*Draco POV*

"Draco, darling, we need to talk," I'm scared now, mother sounds worried. You see, she was pretty much the only one to care for me these past 17 years of my life. I could never get father to seem to like me.

"Yes mother? I'm all ears," she takes a deep breath,

"Draco, my son, I know this may come as a shock to you, but your father is not as devoted to the Dark Lord as it would seem." Mother explains.

"I had to act like I did to save all of our lives. The Potters were in the same position I was in, James could have lived if he became a Death Eater. You and Harry would have been friends – brothers even- and he would have a little sister if the Dark Lord didn't decide to kill them. Lily was smart, even if she was a muggle born. James and I grew up together." Father explains.

I honestly don't know what to think. I'm practically stunned into silence. My mouth opens and closes as I try to form a coherent thought. I just can't wrap my mind around the possibility that Potter and I could have been like brothers.

"So, you're saying that Pot-Harry and I would have been like brothers if the Dark Lord didn't kill his family?" I'm confused

"Yes," my parents chorus together. They show me pictures of Father and James Potter laughing with ex-Professor Lupin, Uncle Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew.

This brings another thought to my mind,

"So, you respect Lily Potter, right?" my parents nod, "So, if I just so happen to respect a muggle born at school - that I've treated badly for years thinking it was the right thing to do – would you be upset if I tried to make amends, and possibly start to court her?" My parents both shake their heads with smiles on their faces.

I decide that I need to owl Potter, and try to make amends. Maybe I'll owl Gra- the girl I li- respect to do the same thing. I tell my parents so, and as I leave the room I think I hear father mention Granger. I sincerely hope that this doesn't go too badly.

I sit down at my desk and try to think of something to write. I'll write Potter first, but what should I tell him? I don't think I can tell him about father being friends with his father yet. I'll wait until we possibly become friends. I'll tell him that my horrible attitude was all an act, I'll also tell him why I was the way I was. I could as for acquaintanceship if he possibly finds it in him to forgive me. I think I'll tell Granger the same.

Wait. Where did that come from? Heck, why am I even denying it? I like Granger, and I have since she slapped me in third year. That took guts, and I have respected her since then. Can a guy hate a girl that is as passionately opinionated as she is? She would to excellent in pureblood society, if it even exists as I know it to.
