A/N: I am actually really surprised that so many people have read this already, I would love to see more reviews just to know what people think of this so far. Well here is another chapter for everyone. I hope you like it.

Chapter 7:

Draco was quietly sitting in some big office in this huge building that Severus told him was Hogwarts, the school he would be attending in the next couple of days. He was scared shitless. Seeing how big the school was he just knew that there was going to be way to many people for him to deal with being around. He jumped in his seat, bringing his knees up to his chest, when he heard yelling coming from behind the big wooden doors in front of him. He knew it was his father and Severus arguing with the person he was told was the Headmaster of the school. He tried listening intently, trying to drown out any other sounds around him.

"He needs to be sorted in private Old man, I don't want to put that much pressure on him to have to sit in front of all those other students." He heard his father say.

"I understand how you feel Lucius but we have never sorted anyone early or alone before, it just doesn't happen." Draco heard a loud bang, making him jump once again.

"Bring your son in, I would like to finally meet him." Draco looked up as the big doors opened, showing his fathers rather red face.

"Draco, please come in. The Headmaster would like to meet you now." Nodding his head Draco stood and followed his father into the room. He quickly took a seat next to Severus, trying to hide his face from the older man behind the desk.

"Well hello there. You must be young mister Malfoy. I'm Headmaster Dumbledore, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." Draco looked up into the eyes of the Headmaster, not really liking the twinkling he saw in them. He nodded his hello and buried his head once again.

"See Dumbledore, the boy won't even look at you with out hiding, how do you expect him to get up in front of all the dunderheads in this school and be sorted?" Severus asked.

"Severus, every first year student is afraid when they are sorted, not knowing what to expect. I know Draco has been through a lot in his young life but I think this will be good for him."

"FINE, but I swear if this hinders any progress we have made with my son I will not be happy Old man. Let's get out of here." Lucius said, gently grabbing his sons arm and walking out of the office.

"Severus please wait." Severus nodded and sat back down. When the Malfoy men left he turned back to Dumbledore waiting for him to speak.

"What has happened to that young man Severus." Dumbledore asked with concern in his voice.

"That is not for me to tell. He has been to hell and back and I am thankful I had found him when I did." Severus stated, upset Dumbledore was trying to pry into Draco's life.

"I hope you can keep an eye out for him when he is here. I do not like the idea of having a student start so late in his career here, and without having any magic until this point, but I also know that if he is not allowed in Lucius will put up a fight and have it smeared all over the papers. Please keep a watchful eye for the young man Severus." Severus felt him self getting rather angry, not believing that the man in front of him would even think about denying a young wizard his education.

"Yes I will be watching out for him. Now if you don't mind I will be leaving." Severus didn't wait for a response before he left.

When Severus finally made it back to his house he was not happy when he heard crying coming from within. He stepped into the living room and saw Draco shuddering in the corner with a letter gripped in his hands, and Lucius shacking his head on the couch.

"What has happened here?" Severus asked walking over to Draco, trying to grab the letter. Draco gripped it harder and pulled it to his chest.

"He received an Owl from Potter and hasn't moved from that spot since reading it." Lucius stated.

"Draco, can I please see what he wrote, I would like to know why you are so upset." Draco looked up from his arms and slowly handed the letter to the man. Severus' grip on the paper tightened as he read.

Draco,

I am sorry for the way my friends acted in the ally, I hope that you were not effected by it to much. I am so sorry that I kept you from your family once I found out who you were, but I thought it was for the best.

I knew, know who your father is and everything he has done and I thought anything was better then having you with him. I know we will see each other around the school, but if you are not sorted into Gryffindor I think it would be best for you if we didn't see each other.

Everyone knows your father, and with the position I am in, it's for the best. I am sorry if that is what happens, just remember I will always love you.

Harry.

"That insolent brat, what did he think he was doing when he wrote this. If he wasn't a student I could just kill him." Severus spat when he was done.

"I think I may just do it myself." Lucius said after reading over Severus' shoulder.

"NO. NONONONO." both men jumped and stared at Draco yelling at them.

"I….I'll stay… away from him. Just…. Just don't hurt him… Ple..please." Draco had tears streaming down his face thinking these men were going to hurt Harry. Severus quickly wrapped him in his arms, rocking him.

"We won't hurt him Draco. We promise. I just wish you never read this letter."

"He…. He hates me… because of you." He said looking at Lucius. Lucius tried to put his arm around his son, just to be pushed away.

"No.. Why does he hate me because of you?" Lucius took a deep breath before he started speaking with his son.

"Since I was a student up until last year I was a follower of a very dark Wizard who killed Harry's parents and continued to try and kill him. I became a spy years ago but Harry never knew that until this wizard was killed. There are still many that do not believe I turned against this man and still think I am dark. I…I tried to kill Harry a couple of times before I became a spy, I regret it now Draco, I really do." Lucius tried once again to put his arm around his son, but to no avail. The boy ripped himself from Severus and ran to the stairs.

"I don't want to be a…..a Mal…Malfoy. I wish…I wish I never found out who I am." He ran up the stairs after yelling at the stunned men in the living room.

Draco didn't come down from his room until the morning he was to leave for school. He was petrified of what Lucius would say to him, along with the thoughts of having to ride a train with no one he knew and having to be sorted in front of a room full of strange people.

He sat at the kitchen table, eating his food in silence while the two men watched him. He was feeling awfully self conscious with them staring and pushed his food away.

"WHAT?" he yelled, snapping the men out of their thoughts.

"I am sorry about everything Draco. I hope in time you will forgive me for what my past includes. I love you my son and am so happy to finally have you back in my life. Once you get to school there will be a therapist that you can talk to if you so wish, or you can talk to Severus at any point."

"No, No talking to anyone. Can we just leave now." Draco asked as he got up and grabbed his cloak, throwing it on and waiting for the men to move.
