Chapter Two
The next day Harry woke up on the floor of the Mirnoth boy's dorm. ~What am I doing on the floor?~ he wondered. "What are you doing on the floor Potter?" Malfoy asked curiously and with less malice than usual. When Harry looked over at him he had his head tilted to the side sorta like a dog did. Harry chuckled a little. "What are you laughing at?" Draco said raising an eyebrow and tilting his head a little more. Harry burst into uncontrolled laughter which only grew louder at the irritated look Malfoy gave him. "You are really weird." he said looking at Harry strangely before getting out of bed.
Harry just lay on the floor watching Draco. The other boy really wasn't that bad, come to think of it. Last year he hadn't been all that snotty, especially since his mom told him his grandpa was a vampire. Harry only knew because Draco had told him last year. They had made a temporary truce since Draco had needed someone to help him as a teenage vampire. Harry had allowed him to suck his blood so that Draco didn't go rampant and attack people. That situation was over now though since he was only part vampire and his blood thirst only happened every sixteen years.
"What ARE you staring at Potter?" Draco's words brought Harry back to the present. He blushed a little and shook his head. He stood up and looked at his bed trying to figure out how he had ended up on the floor. He was standing there deep in thought when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around slowly and his emerald eyes locked with Draco's own grey ones. "Are you okay Harry?" It'd been awhile since Harry had seen such anxiousness in his eyes, and it had been quite awhile since he had addressed Harry by his first name.
"I'm fine. Why?" Harry said, trying not to choke at the look in Draco's eyes.
"Well, it's just that you've been a little quiet and you at least normally respond in someway if I insult you or talk to you." he said blushing.
Harry grinned from ear to ear. "Was widdle Dwakie poo wowwied about wittle ol' me?" he said teasingly as he tickled Draco's abdomen. He soon had the blonde rolling on the floor laughing and begging him to stop before he exploded. Harry only tickled him harder which resulted in Draco shrieking with laughter and Harry laughing right along with him.
The door suddenly flew open and all three of the girls rushed in, wands ready, hair a total mess. The boys looked at each other and then at them and both burst into laughter. "Um. What were you doing?" Ginny asked uncertain of what was going on, red hair sticking up at odd angles.
"Um, well. Err. Harry was tickling me and um well I sorta um ya know, shrieked." Draco said, barely able to get it out. The girls all looked at each other and then at the boys and started to laugh hysterically.
"You, the mighty Draco Malfoy, shrieking because of being tickled?" Ginny laughed and held her sides at the hilarity of it all.
Draco glared at her and Serenity smiled. Arale was grinning. She had heard of Draco Malfoy and his reputation which made this extremely funny.
"Well, I dunno about you guys but I'm starving." Serenity said matter- of-factly. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright then. Let's get ourselves properly dressed and ready for breakfast." with that she turned and walked out of the boys' dorm to the girls' dorm. The other two soon followed leaving the two boys alone. They looked away from each other and dressed in silence.
Once again Harry felt a hand on his shoulder. "What is it Draco?" he asked without turning around, his voice emotionless.
"Um. You're alright from last year right? The marks are all gone?" he asked quietly. Harry stiffened. Draco never really mentioned that except the once on the train and he hadn't actually referred to what had occurred between them. It was something neither of them really wanted to talk about. Draco was ashamed of his heritage and Harry didn't know how he felt about the whole situation. One thing was for sure, they hadn't expected to be thrust together again, not in a strange twist of fate like this anyway.
"Yeah. They're gone. They went away over the summer." he said softly.
"That's good. Your aunt and uncle didn't say anything about them did they?" Draco asked. ~Oh if you only knew~ Harry thought.
~~Flashback~~ The Dursley's house sometime during the summer.
"Where did you get those marks boy?" Uncle Vernon asked with more kindness than he normally showed.
"Nowhere Uncle Vernon." Harry said looking away.
"They're not beating you at that school are they?" Aunt Petunia asked curiously.
"Of course not!" Harry said more forcefully than he meant to.
"Don't shout at her boy." Uncle Vernon said in a strangely calm voice. "If they are then we want the truth."
Harry looked over at Dudley for some support. Dudley looked at him but didn't seem to be much help. "They don't beat me sir, honestly."
Uncle Vernon didn't look convinced until Dudley spoke up. "I don't think they would beat him or anything Dad. He probably just got those marks and such from that Quidditch stuff ya know?"
"Yes I suppose you're right. Got a good head on your shoulders boy." Uncle Vernon said turning back to his dinner. Harry flashed Dudley a look that he hoped said thank you and both of them resumed eating. After dinner they were sent off to bed, but instead of going to his own room Harry went to Dudley's, knowing that he would want the truth behind the marks. He and Dudley sat there for a few minutes playing Tekken 4 silently before Dudley asked his questions.
"So Har', where did you get those marks? I know those aren't from quidditch. I've seen your bruises from quidditch and they look nothing like it." Harry sighed and paused the game.
He turned to Dudley and began to relate his story. After he was done he just sorta looked at Dudley who looked back at him before hugging him. "That's alot to go through Har'." he said quietly. Harry just breathed out and hugged his cousin back. They sat like that until dawn, neither wanting to brake one of the few moments that showed they cared.
~~End Flashback~~
"No. They didn't ask." Harry lied. He didn't even want to put Draco through the worry of thinking a muggle family might know his secret, even if one member of that family did.
"So you didn't get in trouble or anything?" Well that was a surprise. Draco was actually asking him if he got in trouble instead of saying 'Well then my secrets safe'. Miracles CAN happen. Harry chuckled. "Hey, what's so funny? You didn't get in trouble did you?"
"No I didn't Draconis." he said, using Draco's full name, something even his imprisoned father had never done. It meant dragon or some such in Latin.
