A/N: Thank you for being patient with me, I have been having allergy issues as that people are now allowed to burn their yard debris... kinda hard to write and sneeze at the same time then it took me a while to get back to it.

As always I own nothing but the OC's

Chapter 16: Day 1 all over again

Harry was nervous. Today was the first day of school not only at a new school but at one he had helped build. "Orria, can we please just relax."

"Not while He is still plotting."

"Well, he would have to be not breathing for that to happen I'm afraid."

Orria smiled and twirled the brush in her hands "hmm."

"No," Harry swiped the brush "you will not murder anyone" he smiled at her pout and started to brush her hair.

"What if I make him mute?"

"Sign language."

"Okay, stupid"

"He's beat you to that." Harry sighed "this is going to go on all day isn't it."

Draco popped his head in the door with his eyes closed "is it safe to enter Potter?"

"Yes," Harry assured him

Draco stepped in and shut the door behind him "I can't get away from the incessant questions."

Harry smirked "what'd you expect?

"They would harass the Headmaster" he gestured towards the door behind him "Snape, not me." Draco paced nervously "What if something goes wrong?"

"Then we adapt" Harry pulled on on of his new robes and patted Draco obnoxiously on the head "there, there, it will be all right"

Draco rolled his eyes "knock it off Potter"

Oria danced over "okay let's go watch the sorting."

"This should be interesting" Draco grimaced

The three made their way down to the largest ballroom that had been staged by the castle for the event. At the front of the room was a large pot that had rainbow flames dripping out of it like fog.

One by one the students were walked up to the pot where they were asked to place one of their hands into the cold flames.

One by one they were placed into the house of the type of Magic they held strongest. Each house had an opposite or companion Magic. When two holders of companion magic were friends they were unstoppable, but if they were enemies it would be disastrous. Draco & Harry went first to demonstrate.

"Draco Malfoy..." the Castle spoke "you are Fire, your companion Magic will be Ice."

Harry stepped up next and high fived Draco on the way by. He placed his hand over the flame and Orria smiled, "let's hope this works," she thought back to the spell she had placed on the pot programming it to cleanse all that stepped up first so as to protect the Castle and the isle.

As Harry placed his hand over the flame a subtle flash could be seen on his forehead followed by a quiet crack. Orria wanted to dance and celebrate, it worked.

"Harry Potter..." the Castle spoke "you are Ice, your companion Magic is Fire."

A gentle look and nod was exchanged between Harry and Draco as Orria suddenly understood the things that had been said about those two.

The rest of the students were placed one at a time into the houses Fire & Ice, Earth & Air, Water & Energy, Lunar & Sun, and Cosmic & Nature. With each companion Magic sharing a dormitory.

Hermione was placed in Comic and Luna was placed in Nature, the two were companions quickly. Other companions were; Ginny placed in Energy, Neville placed in Water. "Makes sense," Orria thought "when water is out of alinement it forgets. Fred placed in Lunar, George place in Sun. Flutter placed in Air, Orria placed in Earth.

Some exceptions were made on the housing to accommodate bonds. The Castle had separate rooms for couples. Flutter and Neville bunked together and Orria and Harry bunked together.

When everyone was placed they headed to their rooms to settle in. Ginny and Neville were talking to themselves quietly "it looks like they are getting along good" Harry noticed Draco's nerves.

"Yeah," Draco looked at Harry trying to brush it off. "So what now Potter?" He shrugged "Am I bunking alone or what?"

"You're getting a room next to Orria and I." He smiled and easily slid into a new subject "you know Orria says that Companions in Magic never get romantic... they can't actually."

"Really?" a crooked smile crept across his face as he let his emotions show briefly then nervously he tried to hide it "uh..."

"Draco, it's good." He pushed him playfully "talk to me."

"She is Energy." He frowned "is she going to be okay after what happened at Hogwarts?"

"Not sure yet," he smiled at her "she is hurting though, she could use a romantic shoulder to cry on."

"Really Potter?" He rolled his eyes "as if she would want to be a Malfoy."

"So man up, take her name." He smiled "Draco, you are more than your parents." He pushed Draco towards her "go on, I need to go find Orria."

Draco smiled at him "you think?"

"Yes!" He laughed "go."

Draco caught up to Ginny and Neville who turned to greet him with smiles. Harry watched with a smile forming in his heart as more of Draco's walls came down and he actually laughed...
