J0. I's back. I decided to continue after getting a nice review from someone!! giggels Yesh, Yesh, one review is not much, but I'm a succer! Soooo...this goes out to Visitor-to-the-Echoside, who reviewd so kindly!!

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

Draco had been at the school for a few months now. Life was progressing....well, one couldn't say as usual, for nothing seemed to be usual around here. It was usual to come into his dorm room to find his roommate crying himself to sleep. It was usual to find any number of young people sitting around in small groups not saying anything. It was usual....

No. No He would not be going down that path. Not today. Today was good....so far.

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

Harry looked up from his homework as his roommate entered the room. He smiled slightly. "Hey, Draco. How was class?"

Draco sighed and flopped - No other word for it - into one of the chairs in their room. "You do not want to know. That annoying - what's her name? Patty? Pansy? Something like that. - she was hitting on me in Gym class again." He sighed. " Yeah. So how'd it go for you?"

"Hermione Granger again. She decided to upstage me in class again." He put on a rather good falsetto, " No, No No, Mr. Potter! You put the - " He grinned. "BOOM!! Yeah, what ever it was she put in my Lab Expiriment, She didn't check what I'd put in first. So, you know...chemical reactions and all, It exploded. Needless to say, Snape is less than pleased that two of his best students managed to blow the lab up....again......." He laughed. Gods, Draco loved that sound....."Yeah, that's what - the fifth time this week?"

Draco blinked...Did I just think what I thought I thought? What did I just think? I love the sound of his laugh....? He shook his head, resolving to wonder about it later.

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

Hermione glared at Professor Snape, who had decided to give her a detention, but not Potter. Damn little snot. He's got everything he wants, the teachers like him... "You want me to do what?" She practicaly yelled at the Sciences Instuctor.

"Miss Granger. Please Refrain from yelling. I merely want you to clean up the mess you made when you decided to tinker with Potter's expiriment." He gestured expansivley at the room, a good half of which was covered in goo and various degrees of burns. Luckily, they had a spare science room to teach the class after hers in. Hermione cursed Potter's name again, and set to cleaning.

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

"...and then of course Ron and I made fools of ourselves during Drama. WE were chosen to act out a scene from Romeo and Juliet. Guess who got stuck as Juliet."

"Oh. My. God. Than must have been damn funny to the rest of the class."

Harry grinned. "You better beleive it. Consider that we acctualy managed to fit in a fake smooch. The rest of the class was roaring by the time we were done."

Harry and Draco looked at each other and burst out in laughter.

"You...You seriously did that?"

"Yup. Come on, It's Drama! You're supposed to make an ass of yourself."

"Maybe I should sign up for next semester or whatever."

Harry smiled. It'd be great to have Draco in my Drama class. He'd probably kill them.....

"So how did your other classes go?"

Draco wiped his eyes. "They were okay, considering those two thugs...what are their names? Grabb and Coyle? Crabb and Goyle? Something like that. Anyways, They decided to be wise guys in English Lit. and botch up the reasoning behind Hamlet's insanity. And I quote: 'He was nuts causa his anut married his dad and then his aut married his uncle and his dad died and his mom married his uncle and then everyone died.' I don't know where he got the aunt from." Draco shook his head, looked at Harry....after a few seconds they sarted laughing again.

"Ever hear the saying, Everyone's Dumb except me? That seems to hold especially true at this school." And they were away laughing on a fast camel. (1)

"Hey Harry, Morning Draco!" Harry and Draco turned towards the voice on their way down to the 'Barraks', as the students called them, for breakfast. They were met with three red-headed young men, by the names of Fred, George and Ron Weasly, all three of whom were friends of Harry and Draco, despite the former two being two years older.

"Morning Gred, Reorge and Fon. I mean Rred, Feorge and Gon...I mean....." Fred patted Harry's shoulder.

"It's okay Harry, we know what you're trying to say."

Draco smiled. "Are you sure you guys aren't triplets?"

Gearge puffed out his chest. "As sure as we are that we're Freaslys. I mean, Reaslys. I mean....Dammit! Harry this is your fault!"

And so began a game of Tag all the way down the the Barraks.

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

After breakfast, the five of them headed down to the post office, where all the letters to the students were kept.

"Morning Post-Master!" Ron called brightly. "Anything for Fred, George or Ron Weasley?"

"Or Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy for that matter." Harry cut in.

"Just a moment, boys, let me check." The man came back a moment later with five letters and a package in his hand. "Alright, these three and for the weasly boys..."He handed the named three their letters, "This is for Malfoy, and these two are for Potter." The handed Draco a letter, and to Harry her gave the package and finaly letter. Harry looked surprised that he had gotten anything.

I wonder what it is.....