Draco playfully punched him in the arm. "Just because I told you my full name doesn't mean you can use it. It's my mother's name for me and you know that." he said lifting his head up.
"Whatever Dray." Harry said as he turned to walk out of the dormitory.
"Hey, wait up." Draco said. "I can't believe we have to wear white robes. It's just weird. I wonder why?"
"Maybe because the balance represents some kind of purity or something." Harry responded.
"Hey Har', ya think that if I had never known about my grandfather that I would be a Mirnoth?"
"Don't take this wrong Dray but probably not." Harry replied. Just then they reached the floor and there was Snape, boring holes into their eyes with his.
"Thank you two gentlemen for FINALLY joining us this fine morning. Now we can all eat our breakfast and discuss your schedules." he said in a low tone. Both boys gulped and Snape had to suppress a smirk. That always got them. You either growl or speak in a low calm voice, scares the shit out of the twerps.
"Since the boys are here, don't you think we should eat now Professor?" Serenity asked politely moments before her stomach let out a long, low growl. Arale chuckled and Ginny giggled. Serenity just smiled and looked at their food.
The boys and Snape sat down at the table, which had as many servings as the Great Hall's tables. Everyone started to dig in until they noticed Serenity with her head bowed and her hands inches above her food. She was reciting an old incantation thanking the spirits for the bountiful food and her safe journey. The other's stopped and prayed to their respective gods before continuing to eat.
Serenity began to eat and was chewing her cereal thoughtfully when she suddenly sprang up from the chair with an "Ah ha! I knew I was forgetting something!" and racing up the stairs of the girl's dorm. Arale and Ginny exchanged glances and then looked up at the door to their dormitory. Draco and Harry also exchanged glances, shrugged, and returned to eating. Snape hadn't even looked up from his food when the raven haired girl had made her exclamation.
Just as suddenly as she had left, the girl returned, a strange object in her hands. She hung it over the fireplace in the common room. "There, that's better." she said as she sat back down.
"Umm. What IS that?" Draco asked, Harry's eyes bugging out as he actually SAW what Serenity had hung over their fireplace.
"It's a dreamcatcher of course. What else would it be?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, it's a dreamcatcher." Serenity confirmed.
"Umm. What's it used for?" Harry asked.
"It's supposed to catch your nightmares." Arale said, speaking for the first time that morning.
"It is also used to protect people from evil spirit. In legend it was used to expel the demons inside of Menocta(1). Though that was several large dreamcatchers and skilled medicine men that expelled his inner demons. Before the demons were expelled he was the terror of the plains. He was called the Comanche Devil. This was because the Comanche were the most fierce of the Plains Indians and were referred to in sign language with a snake. Menocta scared even them. He was a man of the Iroquois Nation. The White man called him the warrior of the land, since he killed settlers. The Europeans believed him to do this because the settlers had taken his land. The truth was that he liked to kill. But he was not known as Menocta at that time. He was Mihensa. But, I figured that if they could expel demons, then maybe they can keep away harmful spirits and let our sleep be safeguarded."
Everyone was staring at her, even Snape had been listening. They sort of felt honored that she cared about them all and didn't simply hang it over her bed. Snape, however, had found the story itself quite interesting.
"Well, that was an interesting story. However, we need to discuss your schedules. You will all have classes at the same time, and with the Gryffindors and Slytherins." There was a set of groans right next to him and he knew that Harry and Draco thought it quite embarrassing to be seen with each other in front of their old houses. "AHEM!" he coughed loudly before continuing. "You will also give up divination and muggle studies, or any other electives, to have extra Potions and extra Defense Against the Dark Arts." he had told them this the night before so there was no excited whooping, just nods of consent, while Serenity examined her food and Arale examined her nails. He handed them a set of schedules, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and headed off towards his classroom. Before he reached the door he turned around. "If you would stop looking so glum Mr. Potter, I might have told you earlier that Gryffindors can come in here. Actually all the houses are aloud in here except Slytherins. But they have to be invited by one of the five of you. I will see you soon." and with that he slipped out of the portrait hole.
Harry, Ginny, and Serenity high-fived. Draco looked a little glum and Arale just smiled. Serenity looked at her watch. "Ohmigosh! We're gonna be late on the first day!" she exclaimed. A few seconds later they were scrambling up to their dormitories and then practically falling back down with their books, and squeezing out of the portrait hole.
As they raced down the hallway, Harry looked over at Serenity. He watched her long hair stream behind her, she seemed totally used to running. He looked at her face and decided that she was having the time of her life racing down the corridor.
When they finally reached their first class(History of Magic), Arale's carefully combed hair was sticking up in several places, Ginny's fire red hair was falling in her face, and Serenity's feather headband was crooked. Harry's hair was only slightly messier than usual, and Draco, who practically plastered his hair, only had one strand out of place, which he fixed immediately.
They made it inside in the nick of time, and every single one of them stayed awake during the class. Hermione was grinning from ear to ear in delight over this fact. She kept having to elbow Ron in the gut to keep him from drowsing. The girls all took notes and the boys just paid attention.
As soon as the class was over the friends filed out. "What do you guys have next?" Hermione asked excitedly.
"Um." Ginny looked at her schedule. "Herbology."
"Us too!" Hermione said, indicating Ron, Herself, Neville, and Seamus.
" 'Ello again lass." Seamus said walking behind the main group next to Neville.
"Oh. Hi Seamus." she turned to Arale. "This is Seamus Finnigan, Seamus, this is Arale Strangoft."
" 'Ello miss Arale." Seamus said bowing.
Arale blushed a deep crimson and looked away from Seamus to stare at the ceiling. "What's wrong with the pretty lass?" Seamus whispered to Serenity,"Twasn't somethin' I said was it?"
