-Harry/Draco will not happen in this story! Not to say that I don't like it, it is just that so much of that pairing is already written...if you get my drift. Tonks is the closest relative to Draco's age. If my cousin (when he grows up) went out with my best friend, I'll be pissed. He is just being overprotective (understandable since Harry is known to be manipulative). If anyone of you thought Harry and Tonks would get together, um, write a story about it. TonksXHarry is one of the pairings I can stand.

-Someone complained about the logic in the beginning of the story. Explanation: this magical quill (cause heaven forbid the wizards do anything for themselves) writes down all the names. However, the quill cannot put down someone who happens to be in another country. It also doesn't tell if names are changed or if the ages are different. It justs writes down the magical name when it is aware of it. Remember, the wizarding world doesn't have computers or logic.

A Telling Party

"So you wanted to tell us something?" Draco asked. His mood...wasn't the best. He was still pissed after James dating a family member. Who knew he was so protective? It was cute in a way. He was only here because he wanted the secret told.

"What's with you Dray?" Ron asked.

"Stupid guy dated my cousin." Draco mumbled.

"You got a date? With who?" Ginny asked. "Tell me Crim, tell me!"

"You need to get to know some girls your age if you are trying to gossip about my love life, little Gin-Gin." James said.

Ginny scowled. "That's what I get about caring about you. Besides, I have Luna..." Draco just stared at her, "fine, she doesn't feel anything about boys. Still the rest of the girls in Gryffindor bring a new meaning about gossip. You should hear what they say. Makes me sick."

"Gin has a point." Ron said. "About Gryffindor and the whole dating thing."

"Ron! How could you turn on me!" James gasped in fake anger.

"Stop acting like the twins!" Ginny and Ron said together.

"Okay, fine. I went out with Nymphadora Tonks. There is going to be no second date." James looked depressed. Draco looked elated.

"It was that bad, wasn't it?" Ginny came over to comfort him.

"Nah, Tonks was in love with a gay guy. I told her to send Nev to check the field before she asks anyone. He has great gaydar!" James smiled.

"Nev...who would have guessed?" Ginny asked. "So tell us!"

"I'm Harry Potter." James said with a straight face.

Suddenly, everyone was on the ground laughing. "Good one Crim." Ron laughed.

"Original." Draco chuckled. Ginny was laughing so hard she couldn't speak.

"I'm serious." Everyone kept laughing. James wiped off the makeup on his scar and changed his hair back to normal. "See?"

Draco fainted. Ron was white with shock. "Come on guys, don't be wimps!" Ginny said as she poked her brother and Draco in the side. "I really don't understand why they acted that way. No wonder they get along so well, they are the most dramatic boys I have ever met! I don't know about them, but I wouldn't start treating you different. You are still the crazy one with the hidden good side." Ginny smiled. Draco was beginning to wake, and Ron was beginning to come back into this world. "Looks like they are coming to. So what do you think of Crim?"

"Uncle Sev said you would be different!" Draco blurted out. "Arrogant...just like your father, cruel to Slytherins, but you aren't that at all!"

"Well, obviously I wasn't raised by my father, so why would I be like him? If anything, I resemble my Aunt with my constant need for order and her general perfectionism." James shrugged. "Ron, anything to say?"

"Same thing as Gin. I won't tell anyone!" Ron sweared.

"I know you won't, even unintentionally. I got the twins to teach you how to protect your mind over summer break." James grinned.

Ron's eyes widened. "So that is why they were teaching us mediation. I thought they said it was for better spell control."

"It does have that side-effect. Uncle Sev taught me it before I came to Hogwarts. He was concerned about Dumbledore." Draco said. Ron looked at him blankly. "Dumbledore can read minds." Draco said slowly.

"Oh, I feel dumb." Ron sighed. "So who else knows?"

"Let's see...Sirius, maybe Remus if Sirius told him, Nev, the twins, and Luna." James answered.

"Of course." Draco said.

"You sounded exactly like Sirius." James said.

Draco chose to ignore that comment. "Where is that father of yours?" Draco also liked to use formal titles, such as father. Sirius was technically his father, so Draco chose to address him as that. "He usually gets into an argument about me coming over." Horrible memories. To say that Draco and Sirius didn't get along was an understatement. The two absolutely hated each other. Everywhere they went, fur went flying, and he meant that literally. Somehow, a cat got thrown. Since then, James tried to keep them apart, just to protect the innocent, cute little kitties. They did nothing.

"I made sure he wasn't here. Speaking of which, you guys need to be heading home." James said.

"You are right, we do need to get home." Ginny said.

"Mum is making my favorite meal tonight." Ron smiled.

"What are you talking about? You'll get anything! How could you have a favorite?" Ginny asked.

"I'm a teenage, growing boy. We are always obsessed with food." Ron answered. James and Draco nodded. "Food!" Ron then grabbed some floo powder and proceeded to go home, quickly followed by his little sister. Draco was staying put.

"Dray, why aren't you leaving?" James asked.

"I need to talk to you. You know, Uncle Sev needs to know eventually right?" Draco asked.

"I know, but I think it would ruin everything. He is one of my favorite teachers and I am afraid to ruin it." James sighed.

"I'll try to get him more open to it. I wasn't just placed in Slytherin because my whole family was there." Draco said.

"Really?" James looked shocked.

Draco hit him over the head with a pillow. "Don't even think about comparing me to that cousin of mine. I'm going!" With that, Draco stormed off into the distance to where the fireplace was. Well, at least Draco was back to his usual mad mode, and was speaking to him again.

"Dray really needs to open up more." James said to himself.

Then Sirius came in. "What's been going on?"

"Nothing much." James angelically smiled.
