Chapter 3

He Could be My Friend

James sighed. "Alright. I'm going to have to ask you if you're a runaway or not, if you are then I will have to contact the police."

"Who? I'm not a run away. I really don't remember, I-I promise ill try but I didn't mean to get in trouble." The boys lip quivered.

"Your not going to get into trouble son." Sirius said. "We just want to be able to find your family so you can go back home. The police will be able to help you."

The boy looked confused. "But what are police?"

James and Sirius looked at each other, silently communicating. James slowly looked back to the small boy unsure of whether he should mention aurors to him. What if he is a muggle, ill get in trouble and we would have to obliviate him and if he is having memory problems then he may never get better. But what if it was a memory charm that did this.

While James was thinking Harry stepped forward. "Don't worry," He said in a fake whisper. "They are bluffing, they would just fire call the aurors."

"Harry James Potter!" Sirius shouted.

"Wait please don't! I promise I'm telling the truth! Please don't call the aurors!" The boy shouted near tears.

Everyone else went silent, except Harry who turned to Sirius with a smug smile and said "Told ya' so!" And stuck out his tongue.

James ignored them (Sirius had stuck his tongue back out and now they were having a contest to see who could stick it out the farthest.) and frowned at the boy. "So your saying you know what aurors are?" He nodded afraid to say something wrong again. James sighed. "Okay, Harry? Take him upstairs and let him shower and clean up. He looks about your size so give him some clean cloths. Come straight back down when your done do you hear me? I need to give a few people a call." And with that James left the room fallowed by Sirius.

Harry turned to the boy with a bright smile. "I knew it! I knew you had magic, I could tell." Harry stuffed his chest out proudly. The boy smiled then yawned. "Oh!" Harry reached over and grabbed the pepper up potion. "You can take this, we don't want you to fall asleep again in the middle of the day." Looking at the clock on the wall it was already 11 am. "Come on lets get you cleaned up!"

Harry grabbed the boys hand and pulled him upstairs to his bathroom. "Now you get in the shower. The towels are in the cabinet there," he pointed to a small linen closet. "And ill go get some clean stuff for you, just toss those in the hamper and they will be washed."

Harry closed the door behind him and waited with his ear to the door. He heard the shower turn on and he smiled skipping off to his room to grab some cloths for him. He opened his dresser to find some clean ones. He didn't want to give his new friend dirty sweaty cloths. And then he stopped. He had a friend, before he went to Hogwarts! Oh how he hopped he would go there as well and be in his same house and same dorm! OH! He wondered if his dads would let him stay the night until school started! It would be so much fun!

Hurrying back to the bath room the knocked twice.

"Come in!"

Harry closed his eyes and opened the door. "Here's some cloths for you!" Dropping the cloths on the counter Harry quickly stepped out and ran downstairs to find his dad and Siri. He had so many questions!

******

Sirius and James hurried into James den.

"James he is probably a spy." Sirius said once they were alone. "We cant risk having him here, what if he is after Harry. Did you see how he was looking at him?"

"Ill fire call some people." kneeling down he tossed some floo powder into the fireplace and said "Kingsley Shacklebolt!" watching his love stick his head into the green flames he waited. A few minutes later James retreated from the fire and out stepped Kingsley and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and with a twinkle in his eye he said "Where is the boy?"

"Taking a shower. He was filthy, looked like he had been strapped to the end of a horse and drug in the mud."

"How exactly did he get in through the wards?" Kingsley asked.

"Someone made a door. Someone powerful enough. . . Or desperate enough." Sirius said.

"He's a wizard?" Dumbledore asked. "If he is around Harry's age then he should be listed at one of the schools as a first year. What's his name?"

James looked at Sirius. "See that's what we don't get. He doesn't remember. He knows he is a wizard but he doesn't remember his name or where he came from or how he got in the wards. Now if he is a spy the question is why would they send someone with memory loss? He's not under impirio, he wouldn't be able to make it through at all if that were the case."

"Pollyjuice?" Kingsley asked.

Sirius shook his head. "No its been to long. He would have changed back by now."

"Now boys, why don't we just wait for the boy to come back down and we can question him. But until we find out who he is he will need a place to stay." Dumbledore said with a twinkle.

Everyone was quiet, but when Sirius noticed Dumbledore was looking at them he piped up. "Hell no! Don't you dare think we are going to keep someone who may be a threat to us! And not only that but if he is working with the death eaters you want to keep him right next to Harry?" Sirius shouted.

James placed a hand on Sirius arm and dragged him to the other side of the den. "Sirius, think about this for a minute. If he is a spy h obviously does not remember. Something happened to him to make him forget. We could have a inside look and finally find out what the death eaters are up to. And honestly if he was after Harry I would much rather him be here under our roof where I can watch him 24/7."

Sirius look torn but nodded and headed back to the other side of the Den. "He can stay we will question him as much as possible."

"Excellent!" Dumbledore said. "You'll let me know when you find out who he is?"

"Yes."

At that time Harry ran into the room. "Dad!! Can he stay the night?!? Please I want my friend to stay till Hogwarts! Please?!?" He tugged on his dads arm. Then noticing Dumbledore he said "Hey professor! The boy is he a student at Hogwarts?"

And at that moment a little boy with, not brown but light blond hair walked into the room. With bright blue eyes he looked up at the four adults shyly. Then looking at Harry he smiled. "I finished my shower." Harry came over and hugged him not noticing the way the four adults had gone tense with fear.

Then Harry felt a strong hand on the tops of his arm pull him back roughly. "Ow siri! Let go!"

"Harry be quiet!" Sirius yelled and drew his wand. Harry had never see his second father so serious. He was tense and ready as if a attack were about to happen. The Kingsley stepped in front of the small family with his wand drawn.

Pointing the deathly piece of wood at the terrified boy he said. "Draco Malfoy. . . don't move or I will fire."

The boys eyes widened to the fullest right before he fainted.

A/N how was that? To those who reviewed thank you! One person mentioned how its usually Harry who joins the malfoy family but that's just why im making it this way lol theres not enough! So can anyone guess just what happened to young draco for him to loose his memory? Let me know what you think, the more reviews the faster I write! Thanks guys!!! Oh and I also want to say that Draco and Harry are only 11 years old at this point so no smex at all. . . Yet. The rating is for later chapter the will have violence and such but later on in the story (when they get older) the close friend ship will turn into something more. I also plan to follow true events as much as I can.
