumbledore stood up.

"Prefects, please lead the first years to their own common rooms, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, please stay behind for a moment."

The rest of the school obeyed without much fuss, Harry and Draco stood up also and headed not towards the exit but towards the teachers table where only Snape, Magonigal and Dumbledore remained.

They stood there, Harry didn't look ashamed of himself or for that matter sorry for what he had done, Draco on the other hand was still walking with a slight limp.

Dumbledore stared down at the boys, disappointment shown clearly on his face and in his usually twinkling blue eyes.

"Please explain what happened." He said in a tired voice.

"Malfoy came into my compartment, I asked him to leave, politely may I add, he refused so I threw him out."

"I only went in to propose a truce, which I didn't get a chance to arrange because of his arrogance."

"MY ARROGANCE, and I suppose your head isn't inflated at all, you egotistic Slytherin."

"Stop it, both of you, I have had enough of your pointless fighting."

"He started it." Both teens said in unison pointing at one another. Bloody snivelling Potter always sucking up...sucking up to Professor dumbl... oh BAD THOUGHTS BAD THOUGHTS! Don't think of him or Dumbledore ah my eyes are burning

"I do not care who started it, I will finish it, I will not have this intolerable fighting in my school anymore."

Harry and Draco looked at each other, they didn't know what kind of punishment was coming but they knew it wasn't going to be pleasant.

"Harry, I know it is hard to contain your natural magical ability but please refrain from using them on fellow students."

"I'm sorry, I don't take orders from you anymore. I do what I want."

Draco had to withhold a snort; he stood there in amusement as the saviour of the wizarding world tested Dumbledore's patience.

"While you reside at this school you will do as your told, now yourself and Mr Malfoy will share a room, a bathroom and a common room until your differences are sorted. I believe all Slytherin and Gryffindor classes are combined this year so that shall not be a problem, you won't be required to sit together in said classes but you never know."

"WHAT...no way." Draco protested. "He's properly a slob." Just look at him with his UN-tucked shirt its hanging half out AND his tie is loose

"Forget it, you really think I'm sharing a room with HIM! I don't think so, I'd rather die...do you know where Voldermort is, I'll throw myself at his feet and beg him to kill me."

"Harry calm down."

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!"

"I bet his hygiene is really bad." Draco kept rambling on. "I can't live with messy people." LOOK dirt on his neck right where I would usually put a hickey ... NO stay away from thoughts about his neck and my lips... uh DIRT under his fingernails ugh Draco shuddered.

"I would rather live with VOLDERMORT than HIM." Harry ranting.

The three teachers sat there in silence all attempts to silence the two abandoned, they simply waited for them to finish.

Almost an hour later the two of them went silent, Minerva had actually nodded off and had to be prodded awake by Dumbledore.

"Are the two of you quite finished?" Dumbledore asked calmly while Minerva wiped the trail of drool away from her chin. Snape turned his face away to hide the smirk which he couldn't quite surpress.

The two teens nodded rather reluctantly.

"Good, now have you stopped complaining?"

Once again they nodded.

"Good, are you going to except your punishment?"

It took a few seconds but the two teens nodded, this year was going to be hell.
