Chapter 20
Parental Problems
The rest of the day was extremely humorous considering they were hostages in a dungeon cell being held captive by the most powerful evil dark wizard in the world. Between James weak attempts to be a responsible parent and Ron and Ernie's feeble attempts to pretend they weren't enjoying themselves.
Around noon they herd a loud banging from inside the wardrobe. James and Harry approached the wardrobe cautiously. Pulling out their wands the said together
"1.....2.....3....Alohamora!"
The wardrobe flung its doors open and out toppled
Draco Malfoy
"Malfoy?!" said Harry incredulously. "What are you, how did you, Huh?"
"I live here. I herd you were here. Tried to help get you out. Couldn't get past the guards outside. Decided to give apperating a shot. So, how are you?"
"Fine. What about Hogwarts?"
"Dad won't let me back. Says I'll be questioned."
"Oh, well hate to say it but, your stuck. Once someone enters this room who isn't on Voldy's side the get magically stuck here. No way out. So get comfortable, you're going to be here a looooong time."
That night at dinner James spoke up
"Oh, Harry, please eat more steak." He pushed another steak onto Harry's plate "You need to keep up you nutrition."
Harry though thoroughly embarrassed couldn't help but smirk. Finally this is what it felt like to have a parent.
Around ten Harry and Ron were locked in a fierce game of chess when James suddenly said
"Now, Harry, You have had a long day, and you got barley any sleep last night, bed."
"But...,"
"No butts, bed," he suddenly broke off and gasped "Oh my god, I sound like my parents. Harry I am sooo... sorry. I have soiled the marauders name. Tell ya what. All nighter!"
Around midnight Malfoy said to Harry
"Hey, Harry, you dad is the coolest."
"Yeah, well, he never really got the chance to grow up."
