Lily Black
Chapter 6
Letting the boys walk behind her slightly, so they could talk, or at least become familiar with each other, Lily concentrated on where she was going. The rooms were on the second floor – or at least the guardian was. Finally they arrived at the tapestry. The tapestry was primitively decorated, not dissimilar from the work of Aboriginals of Australia, considering Araianne could time hop it wasn't surprising. Taking out her wand she tapped the tapestry seven times, and said the password, so the boys but no one else could hear.
"Fire of flame, water of river, growth of the earth and air from the wind, I ask you grant us three passage." The kangaroo image on the tapestry turned it's head, nodded and lifted itself, revealing an open oak door, in which the three people entered.
Lily and the two students looked around. The common room was tastefully decorated with royal blue walls, lined with black roses and the furniture was purple to match as well as two desks with beautiful angel carvings. A mantelpiece stood above the fireplace with the house's symbol above it. On closer inspection, Draco found a two pieces of parchment, which he read aloud.
Dear Housemates of Araianne,
This letter contains instructions of this house.
It was decided between the Founders and I that in times of dire need that this house would come of use, the cause was a prophecy Rowena Ravenclaw made shortly after the birth of her only daughter Gabriella Ravenclaw.
Upon the fifth thousandth year of Hogwarts,
Two warriors strong and true will shine,
One of courage and loyalty,
The other of cunning and mind,
Former enemies during the Dark One's path,
They must band together,
To reach their goal,
With the help of a mentor of blood and heart,
But only by uniting the Hogwarts four.
Rowena was never one for poetry and the like, or for cryptic prophecies either. I hope, otherwise I think we screwed it royally if it has hidden meaning!
Anyway, you two will have a 'mentor' of sorts and fight together, whatever! However, remember this, you're probably still kids, unless they are suddenly allowing middle-aged adults into Hogwarts, which I doubt so enjoy yourself!
You can change the colours of your common room by saying together, Common room change colour, and it will become a mix of both your imaginings. You private quarters are the same, just follow the stairs and two doors will have your names on. Password to be changed by standing in the common room and saying password change and then stating the new password which can only be changed once a month and only when you are both in the room and private doors are not passworded, but the bathrooms and bedrooms are.
Enjoy!
In terms of house points, having over 700 others in four other houses in quite unfair, so we have made a plan. Basically, what will happen is Hogwarts will basically place a new spell in your mind, based on achievement. Transfigure a needle into a drawing pin, you get simple spell, charm the giant squid to fly you get a lovely complicated spell you have to work on for weeks.
On second thoughts, touch my squid and I'll find a way to make you pay. Just kidding, that squid was Godric's, so do whatever, just do me a favour and get rid of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, not even Salazar could get it to go away and it scared me. Bastard probably did it on purpose.
Anyway, off track. Quidditch team, GO FOR IT! And seeing as you obviously don't have enough players, take the other teams cast offs, you'll probably find SOMEONE good. Also, once they are on your team, the only way to get off is for them to WILLINGLY leave or to be kicked. They're respective house will not be allowed to force them back, not that they would be able to anyway. Hogwarts will make sure of that!
Now, if a student gets kicked out of their house (it can happen!) for what they believe in, then feel free to take them in. If they are untrustworthy, they will be unable to enter the tower.
Ummmm, I think I covered, oh wait! House point deduction – teachers obviously can't – so they'll probably have to give you either a detention, or Hogwarts House-elves won't give you desert. Juvenile I know, blame Godric. Just do me a favour – be good! Also, if the detention is unfair, then Hogwarts will let your Head of House know, as well as the other Head's, including the Headmaster.
Now I think I'm done! Find attached a letter for ye old Headmaster. Just send it to him, only items about House points, quidditch team etc, nothing personal.
Be careful!

P.s. Enjoy yourselves!
When Draco was done, his face was slightly flushed and everyone was seated in the plush armchairs. Each person digested the contents of the letter, which was now being passed around. Afterwards, Lily bade the boys' goodnight and went to take the separate piece of parchment to Dumbledore.
"So, Harry…" Draco felt awkward, not really knowing this person sat opposite him. Harry stared at him with confused eyes. The back of Draco's neck flushed. He was truly nervous, unsure of how to treat this boy, whom he had admired when under the Imperius. He could feel Harry lightly touch his occulmency shields and he gasped lightly and let him in without hesitation. Harry saw everything; from witnessing his birth mother leave him when he was three, His real father's death at the hands of Lucius when he was five, from the orphanage until he was six, his adoption to his father's killer, being placed under the Imperius, having his appearance permanently changed and the severe punishments that never left a mark, except on his soul. In moments Harry got up and held the sobbing boy, comforting the boy whose past was similar to his own.
No one would manipulate or hurt either, not while the other was around.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have been busy with revision, coursework and homework. As it is I should be doing my music homework and revising for my mocks. Anyway, should I have some slashi goodiness between the boys?