"I don't think so Seamus, I just don't think she's used to talking to people much." Serenity replied.
As the group approached the greenhouses Harry and Draco were in the back, discussing quidditch. It sounded pretty heated and several people were staring at them.
"Ireland is the BEST TEAM EVER MALFOY!" Harry yelled.
"No WAY POTTER, GERMANY'S THE BEST!" Draco yelled back.
Just when it looked like it would get ugly Neville walked over and grabbed them by the back of their shirts."Don't fight you two, it's not civilized to fight in front of young women." he said, indicating to the Mirnoth girls and Hermione.
"Yeah, right." Harry said, letting his fist drop to his sides.
"Yeah, definitely right Neville." Draco said as he too dropped his fists.
After that they spent two hours learning about what the Sispinelettie plant did. It did do some interesting things, like trying to eat Seamus, biting Ron, Shooting spikes at Harry and Draco, and singing softly to the girls.
Harry looked over at the girls' group, where he could hear several "Aw"s and some singing. Then Draco leaned towards him. "Do ya hear that?" he whispered into Harry's ear. Harry barely stopped himself from passing out due to his close proximity to Draco, not to mention the other boy's breath on his cheek.
"Hear what?" he barely choked out.
"I hear purring." he whispered again. This time Harry looked at the girls' group again and strained his ears. He too heard the faint purring.
Seamus walked over to the girls. "Wha's that noise?" he asked. The girls turned around and looked at him, and about ten seconds after that the plant launched itself at Seamus. "ARGH! IT'S TRYIN' TA' EAT ME!!!" he screamed as the plant sank huge fangs into Seamus' arm. Ron ran over and tried to pull it off but screamed as the thing bit his foot before turning back to Seamus. Harry and Draco ran over to try and free the poor Scottish boy but the Sispinelettie shot spikes from it's spine at them. Both boy's ducked under the tables and barely avoided being hit.
Neville walked over humming and stroked the plant just over its spine's and it let go of Seamus and began purring softly. He handed it to one of the girls and helped Seamus up. They walked to the other side of the greenhouse, followed by the other member's of the "Rescue Seamus" party. "That's why we're studying dead Sispineletties." Neville said.
"Um, and why is that?" Ron asked.
"Because they don't like males." Neville replied. Their eyes all got wide.
"But it liked you?" Draco said, not accepting the fact that a stupid plant didn't like males.
Neville shrugged. "All plants like me." he said nonchalantly while spreading aloe on the bite from the plant.
The bell rang for lunch and all the boys except Neville stampeded out the door, trying their hardest to escape the male hating plant. The girls were reluctant to leave and Neville had to physically remove several of them, including Ginny.
They were all finally at lunch when Crabbe and Goyle walked over to the Mirnoth table to talk to Draco, followed closely by two German-looking girls and Pansy Parkinson.
The two German-looking girls went to talk to Arale, and the other three moved towards Draco, who checked to see that Ginny and Harry were at the other end of the table.
"What's up?" he asked Crabbe and Goyle, ignoring Pansy.
"Everybody says you're a traitor, sayin' that if you're this balanced or whatever then you have Gryffindor traits." Goyle said. Crabbe just nodded behind him and Pansy crossed her arms.
"Only Gryffindor trait I have is survival instincts. I've just wised up since I was a first year, that's all." Draco responded, hoping they bought it.
"Well we knew that there was nothing wrong with you." Crabbe said. "We knew you hadn't changed, but some of the other guys have been talkin' about it."
"Hmm. Some one needs to teach them a lesson." Draco said, his hand on his chin.
"It'd be our pleasure boss." Goyle said, smirking evilly.
"Do what you like." Draco said waving his hand in the air. As Crabbe and Goyle left, Pansy came nearer.
"Hey Draco." she said in her raspy voice.
"Whadda YOU want?" he asked distastefully.
"Are we still going out or not?" she asked.
Harry's chest constricted as he heard what Pansy said. His breath was caught in his throat and his eyes were wide.
Draco put his hand on his head and gritted his teeth. "We were never dating." he ground out. "Get that through your head. Even if I liked you, my mother would forbid it."
Harry felt the knot in his stomach loosen. He closed his eyes and took in a few deep breaths.
"You okay Harry?" Ginny asked, her head tilted.
"Dray tilts his head that way." Harry whispered.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Nothing. I'm fine Gin'." he said as he ruffled her hair.
"Hey! I'm not a kid anymore ya' know." she said exasperated.
"Yeah, I know." Harry said. "That's what scares me Gin'." he said smiling sadly. She looked at him confused. "Nevermind Gin'." he said as he turned back to his lunch. Draco was now looking at him. ~Oh no. Please don't let him have noticed.~ Harry prayed as Draco stared at him, his eyes boring into Harry's own.
He looked down at his food and started to eat quickly, too quickly unfortunately. He excused himself and dashed out of the Great Hall headed towards the bathroom, where he lost his lunch, and his breakfast.
He sat there next to the toilet, his head hanging above the bowl. He was breathing hard when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and recognized the guy as a Slytherin seventh year. "You okay?" he asked kindly.
Harry nodded and turned back to the toilet and lost a bit more of his lunch. The boy walked out and came back with a washcloth soaked with cold water. He was cleaning Harry's face when Draco walked in.
"Sifter. What are you doing in here?" he asked suspiciously.
"Just helping out." he said standing up. Harry was still leaning over the toilet from his last bout of upchucking, so he didn't see the anger on Draco's face.
He snatched the washcloth from Sifter and walked over to Harry. Sifter walked out of the bathroom and returned to the Great Hall. "Har', what were you thinking? Letting Sifter help you out. Jesus."
"I don't believe in Jesus Dray." Harry said with a small smile before returning to puking his guts out. Draco just shook his head and cleaned Harry's mouth.
