Chapter 7
Draco knocked on the large wooden door that had a silver snake carved into it.
"Come in." he heard Snape bark and the teenager complied, entering his Godfather's private chambers and he closed the door behind him. There, sitting before him was not the slimy bastard that others saw. Severus was slumped on his black leather couch, a glass of brandy in his hand and the other hand massaging his head.
"Severus if you have a headache then you shouldn't drink." Draco Malfoy informed matter of factly and sat in an armchair across from him. Severus was actually closer to Draco than his father had ever been. Snape was a git, true, but he had always been there for Draco. They were much alike. Both never had loving parents and they had cold indifferent masks that everyone else in the world saw. 'Except for Pothead.' Draco thought with a sigh recalling when he and Golden boy had locked eyes in the hallway that previous day. 'He saw right through me didn't he?'
"Why are you here Draco? Is Potter giving you a hard time? Humph, just like his good for nothing father and that damned mutt."
Draco saw a brief look of guilt on Sev's face when he mentioned the 'mutt'.
Draco shook his head. "I let his friends have him for a bit. I did want to talk to you about Harry though." Snape raised his eyes at Draco calling Potter 'Harry' and Draco cursed under his breath. Stupid Boy Who Lived had gotten to him, even now.
"You said to me one time, he has visions of Voldemort"………Severus winced………"and I was beginning to think. If I had been forced to take the Dark Mark, would Harry have seen it?"
'Shit! I used Harry again. POTTER POTTER, HIS NAME IS POTTER!' Malfoy screamed in his mind and he ran his fingers through his blonde hair. He rather liked the feel of running his fingers through his hair. He hadn't been able too when he had his gel in his hair. Besides, he was getting more looks from guys and girls with his hair like this. Draco would keep it like this for a while.
Snape downed his liquor, curious to his godson's behavior. He saw Draco try to put up his mask but Severus saw right through it. What he saw made him shiver and sneer.
"Don't tell me you have a thing for Potter!" he bit out and the teen sighed then his worst fears were confirmed. Snape rubbed his head again. He was getting his migraine back. Things never went his way now did it? Draco was thinking along the same thing.
"How am I supposed to know what Potter dreams in that over-inflated head of his? I know for sure that he sometimes keeps vision of the Dark Lord to himself even from Dumbledore. Ever since the mutt died, Potter hasn't been trusting the old badger."
Draco frowned. "Do you trust him Sev?" Snape nodded. "I do doubt him at times but then I know his does things for the best even how absurd they may seem at first, though I do believe he should have told Potter everything in the beginning about the prophecy and whatnot." Snape admitted and set his glass aside.
"Do you truly care for him Draco?"
"I don't Sev. Hell I'm fucking confused. Potty seemed to get the upper hand of me this time and now he's a fucking little kid!"
"I don't see what you see in him. He's arrogant, self centered………"
"Sexy and has gorgeous eyes."
" Foolish and he never listens."
"Messy hair and that air of innocence about him. I bet he's a virgin."
"He's disrespectful and an idiot at Potions and."
"Yes I bet he's a virgin. Humph he'd better be."
" Ignorant and cocky."
" I wonder how he is in bed."
"Arggh! I did not need to hear that. Get out with this nonsense!" Snape said disgusted. Draco stood up and smirked.
"Later Sev." He said and strode off. He was bored. In a few hours it would be dinner. Draco blew out air. He'd might as well enjoy the freedom he had before Harry would be bounced back into his arms. Maybe he'd take a nap. Yes, he needed his beauty sleep. 'I can't help that I'm so handsome.' Draco thought as he yawned.

