korrd- You know I never thought about having them do the ritual on James and Lily, but I don't think they would, after all they learned their lesson when they found out they pulled Buffy out of Heaven; besides the Urn of Osiris was destroyed so they wouldn't have been abel to do it anyway.

Chapter 8:
The Ferret's Change of Heart? You have got to be kidding!

"Malfoy!" Harry ground out between his clenched teeth as they watched the blonde headed boy get closer.

The group stood where they were at watching as Malfoy walked over, a pensive expression on the teen's face, not the usual snarky and disdainful look he wore when near Harry or his friends.

Buffy glanced at her brother and asked, "Who is that bro?"

Harry looked from Malfoy to his older sister. "That Buf, is Draco Malfoy. The fifth person on my list of people I truly despise," he answered, then turned back to Draco, who had just reached their little group. "What do you want Malfoy?"

Draco sighed. He knew this was not going to be easy. Hell, this was going to be the hardest thing he ever did, asking Pot-head for help. But it had to be done. He couldn't exactly ask Dumble-dore, because frankly he and his mother did not trust the old coot.

"You know I hate to admit needing help in anything Potter," Draco told Harry. "But in this case, I think you're the only one I can trust."

Harry raised an eyebrow and motioned to Draco to continue. Both boys completely ignored the others in their little group. Draco sighed once more and continued, "The Dark Lord wants me to take the mark."

"And you don't" Harry said doubtfully. "Forgive me if I don't believe you…but I don't believe you."

Draco nodded his agreement. "If I were you Potter, I wouldn't trust me either. But if it would prove my honesty I will give you a Wizard's Oath that I am telling the truth," he said.

Behind Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny gapped at Malfoy. They all knew that a Wizard's Oath was unbreakable. And if the wizard who made the oath, broke it, then they would become a squib. Malfoy was willing to lose his magic just to prove to them that he was trustworthy. This was big…no strike that…this was huge.

Harry ran a hand through his hair and looked at Draco a moment, as if he were assessing Draco for the first time. After a few moments, Harry sighed. "Look Draco," the Scoobies and the rest of the Gryffindor's finest all dropped their jaws, "Let me talk to Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and a few others before we agree on anything. I will floo call you later this afternoon all right."

Draco nodded, and felt as if the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders. "All right. The floo address is Malfoy Manor, Draco's Room," he turned to go but looked back at Harry, "Thanks Potter."

As Draco left, Harry turned and looked back at his family and friends, who were stilt standing in shock. That was probably the weirdest conversation he had ever had with Malfoy. Most of the time it was only snide remarks, fighting, and the like. They had never really ever had a civil conversation.

The group stood there for a few moments processing what had just happened when as Harry was about to speak, all hell broke loose.
