A/N: Alright guys...this is Augurey. Lacerta hasn't really been paying attention to our story much so I guess I'm doing it know. My name might change soon but yeah the story will be pretty much the same. Sorry it's been so long. I actually had this chapter done a week after the one before this but my computer wasn't working and then I went away to Dance camp and then Bible camp in the Black Hills, South Dakota. After that I had the local fair up here and then yeah, I had to type it up and send it to the beta. Hugs to Miss Red as a Pumpkin! I love you hun! So...I won't keep you waiting here's the next chapter! (oh...by the way I'm changing the title on the chapter before this)

That evening, while Ron was beating Draco spectacularly at a game of wizard's chess, Arthur Weasley came home.

"Arthur…I have something to tell you. Please let me explain before you go and do something rash," Mrs. Weasley started.

"What is it Molly? It doesn't sound good," Mr. Weasley said wearily.

!#$&()

"Um…I think we should go upstairs, or at least make it halfway up before he finds out guys," Ron suggested and everyone agreed.

!#$&()

"Well we have a couple new guests until school starts in September. The good news is that one is Harry…and the bad news is that one is…Draco," Mrs. Weasley started.

"Harry's here? That's wonderful! Wait a minute – did you say Draco, as in Draco Malfoy is here?" Molly nodded. "What the HELL is a Malfoy doing in our house? Where is he at?" Mr. Weasley shouted.

!#$&()

"Er…Draco, Ron – I think now would be a good time to make ourselves scarce," Harry said and they rushed up to Ron's room, leaving Mrs. Weasley behind to explain everything and calm her husband down.

The girls and the twins met the three boys upstairs after a few minutes. They sat around and talked about Fred and George's joke shop waiting for another outburst from Mr. Weasley. When none came after several minutes, they grew curious.

"How do you think he took the news?" Ginny asked apprehensively.

"I have no idea. Should we head downstairs and see Gin?" Hermione said. Ginny agreed hesitantly and they started down the stairs. They came back about five minutes later.

"Well he took it pretty well actually, but I think Mum probably had something to do with that," Ginny started.

"Yes, but he does want to see you guys downstairs. Something about introducing himself and 'laying down the law'," Hermione said amusedly.

"Well, we're gonna get out of here now while we can. Hermione. Harry. Draco," George nodded at each.

"Yeah, see you guys later. Bye bro, by sis," Fred added before the both Apparated away with a pop.

"We best get this over with, you know my Dad," said Ron.

Harry agreed and they headed downstairs, Harry dragging Draco along once again. When they reached the bottom of the stairs Harry warned a nervous looking Draco again to be good. They walked into the sitting room and found Mr. Weasley sitting in an overstuffed chair. As soon as he saw the boys enter he popped up from his seat.

"Hello Ron. Harry, it's nice to see you again," Mr. Weasley began warmly. "And Mr. Malfoy, it's, uh, good to see that you're choosing not to follow the same path as your father."

"Er…yes, but please, call me Draco."

"Yes, well I expect everyone to be on their best behavior this summer. If there's any funny business, any at all then there will be sever punishment. Draco, you are here because my wife and Harry seem to think you're trustworthy. I have yet to make an opinion."

"Yes, Mr. Weasley," Harry and Draco chanted simultaneously.

"Well, that's all. I hope to get to know you better Draco, and I hope that you will have a fun summer."

"Don't worry Dad, we'll make sure he does," Ron said.

"Why does knowing that make me feel even worse?" Mr. Weasley asked teasingly.

"Perhaps because my older brothers are Fred and George," Ron replied slyly, earning a few chuckles all around.

"Well you boys get back to whatever it was you were doing. Supper will be done soon, though. Please tell the girls," Mr. Weasley insisted.

The boys ran back up to Ron's room, only stopping on the way to tell Hermione and Ginny about supper. When they reached his room Ron sat down on a bed as Harry and Draco noticed there were only two beds in the room and no room for another. They glanced at each other for a moment and then Harry nodded his agreement.

"Er, there's really no room for another bed guys, so, um, er…yeah. I don't know," Ron squirmed uncomfortably.

"It's okay Ron – Draco and I had to sleep in the same bed a t Privet Drive because Draco was sore from his long flight and couldn't sleep on the floor," Harry explained.

"I was not sore! You were the one…er, right nevermind. Yeah, I was sore and exhausted and Harry just couldn't sleep on the floor," Draco covered.

"Well, alright. But you guys aren't into each other or anything are you? I'll take that as a no," Ron said with relief when seeing their (kind of pretend) looks of horror and disgust. "Right, well I reckon it's time for supper. I think I hear Mum calling."

As Ron went ahead Harry pulled Draco back. "You almost blew it for me back there! Draco, please, please, please don't tell anyone about my uncle okay? Absolutely no one. They'll go for revenge and I don't want that. Especially don't tell Remus, okay?"

