The Return of Narcissa

"Get your ass up Draco Malfoy!" Hermione screamed through the door. Draco groaned and turned over in his moldy sheets. There was another knock and more screams.

"Oh, shut up mudblood, I'm up!" he yelled back at her and unlocked the door with a wave of his hand. Hermione stormed in the room with her wand pointing at him.

"One, don't call me a mudblood. Two, you are not allowed to do magic, you know that."

"Whatever, Granger."

"Get up and get dressed, breakfast is already on the table," she said and left the room. Draco groaned again and got up slowly. He grabbed a t-shirt and some jeans and threw them on over his half-naked body. He fixed his hair with a wave of his hand and exited the room.

No magic, who does she think she is, telling him that? What are they going to do, throw me in Azkaban for unlocking the door and fixing my hair by magic? Pur-lease.

Draco stumbled down the stairs to the kitchen and settled himself in a chair, ignoring the looks he was getting by half the Order, who were already deep in conversation. "Got a problem?" he shot at the closest one. He grunted and looked away from him. Draco smirked.

"Food anyone?" came a sing song voice. Mrs. Weasley came into the kitchen waving her wand like a baton and directing plates to their owners in midair. A plate full of pancakes, bacon, and eggs landed in front of Draco. A goblet of pumpkin juice also fell in front of him.

As Draco was eating Harry and Ron entered looking weary and sat down opposite him. Hermione came and filled in the seat next to him. She ate ravenously as Harry and Ron filled her in about the quidditch game that they had seen two days ago.

When there was a break in conversation, Draco decided to cut in. "So this is your place Potter?" he sneered.

"Yeah, but not really. I'm having Godric's Hollow rebuilt, but this is Order Headquarters and everyone else is staying here, it's much safer, you know," he said casually. Ron grunted and Hermione laughed.

"Oh, that's…nice…" he said slowly. "I'm going back upstairs."

He walked casually up the stairs back up into his room and lied down on his bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the mess of his life. When would they save his mother? Was Snape alright? What was school going to be like? He still had exactly a month to get ready, what would life here be like?

Lucius would probably call him a coward for joining the opposite side. Draco couldn't imagine what life was going to be like if his father got wind of this. Sure, he was in Azkaban, but he would escape eventually.

And then there was dealing with the mudblood. Her following him everywhere at school, sharing quarters with her and every single class was going to be terrible. She was so god damn- And there she was, knocking again.

"Granger?" he called out.

"Yep," she said and entered the room. She looked at his sheets on the bed that he had just hopped off of and she flicked her wand lazily. The sheets magically cleaned themselves and looked more appetizing for sleeping.

"You do that just to piss me off don't you?" he said annoyed.

"Like you calling me mudblood. I'm just showing off," she said and conjured a comfy chair for her to sit on as Draco lay back onto his bed, stretching out.

"You need a wand for that?" he asked and chuckled. He waved his hand and an identical chair flew out of mid air and landed across from her. He sat in his new chair which came with a footstool.

"Very impressive, but YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO USE MAGIC!" she screamed at him, like scolding a little child.

"I'm not being punished for it Granger. Come on, lighten up, I just conjured a chair. I'm not hurting anyone," he said and shrugged it off.

"I understand, but stop showing off. Just because some of us can't do wandless magic yet-"she said but Draco rudely cut her off.

"This isn't something you learn at school Granger. Snape taught me, and he learned it from the Dark Lord. It isn't that easy either," he retorted. She shrugged and put her hand in her pocket, pulling out Draco's wand.

"Here," she said, handing him his wand. Draco stared at her wide eyed. "You deserve another chance. I'm giving it to you. Don't run away from this place, Malfoy. You'll ruin your own life, not mine." She got up and exited the room, magically locking it behind her.

Draco flicked his wand in the air and caught it in his hand. His fingers were warm with the power of the wand radiating into his skin. He felt like part of him was back. A knock at the door brought him back to senses. He stowed the wand under his pillow and told them to come in.

Harry and Ron entered, lugging a large trunk that Draco recognized to be his own. They placed it at the foot of his bed and straightened up. "All your Hogwarts stuff is there, it was taken back to your house after you left last year. Your mother is downstairs, but you are to stay here and not leave, unless you wish to die a very painful death," Harry recited. "Professor Lupin told me to tell you that," he added noticing Draco's confident look.

"Whatever. Thanks for your help. Not!" he added and cackled loudly as he shut the door in their faces. But his smirk faded. Damn, even teasing Potter has lost its novelty.

He sifted through his stuff in his trunk and unpacked his clothes. All his robes he hung up in an old closet, and he folded his jeans and shirts into some drawers. He set his books, parchment, quills and ink bottles onto the old, rickety desk in the corner. His broom was strapped to the side of it, as perfect as ever. Would he play this year?

His thoughts were interrupted by another loud knock. Hermione stormed into the room and slammed the door closed behind her. "What was that with Harry and Ron? Can't you show one bit of respect? Harry let you in his house and Ron is going along with us hang out all the time! Do you have a problem?" she said very quickly.

"That was me showing the old me. Sure, I can show respect, but not to them. And do I sense jealousy on Weasel-bee's part?" he said lightly. He grabbed his wand from under his pillow and placed it delicately on his night side table. He looked back at Hermione.

"He's not jealous, he's just protective."

"Well that's good, because I would never try something on you. Ever."

