Harry rushed out of the room once Dumbledore had gone but Draco walked out much more slowly. By the time he had gotten out it was obvious that Harry had already told the others all about the meeting that had occurred inside the kitchen. They were standing in a group outside the door talking and laughing.
Ginny nodded to Hermione and they broke off from the group and walked to Draco. "So," Ginny asked hesitantly, "which people were picked to be your guardians?"
Draco looked at the two girls, trying to figure out if they were going to make fun of him needing guardians before answering, "Dora and your brother, Charlie."
"Dora?" Hermione questioned. "Oh, you mean Tonks. That makes sense, you are related and everything. I don't know about the Tonks and Charlie combination though, it seems like playing with fire."
Draco felt a urge to protect the two people at her statement, even though it was true in a way. "Well, they're just a more volatile fire than you and your Weasley." At this Hermione blushed and Ginny giggled.
"Why don't you come and work on homework with us for a while," Ginny offered. "Unlike the others we're not going to be stuck with piles of homework to do the week before school starts. We're already almost done."
Draco thought guiltily about his huge stack of homework and nodded, thankful for a chance to start and get help f he needed it plus a chance for human contact with people his age that wasn't hostile. "Sure."
Charlie watched as Draco went off with his little sister and Hermione. He hadn't been able to tell what Draco thought about having him as a guardian and wanted to talk to him about it. It would just have to wait though. Charlie walked off glad that at least some people were accepting Draco.
"Bill says it's rubbish sold for wizard tourists and isn't reliable, because it kept lighting up at dinner last night. But he didn't realize Fred and George had put beetles in his soup"
