I Am Draco Malfoy-Potter

Chapter Six: People Like You

"Harry?"

Draco cradled Harry's body to his chest as the Death Eaters strolled around looking for innocents. He was crouched down, covering Harry's body with his own.

"Harry, please wake up. Please." Draco was in the middle of a panic. This was the plan, his father had warned him. The Death Eaters were strolling around looking for Harry, and if they found them, things would end worse than they had in the future.

Suddenly the Death Mark was shot into the sky as everything turned green for a second before fading black.

"Harry!" Ron's voice surprised Draco, but he bolted up with Harry's body in his arms.

"Ron! Over here!" He screamed back. He seemed to have gotten the red head's attention.

"Malfoy?" Finally Ron came into view followed closely by a coughing Hermione.

"He's unconscious, help me get him out of here." Draco called, supporting Harry with his shoulder. Ron went to Harry's other side, supporting him without a word or even a face at Draco.

"It's them isn't it." Ron asked tensely as Hermione walked along side them.

Draco swallowed thickly. "Yes."

Suddenly a flash of light passed right by Draco's head, making the blond throw himself towards Ron's side. "What the-"

"STOP! That's my son!"

Arthur Weasley ran towards the children, followed by a man who probably shot the spell at Draco's head.

"Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco are you alright?" Arthur's eyes were honestly worried as he looked Draco over to see if the spell had actually struck the blond. Draco just gulped, holding back his instinct to hug the man. Arthur had given him a father figure after his father's death, but this Arthur wasn't the same anymore.

"Which of you conjured this?!" The man with Arthur yelled at the kids, coming close enough to grab Draco by the collar. As he pulled the blond to him Draco was forced to let go of Harry who was caught by Ron. "It was you! Wasn't it you little Death Eater!"

"Barty! You can't possibly.." Arthur stopped, not willing to continue.

Barty glared at Draco's face as the blond remained strong glaring right back. "Do not lie! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime!"

"Crime?" Harry's small voice made Draco's eyes widen. Without care he slapped Barty's hand away and rushed to Harry's side.

"Harry? Are you alright?" He asked dusting the brunet off as Ron let him try standing on his feet.

Arthur ignored the exchange. "Barty, they're just kids." Arthur insisted. Harry scowled.

"What crime?" He asked again, louder so he could be heard. He used the arm Draco offered to help him stand. Hermione coming to his other side to help support him as Ron went to his father's side.

"Harry..." Hermione whispered. "It's his mark."

Harry's eyes went to Draco who looked like he was not going to talk even the worst of tortures. "Those people tonight, in the masks...they're his too aren't they? They're his followers." It was directed at Draco and the blond mutely nodded.

"Father warned me." Draco sighed. "I tried to get to you before the attack, but I couldn't get through the crowd. I panicked when I saw you laying on the ground like you were..."

"Lucius warned me too." Arthur nodded. "Told me to call Dumbledore as soon as possible but right after the game the attack began too quickly. The ministry called the Aurrors before I could call the headmaster."

"This is not a matter for the Headmaster to care for." Barty said arrogantly.

Harry sighed as he leaned on Draco hiding himself in the blond's neck. He wasn't feeling too good and the smell of the blond was comforting reminding Harry of his summer.

Draco on the other hand froze completely taken by surprise by the action he was so used to but that hadn't happened in so very long. Still, there was no way Draco was going to stop Harry from doing this, this was what he wanted.

"I'm taking these children home, Barty. You will not stop me." Arthur frowned and gathered the children. Ron finally noticed it was Malfoy who had saved Harry and scowled at the blond, but it lacked any real malice.

"Go then Arthur. We will figure out who was behind this."

Barty's voice was far away now as the man walked away. Arthur looked around and smiled thinly at each child. "Touch the button Draco, and please make sure Harry is touching it too." The man said before they were whisked away leaving behind the remains of a Death Eater attack.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Harry was standing outside the back of the train putting his trunk with the load that was to go to Hogwarts with them. Ron was talking about the attack with Hermione and Harry was getting sick of listening to it. Just as he thought it would be better to just walk away, Harry heard his name being called by the most amazing voice he's ever had the pleasure of hearing. He smiled wide.