By the end of lunch Harry was back to normal and he and Draco got their books and headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts. They had all heard some strange tales about the teacher, who was not their when they walked in.
Harry sat next to Ron and Draco sat next to Arale. Serenity was sitting with Seamus and Ginny was sitting next to Neville. Hermione was up in front with none other than Sifter, laughing at something.
Just then they heard a door slam and they all turned around. All they could see was the back of a woman with long purple hair, tied halfway down the strands. As she turned around they could see steel grey eyes, and a small nose, severe moth, and a long scar that started an inch above her left eye and ended an inch below it.
"Good day class. I am Meridia Sinclair, your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"Must not be very good at defense against the dark arts to get a scar like that."
The voice came from somewhere near the back of the room. "I'd like to see you take on a Norwegian Ridgeback and leave without a scratch." she said, smirking at the kid who made the comment. It was a Slytherin boy. "Have you ever taken on a dragon?" she asked him, still smirking.
"Uh, well, no." he said nervously.
"Hmm, well, if you had any experience with scars you would be able to tell that this scar come from poisonous dragon claws, as baby claws tend to be, and not from any form of dark art." she said, sneering at the boy.
One of the usually more timid girls on the Slytherin side raised her hand. "Yes?" Professor Sinclair asked.
"I was just wondering, what house were you in when you were here?" she asked.
"I didn't go to Hogwarts, I went to the Witch Academy in Salem." she said, a sad smile on her face. They had all heard about that academy. The Salem witch trials were major events in history. Unfortunately over half of those convicted were actually muggles. It was pretty sad really, how everything turned out.
It was strange that their new teacher had come from Salem. Of course, everyone thought that her job was cursed anyway since no one stayed more than a year. It seemed that anyone who held that position was destined for bad fortune. Although, it hadn't been that way before Harry came. Everyone had been a bit surprised that the one who would be offered, not to mention take the job, was a woman.
"Alright, I need volunteers for a demonstration." she said. "Harry Potter, come."
He hated his name sometimes, but she wasn't treating him like a celebrity so it was something else.
"I need another volunteer." she stated before calling to one of the Slytherin boys. Harry about died, it was Goyle. "Now, this," she said, "is a weapon wound." she pointed at a gash on Goyle's arm. "It appears to be from a rapier of some sort. You will notice the slight rise off the skin. This however," she said as she moved Harry's hair and pointed at his scar," is an example of a scar from a dark spell. There are no rough edges, it is completely flat and usually shaped like something representing the wizard who cast it." she looked a bit wild as she said this.
"And this," she said, thrusting the hair away from her eye," is the scar from a poisonous creature." Her eyes were mere slits and her grey eyes looked menacing. "You may go back to your seats now." she said to Harry and Goyle, her eyes returning to their normal size and with less intensity.
Harry and Goyle returned to their seats quickly, not wanting to incite the rage of their new teacher. The rest of the class passed in a similar manner. Everyone being quiet and listening intently, occasionally taking notes. As class ended and they walked out of the classroom Harry was hugging his books to his chest, like a lot of the girls did. ~That teacher scares me~ he thought, his eyes rather large.
"Hey fag."
"Huh?" Harry asked as he turned around. "Um, what do you want?" he asked.
"I called you a fag, don't you get it?" the larger boy said.
"Uh, not really." Harry said, biting his lower lip.
"God, look how girly he acts." the other kid said to his friends. "The hero of the wizarding world is a fag." he said laughing.
Harry seriously didn't get it. What was a fag? Just then Serenity appeared in front of them, she had dropped from the staircase, as was apparent since she was crouched over on the palms of her feet, the fingers of one hand holding her steady. She stood up, slowly pushing against the palms of her feet, applying slight pressure to her fingertips. ~Such grace~ he thought.
Serenity looked at the boys in front of her. They were large and hulky but they obviously didn't have much brains between them. "What did you call Harry?!" she asked outraged.
"I called your little buddy a fag." the boy said smirking. "What you gonna do about it, pull my hair?"
"That's a good one C.J." one of the other boys said.
"You scum, you have no idea what you're up against." she growled out.
"Ha, all you can do is hex me. I'm bigger than you, I'd trample you in a fight little girl." he said, his smirk growing wider. The smirk was knocked off his face as she delivered a roundhouse kick to his jaw. He fell to the floor and she stood there grinning.
Serenity leaned over and grabbed his shirt collar and put her face in his. "Now who got trampled?" she whispered before letting go of him so that his head hit the floor.
And as all things go, Serenity got told on, so she and Harry and all the other Mirnoth's ended up in the headmaster's office.
"What do you have to say for yourself? Hmm?" Snape asked Serenity. "You are supposed to set an example for the other houses, you are supposed to be unity."
"I had to hit him!" she said.
"And why is that?" asked Dumbledore kindly.
She lowered her head again. "Because he called Harry a fag." she choked out. She brought her hands up to cover her face and started to sob.
Draco was looking at Harry and Arale had an arm around Serenity. Ginny was shaking her head. "Um, what's a fag?" Harry asked.
"A homosexual." Snape said, in a voice more kind than usual.
Harry looked like he'd been gobsmacked. He leant against a pillar and slid down it to the floor, wrapping his arms around his knees. "Why did you fight for me Serenity?" he asked her.
"Because, in my world, you don't insult someone's family. And, in my world my friends are a part of my family." she said, on the verge of tears again. She buried her face back in her hands and started to sob again. Arale just rubbed her back and shushed her.
"I see." said Dumbledore." We will let it go this time. You have all had a long day, you may return to your common room. Severus will give you his lesson in private." he said, eyeing Snape to tell him he had too.
"Thank you Professor." Serenity and Harry said.
And so they all walked back to the common room, hand in hand. Serenity's in Harry's.

