Disclaimer: Don't own it…I own my characters and that's about it… (Trips and falls on face) Damnit that hurt.

A/N: um…I would like it if you elaborated on what you liked and didn't like in the fic. That way I might be able to fit it into the fic. If you have ideas, I would really like to hear them…my muse likes to torture me…especially if I've been a bitch, which I have been. Please forgive me, perty please.

"Why me? Why does it always have to fucking be me?"

"My, my Harry Potter is actually acting somewhat like a Slytherin" Draco said looking at his new dorm mate, who was lying on his bed. Draco glanced at the room, which had once belonged only to him. Two beds were sitting on opposite sides of the room. There were two ebony desks in between the four poster beds and two cabinets were against the far wall. A door to the right led to a bathroom with black tile, a shower stall and a tub much like the one in the prefects bathroom, except smaller. Draco looked at the smaller boy. Why am I feeling sympathy for this asshole? Then again he is Athena's brother. Ah fuck it.

"Potter I'm only asking this because your sister is my betrothed. What in the bloody underworld is wrong with you?" Harry glared at the blonde who apparently was trying to butter him up.

"Why the hell should I tell you?" Draco sighed, and collapsed on his bed. He picked at the dark green comforter that covered it.

"Because if my father finds that you and I are not getting…along…he might try to find an…unusual way to get us to do some of that…brotherly bonding." Harry looked at Draco as if he had just proclaimed his undying love for muggle toasters.

"Fine. My damned muggle relatives are coming." Draco heard the hurt in his voice when he talked about his relatives.

"Did they hurt you or something?" Draco saw Harry flinch. "They did, didn't they?"

"So what? I've already left their filthy house anyway." Draco looked at the brunette.

"Now that you are in Slytherin, you are under our code." Harry sat up abruptly, and glared suspiciously at his room mate.

"What the hell is the code?" Draco shook his head.

"The code is basically what the majority of Slytherins abide by. It says that we protect our own. We won't let anyone hurt you." Draco said softly. "Though I doubt that your sister would even let those damned muggles near you." Harry grimaced and looked back at the gothic architecture that was the setting of the room.

"You don't have to do that. I can use magic on school grounds. If Vernon even tries to attack me I can defend myself." Draco looked at Harry with a new found respect. So the boy who lived would willingly attack muggles to defend himself huh. I wonder if I could convert him. Father would be proud. I now have my mission for the year.

"I wonder how Athena is taking all of this."

Tears rolled down Athena's face like drops of blood from a fresh wound. They can't be coming, they just can't. I just got away from them. A pair of strong arms found their way around Athena's shoulders.

"Draco," she whispered.

"You don't need to worry. I won't let them hurt you, neither will your brother or grandfather for that matter." Athena turned and buried her head into Draco's chest.

"I don't want them to come." Draco held her tight. No wonder her head hit the table when parent's week was announced.

"The Tedoro's won't get you. It just won't happen." Draco sighed and petted Athena's hair, "Maria and Angela will go into mother's care, while father is taking care of Augustine and Lorenzo. They will not be having a very happy time here." A dark look flittered across his face. They will pay.

"Students please report to great hall at once." The great hall was filled with parents doting on their children, parents berating their son or daughter. Harry noticed that Remus was speaking to his son about the latest discovery on were-creatures. He saw Sirius's wife scolding Rian and Amanda about getting a weeks detention over calling their DADA teacher Señor Squishy. He noted his aunt and uncle sitting in a corner glaring at everything magical.

"Boy," Vernon said acknowledging his nephew.

"How is my future daughter in law today?" Lucius asked Athena, who was looking very nervous. She looked up at him and gave a weak smile.

"I'm fine." Lucius glanced at his son asking a silent question.

"Tell the truth." Athena sighed. She really didn't want to tell him that Lorenzo, her step-brother, had forced himself upon her or that when she told her adoptive father, Augustine, he had merely declared that it was normal for a boy his age to look for different experiences. Her adoptive mother, Maria, and her step-sister, Angela had ignored the whole event. She never told anyone else about it, even when Augustine had decided to join his son in his nightly molesting. A hand landed on her shoulder. Athena almost screamed when she saw the insignia on the ring.

"Hello Lucius. How is business?" Augustine said while tightening his hand on her shoulder. Lucius kept his face calm, while noting that Athena looked terrified.

"Quite well. I must say that Athena looks more beautiful than before." Augustine smiled at the comment.

"I dare say that we should talk in a more private environment." Lucius' face darkened, but quickly returned to its usual neutral expression.

"Shall we?" The two men walked out of the hall. Augustine gestured for his son to follow. Narcissa put her hand on Athena's shoulder and gently squeezed, letting her know everything would fine. Athena smiled weakly at her. Maria sniffed and Athena sighed.

"I'll show you to our common room."

Harry found himself in a deserted hall alone with his aunt and uncle. He felt a fat hand land on his shoulder. A crack could be heard through the hall as Harry hit a wall. He realized his collar bone was broken.

"I'm not taking this anymore." Harry raised his wand and without hesitation he bellowed the curse.

"Malum Orexis!" (evil desire) Petunia tried to scream but found that nothing came out of her long neck. Cuts appeared all over their bodies. Harry smiled in satisfaction. Now you will know how I felt all of those years.

"Well if I didn't know better, I'd say that was a very dangerous curse, especially for the-boy-who-lived to be casting." Lucius said with a glint in his eyes. Shit. How the hell did he find me? Harry backed up into a wall.

"What are you going to do to me?" Lucius smiled like he had with Athena. His eyes softened a bit. What the Hell?

"Come with me before you get caught." Harry was taken aback, but nodded. Where is he taking me? Harry almost fell when he heard a scream from behind him.

"Lucius, why might you have Mr. Potter with you?" Lucius smiled at his comrade.

"I was merely giving Harry a lecture about proper wizarding etiquette and dealing with wizarding betrothals." Snape looked at Harry, who averted his eyes.

"Alright, make sure he knows about dealing with shock." Snape said, while eyeing Harry.

"Of course, Severus. We'd best be going." Lucius pulled Snape aside and whispered something in his ear. Snape's eyes widened as he listened to Lucius' words.

"Potter give me your wand." Harry was wary about giving his wand to his most hated teacher, especially with a known death eater within hexing distance. Before Harry could react, he found himself without a wand.

"Let's go Mr. Potter." Harry nodded and followed the dark man to the dungeons.

"Where did you learn that spell Mr. Potter?" Harry sighed, realizing that he was not going to get out of this as easily as he had hoped.

"I bought some dark arts book over the summer. I figured that I should fight with both, because only fighting with one can inhibit you." Snape looked at Harry thoughtfully.

"What would it take to get you to join the Dark Lord?" Harry was taken aback by the question.

"I don't know" He answered honestly. Snape smirked.

"You're coming with us." He said and dragged Harry to a portkey he had sitting on his desk.

A/N: What do you think? I start college this week, so updates might be a little more sporadic. I really need a beta. Ideas are always welcome. Sorry for taking so long to update. A) The computer decided to erase the entire chapter and I had to retype it B) my mind decided to go (blows raspberry) and fly off with the bats. Review and you'll get pocky! I especially expect detailed reviews from Deidra and Vandet...
