Summary: After Draco leaves Malfoy Manor, new relationships and surprises await the trio in their sixth year at Hogwarts.

Lacerta- Well, we didn't get :ahem: as many reviews as I expected. You're gonna make me cry:(

Augurey- It's ok Lacerta, don't cry. If you start I will too.

Lacerta- Anywayz, don't cry. I'm gonna be brave and not cry. Maybe after we write another chapter you guys will REVIEW!

Augurey- Yes, I agree with Lacerta! Sorry this chapter is so late! Don't kill me! I've been at school and had writer's block for a while, Lacerta had to help me start the first part. We can talk about the second part later. ;)

Lacerta- Yes, sadly, Augurey's beautiful brain was malfunctioning, but that was after her huge inspiration! We're taking turns writing the chapters; I wrote the first one, she wrote the second, you get the point. Well, I'll shut up now. On with the chappie!

"Have you found anything yet, Ron?" asked Hermione over a large stack of books.

"Wh-Wh-What?" Ron yawned.

"Ron did you fall asleep again?" she yelled.

"Hermione, I'm tired and sick of looking through all these bloody books. What's the point, I can't find anything!"

"Do you want to see Harry or not?"

"Yeah, but…"

"No buts about it," interrupted Hermione. "Now, keep looking, there's got to be something here."

"Just look in the book on the bottom, it's always in the last place."

Hermione grabbed the bottom book and started to flip through it, but only after giving Ron an exasperated look. She suddenly stopped, "Ron you cease to amaze me. Look right here… I found the thing we need!"

Harry jumped back out of the way as that thing crashed through the window. He was narrowly missed by a flying shard of glass. The object was large and weirdly shaped, as it started to move Harry backed up and searched behind him for his wand. At the same time he found it on the bed stand he saw the figure straighten up. He was about ready to perform the Patronus Charm when he heard a voice. "Potter…" the figure said hoarsely before it collapsed. Harry couldn't have heard right…no, it couldn't be… Malfoy? He walked up to the person with his wand out in front of him. "Malfoy, is that you?"

"Harry, I need help, my father…" He paused as they heard footsteps coming towards the room.

"Shit, Malfoy in the wardrobe- now! Grab your broom too," Harry whispered.

Just after Draco got into the wardrobe Uncle Vernon stormed into the room. "You boy, what's going on in here?" he snarled.

"Nothing Uncle"

"Then why is that window broken? One of those people from your…your 'world' was it?"

"No Uncle, it was just another schoolboy prankster."

"Oh really, I don't believe you one bit," Uncle Vernon then started to beat Harry, putting bruises anyplace possible. "This is what you get, boy, for being a freak. Not one bloody person cares about you now that your fucking godfather is dead. How does that feel?"

"That's not true! I have people who care about me," Harry yelled back, trying to fight his Uncle off. He failed though, seeing as Vernon was about twenty times his size.

"If they cared about you then why haven't they come to get you yet?" he shouted out, but before Harry could answer he blacked out completely.

By the time Vernon was done beating Harry it was time for him to get ready for work. Draco didn't dare come out of the wardrobe until Harry's uncle had left. But as soon as he got over to Harry, the door opened and Aunt Petunia came in with a first aid kit and a wet washcloth. She stopped in shock as she saw the blonde bent over her nephew. He turned around and cursed under his breath. Draco straightened up and walked over to the woman.

"Hullo, I'm Draco Malfoy, I go to the same school as Harry, sorry for startling you."

"I'm Petunia Dursley, Harry's aunt. How long have you been here?"

"Well, it wasn't some Muggle prankster who broke the window, it was me crashing through it. I had no idea what Harry's home life was like."

"I see, well I should probably start cleaning him up, excuse me."

Draco leaned against the wall and watched as Petunia cleaned up Harry's cuts and tried to awaken him.

"Draco?" Harry's aunt asked out of the blue.

"Yes?"

"Would you do me a favor and make sure he's okay when he wakes up please? Vernon will be home soon and I don't want to make him any madder. Oh, and if you hear anybody coming up here, please hide."

"Yes, I can do that."

"Thank you, I'll be up after dinner to check on you and bring you something to eat."

Draco nodded, and at that Aunt Petunia went down to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Draco sat down beside Harry and tried to sort his thoughts out. So much had happened since yesterday morning after breakfast.

A few hours later, just as Petunia was entering the bedroom, Harry woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a blonde boy sitting next to him.

"Harry! You're awake!" the boy exclaimed.

Harry tried to sit up but every part of his body ached.

"Whoa, slow down there man, you took a pretty bad beating."

"Malfoy? What the bloody hell are you doing here?"

"Remember last night?"

Harry groaned as the memories flooded back to him. "Yes, but I want you out, now!"

"But Harry, he has sat by you all day waiting for you to wake. What is your problem with him?" Aunt Petunia cut in.

Harry just stared at his Aunt. "He is the enemy. His father is a Death Eater for Voldemort, and Draco was to become one this summer also. Oh, and he thinks only purebloods should be allowed to live."

Aunt Petunia looked horrified. She rushed over to Harry and wrapped her arms around him as if she were trying to protect him. "Oh, Harry, I didn't know."

"What are you doing here Malfoy?"

"I need your help Harry."

"Why are you calling me Harry? You've never called me that, why should you now? And what do you need me for?"

"I don't know why I'm calling you Harry, it just slipped out, Potter. I'm not like my father. He said I was to get the Dark Mark soon, but I don't want to become a Death Eater. It's just not what I want."

"How can I believe you? You're a Malfoy, Malfoys lie."

"I am no longer a Malfoy, I would disown myself before I become a Death Eater."

"Why come to me though? Why not Crabbe or Goyle?"

"Because they're idiots who would turn me in. My only other choices were you, Weasley, and Granger. Weasley hates me and I figured Granger would be with him, so you were all I had. Besides, no one would ever think to look for me here."

"Well, this isn't exactly the best place for you to be, you saw what happened last night. Though…if you have nowhere else to go…I guess you can stay. But if there's anything suspicious going on, anything at all, you will be gone- forever."

"Fair enough, now can we get some dinner?"

"Dig in," said Aunt Petunia as she pointed at the plates she had brought up earlier.

Augurey- omg! This was a big inspiration period! I was up really late writing the second part and I only got like 5 hours of sleep before school! I have no idea where this came from, but I do like it.

Lacerta- Good job Augurey! Well, I get to write the next chappie, so ha! Ok, I'm done! Please review! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!

Augurey- Alright, settle down Lacerta. It'll be ok. Yes, PLEASE review! I would really appreciate some reviews! I don't care if they're flamers; I then at least know that someone is reading the story.

R&R Please!