"Harry!"

When he turned to see the blond, his smile dropped. Behind Draco were his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy. Shit.

"Come here!" Draco called motioning with his hands as well. Harry swallowed as he walked up, eying the Malfoy seniors. "Mother, Father. This is Harry Potter."

Mrs. Malfoy seemed to beam with a bright smile as she greeted him, shaking his hand and introducing herself as Narcissa Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy however had an emotionless mask, something he recognized from his encounters with Draco in the past. It was the infamous Malfoy Mask.

"Hullo." Harry greeted awkwardly, eying the man who had slipped Riddle's dairy into Ginny's cauldron during his second year. He wasn't sure what to do with himself but Mrs. Malfoy seemed to resolve that for him.

"Dragon has told us all about his summer with you. Thank you for taking him in and allowing me and Lucius some time to ourselves. We would like to invite you to the Malfoy Manor next summer, would you be incline to come?"

Harry gaped at the woman. Was she inviting him to spend the summer with her and her family?

"Mrs. Malfo-"

"Oh please boy, call me Cissy." She smiled even wider when Harry's mouth actually dropped open.

"Mrs. Cissy-"

"I realize we haven't always been the most understanding people Mr. Potter." Lucius spoke for the first time since Harry set eyes on him. A slight smirk on his lips. "But our son has seen a good friend and you, as Malfoy's aren't anything if we aren't loyal to our family." He nodded his head when Harry's jaw snapped shut.

"So will you come this summer Harry?" Narcissa smiled placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.

Mutely, he nodded. Unable to fathom any words under her motherly smile. Draco's whispered 'YES!' didn't escape Lucius' judgment and the elder Malfoy gently slapped his son upside the head leading to a glaring Draco who couldn't hold back a smile.

"Now be on your way boys. The train will leave you behind." Lucius said, nodding to Harry and hugging his son with one arm. Narcissa sent the blond off with a full hug and even went as far as to hug Harry as well, whispering her wishes of a good year into his hair before she pulled back and the two adults left.

"You told them?" Harry whirled to Draco and glared. "I thought we weren't telling anyone?"

"I didn't." Draco smirked. "Mother came to check on me and realized who I was always running with every morning. She likes you though, she thinks you'll bring the family to a better place."

"Where is that? Hell." Draco's laugh had Harry smiling for a bit, before the boys noticed where they were. In plain view of everyone at the station they were acting like good friends and already they were getting stares. Suddenly Harry felt a bout of self consciousness that made him fidget.

"Well, the cat's out of the bag now...isn't it?" Draco sighed before throwing his head up and his nose in the air like a true Malfoy. Harry just shrunk even more under the stares.

"Draco don't..." Harry whispered but it fell on deaf ears as the Slytherin grabbed his wrist and began dragging him to the train.

"Don't what Harry? They were bound to realize eventually. I'm not really alright with the idea of loosing you as a friend, so how about we just let them deal with it and carry on with our lives?" Draco turned and sent him a reassuring smile.

That actually went a long in making Harry feel better.

"Harry?"

Ginny's voice startled Harry into stopping just before Draco dragged him into one of the empty compartments.

"Hello Ginny." He greeted smiling, but her frown made his smile falter.

"Why are you following Malfoy around?" She frowned, glaring at Draco who sneered right back. While he liked the girl after the birth of Rose and Hugo, she was a complete bitch throughout their school years as well as their first few years of marriage. It was only after the birth of Scorpius that the red headed girl realize Harry wasn't going through some kind of faze.

"Because-" Harry paused wondering what he should say. "Because he's my friend." Harry answered strongly.

Then without another word he followed Draco into the compartment and closed the door on Ginny's face.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

"Why does your mother like me so much?" Harry's eye brows furrowed. As he sat down across from Draco, grabbing the wand he had borrowed and handing it back. Draco took it before stuffing it in that leather back pack that he seemed to always carry around with him. The Narcissa question had been on his mind since he saw the elegant lady grinning at him like a mad woman.

