A/N: I am leaving things out, and I will be putting flashbacks in during occulumency. Also, Snape is good in this fic, and likes Harry, who can be broken easily. Also, people are plotting for Harry's sake because his story is well known in the wizarding world, and Harry gets so upset over the hate mail because it's his biggest fear to disappoint people. Remember, his first years, where he learns basic behaviour and views of the world. So his reaction could have been much worse. Plus, muggle London knows the story of the little boy who was hated for who he was, thus causing most muggleborns to know. Now, enough explanations, and on with the story!
Chapter 3
Harry retrieved his bag, and went back to Narcissa, who took him to his first class. Draco took his hand and squeezed it gently. Harry smiled, before listening to the professor, who was giving a lecture.
As the class ended, Draco dragged him to an alcove. "Are you all right?" He asked, and Harry shrugged. "As good as possible I suppose." Draco studied Harry. "All right. We have to get to Herbology." He said, dragging Harry out to the greenhouses by the hand.
"Hey Harry! I'm Hermione Granger!" A busy headed girl said. Harry smiled. "Hi." He replied, and they struck up a conversation about Hogwarts. Draco smiled at Harry, and turned his attention to Crabbe. Class started, and they got another lecture.
Harry stood as the bell rang, and went to Draco, who took him by the hand. Walking beside Draco, with Crabbe on his left and Goyle behind him, they went to their third class, transfiguration. Another lecture.
The bell rang for lunch, and they went into the Great Hall. Harry sat between Draco and Blaise. "Hey, Draco, we found something to use for revenge." One of the Weasley twins said, handing Draco a roll of parchment. Draco read over it, smirking. "Excellent." He said, and smiled at the two. They gave twin smirks and went back to their table across the room.
"Dray, what was that about?" Harry asked, and Draco shrugged. "Nothing important, just a prank I wanted." He said, slipping the scroll into his pocket. Harry smiled and tucked into his lunch.
Draco, on the other hand, was thinking. "Hey, Harry?" He asked. "Do you think mum would like a present?" Harry shrugged, swallowing before answering.
"Well, yes. Who doesn't like presents?" He asked, and Draco smiled. "Speaking of which, Sev- err… Professor Snape, has a present for you." Draco said, and Harry smiled. "Awesome! He didn't have to."
Draco looked around, feeling strangely jealous when people looked lustily at Harry. "Shall we go get it?" He asked, and Harry nodded, his smile widening.
Draco took his hand and pulled him away from the hall. They went to Severus's office, where he was eating while grading papers. "Another failure."
"Who?" Draco asked, and Severus sighed. "A third year Hufflepuff." He said, and put his quill down. "What can I do for you boys?" He asked, and Draco said "Give Harry the thing."
Severus smiled and handed Harry a small box. "I picked it out." Draco said proudly. (A/N: they are still kids, they're only 11!) Harry opened it, gaping at the beautiful bracelet in it. It was a platinum chain, literally covered with charms.
"We started it when you first came to live with us." Draco said proudly. "It starts on the left side of the clasp, and the newest are on the far right. Draco pointed out the first charm, which was a beautiful lily.
"That was because you were so much like your mother, and it was a reminder." The second, a platinum stag, was pointed out. "That one is for your father, he had a stag animagus. The third is for your godfather, whose form was a huge black dog." Draco explained, and Harry fingered each one. He fingered a crescent moon charm.
"Mum said that was for your mother's friend, Remus, but she never said why it was a moon. Anyway, the dragon is for me, the bat is for Uncle Sev, and the sun is for Dad. Mum's charm is the flower she was named for. Then we have personal charms." Draco said, pointing out each platinum charm.
"And this one is there because you reminded me of one." Draco said, touching the small lion charm fondly. "And mum said you were a little angel, so you have one of those as well." Draco said, moving on. "This one is a swan, 'cuz mum likes it, she said you were graceful like a swan, so that's there too."
Harry looked over them, before touching one of the last ten charms. "What is this?" He asked, showing Draco a tiny bottle. "It's a charm to make you resistant to most potions, unless they are given to you by Narcissa or I, or Madam Pomfery." Severus said, and Draco smiled.
"There are only a few others, and Mum will explain them to you." Draco said, showing Harry the last nine charms; an emerald set into a miniature sword, a tiny snake, a mini crystal ball, and a small flame caught his eye. Harry held the bracelet out to Draco.
"Do you think you could put it on me?" He asked, and Draco took the slender hand, clasping the bracelet. Harry looked at it, and the charms clinked together.
Harry threw his arms around Draco, who smiled softly. He wrapped his arms around Harry, who kissed Draco's cheek. "You have no idea what this means to me." He said, tears falling from his emerald eyes. Draco carefully wiped them away, and he smiled. "I actually do."
Severus watched this display with calculating eyes. He needed to talk to Narcissa and Lucius about this new development.
A/N: I know it's pitifully short, but I had major troubles writing this. Hopefully, my computer is all better, because I don't fancy loosing my stories…again. Anyways, review! Reviews are so inspiring to read, especially those who have offered criticism, it helps me make my writing better!
