Tobias : Hmm haven't seen you in awhile..
Wulfric : I have school what do you expect?
Tobias : I dunno. It appears you can't be lazy anymore..
Wulfric : I never was as lazy as you attempted to make me out to be!
Tobias : Sure.. if you weren't so lazy you'd have your own story.. not a fanfic ..
(Wulfric punches Tobias between the eyes)
The morning of November 21st dawned brisk and clear. First match of the quidditch season, Gryffindor versus Slytherin was to take place. Harry had his team eat breakfast together and then he rounded them all up and headed to the pitch early. Earlier in the week, most of the Slytherins had taken to attacking the Gryffindor team. The Gryffindors all had it in their heads that Malfoy was behind all of this, but from everything Harry saw Malfoy had nothing to do with it. He wasn't even hexing anyone, just remaining quiet in the back.
Harry gathered his team in the locker rooms and made an attempt at a speech. "Okay folks, this is it. First match of the season and of course we're playing Slytherin. I want you all to have your wands on you just incase something happens, since they'll play dirty and we know that. Now, guys don't just hex them for anything minor, only do it if it's a need be situtation. Another thing, nobody hex Malfoy."
Ron was about to explode with something when Harry interrupted him, " I repeat. Do. Not. Hex. Malfoy. I don't think he'll be doing anything of the sort, and if he does, I shall take care of him. Got it?"
After a nod of heads, the sound of a horn was heard. " Okay guys, lets head out there and win this match."
Lining up on the field, Harry and Malfoy shook hands and mounted their brooms. At Madame Hooch's whistle they took off, and the game began.
"Weasley takes the quaffle, she passes it to Bell who passes it back, and Weasley scores! 10 - 0 Gryffindor!" came the voice of Dean who was commentator this year.
Harry was at the top of the stadium, watching for the snitch when Malfoy came up. "Hey Potter, good day for quidditch?"
Harry was shocked at his friendly nature and he didn't want to mess anything that could happen up. " Of course, perfect conditions."
The two had a slightly broken conversation in the air while snitch searching. Down below, the game had gotten quite dirty seeing as the Slytherin beaters were sending to bludgers at Ron one after the other. Ginny was having problems as a young Slytherin chaser was trying to take her broom out from underneath her. When the score was 120 - 30 for Gryffindor, the Slytherins started hexing the players.
" I told them to play a fair game, what the hell -- " Malfoy started as Harry dove straight down. He clasped his fingers around the snitch, and pulled up victorious.
" GRYFFINDOR WINS! "
Both teams landed on the pitch, with the Slytherins complaining about something or another. To the entire stadium's surprise, Malfoy walked over to Harry and extended his hand saying, " Good game Po-- Harry. Spectaciular dive if I do say so myself." Shocking the student body even more, Harry shook hands with Malfoy.
"Thank you Draco, and it was as well played game from you as well."
At this point Ron was drawn out of his shock as he began ranting. " What the bloody hell! That damn Death Eater is just trying to become friends with the ALMIGHTY Boy-Who-Lived . This is udder bullshit!"
Harry saw the look on Draco's face and he turned and simply said, "Stupefy" Ron got a look of hate on his face as Harry's stunning spell hit him in the chest. After Harry stunned Ron, the remaining members of the Slytherin team attacked the Gryffindors. Both Harry and Draco stunned their teams to stop a huge fight from erupting. At this point the teachers from the stands had made their way onto the pitch.
"Mr. Malfoy, Mr.Potter, well done in restraining your teams. I award you both fifty points, while sadly your teams will be serving two weeks detention with Filch and Professor Snape, " the voice of the Deputy Headmistress sounded. " Students, head back up to the castle."
Harry waited a moment as the student body headed out. "Hey Draco." he called. " Could you hang back a minute. I'd like to talk to you."
Malfoy nodded and joined Harry in a walk that ended up taking them to the lake. " What did you want to talk about , Harry?"
" Well, you seem different. You are not the same person I hated from the moment I met you in Diagon Alley years ago. What has happened?"
"My father. H-he has disowned me, because I refuse to take the Mark. I have seen what all that monster can do, and I do not want to be a part of it. Now, I am an outcast in the Slytherin dorms. I don't spend half my time in there anymore, for fear I'm going to be cursed."
"Draco, " Harry started. " If you will trust me, we can go up to my grandfather and he will figure out something. We can go now if you would like to."
"Alright."
"Just one more thing before we go." Harry held his hand out. "Friends?"
With a small smile much like Harry's, Draco shook his hand and stated, " Friends."
