In Days of Old

Author: Kloak Dark

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything related to it. I do own Serenity Melindira, Meridia Sinclair, Mirnoth, and the Sispinelettie in the previous chapter. I also own Charles Jameson and Jason Hubley.

Rating: PG-13 to be safe.

Warnings: No spoilers cuz the seventh book hasn't even been written yet, but there is going to be yaoi in one of these chapters. That means boyxboy love okay? Technically there already is but it hasn't come out and screamed YAOI at anybody yet.

Summary: An exchange student has come to Hogwarts from America, and an old house is reopened, with Snape as the head. The gang is in their seventh year, along with Draco and his cronies. Draco and Harry have to share a dorm room. Serenity still doesn't understand the difference between purebloods and "mudbloods". Ginny is taking all advanced classes so she will graduate at the same time that the rest of the gang does. Neville is not nervous and forgetful anymore, Seamus is loved by all the girls for his accent. Hermione is in despair because Ron can't see how much she cares.

A/N: I made Ron a little oblivious and mean and rude so I feel bad. I know that's not really how he is, although he has been that way on occasion, but I needed it done for the sake of the story. I also realize that my Harry is a lot different from the real one, but he has to be for this story. Oh yeah, Dumbledore is going to announce the new head boy and girl in this chappy!

Kloak Dark: Ok, here comes more crazy stuff from the place that is my mind! Hee hee.

Chibi Koga: -------- Ish scared.

Seshomaru: What's your problem CK?

CK: It's a new chappy.

Seshie:*runs away*

Inuyasha: Am I the only one who has faith in Kloak?

CK, Seshie: Yes!

KD:*chibifies Seshie for having no faith in her*

Inu: *laughs and points*

CS: Anyway, on with the chapter*said in chibi voice*

Inu: And thanks to Rozghuler (doesn't think it's spelled right), Ambroise (doesn't think it's spelled right either), and the others who reviewed and gave Kloak helpful tips.

KD: Yup, thanks!

Inu,CK,CS: Now on with the story!

Chapter 3

"I wonder who the new head boy and girl will be." Arale said as they walked to their DADA class.

"Who knows." said Draco. "But I can guarantee that it's not me."

"It's most likely not me either." Ron said.

"I don't care who it is." Harry said, grumbling under his breath something about Snape's homework. "I don't get it; we get twice the amount of homework as the other kids. We have more than when we were in Gryffindor."

"Har', Snape used to give the Slytherins the same amount of homework as the Gryffindors, he just did it in private. He's not as biased as you think."

"Wow. That's something to think about."

"He used to give the Ravenclaws their homework a couple of days early because he knew how we liked to get everything out of the way." Arale said smiling.

"Oi, you Ravenclaws are an interesting bunch, that ye' are." Seamus said looking at Arale, who was blushing again. "How come she does that every time I say something to her?" he asked Serenity in a whisper.

"I think she likes you Seamus." Serenity replied, accidentally dropping one of her books. As she leaned over to get it, someone whistled. She stood up and turned around. It was that guy, C.J or whatever. "What do you creeps want?" she said, noticing a few of his friends from yesterday.

"I want a rematch with you little girl, unless you're too scared that your luck won't hold up."

Everyone stopped and turned to look at the guy that had just insulted Serenity. Her face was turning red in obvious rage. Harry was standing behind Draco, which caused a further comment from C.J.

"Look at the little fag hiding behind his boyfriend." He laughed and his friends joined him.

Draco stepped forward and grabbed Serenity's fist before it connected with C.J.'s jaw. She struggled to free her fist but Draco wouldn't release her. "You're just making it worse for Harry." he whispered in her ear," They'll just make fun of him by saying he needs a girl to protect him." At these words Serenity dropped her fist.

Draco walked around Serenity and stared at C.J."Come to defend your boyfriend?" C.J. asked with a smirk.

"No. I've come to tell you to lay off Serenity before you get seriously injured." Draco responded. All of a sudden, a fist collided with C.J.'s face. Harry stood there; he looked like he was in a trance. He was looking at his hands as if he couldn't believe what he'd just done. "Oh shit."

"What's going on out here?" came a low voice from behind them. Everyone turned around, and to their horror, saw Professor Sinclair.

"Harry Potter punched C.J. professor!"

"Did he? Would you four step into my office?" she asked, indicating Draco, Harry, C.J., and the boy who had squealed on Harry. Harry's face paled and he had to be prodded by Draco to get him to move. The four boys sat down in chairs in Professor Sinclair's office and she simply looked at them for a few minutes. "I will be right back, I have to give the class instructions. When I come back you will tell me what happened. And I will know if you're lying." She said as she got up from her desk and walked out of the door to the classroom.

Professor Sinclair returned and handed C.J. and Harry ice packs. One for C.J.'s face and one for Harry's knuckles, which were red. "Now, what are your names?" she asked.

