Reviews for chapter two!

Lita-2003 – I thought that was pretty cute myself Oo

Georgia – thank you!

Kitkat82 – thank you as well, I had no idea the way I portrayed Dumbledore would be so well liked Oo

Princess Pearliest – aww thank you! I feel the same way, I don't like Ron very much most of the time but I love Draco!

Karenelaine – you gave me my longest review for that chapter Hopefully your questions are explained a bit in this chapter, I like to think there are A LOT more wizarding families then the ones mentioned…and that wizarding blood isn't affected by incestuous relationships XD

Volume – thank you! You are the first person to ever tell me that a poem enhances my story! Sadly there isn't one in this chapter Oo

Thanks also to PirateGrl, ElvenGoddess696, IamWednesday13, Sierra Potter-Malfoy, HecateDeMort and Angelcity and everyone who reviewed chapter one. Your support is much appreciated, hopefully you will all let me know about the question at the end of the chapter, and review again!

(This chapter is dedicated to my best friend Laura…who I just let read my writing last night and she loves it very much, and lita-2003 for reviewing both chapters!)

III.

Harry stayed the night with Draco and the Slytherins, the beds in the Slytherin's dorms were king sized and the rooms were much, much larger then the Gryffindor's. Nothing actually happened that night. Draco rambled on about how they could do that in the morning and how bloody tired he was. So he kicked everyone but Harry and Blaise out before Blaise reminded him that they in fact, shared the room with most of the people he had just kicked out.

Blaise lent Harry a set of black silk pajamas, Draco offered but the boy was a good bit bigger then Harry, and Blaise was nearer to his size, but Harry was definitely the smallest. Theo was by far the tallest, of the group and Crabbe and Goyle...well you know Crabbe and Goyle.

Draco allowed Harry to wear Blaise' pajamas, but pulled the small boy into his own bed for the night. Climbing in behind him and closing the curtains, Draco said goodnight.

Inside the now closed bed, Draco lit the candle in the nitch on the wall.

"I'm sorry they just barged in like that…I mean sure, some of them LIVE here but that doesn't give them the right to just walk in as they please." Draco rambled on for a little while longer while fluffing his pillows and moving the covers out of the way while Harry just watched, amused. He giggled a little bit and then crawled forwards, finally kissing Draco to get him to stop his complaining.

Draco smiled and kissed Harry back, pushing the small boy down onto the bed under him. Snuggling up to the younger boy's side now, pulling away from the kiss Harry curled into Draco, with his arms still around the bigger boy. Burying his face in the green silk that covered Draco's chest he sighed.

"Night Draco…" and as they drifted off Draco replied in kind.

"Night love…"

The next morning, Blaise flung the curtains open and allowed Pansy to jump on Draco.

"Drackie-poo! It's morning time; get that pretty arse of yours out of bed! It takes to forever to get ready to even leave your room and we have plans for today!"

Draco groaned and kicked Pansy. Harry smiled as he woke up.

"Morning Pansy."

"Morning Lover!" she said cheerfully and Draco shot up as if someone had poured cold water on his head.

"Get out you disgustingly cheerful wench. Now! It's to bloody early in the morning to deal with you." He said coldly, pointing and pulling Harry closer to him. Harry just rolled his eyes and snuggled into the warm body.

"Oh dear," Pansy rolled her eyes. "Drakie-poo, no one wants your lover-boy. Well…sort of but they want the two of you out of bed and ready for the day! They don't want to do illicit things to him in the middle of the night like you." Draco sighed and tossed the covers out of the way.

The boys showered and Harry borrowed more clothes from Blaise, Draco made a mental note to take Harry shopping in Hogsmeade as soon as possible.

Everyone was sitting in the empty common room, drinking tea and eating some breakfast they had the house elves bring. Everyone else was at breakfast and would be for a good while yet.

"So…it is time to educate you Potter," Theodore began. "But the hardest thing is deciding where to begin."

"Alright, what if I ask…and one of you answers?"

"That might work." Pansy said with a nod.

"Okay…why do you all hate muggleborns and half bloods so much?"

"The answer to that falls best to me," Blaise said. "It has to do with our genetics. Originally Muggles and Wizards where one people. Everyone could do magic, and there wasn't fighting. This was along time ago, before and modern, or ancient civilization was even a possibility. It was a stage of the ice age that began it I suppose; humans had lived for thousands of year in between the stages, having evolved to what they are today generally. But the next stage of the ice age came, and some groups of people lost their ability to perform magic as parts of their brains shut down. Most groups lost at least some abilities, like the ability to move things with their minds, the ability to see the future, and so forth. The groups that lost everything were muggles. But this happened over generations in different parts of the world."