Chapter Two
The next day Harry woke up on the floor of the Mirnoth boy's dorm. ~What am I doing on the floor?~ he wondered. "What are you doing on the floor Potter?" Malfoy asked curiously and with less malice than usual. When Harry looked over at him he had his head tilted to the side sorta like a dog did. Harry chuckled a little. "What are you laughing at?" Draco said raising an eyebrow and tilting his head a little more. Harry burst into uncontrolled laughter which only grew louder at the irritated look Malfoy gave him. "You are really weird." he said looking at Harry strangely before getting out of bed.
Harry just lay on the floor watching Draco. The other boy really wasn't that bad, come to think of it. Last year he hadn't been all that snotty, especially since his mom told him his grandpa was a vampire. Harry only knew because Draco had told him last year. They had made a temporary truce since Draco had needed someone to help him as a teenage vampire. Harry had allowed him to suck his blood so that Draco didn't go rampant and attack people. That situation was over now though since he was only part vampire and his blood thirst only happened every sixteen years.
"What ARE you staring at Potter?" Draco's words brought Harry back to the present. He blushed a little and shook his head. He stood up and looked at his bed trying to figure out how he had ended up on the floor. He was standing there deep in thought when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around slowly and his emerald eyes locked with Draco's own grey ones. "Are you okay Harry?" It'd been awhile since Harry had seen such anxiousness in his eyes, and it had been quite awhile since he had addressed Harry by his first name.
"I'm fine. Why?" Harry said, trying not to choke at the look in Draco's eyes.
"Well, it's just that you've been a little quiet and you at least normally respond in someway if I insult you or talk to you." he said blushing.
Harry grinned from ear to ear. "Was widdle Dwakie poo wowwied about wittle ol' me?" he said teasingly as he tickled Draco's abdomen. He soon had the blonde rolling on the floor laughing and begging him to stop before he exploded. Harry only tickled him harder which resulted in Draco shrieking with laughter and Harry laughing right along with him.
The door suddenly flew open and all three of the girls rushed in, wands ready, hair a total mess. The boys looked at each other and then at them and both burst into laughter. "Um. What were you doing?" Ginny asked uncertain of what was going on, red hair sticking up at odd angles.
"Um, well. Err. Harry was tickling me and um well I sorta um ya know, shrieked." Draco said, barely able to get it out. The girls all looked at each other and then at the boys and started to laugh hysterically.
"You, the mighty Draco Malfoy, shrieking because of being tickled?" Ginny laughed and held her sides at the hilarity of it all.
Draco glared at her and Serenity smiled. Arale was grinning. She had heard of Draco Malfoy and his reputation which made this extremely funny.
"Well, I dunno about you guys but I'm starving." Serenity said matter- of-factly. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright then. Let's get ourselves properly dressed and ready for breakfast." with that she turned and walked out of the boys' dorm to the girls' dorm. The other two soon followed leaving the two boys alone. They looked away from each other and dressed in silence.
Once again Harry felt a hand on his shoulder. "What is it Draco?" he asked without turning around, his voice emotionless.
"Um. You're alright from last year right? The marks are all gone?" he asked quietly. Harry stiffened. Draco never really mentioned that except the once on the train and he hadn't actually referred to what had occurred between them. It was something neither of them really wanted to talk about. Draco was ashamed of his heritage and Harry didn't know how he felt about the whole situation. One thing was for sure, they hadn't expected to be thrust together again, not in a strange twist of fate like this anyway.
"Yeah. They're gone. They went away over the summer." he said softly.
"That's good. Your aunt and uncle didn't say anything about them did they?" Draco asked. ~Oh if you only knew~ Harry thought.
~~Flashback~~ The Dursley's house sometime during the summer.
"Where did you get those marks boy?" Uncle Vernon asked with more kindness than he normally showed.
"Nowhere Uncle Vernon." Harry said looking away.
"They're not beating you at that school are they?" Aunt Petunia asked curiously.
"Of course not!" Harry said more forcefully than he meant to.
"Don't shout at her boy." Uncle Vernon said in a strangely calm voice. "If they are then we want the truth."
Harry looked over at Dudley for some support. Dudley looked at him but didn't seem to be much help. "They don't beat me sir, honestly."
Uncle Vernon didn't look convinced until Dudley spoke up. "I don't think they would beat him or anything Dad. He probably just got those marks and such from that Quidditch stuff ya know?"
"Yes I suppose you're right. Got a good head on your shoulders boy." Uncle Vernon said turning back to his dinner. Harry flashed Dudley a look that he hoped said thank you and both of them resumed eating. After dinner they were sent off to bed, but instead of going to his own room Harry went to Dudley's, knowing that he would want the truth behind the marks. He and Dudley sat there for a few minutes playing Tekken 4 silently before Dudley asked his questions.
"So Har', where did you get those marks? I know those aren't from quidditch. I've seen your bruises from quidditch and they look nothing like it." Harry sighed and paused the game.
He turned to Dudley and began to relate his story. After he was done he just sorta looked at Dudley who looked back at him before hugging him. "That's alot to go through Har'." he said quietly. Harry just breathed out and hugged his cousin back. They sat like that until dawn, neither wanting to brake one of the few moments that showed they cared.
~~End Flashback~~
"No. They didn't ask." Harry lied. He didn't even want to put Draco through the worry of thinking a muggle family might know his secret, even if one member of that family did.
"So you didn't get in trouble or anything?" Well that was a surprise. Draco was actually asking him if he got in trouble instead of saying 'Well then my secrets safe'. Miracles CAN happen. Harry chuckled. "Hey, what's so funny? You didn't get in trouble did you?"
"No I didn't Draconis." he said, using Draco's full name, something even his imprisoned father had never done. It meant dragon or some such in Latin.
