"Are you serious?"

"Yeah I never- Professor!"

"Hello Harry, Draco. Could you two please walk with me?"

"Sure." Said Harry giving Draco a look of confusion.

"Now Draco I'm very proud of the decision you have made."

"Uh, Thank you Professor Dumbledore. But, uh, how did you know?"

"My boy, walls have ears. Besides, I know everything that goes on here."

"Oh. So um, what are we going to do about where I'm going to stay?"

"Yeah Sir. He can't go back to the Slytherin house dorms. They might kill him."

"I know my boy. Now I've talked to Professor Skirrder. And he has offered that you can stay in his spare room until we can get a room ready for you in Gryffindor tower."

"Oh. Okay."

"I've had the house elves handle all of your things being moved."

"Oh, well thank you. But um, where are we going if everything's been settled?"

"Oh well I just wanted to inform you two before you headed to dinner."

"Oh well thank you Professor Dumbledore."

"No problem. Just prepare for the rumors to begin. Well I'll see you two later. I must be off to see someone." And with that he left them.

"That was…odd." Said Draco with a bit of a confused look. "What did he mean by the walls have ears?"

"I don't know. The ears may have ears but they seem to be completely blind." Said Harry with a sad look and tone. They walked for a minute in silence when Draco stepped in front of Harry's way.

"Is something the matter?"

"What? No of course not. Uh, lets head to dinner I'm starving."

"Okay?" Said Draco. Still not rid of his suspicions of something being wrong with the boy who lived."

Everyone stared and whispered as Draco and Harry walked into the Great Hall side by side.

"This really gets old." Said an annoyed Harry.

"What you don't like the fame."

"Oh yes I like it as a much as I like working with blast ended squirts. Uh hi guys. You all know Draco right?"

"Harry what are you doing with that-"

"Just sit down and shut up Ron. The whole Great Hall don't need to hear."

Ron did as told. He really didn't want to get in another row with Harry.

"Draco you sit down to."

"Okay."

Draco began to fill his plate.

"So whats up with him sitting here?" Asked Neville

"Draco has decided to go against Voldemort. Nearly all his friends shook. But no one as bad as Draco.

"Don't say his name!" Draco almost yelled.

"Why whats the matter? Afraid to hear the name Vold-" Suddenly Harry had to stop Draco from jumping the table to strangle Ron.

"Sorry." Said Draco when he saw the look on Harry's face.

"Now Draco is going to stay with us in Gryffindor tower. Because if he doesn't his friends might try and kill him like they did a few moments ago. Okay? " Harry let out a large sigh and grabbed a bit to eat. He took a few bites. But after a while he just started to play with his food.

"I have to go." Said Harry as he got up.

"Hold on." Said Draco as he got up to chase after Harry.

"Where are you going?

"I'm going to go see Prof. Skirrder. Oh. Okay. I'll come and talk to him real quick."

Harry nodded and continued on his way.

"Coming hold on. Oh Draco Harry. Hello. Draco come here and I'll show you your room. Harry you sit here a second okay?"

"Sure said Harry as he took a seat.

"Sorry Harry Hun. I was showing Draco around."

"I'm sorry I ran off last time Professor."

"It's all right. So how have you been lately Harry dear?"

"Fine I guess. Just a little. Never mind." Harry's hand automatically ran to his stomach.

"Is everything all right?"

"I don't know."

"You want to talk about it."

"I don't think I can. I just-"

"Harry it's alright. You can tell me anything."

"I know but. Well there's this guy. And never mind. I'm not supposed to tell anyone.

"Harry please tell me. I know something's wrong. And Hunny I really want to help ya. But I can't if you don't a tell me what's the matter. Okay?"

"Yeah." Said Harry.

Him and Professor Skirrder sat in silence for a while. As he waited for Harry to speak.

"Well um. It's just that. My Uncle got laid off this summer. And he wasn't to happy about it and he-" Harry took the handkerchief that Mr. Skirrder had given him out of his pocket.

He brought it to his face and covered it. He really did hate crying in front of others.

"Oh Hun." Mr. Skirrder got off of his desk and went to kneel in front of Harry.

"Harry sweetie, did he do anything to you?"

"Yes. B-But I can't tell. Please don't tell anyone. He'll beat me a-" Harry's hand's covered his mouth. He sat there weeping in fear. In fear that some how his Uncle would find out he had told. And that he would kill him.

"Oh Harry." Professor Skirrder wrapped his arms around the sobbing form of Harry Potter.

"Please don't tell anyone. No one can-"

"Oh Hun someone's got to know. Please. Let me at least tell Professor Dum-"

"NO ESPECIALLY NOT HIM. DON'T TELL ANY ONE!" Harry yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Okay Sweetie. I won't tell. But will you please tell me everything. I want to help. You. You don't have to tell me everything today okay?"

Harry nodded his head as he wiped at his tears.

"Thank you Harry. You poor baby. I'll help in any way you need okay?"

Harry nodded once again, the words unable to fall from his mouth.

"Thank you Sweetie." Professor wrapped Harry tighter in his arms and rocked him back and forth.

Eventually Harry stopped crying and left. Professor Skirrder shut the door behind him.

"Thank Merlin I'm finally getting somewhere with that poor boy. Suddenly the kind Professor grabbed at his upper right arm. His Father was calling him. Just what he needed at the moment.
