Review Response:

Elle.H.M: Erm... i didn't know they were in a dungeon. they were just in Harry's old bed room. if i didn't state that... then i really suck and i totally agree with that all the way. And er... i thought in the first chapter i got Uncle Vernon to take his wand away and Aunt Petunia took it elsewere. If i am totally mistaken and they can apparate without a wand, well then, i'm sorry. but er... then how could the wizarding world hold anyone hostage?

---------------------------------

Harry took a quick shower, washing everywhere he possibly could in five times. And he ran out. He had instructed Draco through the door to wash his clothes for him. His initial intention was not to stay for so long so he hadn't brought clothes with him to change into.

Draco knocked and handed Harry his clothes when the door opened. Fighting with all his might not to push open the door wider or to sneak a little peek.

After another 2 minutes of Harry getting dressed he left the bathroom and Draco looked at him. He looked SO much more delicious now that he had taken a shower, and he smelled MUCH better too. Draco couldn't help but smile at him.

"Is that a smile I see? What happened to that annoying smirk I am oh so used to seeing?"

"If you must know Potter, I left it behind with my past."

"What?"

"No time to chat now Harry. We have to apparate out of here. Where is your God damned wand?" said Draco looking fully annoyed to see the wizard without his weapon. Harry was totally unprotected. He was vulnerable. No wonder he couldn't magic his way out of here.

"They took it from me when I came."

"Why did you come anyway?" said Draco looking around trying to locate Harry's wand.

"I wanted to make amends."

"To people who never loved you? Potter, I thought you were smarter than that."

"Shut up Malfoy. You must be the stupid one. You are holding you wand and yet you are sinking to the MUGGLE level of actually searching for my wand."

Draco eyed the wand he was holding before him. Rolled his eyes and smiled again.

"Wow, another smile from the unfathomed Malfoy. All in one day, I don't think I can take this any longer."

"Shut up Potter or your staying here."

Harry shut up. That was something Harry definitely did not want to do.

"Accio Wand" said Draco and at that same moment a bunch of small pieces flew into the room and Draco jumped up to catch as much of it as he could.

Harry looked heart broken. And it looked as if Draco was trying to hide as much of the wand from Harry as he could. What was he doing?

"Reparo" muttered Draco but it didn't work. The wand could not be repaired. "Doesn't matter" said Draco pocketing the remains of Harry's wand trying not to make a big deal out of the situation.

"We'll go through the fire. I was prepared for this."

Draco took Harry by the sleeve, making sure he didn't touch Harry. He knew that once he did, he would never be able to let the gorgeous creature go.

Draco blasted the steel that was bolting the fireplace closed. Then he set a flame to the centre. They didn't need wood. Draco took out a pouch and opened it.

"Go on. We can't both fit in there."

"Where am I going?" asked Harry feeling like a complete idiot.

"Your place of course! Man, muggle influence really IS terrible."

"Oh. Well I thought they would have suspected something since I haven't paid in two months."

"I already took care of that now hurry up before your nasty little family returns."

Just then they heard a car pull up to the driveway. And seconds later the key was being inserted into the front door lock and the knob was being turned.

"GO IDIOT GO!" yelled Draco to Harry and pushing him into the fire.

"Sorry. 68 Shiminister." Said Harry stepping into the fire.

Harry fell forward onto the ground of his penthouse. It seemed that he was expecting guests but this was odd. The entire Order was looking at him. Full of ashes as he just came out of his own fire, which was burning fully with real wood.

"Harry! God, we were SO worried about you." Said Hermione getting up to hold on to Harry as he was trying to balance himself.

"How did you know where to find me?" asked Harry

"We didn't. Draco said he knew this morning. Told us that he would take care of it and he was true to his word my boy." Said Dumbledore beaming up at the now standing Harry Potter who had grown a great deal through out his 7 years of Hogwarts nutritious junk food and butter beer.

Harry brushed himself off of all the dust on himself and took a seat.

It wasn't until a full 5 minutes later when Draco apparated into the room. He had his wand so he didn't need to use Floo.

He looked like he had just seem hell. There was blood dripping everywhere and scratches everywhere. His robes were torn.

"Oh God, I forgot!" exclaimed Harry as he stood up.

"Oh Thanks Potter! While I'm trying to fend off that beast you were sitting here and you totally forgot about me rescuing you from that trash hole!" said Draco full of fury.

Snape quickly handed Harry some potions to give to Draco. Draco drank them entirely.

"That uncle of yours, he would be able to put the Dark Lord in for a run."

Harry said nothing to this. It was exactly what he had been thinking. If he put his uncle up against Voldemort, now THAT would be a battle to watch. Uncle Vernon wouldn't need a wand. He would simply sit on Voldemort and he would win. Harry smiled. That was a good idea. Maybe all the Order needed was to get Uncle Vernon and their FREAK world would be saved.

HA, like Uncle Vernon would ever get involved with this world.

"That humungous git. Wouldn't get his hands off me. Kept saying that as long as they would get rid of one of the freaks it would be all worth their trouble. Get rid of me without a wand? I don't think so." Said Draco bitterly.

His wounds were healing now. They were hardly even visible.

"Ya well, its not like you didn't see me when you did."

"God Harry, I can't believe they did that. Well wait, I can, I AM after all a death eater. But that was horrible."

"What did they do to you boy?" said Moody.

"They well," Harry couldn't say it. They were after all still his family and althought after that encounter he would never give them respect, it still just didn't feel right.

"What is it? What did they do to you?" said Moody

"It's okay Alaster. He will speak when he feels ready." Said Dumbledore

Moody sat down and looked away but his magical eye was still looking at Harry, he could tell. Checking to make sure Harry wasn't bleeding or anything. The most remarkable thing was that they didn't do anything like that to him. They just made him lose hope. They didn't hit him, unless you count when Uncle Vernon pinned him down to the floor the first day.

They had only tried to break Harry's spirit which Harry thought it had been broken all those times he lost hope.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I shouldn't have been so stupid as to think that making amends would have been easy. The fact that I lived is a slip of fate in itself."

"YOUR GOD DAMNED RIGHT POTTER!" yelled Draco. "Do you know what those muggles were putting you through? Your are positively too Griffindor. A Slytherin would have known that you never try to do anything like that. It's like handing your life over to them wrapped and ribboned."

"Draco," Harry didn't know what to say. He wanted to thank Draco and he also wanted to tell him that is exactly why he has no real friends. But he didn't say anything.

"Well, whatever happened we hope will never happen again." As Dumbledore said to put an end to the conversation as if afraid that more would come out of it.

Draco and Harry took a seat in the Order and listened.

"The Minister has granted that you still hold your Auror position Harry. Seeing as how the New Minister is Arthur Weasley. After Cornelius Fudge stepped down i must say that I am very much relieved but not a word to anyone else about this. Harry, Arthur understands your situation and does not want to lose such an asset to the wizarding world. You have talent Mr. Potter and the new ministry would like to keep it for themselves." Said Dumbledore

Harry smiled at this "I didn't think they would let me. I haven't been around for 2 months, I lost so much training as it is."

"Ah, but I know you will learn fast. You always have been very bright." Said Arthur.

Harry couldn't help but feel a bit of heat rising to his face. Arthur Weasley had always said he was good at things but he knew that Arthur was taking his new job as the minister very seriously.

"You will catch up in no time to the other Aurors." Said Arthur.

They had a talk and after a few hours everyone left. They couldn't stay for dinner because Harry hadn't been home to get anything prepared. He, after all, hadn't been there for 2 months.
