AN: Sorry I haven't updated in such a long time… I've been busy but I promise to update atleast 2 chapters this week…
You know the drill… I do not own any of the characters… all I have is my love for anything Harry Potter (I know its sooo cheezy)
He slammed the door behind him and kick the nearest object to release his frustration before proceeding to sit in his bed
I should have known! It was stupid of me to expect some understanding from Granger. After all, my family did torture her and I did practically nothing. Draco thought, disappointment flooding his emotions. I guess I expected too much from her to cut me some slack… It was really stupid of me to hope that she would… We would…
With a heavy sigh, he stood up and walked over to get his broom. Flying always clears his mind and since the other students appear to be very busy catching up with their friends, he expected the field to be empty.
A few moments later…
Draco savored the feeling of wind rushing his face as he kicked off the ground. He had missed flying. After all that has happened to his life in the past year, he never thought he could once again feel the thrill of flying.
With his mind focused on flying, his mind slowly cleared of all the frustrations and fear that he has been feeling. He had been flying for over 10 minutes when a golden speck zoomed past him followed by a red figure…
"You know Malfoy, that's why we always beat you in quidditch games!", Harry shouted as he passed Draco
"Yeah, Ferretboy, we actually try to have fun while playing !", Ron shouted from the other end before he hit a bludger towards Harry
Draco stared in amazement as the two Gryffindor boys flew around him. Harry was speeding up while Ron continuously pelts him with what appears to be water filled balloon. He had been focusing on how amazing Harry's maneuvering skills are when he suddenly heard Ron shout at him…
"Heads up Malfoy!"
"What the –"
At before he knew it, a red blob was hurling towards him. He tilted his broom just in time and missed him by inches. He was about to retort angrily at the two boys when he saw they were laughing…without malice that is..
Are they actually laughing? He though feeling more confused at the moment.
Ron was still throwing balloons towards Harry but would occasionally throw some towards Draco. Harry rounded towards Malfoys back…
"I'll fly around to distract him, grab the basket attached to his broom", Harry said hurriedly, his face full of mischief
"What?", Draco asked surprised
"Just do it Malfoy! We are gonna get him so bad!", Harry said laughing
A few moments and dozens of water balloons later, the three boys were already soaking wet and laughing. IT was already dark and the three started walking towards the castle
"Who knows that Ferret-face here has a good aim?", Ron said laughing
"Yeah, too good I must say", agreed Harry while wringing out his robe. "But you must work on ducking you know, especially that you'd be living with Hermione"
The two boys looked at each other and started laughing again leaving a confused Draco.
"Why?", asked Draco
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough"
"Especially if you piss her off", Ron seconded
"Well, that almost is a certainty", replied Draco
"Well, see you the Ferret", said
As Draco was walking towards the Heads common room, still amazed at what had happened that afternoon. He had actually hung out with Harry and Ron.
That was weird, He thought,, Really weird! But not at all I have to admit that has been a long time since he had fun…
Meanwhile…
Hermione watched as Draco stormed out of the common room and shut the door to his dormitory. Guilt washed over her as soon as she had seen the expression on his face –
What was the matter with Malfoy? I mean, I didn't mean to get so defensive. After all, it hasn't been long since I suffered at the hands of his father and aunt. But despite her justifications, she could help but feel guilty about how she treated Draco
I bet Harry would be disappointed when he finds out. After the resolution that they had agreed on during the summer, this is how she reacts…
Flashback -
It has been exactly two months after the war has ended and the Golden Trio were in the burrow lounging around in the garden. Harry and Ron enchanted some muggle action figures to play quidditch and Hermione was laughing at Ron and Harry's teasing as Ron transfigured one of the action characters to resemble Krum.
"I cannot believe how good at transfiguration you've become Ron" said Hermione still laughing
"Well yeah, who could forget Krum's sulking face"
"Yeah, I'm just so happy to have my old wand back", said Harry their laughing died down
"You still have Malfoys wand though, don't you? What do you plan to do with it?", asked Hermione
"I haven't really decided how but I'll surely return it to him", Harry said thoughtfully
"What do you mean? Couldn't you just owl it to him?" Ron said
"Yeah, but after all what happened, I still pity him though", Harry said
"I know, I've been thinking about it since after I was tortured in their house. He seems so lost", Hermione seconded
"Yeah, not to mention the fact that you almost killed him", Ron teasing Harry
"Yeah, that too", said Harry
"It must have been hard, you know, when the people that you should be able to trust to look after you are the ones who force you to become the worst version of you", Ron said
Harry and Hermione was simply shocked at what Ron just said
"Ron, that is amazingly sensitive of you. And to think that we are talking about Malfoy here", Hermione said
"I know, I know. Don't get me wrong, he'll forever be Draco 'the amazing bouncing ferret' to me, but I am just thankful that I wasn't on his place", Ron said simply
End of Flash back -
She let out another sigh before she stood up …
I better him then and talk to him…