Draco laughed. "You want me to be honest?" He asked. He had already planned on telling Harry this, but he figured it would have been later. Guess not.

When Harry nodded, Draco smiled. "She thinks I have feelings for you. You know, like liking you more than friends do."

Harry's eyes widened and he backed away a bit, a new light in his eyes.

There, now he had put the idea into Harry's head. That was all he was aiming for. With a smile, Draco changed the subject, or tried to...

"So what do you want to do this-"

"Do you?"

The quiet voice made Draco slip on his words. Did Harry really just ask that? Now Draco was nervous. He didn't know how Harry would react with the truth! He figured Harry would just get awkward as he thought about it and-

He was not expecting this at all.

Draco stumbled over his words as he tried to quickly think of an answer.

"Ugh..."

Harry's surprised face slowly turned into a smile at Draco's inability to answer. "You do, don't you?"

"I-I"

"You like me?"

Draco's heart raced as his panic rose. He wasn't going to deny it, not now, not ever, but he couldn't possibly let Harry-

"I...I think I may like you too."

Draco's breath caught in his throat. That smile Harry showed was suddenly so shy and cute and Draco couldn't stop staring at those lips after those words came from them...he couldn't possibly mean...would he?

It was as if instinct took over. Draco lunged forward and smashed his lips on Harry's earning himself a sweet little gasp that he swallowed up with glee. He was kissing Harry. He was finally kissing his Harry again after so long.

"Please don't be just saying that..." Draco whispered against his lips. "Please please mean every word you just said."

"I do." Harry whispered back, eyes wide from the kiss. "I mean it, I like you."

"Damnit Harry..." Just as their lips were about to connect once again, the compartment door was thrown open and a blast from a wand had Draco up against the compartment wall.

"What the fuck!" The blond yelled and a head of bushy hair flew into the compartment crashing into Harry in a hug.

"What the fuck are you doing Ron!" Harry screamed ignoring Hermione who hugged his torso like it was the last pillow she'd ever see.

Ron was at the door of the compartment with his wand raised and an angry glare in his eyes. "I knew it, he was up to something." Ron hissed.

"He didn't do anything to you did he? He didn't harm you yet did he? We came as fast as we could after Ginny told us Malfoy had taken you into a locked compartment." Hermione was almost sobbing as Draco struggled against invisable bonds and Harry stared in shock.

"Let him down Ron!" Harry yelled pushing Hermione away from him. "What do you think your doing."

"What are you talking about Harry, the little git was about to attack you." Ron argued, wand still pointed at Darco.

"LET HIM DOWN RON!" Harry roared again.

"NO!" Ron yelled back.

Taking out the wand in his pocket, Harry pointed it at Ron. "Let him down or I'll make sure you can never cast a curse again..." the angry brunet hissed.

Ron glared before releasing the binding spell, allowing Draco to sink to the floor and gasp for breath. Harry went over to him and checked to see if he was alright, this earned startled yells from Ron and Hermione and Harry glared at them.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Harry asked low and dangerous.

"Keeping this git from harming my best friend." Ron replied with nasty sneer. Harry almost wanted to laugh. Almost.

"He wasn't hurting me you prick, think before you fire off curses at innocent people. Did him saving me at the Quidditch game mean nothing?"

"But Ginny said-" Harry's glare stopped Hermione from continuing.

"And what did Ginny say?" Harry prompted.

"Ginny said he dragged you to and empty compartment to attack you before we got to the school." Ron answered growling. Harry stared at him.

"He doesn't even have his wand out and you think he's out to get me? You didn't see his change last year? Him rescuing me again and again."

"He was there to capture you. You heard him, his father told him about it! People like him don't change Harry, snap out of it!" Ron yelled out about to cast another spell.

Draco disarmed him.

"People like me? What does that mean, people like me?" Draco rose looking at Ron with a heavy glare.

"Evil." Ron answered simply.

"Nothing I do is going to change your mind is it?" Draco whispered his eyes falling to the ground. "You were able to forgive everything I've ever done once before but you can't now? What's changed? Is it because my parents aren't dead? Is it because I'm not weak and vulnerable?"