"Harry Potter."

"Draco Malfoy."

"Charles Jameson."

"Jason Hubley."

"Now that we have established your names, tell me what happened." Professor Sinclair said.

Draco spoke up. "Harry was provoked professor. Charles called him a fag twice. Once yesterday and once today."

"Is this true, Mr. Jameson?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Did you witness this, Mr. Hubley?"

"I witnessed it today ma'am, but not yesterday."

"Hmm. Mr. Potter, am I correct in saying you punched Mr. Jameson?"

"Yes ma'am, you are correct. But believe me when I tell you that I didn't plan to do it or anything. It just sorta' happened and I couldn't believe it myself."

"Hmm. Mr. Potter, are you in fact a homosexual?"

Harry blushed at the very personal question. He wasn't really sure how to answer that one. "I don't believe I am professor." He responded quite honestly.

"Hmm. Alright, 10 points from Hufflepuff for name calling and 10 points from Mirnoth for unnecessary violence." Professor Sinclair said. "Now, go to your seats and finish your classwork."

"Ms. Sinclair, you don't have to mention this to our head of houses or the headmaster, do you?" Harry asked timidly.

"This time I shan't, but next time I will. Oh yes, Mr. Potter and Mr. Jameson, you have detention with me tonight." Harry's jaw dropped. This teacher scared him beyond all reason and he had to spend detention with her.

"Yes ma'am." They said in unison.

After class

"What happened anyway?" Serenity asked.

"We got 10 points taken from us, they got 10 points taken from them, and both Harry and C.J. have detention with Ms. Sinclair tonight." Draco said. "The upside is that she's not going to tell Snape."

"Harry, that's awful!" Ginny said. When Harry didn't reply, they all looked at him. He was biting his lip, and his face was ghostly pale. He was clutching his books to his chest again and his eyes were rather large and it looked like he was about to cry. He suddenly dropped his books and hugged Serenity. He started to cry on her and she just rubbed his back. Ron and Seamus looked rather stunned. Draco and Neville picked up his books. Harry finally let go of Serenity and wiped his eyes on his sleeve.

"C'mon, we're gonna be late for lunch." He said and took his books from Neville and Draco. He started walking to the Great Hall and they all followed him. About halfway there they broke into a run and clambered in the doors.

When they got to the Great Hall everyone was already sitting and eating. Neville, Seamus, Ron and Hermione said bye to their friends and rushed over to the Gryffindor table. The other's quickly seated themselves at the Mirnoth table and dug in.

"I told you we'd be late." Harry said.

"Oh well, it's fun to go for a mad dash every once in a while." Arale said.

"Yes, but we've done it twice in two days." Draco stated with a piece of lettuce hanging out of his mouth, which only caused everyone to laugh.

Dumbledore raised his arms for silence. "I will now announce the new head boy and girl. Normally they would have been informed before school started, but neither of them could be contacted for some odd reason. The new head boy is...Ronald Weasley." Over at the Gryffindor table Ron fainted. "And the new head girl is...Hermione Granger." Hermione joined Ron on the floor.

"Wow. That's great!" Ginny and Harry shouted.

Serenity walked over and poured water on the two, who she congratulated as they were sputtering thanks to all those who were congratulating them at the Gryffindor table.

"And he said he wouldn't make head boy." Draco said as he shook his head. "Well, at least I was right about it not being me."

"You have a very bleak outlook on life, don't you?" Arale asked.

"Yes, I am so bleak that I don't even know how bleak I am." Draco replied. Harry and Ginny just looked at him oddly. Serenity returned to the table with Ron and Hermione close behind. "Congrats on being head boy and girl you two."

"Thanks Malfoy." Ron said. He still hadn't quite gotten over all the things Draco had done to him and his two friends.

"Thank you Draco." Hermione said. Apparently she had gotten over it rather quickly.

"Yeah, congratulations big bro. But I already knew you were going to be head boy, and Hermione was an obvious choice for head girl." Ginny said matter-of-factly.

"How did you know Ginny?" Ron asked.

"Well, when they couldn't contact you they sent another owl with a note and I found it. I didn't see you until we got on the train because you spent all summer with Charlie, so I forgot to give you the message." She said. Everyone stared at her in disbelief until Ron started trying to throttle her. Then they jumped in and saved Ginny.

"How could you forget something that important?!" he almost screamed.

"What do you mean? You forget important stuff all the time." She stated.

"Well, I, um. That's different. It was never anything THIS important." Ron said and crossed his arms.

Draco looked at him for a minute before playfully punching him in the arm. "Come on Ron, cut her some slack. It was probably several months ago when it arrived. You would never have remembered either." Draco stated staring straight at the other boy with his arms crossed.

"That's true Ron, you definitely would have forgotten." Harry chipped in.

"I guess you're right. Sorry Gin'." Ron said.
