Draco's POV
I shrugged and looked back at Blaise
"I dunno, maybe it's a special mutt…" I muttered pathetically, Blaise looked at me
"A special mutt?" He asked, glancing at the dog and back at me "I don't think so…he looks a little too ragged to be anything special…"
"You know…you should say that where I can't hear you." A new voice stated, I jumped slightly and turned to see none other than Sirius Black
"U…Uncle Siri?" I stuttered, Sirius blinked
"Eh? Uncle Siri?" He looked thoughtful before his expression turned to shock "Draco? Little Draco? Oi…now I feel old." He grinned at me, I blinked and smiled slowly
"You aren't that old…wait…how old are you?" I asked innocently, he blinked and perked an eyebrow,
"43." He stated slowly,
"See? No…actually…I'm not gonna lie…you are old." I grinned; he perked his eyebrow higher and let out a bark of laughter, pulling me into a bear hug
"And you haven't changed a bit!"

Harry's POV
Draco and Tonks went to get Zabini. Hermione was reading another book, and I was currently playing exploding snaps with Ron…
Ron sneezed and all the cards exploded, I ducked and sighed
"We really need a new game." I stated wearily, bending down to pick up the cards. Ron gave me a sheepish smile and tried to wipe the soot off his face. I didn't hear the portrait open as I gathered the cards
"Oi, Harry…is that anyway to greet your Godfather, sticking your arse up in the air?" I heard a familiar voice say, I fell over in shock and turned to see the grinning face of Sirius; I broke out in a grin and gave him a huge hug. Sirius let out a bark of laughter
"That's a little better." He stated, perking an eyebrow at me, I blushed and looked out the window
"Sorry…I just missed you Siri…" I muttered, smiling slightly. Sirius's smile softened and he ruffled my already messy hair
"S'ok kid, I missed you too." He admitted, I looked up at him and perked an eyebrow questioningly
"What brings you here?" I asked, he grinned
"Well…other than to make your life hell…I'm the Zabini kid's guard." He stated proudly, I blinked
"You are?" I questioned in a hopeful voice, Sirius nodded and grinned a little wider
"You boys have another dorm mate."
-------
Hermione's POV
I grinned at Harry and Sirius; it would be good for both of them…to be around each other.
Sirius had been a little reclusive since his acquittal; many people were still weary of him.
I was about to go back to my book when I noticed the portrait open, Draco, Tonks and a slightly limping Blaise walked through. Tonks looked furious.
"SIRIUS!" She screeched, walking over to the Animagus, who flinched
"Yes Nymphadora?" He asked, I felt my eyes widen in surprise, she was already mad…did he want her to completely blow up? She narrowed her eyes
"Sirius Black. Dumbledore called you here to protect Blaise…did he not?" She asked, giving him a frighteningly calm look
"Y…Yes." He stuttered, Tonks nodded
"No more leaving him without a guard then." She ordered, Sirius nodded meekly and apologized "Good boy." She flopped down on the couch next to me and sighed
I stood and walked to Blaise and Draco, who stood frozen at the entrance of the common room. I smiled at them
"Glad to see you're feeling better Blaise." I stated, Blaise smiled slightly and nodded
"Thank you Hermione." He replied, Draco blinked and looked between me and Blaise with an expression of comprehension, I blushed and looked at him
"What Draco?" I asked, he smirked for the first time in a while, but it was mainly focused on Blaise
"Nothing." He looked straight into Blaise's eyes and smirked wider "Nothing at all."
I was surprised when a faint blush crossed Blaise's cheeks, I perked an eyebrow at them and he blushed deeper. I opened my mouth to speak when Ronald interrupted.
"Oi Zabini, how about a round of chess? We can see if you really have the skills you say you do." He smirked; Blaise looked relieved and walked over to Ron. I turned to Draco, who was still smirking at the back of Blaise's head and sighed
"Seems that dreadful smirk isn't gone." I said dramatically, Draco perked an eyebrow and smiled slightly
"Not forever, no. It never will be." He replied, smiling a little wider. I laughed quietly and checked the area for eavesdroppers
"How is it going Draco?" I asked quietly, his smile flickered before disappearing all together, he looked down and sighed
"Better Hermione…"
"Good." I smiled "I'm here if you need to talk….remember that Draco."

Draco's POV
I nodded and departed, making my way up to the dorms, I was getting dirty looks from the Gryffindors and it was grating on my nerves. With a sigh I opened the seven year dorms, I noticed they squeezed another bed in the room…seems Sirius wasn't kidding about the dorm mate thing. I grabbed my book and flopped onto my bed with a heavy sigh.

After an hour of trying to read, I threw the book aside with a frustrated growl. Harry, who had come up just minutes ago, perked an eyebrow at me.
"What?" I asked, trying to keep the frustration out of my voice, he smiled slightly
"Having problems Draco?" He asked innocently, I glared
"No Harry, I'm perfectly fine." I replied sweetly, he blinked and looked at me with his piercing emerald eyes and frowned
"No you aren't." He stated carefully, I sighed and looked away. He walked over cautiously and sat on Blaise's bed. "What is it Draco?" I looked at him and sneered
"Like you really care Potter." I drawled, Harry showed no surprise at my sudden personality change
"I do care Draco."
"Why?" I asked, I inwardly grimaced, my voice sounded so weak, so…broken. Harry shifted uncomfortably.
"I…" He started, I perked an eyebrow curiously
"You?"
"I--." He started again, but this time he was cut off by Blaise coming in. Blaise smirked slightly at me, causing me to blush and look down to hide it. He then stopped in front of his bed.
"Having a nice chat mate?" He asked, perking an eyebrow at me and smirking even wider, I glared at him and he backed off. "Ok Draco, bloody hell, don't have a fit." Harry stood looking thoroughly confused and excused himself.
"Perfect timing you have Blaise…" I grumbled, he smiled innocently
"That, my dear friend, is what locking charms are for."

Author's Note: Thanks to everyone that reviewed. One of my reviewers brought it to my attention that Draco and Tonks really are cousins. I apologize. I didn't remember everything from the story. Also, the same reviewer brought it to my attention that Adromeda Tonks (Nymphadora's mother) married either a muggle or muggle born and was not accepted by her pureblood family. Therefor Blaise wouldn't have known about her because she's a half-blood.
My points dear reviewer are as follows: Blaise did not know of Tonks because Draco didn't tell him about her. And the whole thing about Tonks being Draco's 'cousin', I admit, I was wrong. But the pureblood families are so intertwined I saw an oppourtunity for humor, notice the genre is Romance/ Humor. In the chapter above, Draco refers to Sirius as his uncle, I acknowledge that Sirius is not his uncle and is his second cousin. Oh well. It's a fanfiction. Deal with it.
Ok...sorry for the rant...but that kinda ticked me off.
Review's make my heart all fuzzy!