Draco playfully punched him in the arm. "Just because I told you my full name doesn't mean you can use it. It's my mother's name for me and you know that." he said lifting his head up.
"Whatever Dray." Harry said as he turned to walk out of the dormitory.
"Hey, wait up." Draco said. "I can't believe we have to wear white robes. It's just weird. I wonder why?"
"Maybe because the balance represents some kind of purity or something." Harry responded.
"Hey Har', ya think that if I had never known about my grandfather that I would be a Mirnoth?"
"Don't take this wrong Dray but probably not." Harry replied. Just then they reached the floor and there was Snape, boring holes into their eyes with his.
"Thank you two gentlemen for FINALLY joining us this fine morning. Now we can all eat our breakfast and discuss your schedules." he said in a low tone. Both boys gulped and Snape had to suppress a smirk. That always got them. You either growl or speak in a low calm voice, scares the shit out of the twerps.
"Since the boys are here, don't you think we should eat now Professor?" Serenity asked politely moments before her stomach let out a long, low growl. Arale chuckled and Ginny giggled. Serenity just smiled and looked at their food.
The boys and Snape sat down at the table, which had as many servings as the Great Hall's tables. Everyone started to dig in until they noticed Serenity with her head bowed and her hands inches above her food. She was reciting an old incantation thanking the spirits for the bountiful food and her safe journey. The other's stopped and prayed to their respective gods before continuing to eat.
Serenity began to eat and was chewing her cereal thoughtfully when she suddenly sprang up from the chair with an "Ah ha! I knew I was forgetting something!" and racing up the stairs of the girl's dorm. Arale and Ginny exchanged glances and then looked up at the door to their dormitory. Draco and Harry also exchanged glances, shrugged, and returned to eating. Snape hadn't even looked up from his food when the raven haired girl had made her exclamation.
Just as suddenly as she had left, the girl returned, a strange object in her hands. She hung it over the fireplace in the common room. "There, that's better." she said as she sat back down.
"Umm. What IS that?" Draco asked, Harry's eyes bugging out as he actually SAW what Serenity had hung over their fireplace.
"It's a dreamcatcher of course. What else would it be?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, it's a dreamcatcher." Serenity confirmed.
"Umm. What's it used for?" Harry asked.
"It's supposed to catch your nightmares." Arale said, speaking for the first time that morning.
"It is also used to protect people from evil spirit. In legend it was used to expel the demons inside of Menocta(1). Though that was several large dreamcatchers and skilled medicine men that expelled his inner demons. Before the demons were expelled he was the terror of the plains. He was called the Comanche Devil. This was because the Comanche were the most fierce of the Plains Indians and were referred to in sign language with a snake. Menocta scared even them. He was a man of the Iroquois Nation. The White man called him the warrior of the land, since he killed settlers. The Europeans believed him to do this because the settlers had taken his land. The truth was that he liked to kill. But he was not known as Menocta at that time. He was Mihensa. But, I figured that if they could expel demons, then maybe they can keep away harmful spirits and let our sleep be safeguarded."
Everyone was staring at her, even Snape had been listening. They sort of felt honored that she cared about them all and didn't simply hang it over her bed. Snape, however, had found the story itself quite interesting.
"Well, that was an interesting story. However, we need to discuss your schedules. You will all have classes at the same time, and with the Gryffindors and Slytherins." There was a set of groans right next to him and he knew that Harry and Draco thought it quite embarrassing to be seen with each other in front of their old houses. "AHEM!" he coughed loudly before continuing. "You will also give up divination and muggle studies, or any other electives, to have extra Potions and extra Defense Against the Dark Arts." he had told them this the night before so there was no excited whooping, just nods of consent, while Serenity examined her food and Arale examined her nails. He handed them a set of schedules, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and headed off towards his classroom. Before he reached the door he turned around. "If you would stop looking so glum Mr. Potter, I might have told you earlier that Gryffindors can come in here. Actually all the houses are aloud in here except Slytherins. But they have to be invited by one of the five of you. I will see you soon." and with that he slipped out of the portrait hole.
Harry, Ginny, and Serenity high-fived. Draco looked a little glum and Arale just smiled. Serenity looked at her watch. "Ohmigosh! We're gonna be late on the first day!" she exclaimed. A few seconds later they were scrambling up to their dormitories and then practically falling back down with their books, and squeezing out of the portrait hole.
As they raced down the hallway, Harry looked over at Serenity. He watched her long hair stream behind her, she seemed totally used to running. He looked at her face and decided that she was having the time of her life racing down the corridor.
When they finally reached their first class(History of Magic), Arale's carefully combed hair was sticking up in several places, Ginny's fire red hair was falling in her face, and Serenity's feather headband was crooked. Harry's hair was only slightly messier than usual, and Draco, who practically plastered his hair, only had one strand out of place, which he fixed immediately.
They made it inside in the nick of time, and every single one of them stayed awake during the class. Hermione was grinning from ear to ear in delight over this fact. She kept having to elbow Ron in the gut to keep him from drowsing. The girls all took notes and the boys just paid attention.
As soon as the class was over the friends filed out. "What do you guys have next?" Hermione asked excitedly.
"Um." Ginny looked at her schedule. "Herbology."
"Us too!" Hermione said, indicating Ron, Herself, Neville, and Seamus.
" 'Ello again lass." Seamus said walking behind the main group next to Neville.
"Oh. Hi Seamus." she turned to Arale. "This is Seamus Finnigan, Seamus, this is Arale Strangoft."
" 'Ello miss Arale." Seamus said bowing.
Arale blushed a deep crimson and looked away from Seamus to stare at the ceiling. "What's wrong with the pretty lass?" Seamus whispered to Serenity,"Twasn't somethin' I said was it?"