"I can't believe this Mione!" Ron complained. "Harry's a friggin' kid now. And since when was he so chummy with Malfoy? Why does he want to stay with that bloody ferret? He should stay with us, we're his BEST friends."
Hermione rolled her eyes, quill scratching against parchment as she worked on her Charms assignment. "Honestly Ron you sound jealous." She said, groaning as a blot of ink landed right in the middle of her parchment.
"I bloody am!" Ron shouted looking at Harry who was playing with Gino and the puppy that Hermione had transfigured from a teacup.
"Itai. Omae o korosu chibi waraii." Gino snapped wincing as Harry pulled his hair. Hey he was sensitive about his hair. Translated he said, "It hurts! I'll kill you, you little brat." (I think. hehe) With that said, Gino began tickling little Harry mercilessly and Harry shrieked with laughter and Gino finally stopped when the little boy was gasping for air.
"I'm hungry." Harry said even though he ate lunch before his Potion incident. Gino took care of that problem, giving Harry was many candies as he wanted much to the disapproval of Hermione. He would be bouncing off the walls. Sure enough…………
2 hours later……….
"Ok I'm not jealous anymore. Take him to Malfoy and let him suffer." Ron shouted as Harry jumped on his back from a chair and began banging on his head singing incoherent, out of tune words.
Hermione turned to scold Gino for giving Harry all that candy but the foreign student had slipped away unnoticed.
"I want more candy." Harry sung.
"NO!" both Ron and Hermione shouted.

Draco woke up to the sounds of someone pounding on the portrait. He groaned and walked half asleep to answer the knocking. Someone was going have hell to pay for interrupting his nap.
"What!" he snapped and almost yelped when toddler Harry was shoved into his arms by Weasel and the Mudblood and they darted away before he could yell at them.
He set Harry down and the portrait closed behind them. His jaw dropped as Harry began doing little summersaults all around the room screeching, "Candy! Candy! Candy!" Merlin, what had they done to him?

Draco walked down toward the Great Hall for dinner while Harry skipped next to him happily holding his head. Harry's hyper-blast face had simmered down, finally and now it was time for dinner.
"Draco?"
"What Potter?" Draco asked. "I…….can I sit with you? Pleeeeeeeaaaaassssse?" Harry stretched out his eyes large and sad. Draco sighed and said yes much to the delight of the little Gryffindor who started singing a happy tune about gryphon's and toads. Draco didn't want to know.
When Draco entered the Great Hall, almost every pair of eyes turned on him. He knew then that everybody knew about Harry's accident. His face went beet red for a moment before he put on his Malfoy mask and strode hand and hand with Harry to the Slytherin table ignoring the coos of "How cute!"
He sat down next to Pansy and lifted Harry on the bench who could barely see above the table.
"What's he doing here?" Pansy hissed glaring at Harry who was not sitting on his knees and reached for a chicken wing and bit into it sloppily.
Draco served his plate and a plate of finger foods for Harry, purposely taking his time to answer Pansy's question. "He' staying with me." He said simply and cut his steak up in little pieces and stabbed up a piece and ate it. He wished he had a glass of wine with his steak instead of boring pumpkin juice.
"What! Why?" Pansy yelled and Draco wanted to punch her in her mouth.
"Because Potty is attached to me and besides he wouldn't be here if you hadn't pushed him in……"
"I didn't push him in. I accidentally bumped into him." Pansy said evilly and fluttered her eyelashes at Draco. "Besides, how will we be together if you're babysitting that brat?"
Draco looked at Harry who was gnawing on a slice of honeydew then turned back his plate. "Pansy there is no 'we'. Get over it." He said and began to ignore her. Pansy huffed and turned to talk with Blaise who seemed annoyed with her as well. She gave up on him as well and settled for glaring at Potter, blaming him for it all.
Harry glared back. "Stop looking at me you beech!" Harry shot at Pansy who fumed.
"How dare you you little………" She reached out to strike Harry but Draco grabbed her wrist. She winced as he dug his nails, his perfectly manicured nails into her skin.
"Pansy, surely you are not as low as to hit a kid as annoying as he is. I'd expect something like this from a Gryffindork." Draco said, misty gray eyes narrowed at the girl who gulped. He wouldn't hurt her, would he?
She ripped her arm away and rubbed the sore spot. "I was only kidding Draco." She lied and began to pick at her plate. When she looked over, Harry put his hands behind his ears and stuck his tongue at her. "Nah nah nah nah!" he taunted and Pansy shrieked in anger before leaving the hall in a tantrum of her own. Draco began to hear whispers circulate around the Great Hall. Oh well, at least Pansy was out of his hair for now.
"Eat your peas." Draco said to Harry who stuck his nose in the air in a very Malfoyish way. "No!" he said stubbornly and Draco scowled. "Eat them or I'll lock you in the Hufflepuff girls dormitory." Draco threatened. He smirked in satisfaction as Harry practically shoved his vegetables into his mouth.
