Chapter 2: Switched Slytherin
It was cold and breezy as they got off the train. There was no need to take their stuff; it would be taken up for them. If somebody were to look at the two boys fighting to get to the castle, they wouldn't believe their eyes. A Gryffindor and a Slytherin extending the hand of friendship.
"Well Draco…"
"Yes…" They couldn't think of anything to say, so they continued their journey to the castle.
Hermione and Ron were in a carriage. There was one seat left, which meant that Draco would have to find his own carriage.
"Oh, it's you. What are you doing here Malfoy?" Draco had something mean to say on the tip of his tongue. He prepared to shoot venom, but he felt something on his shoulder. It was Harry's hand. With a meaningful look from Harry, Draco went to find an empty carriage.
"Ugh! Why did you touch that slime ball? As soon as you get to the castle, wash your hands!" exclaimed Ron. Harry took a deep, steadying breath. He knew that Ron would explode when he told him that Draco and him had called a truce, and that Draco was going to ask Dumbledore to switch to Gryffindor. He breathed in.
"Well Ron, me and Dra-Malfoy, called a truce and also he is going to ask Dumbledore to switch to Gryffindor." Harry said quickly. He looked at Hermione and both of them prepared for the explosion from Ron.
Ron didn't implode when they got to the castle and into the Common Room. Hermione and Harry were surprised. At first Ron had said that Harry was joking, and that Hermione was in on the joke. But when Harry and Hermione assured him that it was no joke, then he exclaimed.
"WHAT! DRACO AND YOU? A TRUCE? AND DRACO COMING TO GRYFFINDOR? THAT'S AGAINST ALL HOGWARTS RULES!"
"Shut up Ron! Everyone's staring at us!" Said Hermione. It was true. Many people's eyes snapped away from the three, then talk broke out.
"Malfoy switching?"
"No way!"
"Dumbledore can't!"
"Harry's gone nuts!"
"Just ignore them Harry, they don't understand." Harry agreed. They couldn't possibly understand.
Harry hurried as quietly as he could to the Slytherin Common Room, his father's old cloak wrapped around him.
"Come on, come on!" Harry whispered urgently. Finally, a Slytherin spoke the password and Harry slipped in. Draco was sitting on a sofa, while sneers and nasty comments were thrown at him. Harry felt a stab at his heart. Why?
"Draco!" He whispered. Draco jumped and looked around.
"It's me Harry. I'm under the invisibility cloak. Come on!" Draco nodded and got up. He crossed the room to the portrait hole.
"Git." Said somebody as they left the Common Room.
"Come on, Draco. Come under the cloak." Draco did so. Harry felt something shoot through him, it felt like electricity, a sharp shock. Draco was so close…. Someone walked directly at them and they jumped out of the way and crashed to the floor. The person looked around, searching for the source of the noise.
"Peeves…" They muttered shaking their head. Draco looked into Harry's eyes, and as he did so, Harry could see something dark and cold. Misery. Misery was in the blonde's cold grey eyes… except Draco's eyes were not cold. They were warm and friendly, but sorrowful. They were so close…
"Come on, to Dumbledore." Said Harry breaking the silence. He got up and so did Draco, whose eyes were cold once more.
At last they reached Dumbledore's office. They took off the cloak and Harry whispered "Cockroach Cluster."
The gargoyle stepped aside, and Harry and Draco entered the Headmaster's office. Draco was fascinated when he saw Dumbledore's pet Phoenix.
"He's called Fawks." Said Harry. Draco reached out to stroke the bird and as he did so, Harry could see Fawks' power trying it's very hardest to take away the misery enclosed in Draco. It sort of worked, Draco was not so miserable, but there was still a trace of sorrow.
"Well, well, well. Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy. May I ask why you are in my office?" Said a soft, kind voice. Both Harry and Draco jumped. Dumbledore laughed as he descended the stone steps to Harry and Draco. Draco seemed to be limp with shock, so Harry asked for him.
"Professor, Dra-Malfoy was wondering if he could switch to Gryffindor." Dumbledore surveyed Harry silently.
"It is of course against all Hogwarts rules." Draco's face fell. He knew that Dumbledore would never let him switch.
"However, I shall let you switch to Gryffindor under the extreme circumstances." His eyes twinkled.
"Thank you sir.." Said Draco quietly. Dumbledore nodded.
"Off you go."
In the Common Room, Harry, Hermione and Draco were sitting talking. Ron was elsewhere.
"Well Harry and Ma-Draco, you should get to bed, I'll go too. Goodnight." And she went to the girl's dormitory while Harry and Draco went to the boy's dormitory.
Draco was on the floor in a sleeping bag that he had conjured.
"Draco?" Said Harry.
"Hmm?"
"Do you snore?" Draco grinned.
"No-one's been in a position to tell me."
"Oh. I hope you don't."
"So do I."