"It goes on and on, and is rather boring so I'll just skip ahead to now. The reason why we are against muggleborns and half bloods is because they weaken our blood. More and more squibs are being born…and before long we will be extinct. Muggleborns open our societies to the muggle world, endangering us all. Some rather important muggle political figures are muggleborn…and if they told the world about us, another event like the years of witch burning will occur again. That was the end of our two races mixing. But they would hunt us down and persecute us."

"We hate them because they live in both worlds…it might be different if they had to choose, our world or their own. And if they chose their own to have their magic striped from them and their minds erased of their time with us…but the muggleborns in our own parliament speak out against that. You don't see us with lives in the muggle world, do you? Sure…we venture out there occasionally, but to them we don't actually exist." Blaise finished his explanation, during which the other Slytherins had been nodding in agreement.

"They dilute our blood, and pose the threat of outing us to the muggle world…generally they aren't very strong magically. Purebloods are just that…pure blooded, our magic is more concentrated and easier for us to access because we are adapted to the use of it, we were born from it and feed off it while in the womb. Muggleborns…don't. Their body doesn't develop the channels that can carry the magic and twist it to do what it is commanded to." Draco added, they were all trying to get Harry to understand why things were the way they were.

"That makes a lot of sense…for muggleborns, but half bloods?"

"They are worse for outing us to the muggle world…because they literally have a foot in each world, or one parents. They are half pure, but half muggle and with them our bloody is still diluted, but more slowly…people care less if you are half blood or muggleborn so they are more dangerous because we aren't as wary of them, and more often then not they fully immerse themselves in the wizarding world, becoming one of us. They still kill us off though."

"Oh…" Harry looked down ashamed. "I'm a half blood…I'm sorry…"

The Slytherins laughed.

"No your not…" Pansy said.

"Yes I am, I would be wouldn't I? My mother is muggleborn, so she would still have muggle blood and my father is a pureblood."

Draco and Blaise shared a look and everyone stopped laughing.

"You're serious aren't you…you don't actually know…"

"Know what?"

"Harry, you mother caries two of the purest blood lines there are…Your grandmother on your mother's side is Divinity Lefay. A direct decendant of merlin, and your grandfather is Pythan Slytherin."

Harry just started at them.

"Then why does my mother have muggle relatives?"

"She doesn't, well Rose Evans and her husband David Evans adopted her."

"Why did her real parents abandon her?"

"They didn't…she was kidnapped by her nurse, who sold her. They never found Lily or the nurse until Lily came to Hogwarts. Dumbledore wouldn't let Divinity and Pythan tell her that she was really Raithial Divinity Slytherin, heir to the blood of both the Slytherin line and the Lefay line."

"Dumbledore? Why does it always come back to that old man." Harry shook his head in disgust. He sighed.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." He said. "Lets change the subject. Why does Voldemort kill people? I understand now that he is trying to preserve the blood lines…but what does that have to do with killing people?"

"Voldemort kills people because he is insane. He is a halfblood, with more muggle blood then wizarding…his mother was from a very weak and heavily diluted wizarding family. His body couldn't handle the amount of power he was trying to use through spells and enhancing potions and stuff, he was addicted to them. Anyways, it changed him…those potions have some pretty gross side effects. He used some real dark magic to steal the magic of some powerful wizards in his first rise to power, one of them was a cousin of the Slytherin line."

"Oh…"

"We don't support him Harry," Draco said quietly. "We agree with the ideals that the whole war started over, but not with the methods used to take care of them."

Harry smiled.

"I think that is enough learning for a Saturday! It's a Hogsmeade weekend, lets go get Harry some proper clothing." Pansy smiled brightly and stood, walking towards the girl's dorm.

Everyone stood and went quickly to their dorms to grab cloaks and other more weather appropriate gear, along with their money bags.

A/N: Hey all! Sorry I was so long in updating…I was on vacation and computer less Oo its quarter after 10 at night and I just finished writing this chapter for those of you that read my other stories, I should have some updates up soon…but I had some written of a few stories, and I can't find it! So I guess I'll have to re-write it OO those should come sometime this weekend…ah well. Happy reading! And please review!

Btw, think about the magic-bosting potions along the lines of steroids…and all that stuff about the ice age is generally made up, I don't remember when we came into existence but just go with the flow XD Did you know, scientists think we are between the fourth and fifth stages of the ice age? O

To get the next chapter of the story…you need to tell me whether you think Harry should become a Slytherin or not. I see the Gryffindors going to Dumbledore requesting that Harry be removed from their house. Then he can be resorted, or claimed by the Slytherins. If you don't tell me which, you don't get a new chapter!
