Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the new direction that this story is taking.
Ok Leeannpitbull the story that I promised you has been posted and although it's not my best work I hope that you'll like it better than I do and that it somewhat fits what you asked for the title of the story is In The End.
Also thank-you Karone-Sakura for writing the new conversation at the end of the chapter.
Last Chapter
When Albus finally let up the curse he was satisfied that young Mr Weasley had come to his senses and would try to win back Harry. If he didn't the consequences would be dire.
Ron meanwhile had scampered to his feet and ran from the room to Gryffindor tower where he had a whole heap of pain potions waiting for him as well as a comfy bed.
Tomorrow would be a trying day for the Hogwarts population, but for now they all slept blissfully unaware that of what was just around the corner.
This Chapter
When Ronald woke up the next morning he was unsurprisingly still in a world of pain, that not even the best brewed pain relieving potions could help to alleviate. Therefore, it was also no surprise that he was in one of the foulest moods he'd ever had and blaming everything on his ex-friend Harry Potter. Things were made worse by the fact that he had woken up late and therefore had to rush through his shower, not that that was too bad considering that by that time the water was freezing cold, and quickly run downstairs for his favourite meal of the day. Breakfast.
On the other side of the school two boys were enjoying a very different kind of morning. Harry and Draco had woke up with the dawn as they were want to do after having been coerced into doing so for most of the holidays, and gotten up and dressed in their training gear. The words training gear may sound like armour or padding but in reality it was a tracksuit and black Chuck Taylors with the Slytherin emblem on the side of each shoe. They quickly stretched before going outside and starting on their morning jog. Hogwarts was only half the size of Malfoy Manor and so the boys had to jog around the castle six times to get the exercise that they were used to before going back inside the castle to practice fencing, which both boys were naturals at, although Draco had a slight advantage as he had just slightly more poise and natural grace than Harry did, making it less likely that he would fall and give his opponent the advantage to strike while he was down. That being said at the end of their training that morning the match ended with a draw.
It was 7:30 by the time the boys had finished their training and each rushed back to their room and their shower, neither boy liked cold water and they wanted to take the time to luxuriate in it and the expensive shampoo and soap which they had brought from home. You see no Slytherin would be caught dead using the stuff that the school provided unless they were using the Prefects Bathroom that is and even then that was only because Lucius made sure that only the best was used in there, after all he couldn't have his son bathing in something that the Weasley's would use.
By eight both boys were in the Great Hall enjoying a breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage and a healthy serving of fruit, which anyone who knew Narcissa Malfoy nee Black would know was her influence, however it was also her who sent Harry and Draco sweets that morning with a letter to assure herself that they were alright and to inform them both that their presence would be needed at a meeting of the families in a few weeks time. At this meeting the Purebloods who were not completely loyal to one side or the other would discuss what would happen during the upcoming war against Voldemort and Dumbledore.
That wasn't the only thing the boys received that morning though. Upon having arrived at the Slytherin Table they were handed their timetables, which they were happy to see were exactly the same and a summons. A summons to see Dumbledore. Neither boy was happy with this but both new that they could not protest it and with the arrival of Pansy, Hermione, Blaise and Vincent and Gregory both boys soon forgot their troubles while reminiscing about the holidays and discussing what classes they all had. Also the arrival of the youngest male Weasel entertained them further what with him wearing a girl's uniform, bruises that suggested a fall down the stairs, wet hair and he was swearing up a storm while trying to eat his breakfast. It was also amusing to see how all the other Gryffindors' were avoiding sitting anywhere near him. However, breakfast had to end at some point and with it so did their reprieve.
Dumbledore's Office
40 minutes later Harry and Draco were sitting in the Headmasters office feeling extremely pissed off. You see Dumblefuck hadn't given them the password to his office and they had been forced to stand around looking like idiots for half an hour waiting for him to show up so they could get this meeting over and done with. He was so lucky that they had the first two periods free for study and so weren't missing out on anything important. It still irked though, to have their time alone together cut short, especially by the meddling old fool, if it had been someone like Severus they wouldn't have minded so much.
"Harry, Draco, I'm sure you both know why
I've called you here this morning. Your behaviour last night was
inexcusable and I want both of you to
go apologise to Miss Weasley
this instant." Both glared angrily at the wall above
Dumbledore's head, not daring to look in his eyes. Nor did they want
to
give him the satisfaction of giving a response.
"Now
Draco I know that the Malfoys and Weasleys don't get along but that
was no excuse for treating her as you did and you Harry. All I can
say is that
I'm extremely disappointed in you, the Weasleys took
you into their home and treated you like family when they didn't
have to and this is how you repay
them?" Here Dumbledore
shook his head to show his disapproval. "Well I won't have it,
you will apologise to Miss Weasley this instant or I swear you
won't
like what I come up with."
Harry finally fed up
with Dumbledore, stood up and advanced right up into Dumbledore's
face and said one simple thing "No. I'd like to see you make
me."
He then turned to leave, with Draco at his heels.
"I didn't want to do this Harry. I really didn't. However I'm afraid that if you don't do as I say then I swear that I'll have you sent back to those muggles and I think we both know you don't want that. Perhaps next time I'll get them to do more than rape you!"
A/N: okay I know this is short but to tell the truth once I got to this point in the story I couldn't really think of what to write next and I thought that that made a good point to end the chapter at so there it is. That plus I thought that better I post it now and you get some form of update than not get any for three to six months or even a year as has been known to happen with me. Also please review as your opinion greatly influences what I put in this story.