Ron was stunned into silence, and so were the other two as they watched Draco look up, his eyes shinning. "You called me 'mate' before. You played Wizard's chess with me, you...You believed me once..." With a sigh, Draco ran a hand through his hair and shook his head.

"Unbelievable. Are you only capable of showing someone forgiveness after they have lost everything? Does the fact that I'm trying here mean nothing?"

Ron was stunned and the guilt building in his chest didn't help the shock. Malfoy looked like he was about to cry right in front of him and he was standing there glaring at the boy. It felt like Ron was the bully all of a sudden.

"You...what did you mean by he was able to forgive you once?" Hermione had spoken first, cutting the tense silence like a knife. Draco only sighed before turning away.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does." Hermione insisted. "You're hiding something."

Draco turned to scowl at her. "Of course I'm hiding something. If I told any of you the truth then you wouldn't believe me at all."

"Try us." Hermione tried again and it was waring on Draco's patients.

"'Mione I'm serious, don't-"

"You just called her 'Mione..." Ron pointed out in disbelief.

The blond stared blankly at them for a second, his eyes glazed over like he was deep in thought.

Harry was just as shocked as his two friends, even more so. What was Draco talking about? Forgiving? Wizard's chess?

"It doesn't matter. You wouldn't believe me just like you refuse to believe I've changed." Draco walked forward, side stepping Hermione and Ron before looking back at Harry. "I'll see you later."

And then he was gone, leaving the Golden Trio behind, confused and tense.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

"When will it be ready?"

Lilian smiled to herself as she and her brother Scorpius read over every Charms book in the Snape Manor.

"Soon." Lily said with a sort of giddy giggle. "We just have to change this part, and this part, and rewrite this part so that we'd have physical bodies."

Leonis looked at the little girl like she had two heads. 10 years old and already so smart.

"Lily, pay attention to the potions, I got Charms." Scorpius said not looking up from his own study book. "Leo, what did Uncle Sev say?"

Leonis shrugged and shook his head. "He isn't back yet."

Scorpius looked at the time and frowned deeply. "It's almost six in the morning and he hasn't returned?"

Leonis shook his hand and looked around. "Where's Jamie?"

"Sleeping in Daddy's room" Lily answered absentmindedly.

Leonis narrowed his eyes at his sister. "You and Jamie are the same age, why do you act so different?"

Lily smiled again and kept reading. "We aren't really that different. Jamie's only a genius in secret." She whispered and giggled again before closing the book. "I'll go check on him!"

Climbing off the arm chair she's been placed in to read, she ran past Leo and all the way to her Daddy's room a floor down.

"Jamie, Jamie, Jamie! Did you finish it!" She cheered as she jumped up on the bed with no warning. The covers were over his head, but she could see the light of Jamie's lamp and the edges of the books he'd been going through.

"Yes." Jamie's small voice answered before his hand come up to pull the covers off him. "It's done, Daddy and Severus thought it was a spell to turn back time and replace what will happen, but it wasn't." Jamie paused and look shyly at his older sister. "Daddy's in a parallel world."

"Parallel?" Lilian asked in confusion sitting beside her twin and looking at the books over his shoulder. "Like the 'every choice we make' kind of Parallel world?"

Jamie nodded.

"Isn't that what time really is? Choices? Papa went to a parallel world that had been exactly the same to this one until one certain choice. We have to figure out what that choice was if we want to end up in the same place." Jamie calmed explained.

Lilian frowned before sighing, deflating like a balloon. "We're never going to find Daddy..."

"I think I can locate him. His wish when he left was to protect Papa, so the parallel world he went to is one in which Papa needs that protection more than anything. I think the choice that change was what he would do once he saw papa again. Plus, Uncle Sev said he's taken the album. If we can use that album as a focal point, we will end up wherever that album is in the parallel words."

Lilian grinned as she wrapped her arms around her younger brother. "You're a genius Jamie!" She yelled before jumping off the bed. "Scorp and Leo are researching the wrong thing, I'll go tell them to look up parallel words."

Jamie nodded as she left. Once she was gone he allowed himself a small smile. He was going to see his parents soon...he would.