"I don't think so Seamus, I just don't think she's used to talking to people much." Serenity replied.
As the group approached the greenhouses Harry and Draco were in the back, discussing quidditch. It sounded pretty heated and several people were staring at them.
"Ireland is the BEST TEAM EVER MALFOY!" Harry yelled.
"No WAY POTTER, GERMANY'S THE BEST!" Draco yelled back.
Just when it looked like it would get ugly Neville walked over and grabbed them by the back of their shirts."Don't fight you two, it's not civilized to fight in front of young women." he said, indicating to the Mirnoth girls and Hermione.
"Yeah, right." Harry said, letting his fist drop to his sides.
"Yeah, definitely right Neville." Draco said as he too dropped his fists.
After that they spent two hours learning about what the Sispinelettie plant did. It did do some interesting things, like trying to eat Seamus, biting Ron, Shooting spikes at Harry and Draco, and singing softly to the girls.
Harry looked over at the girls' group, where he could hear several "Aw"s and some singing. Then Draco leaned towards him. "Do ya hear that?" he whispered into Harry's ear. Harry barely stopped himself from passing out due to his close proximity to Draco, not to mention the other boy's breath on his cheek.
"Hear what?" he barely choked out.
"I hear purring." he whispered again. This time Harry looked at the girls' group again and strained his ears. He too heard the faint purring.
Seamus walked over to the girls. "Wha's that noise?" he asked. The girls turned around and looked at him, and about ten seconds after that the plant launched itself at Seamus. "ARGH! IT'S TRYIN' TA' EAT ME!!!" he screamed as the plant sank huge fangs into Seamus' arm. Ron ran over and tried to pull it off but screamed as the thing bit his foot before turning back to Seamus. Harry and Draco ran over to try and free the poor Scottish boy but the Sispinelettie shot spikes from it's spine at them. Both boy's ducked under the tables and barely avoided being hit.
Neville walked over humming and stroked the plant just over its spine's and it let go of Seamus and began purring softly. He handed it to one of the girls and helped Seamus up. They walked to the other side of the greenhouse, followed by the other member's of the "Rescue Seamus" party. "That's why we're studying dead Sispineletties." Neville said.
"Um, and why is that?" Ron asked.
"Because they don't like males." Neville replied. Their eyes all got wide.
"But it liked you?" Draco said, not accepting the fact that a stupid plant didn't like males.
Neville shrugged. "All plants like me." he said nonchalantly while spreading aloe on the bite from the plant.
The bell rang for lunch and all the boys except Neville stampeded out the door, trying their hardest to escape the male hating plant. The girls were reluctant to leave and Neville had to physically remove several of them, including Ginny.
They were all finally at lunch when Crabbe and Goyle walked over to the Mirnoth table to talk to Draco, followed closely by two German-looking girls and Pansy Parkinson.
The two German-looking girls went to talk to Arale, and the other three moved towards Draco, who checked to see that Ginny and Harry were at the other end of the table.
"What's up?" he asked Crabbe and Goyle, ignoring Pansy.
"Everybody says you're a traitor, sayin' that if you're this balanced or whatever then you have Gryffindor traits." Goyle said. Crabbe just nodded behind him and Pansy crossed her arms.
"Only Gryffindor trait I have is survival instincts. I've just wised up since I was a first year, that's all." Draco responded, hoping they bought it.
"Well we knew that there was nothing wrong with you." Crabbe said. "We knew you hadn't changed, but some of the other guys have been talkin' about it."
"Hmm. Some one needs to teach them a lesson." Draco said, his hand on his chin.
"It'd be our pleasure boss." Goyle said, smirking evilly.
"Do what you like." Draco said waving his hand in the air. As Crabbe and Goyle left, Pansy came nearer.
"Hey Draco." she said in her raspy voice.
"Whadda YOU want?" he asked distastefully.
"Are we still going out or not?" she asked.
Harry's chest constricted as he heard what Pansy said. His breath was caught in his throat and his eyes were wide.
Draco put his hand on his head and gritted his teeth. "We were never dating." he ground out. "Get that through your head. Even if I liked you, my mother would forbid it."
Harry felt the knot in his stomach loosen. He closed his eyes and took in a few deep breaths.
"You okay Harry?" Ginny asked, her head tilted.
"Dray tilts his head that way." Harry whispered.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Nothing. I'm fine Gin'." he said as he ruffled her hair.
"Hey! I'm not a kid anymore ya' know." she said exasperated.
"Yeah, I know." Harry said. "That's what scares me Gin'." he said smiling sadly. She looked at him confused. "Nevermind Gin'." he said as he turned back to his lunch. Draco was now looking at him. ~Oh no. Please don't let him have noticed.~ Harry prayed as Draco stared at him, his eyes boring into Harry's own.
He looked down at his food and started to eat quickly, too quickly unfortunately. He excused himself and dashed out of the Great Hall headed towards the bathroom, where he lost his lunch, and his breakfast.
He sat there next to the toilet, his head hanging above the bowl. He was breathing hard when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and recognized the guy as a Slytherin seventh year. "You okay?" he asked kindly.
Harry nodded and turned back to the toilet and lost a bit more of his lunch. The boy walked out and came back with a washcloth soaked with cold water. He was cleaning Harry's face when Draco walked in.
"Sifter. What are you doing in here?" he asked suspiciously.
"Just helping out." he said standing up. Harry was still leaning over the toilet from his last bout of upchucking, so he didn't see the anger on Draco's face.
He snatched the washcloth from Sifter and walked over to Harry. Sifter walked out of the bathroom and returned to the Great Hall. "Har', what were you thinking? Letting Sifter help you out. Jesus."
"I don't believe in Jesus Dray." Harry said with a small smile before returning to puking his guts out. Draco just shook his head and cleaned Harry's mouth.