"Good to know," she said and stalked out of his room, locking the door behind her. Draco sighed and curled up in his bed, finally drifting off to sleep.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Draco darling!" came the shriek as Draco entered the grimy old kitchen. Narcissa Malfoy ran over and threw her arms around her only son, hugging him tightly and weeping quietly. Draco simply rolled his eyes but deep inside of him, he was happy to see his mother again.

"Mother, it's good to see you," he acknowledged and sat down. "What's for eat?" he asked Mr. Weasley, who was sitting opposite him, drinking a butterbeer and reading The Daily Prophet.

"Molly is coming with the rounds for dinner now. You've been quiet upstairs, what were you up too?" he asked suspiciously.

"Working on a master plan to destroy the wizarding world," he said sarcastically and began to eat the food that was now situated in front of him. Noticing the look he was getting from the members of the family, he put down his fork and spoke again. "I was sleeping and then I read one of my schoolbooks. Calm down people," he said and continued munching.

Mad Eye Moody, Lupin, and Arthur Weasley exchanged looks and Lupin cleared his throat. Draco looked up and noticed the serious look in his eye. "We need to have a serious talk with you. We understand you have information regarding the location of Severus Snape and need any information we can get."

Draco looked at his mother and saw the look in her eye. "Excuse me, for a moment will you, I need to have a chat with my mother," he said sternly and left the room. His mother followed him quickly and Draco went down a hallway and disappeared into the living room. He sat down and relaxed a bit and his mother followed.

"What do you know?" he asked her quickly, cutting straight to the chase. There was no beating around the bush, she knew what he meant; she knew something about Snape's disappearance that he didn't.

"He was at the manor when they came to collect me, but he probably left when I did. That's all I know."

"The man is completely mad, why didn't he take me with him? I was there all alone that morning I had no idea what to do or where to go. There was no note, no sign of a struggle, nothing!" he yelled at her.

"He just left Draco, you were safer without him. I ran into him one day while I was on a mission. It's none of your business as to what it was either," she added coldly. "You have a second chance here Draco, once your back at school you can kill the mudblood and escape to the Dark Lord."

"No!" he said suddenly and stood up to face his mother. He didn't know what made him do it, but somewhere inside of him, he knew that his second chance wasn't for him to run away again.

"What do you mean no?" she shot back at him. "I'm your mother, and you'll do as I say. The Dark Lord expects you back soon Draco, he grows tiresome," she said wearily and shot him another dirty look.

"Well you can tell him," He said, his anger mounting, "that he can royally screw off because I'm not going anywhere! You can throw away your chance but I'm not throwing away mine!" he said and stormed out of the room, where Hermione was waiting for him, her wand out.

Draco brushed past her angrily and headed back to the kitchen, cursing his mother to hell and back. He thought she would change, just like he was changing, but no, she was just as irrational as his father. Hermione caught up with him and eyed his curiously.

"What Granger? I'm in no mood, as you noticed since you were eavesdropping!" he said as he rounded on her, his wand suddenly out of his robes in front of him. She grabbed his wand and lowered it from her face and gave him a look.

"I just wanted to say, I'm proud of you, even if you royally don't care. Put the wand away or I'll take it from you, now!" she scolded and walked away. She entered the kitchen before him and he followed her, sitting down and pushing his cold food away from him, his appetite completely gone.

"You wanted to talk Lupin?" he asked looking back at the men in front of him.

"Professor Lupin to you," he said sternly. Draco raised his eyebrows and looked at him curiously.

"I am headmaster of Hogwarts for the time being. Now, about Snape, we know you know things, and by the echoes of the shouts, so does your mother. So what do you know, tell us everything," he said and looked at Draco. He took a sigh and began his life as a spy for the Order of the Phoenix.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Knock. Knock. There is was again, the blasted Granger knocking on his door. "Get the hell in!" he yelled. Hermione entered the room and smiled at Draco, which she had never done.

"What's wrong with you?" she questioned. Draco groaned and looked away from her.

"I have a stomach ache," he said and breathed out twice. Hermione laughed and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Doing nice things for people gives you stomach aches? Must be a side effect," she said and they both laughed.

"Yeah, that'll be it. How is it that, even though I am the smartest boy in our year, I get to be Head Boy? I mean, come on, I was sure it would have been Golden Boy…" he said off hand.

"Are you referring to Harry? Because even though he is obviously the better choice, you do deserve it and you are on our side now. You also need a nice confidence boost anyways," he said in response.

"Yeah well, tell me truthfully. If Dumbledore hadn't died and I hadn't become a…a death eater, who would have gotten the spot, me or Harry?"

"Truthfully? Probably you. And just for the record, I still despise you," she said and got up and left.

A/n- A bit of a short chapter, but wanted to get it up for ya'll. Yes, the chapters will be longer and hopefully updated in the same amount of time or less. Please read and review, I'm so happy I already got reviews! I really appreciate it!

Reviewers, thanks!

Soccerpixie3000- Hope this chapter clears up some of your questions. No, I don't need a beta because I like to go through it myself; I actually like to read my own stories. I do learn from my mistakes, and my very first story (deleted now) was definitely a mistake. A big one. I definitely wanted to make this story seem believable after HBP because I think it will make me advance as a writer. If you have any criticism at all or suggestions just say it, I love your reviews. Thanks for being first reviewer!

BlackOwl892006- Haha your review made me laugh. Here's your update, really glad you like. I love Hermione and Draco together don't you? It's like good girl always falls for the bad guy, its classic. And oh yes, they will snog, but not yet. We will get there eventually though. Please review again!

Arwen12323- I'm happy you like my story. Here's your update! Thanks for your review!

Peace, I'm out.
