A/N

Okay, one of my reviewers is right in noticing the incredibly fast relationship of Harry and Draco. So, I thought I'd explain…As you could tell, Harry thought Draco was attractive all summer. Also, Draco has softened up quite a bit during the summer. And everybody thinks Harry is hot. Well not everyone, but you get the idea. So Draco thought Harry was hot too, but come on, like he would admit it. And living on the streets for a month is what softened Draco. It made him stronger, but kinder. That's why the relationship is escalating so fast. If that's not a good enough answer, then well, too bad. On with the show! Muhahaha! Dedicated to my awesome reviewers! You get chocolate cinnimon cookies!

Chapter 3: The Truth Comes Out/Hysterics

"It was shortly after I got home from Hogwarts. My mother was upset, as was I. My father was in Azkaban! Mother was slowly declining in health, and going deeper into depression. I tried giving her all sorts of potions and had Sev cast spells, but she remained the same. It got to the point where we had to bring her to St. Mungos." Draco paused and looked at the ring on his finger. "She gave me this ring before she left. 'Draco, don't give up on me.' I told her I wouldn't."

"Draco, I'm so sor-" The gryffindor was cut off with the waving of the dragons hand.

"I'm not done. After she left, the Dark Lord decided to move his headquarters to my house. I knew this wouldn't work for me."

"Wait, I thought you were going to be a Death Eater!" Harry suddenly looked angry. Draco silently told him to let him finish. It was hard enough with all the interuptions.

" He was still very displeased with my father, and would no doubt punish me for it. I wasn't safe there. Sev told me to keep low in Diagon Alley. Get a room at the Leaky Cauldron. That was a bad idea. Two days after I got there the Death Eaters found me. I barely got out in time. I left so fast I didn't have time to grab any of my stuff. That's why I looked the way I did when you found me. I was living off anything I could find. Yes, I had every intention of becoming a Death Eater, but that was before my father's "mistake." I obviously couldn't become one now. But living on the streets, being looked down upon by people, it made…it made me see how Granger must have felt. I actually understood how bad it felt to be called a Mudblood. That's why I don't have the same personality." Harry's heart melted. Poor Draco! He didn't do anything to deserve this! He was a product of his environment.

"But wait, why did you give me that remark when I found you?" Harry thought it didn't fit.

"Well, somethings never change." Draco managed to muster a small smirk. "You obviously proved me wrong. We are being so civil now. Even calling eachother by our first names. That kind of fast transition doesn't happen everyday." A little part of Draco was screaming No! He is the enemy! We don't associate with the enemy! Are you crazy? You can't let him in! This voice was then over come by another. What are you talking about? This is EXACTLY what Draco needs! Some one to confide in, to care about him! He can't make it alone forever! Besides, he is rather cute when he's worried…imagines the fight between the sexy devil Draco and the adorable angel Draco

"So basicly you need to hide out. Why didn't Snape help you?" Harry gave the blonde a questioning look.

"Sev? He has a role to maintain for Dumbledore, remember? He thought I could take care of myself. Thought being the key word there." Draco laughed. "Too spoiled, too pampered, too rich."

"Product of your environment." Exactly what I was talking about! At the same time, Draco's stomach grumbled and Sirius called up the stairs.

"Coming!" The boys yelled in unison, before laughing in hysterics, heading down stairs.

----------------------------------------

When they finally made it to the bottom, they were still laughing, in tears by this point. They just couldn't stop. It hadn't even been that funny. This is the happiest I've seen Harry all summer! It's probably the first time both of them have laughed since school ended. They needed the break. Remus was happy for them. However, when they were STILL laughing half an hour later, Sirius broke and cast a calming spell on them.

"Bloody hell, my ribs hurt!" Harry was still grinning widely, although the magic supressing the laughs felt weird.

"You can say that again!" Draco was equally happy.

"If you insist. Bloody hell, my ribs hurt!" This only brought them into another round of laughter. This time the spell was cast immediately.

"How about you guys eat lunch? We brought subs." (Subway, eat fresh!) Draco was overjoyed to find out that his sub was exactly the way he liked them. Large size, roast beef and american cheese sandwich on wheat bread, with tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, cucumbers, with mayo, salt and pepper and a dash of oil. He greedily bit into it, hence choking himself.

Harry just laughed, and took a bite of his own sub. Also large size, turkey and swiss cheese on white, with pickles, hot peppers, onions, olives and tomatoes, with mustard, salt and pepper. (ew!) He started choking as well.

"Sirius! You bloody git!"Harry continued to cough, and his face and neck was turning red, tears coming out of his eyes. Soon the tears were so much he couldn't see where he was going, fire coming out of his ears, and steam out of his nose. The remaining three now had a chance to laugh hysterically.

"What on earth did you give him!" Draco asked, still in a fit of giggless.

"Valdefervens Piper!" Sirius was turning as red as Harry in laughter. "Hottest pepper known to wizards!" Remus was also laughing nonstop.

The three didn't stop laughing until Harry passed out. By that point, Harry look like he had been bathed in red paint, and his ears were all burnt. Sirius took pity and returned back to good health before muttering "ennervate"

As soon as he was aware of his surroundings, he lept at Sirius, bringing them both crashing to the floor. Remus and Draco continued eating their sandwiches, watching the pair fight. Harry finally won, manually tying Sirius to a chair, and stealing his wand.

Harry asked Remus to remove the Valdefervens Pipers, and he did. After he finished the sandwich, Draco announced he was taking a nap, and the brunette untied his godfather.

"Did you find out what happened to him?" Harry nodded and told them to sit.

"After his father went to Azkaban, Narcissa went into depression. It got so bad she is now in St. Mungos." The old couple was shocked. It took a lot to get that deep in depression. "Voldemort-oh stop it you guys! -decided to make Malfoy Manor his headquarters. Draco knew that if he stayed, he would be punished for his father's mistake. He went to the Leaky Cauldron for a few nights, but the Death Eaters found him. He barely escaped. Since then he has been roaming the streets, eating would he could find, begging for food. I found him just in time. Any longer on the streets and he would have-" Harry stopped and closed his eyes. His godfathers knew what he meant.

"Well we can't turn him back. He can stay here until Hogwarts starts back up." Sirius was suprisingly the one to break the silence.

"We all know that Harry could use some eye candy!" It appeared the wolf and the dog had changed places. The brunette just glared at them both, before they started laughing again. Man does it feel good to be happy again. Harry actually was enjoying himself. First time all summer.

Little did the trio know, Draco was in the living room, and had heard the whole conversation.