By the end of lunch Harry was back to normal and he and Draco got their books and headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts. They had all heard some strange tales about the teacher, who was not their when they walked in.
Harry sat next to Ron and Draco sat next to Arale. Serenity was sitting with Seamus and Ginny was sitting next to Neville. Hermione was up in front with none other than Sifter, laughing at something.
Just then they heard a door slam and they all turned around. All they could see was the back of a woman with long purple hair, tied halfway down the strands. As she turned around they could see steel grey eyes, and a small nose, severe moth, and a long scar that started an inch above her left eye and ended an inch below it.
"Good day class. I am Meridia Sinclair, your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"Must not be very good at defense against the dark arts to get a scar like that."
The voice came from somewhere near the back of the room. "I'd like to see you take on a Norwegian Ridgeback and leave without a scratch." she said, smirking at the kid who made the comment. It was a Slytherin boy. "Have you ever taken on a dragon?" she asked him, still smirking.
"Uh, well, no." he said nervously.
"Hmm, well, if you had any experience with scars you would be able to tell that this scar come from poisonous dragon claws, as baby claws tend to be, and not from any form of dark art." she said, sneering at the boy.
One of the usually more timid girls on the Slytherin side raised her hand. "Yes?" Professor Sinclair asked.
"I was just wondering, what house were you in when you were here?" she asked.
"I didn't go to Hogwarts, I went to the Witch Academy in Salem." she said, a sad smile on her face. They had all heard about that academy. The Salem witch trials were major events in history. Unfortunately over half of those convicted were actually muggles. It was pretty sad really, how everything turned out.
It was strange that their new teacher had come from Salem. Of course, everyone thought that her job was cursed anyway since no one stayed more than a year. It seemed that anyone who held that position was destined for bad fortune. Although, it hadn't been that way before Harry came. Everyone had been a bit surprised that the one who would be offered, not to mention take the job, was a woman.
"Alright, I need volunteers for a demonstration." she said. "Harry Potter, come."
He hated his name sometimes, but she wasn't treating him like a celebrity so it was something else.
"I need another volunteer." she stated before calling to one of the Slytherin boys. Harry about died, it was Goyle. "Now, this," she said, "is a weapon wound." she pointed at a gash on Goyle's arm. "It appears to be from a rapier of some sort. You will notice the slight rise off the skin. This however," she said as she moved Harry's hair and pointed at his scar," is an example of a scar from a dark spell. There are no rough edges, it is completely flat and usually shaped like something representing the wizard who cast it." she looked a bit wild as she said this.
"And this," she said, thrusting the hair away from her eye," is the scar from a poisonous creature." Her eyes were mere slits and her grey eyes looked menacing. "You may go back to your seats now." she said to Harry and Goyle, her eyes returning to their normal size and with less intensity.
Harry and Goyle returned to their seats quickly, not wanting to incite the rage of their new teacher. The rest of the class passed in a similar manner. Everyone being quiet and listening intently, occasionally taking notes. As class ended and they walked out of the classroom Harry was hugging his books to his chest, like a lot of the girls did. ~That teacher scares me~ he thought, his eyes rather large.
"Hey fag."
"Huh?" Harry asked as he turned around. "Um, what do you want?" he asked.
"I called you a fag, don't you get it?" the larger boy said.
"Uh, not really." Harry said, biting his lower lip.
"God, look how girly he acts." the other kid said to his friends. "The hero of the wizarding world is a fag." he said laughing.
Harry seriously didn't get it. What was a fag? Just then Serenity appeared in front of them, she had dropped from the staircase, as was apparent since she was crouched over on the palms of her feet, the fingers of one hand holding her steady. She stood up, slowly pushing against the palms of her feet, applying slight pressure to her fingertips. ~Such grace~ he thought.
Serenity looked at the boys in front of her. They were large and hulky but they obviously didn't have much brains between them. "What did you call Harry?!" she asked outraged.
"I called your little buddy a fag." the boy said smirking. "What you gonna do about it, pull my hair?"
"That's a good one C.J." one of the other boys said.
"You scum, you have no idea what you're up against." she growled out.
"Ha, all you can do is hex me. I'm bigger than you, I'd trample you in a fight little girl." he said, his smirk growing wider. The smirk was knocked off his face as she delivered a roundhouse kick to his jaw. He fell to the floor and she stood there grinning.
Serenity leaned over and grabbed his shirt collar and put her face in his. "Now who got trampled?" she whispered before letting go of him so that his head hit the floor.
And as all things go, Serenity got told on, so she and Harry and all the other Mirnoth's ended up in the headmaster's office.
"What do you have to say for yourself? Hmm?" Snape asked Serenity. "You are supposed to set an example for the other houses, you are supposed to be unity."
"I had to hit him!" she said.
"And why is that?" asked Dumbledore kindly.
She lowered her head again. "Because he called Harry a fag." she choked out. She brought her hands up to cover her face and started to sob.
Draco was looking at Harry and Arale had an arm around Serenity. Ginny was shaking her head. "Um, what's a fag?" Harry asked.
"A homosexual." Snape said, in a voice more kind than usual.
Harry looked like he'd been gobsmacked. He leant against a pillar and slid down it to the floor, wrapping his arms around his knees. "Why did you fight for me Serenity?" he asked her.
"Because, in my world, you don't insult someone's family. And, in my world my friends are a part of my family." she said, on the verge of tears again. She buried her face back in her hands and started to sob again. Arale just rubbed her back and shushed her.
"I see." said Dumbledore." We will let it go this time. You have all had a long day, you may return to your common room. Severus will give you his lesson in private." he said, eyeing Snape to tell him he had too.
"Thank you Professor." Serenity and Harry said.
And so they all walked back to the common room, hand in hand. Serenity's in Harry's.
