A/N: Hey y'all sorry it took so long, I was in Virginia on vacation, away from my computer. My deepest apologies to all. The first sentence of this story belongs to a friend Vex who insisted on being recognized so there. Ha! stick tongue out at Vex. Well I hope you enjoy especially Coriel who reviewed multiple times. Thanx. Thank you to all reviewers.
Lots of Love,

We fall like silver and gold leaves each of us carrying our own life down with us. We fall down and slowly the others fall just like us.
Three sharp raps on the compartment door announced the arrival of my two best friends. I had been between nervousness and fear with the subject of encountering them. Dread slowly filled me.
"Come in."
The door burst open and the two walked in. Hermione gasped seeing as I was still sitting in Draco's lap. I turned slowly to look at them. Ron was standing with his mouth open wide, gaping like a fish.
"What did Malfoy do to you, Harry? Did he kidnap you over the summer and turn you ... Goth?"
Even as the dread filled me I couldn't help but laugh. If either of us was Goth first I'm sure it was me.
"No, Malfoy didn't kidnap me, I'm not a kid. No really he didn't turn me Goth."
"Well, then why the hell are you sitting in his lap?"
"I wanted to?"
"But, but why?"
"It's more comfortable than the train seats are"
I glanced at Draco who looked disgusted that they were even in the compartment yet smug I picked him over them. If he wasn't Draco Malfoy he probably would have stuck his tongue out at them.
"Leave."
"But..."
"Leave now if you want to escape unscathed."
As I pulled out my wand and pointed it t him and they both scurried out of the compartment like mice. The door slammed behind them. I locked it with a spell.
"Thank you, I probably would have hurt him somehow or other."
"Set Crabbe and Goyle on him or something."
"They still follow you around?"
"Yeah they're in the compartment behind us I believe."
"Cool. Emergency backup?"
"They can block some damaging spells."
"With a wand?"
"No their bodies, they're both huge."
"So true."
The train rambled on before finally reaching Hogwarts hours later. I had fallen asleep and so was shaken awake by Draco who I was still sitting on.
"I think I should talk to Dumbledore."
"Why?"
"To change houses."
"Yes!" He said before catching himself. "Sorry."
I laughed, he was so afraid to show anyone who he really was. I liked that person though. Fun, caring, energetic. Everything the other Draco Malfoy, the one I had hated for so long, despised.
"It's okay."
"Well are you ready to go out? Together."
"Can't we just stay here?"
"No."
"Pwease?" I said putting on puppy dog eyes that I knew no one could resist.
"Do you want to go back home?"
That was all I needed to hear. We quickly put on our robes and stepped out of the compartment. At first no one knew who either of us were. Then they started to figure out . Whispers followed us all the way to the carriage we shared with Crabbe and Goyle who were introduced to me by Draco.
This talk with Dumbledore would be fun. I knew he would agree with whatever I said. He had to. I was the only one who could save them, he knew that. He was in my back pocket.
And that was how I would fall just as everyone else helpless as a newborn . Like the silver and gold leaves carrying their lives down with them. Just like everyone else.
Lots of Love,