"Remus Lupin?" Harry nodded. "Okay, you're secret's safe with me. I won't tell anyone unless you tell me to. I won't even talk about it until you're ready and want to," Draco sealed his promise with a tight embrace that nearly squeezed the life out of Harry.

"Right, I thought I told you never to do that again," Harry said to an anxious looking Draco.

"Well, I – I thought since last night, hey why are you laughing?"

"I was just kidding! You take everything so seriously. Come on, let's get down there before someone notices how long it's taking us."

"Yeah sure," Draco said as they started down the stairs. "Mmm, smells like chicken!"

"I guess you like chicken then," Harry said, quite amused.

Draco glared at him as they walked into the kitchen and took the two empty seats. Mrs. Weasley started passing around the dishes and talk turned to the Quidditch World Cup. While Draco and Ron were arguing over who they thought would win Harry sat and picked at his food. Hermione seemed to be the only one who noticed that he wasn't eating much. At that time Ron elbowed him in the ribs asking for agreement and she saw him wince slightly in pain. Just as she was about to ask if he was okay she saw Draco flash Harry a worried look followed by a sympathetic one. When she saw Harry mouth "I'm alright" to Draco she really got curious.

"Harry are you alright? You're not eating much," Hermione said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired I guess."

"Oh, okay."

He smiled his thanks at her for not pushing the subject and tuned everyone out so he could think for a while. He knew he needed to eat but he hadn't really had much of an appetite since last term. It was his fault Sirius had been killed no matter what anybody said. God, he missed Sirius so much. Why did he have to go just as we were getting to know each other? Why?

"Harry? Supper's through, do you want to go back upstairs?" Draco interrupted his thoughts.

"Er, yeah. Thanks for the wonderful meal Mrs. Weasley. Come on you guys, let's go up to Ron's room," Harry said, snapping out of his momentary depression.

Harry, Hermione, Draco, and Ron went upstairs to Ron's room. Harry and Hermione sat on one bed and Ron and Draco, who were becoming fast friends, sat on the other.

"This sure is different, isn't it? Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy becoming friends after all these years? I never would have guessed," Hermione whispered up to Harry.

"I know, look at them talking about Quidditch like old friends. Well, what's done is done I guess."

"Hey Harry!" Ron called over.

"Yeah?"

"How come you were being so shy about taking your shirt off when we were playing Quidditch earlier? I hope you don't think you're too fat, cuz I could probably see your ribs you're so skinny."

"Er, I just didn't feel like it okay? I just didn't want to. Plus, the game was pretty much over anyways."

"Oh come on Harry, don't be a chicken. You're in Gryffindor for Pete's sake! Where's your courage?"

"I don't have courage Ron? I don't have courage? Who's had to face Voldemort five bloody times? Who's had to lose people close to them? Who's got a Dark Lord after him? Who does the Wizarding World think is a deranged freak? Who has no bloody family because of bloody Tom Riddle?" Harry shouted at Ron, taking deep breaths afterwards to calm himself.

Everyone looked thoroughly shocked at Harry's outburst. After a few minutes Harry looked a bit more calm but then he burst into tears.

"Shh, it's okay Harry. It'll be okay. You can cry now. It's okay, you'll be okay. Just let it all out." Hermione said soothingly while rocking him back and forth.

"He's all I had left. All I had left Hermione. I miss him so much. I loved him so much and I never got to tell him. It's not fair Hermione, it's just not fair!" Harry managed between sobs.

"Shh, I know Harry, I know. We'll get through this okay? We'll all get through this together, all of us."

"Yeah Harry, we're here for you man, okay? If you ever need to vent your anger or talk or anything we'll be here for you. Anytime," Ron added.

"Thanks guys, for everything. I'm sorry I yelled at you guys and took you for granted last year. I'm sorry I yelled at you tonight too Ron. What a great friend I must be," he said sarcastically.

"Harry you're a great friend to both me and Ron. We understood last year and we do now. It's a hard time right now, especially for you."

"You guys must think I'm soft because of this," he said, wiping tears away. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

"That's fine Harry, we don't mind, really we don't. We're all your friends and we're here for you," Hermione said and Ron and Draco nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well, it's been a long day guys. We should probably be getting to bed," Draco suggested.

Everybody agreed and told Hermione good night as she went to Ginny's room. The boys got into their pajamas and shut out the lights. Harry and Draco curled up together in the same bed. After a few minutes they heard Ron snoring.

Draco turned around to face Harry and started running his hands up the other boy's sides and arms. Harry shivered. "Draco we really shouldn't. Ron could wake up," he whispered.

"Not if we're quiet."

"Do you really think we can be?"

"Well…maybe."

"That doesn't sound promising. Let's just stop and not risk it, please. I really don't wanna have to answer any awkward questions tonight."

"Alright, you win," Draco said. With a defeated sigh he flipped back over and they got comfortable again. After a few minutes they were both in a deep sleep.
