Last Time
"Mr and Miss Weasley you both will be forbidden from going to Hogsmeade until further notice"Mcgonagall said before leading the students down to the carriages as well.
Harry,Draco, Blaise, Theo and Pansy all headed down the path towards the carriages that would take them to Hogsmeade whispering among themselves.
"Who the Fuck do they think they are, calling her a whore. I should have snapped the Weasels fucking neck"Draco raged quietly as they walked. "Did you see how hurt she looked?"he asked turning to look at Harry.
"I should kill them for hurting her"Harry said, voice thick with emotions.
"Harry you don't do the whole killing thing remember"Draco told him laughing a bit.
"Well maybe I should, maybe then people will know not to piss me off or insult her"Harry replied gruffly, causing Theo, Pansy and Blaise to stop and look at him in shock; having never heard or thought Harry could say something like that so lightly, he's supposed to be Dumbledore's 'Golden Boy' They continued to stare at him wide-eyed but Draco just nodded in understanding, he knew Harry would not hesitate to eliminate anyone who insulted Athanasia.
Harry noticed the looks the Slytherins were giving him sighed before saying
"Well from what I just heard she's Pregnant again"
"I wonder what father is going to say when he finds out she's pregnant again"Draco laughed
"I heard stories about what happened last time but it hasn't been confirmed"
"What about father's attempt to castrating Severus?"Draco asked laughing uproariously.
"Yeah"Harry said laughing as well
The Three Slytherins were watching the two in amusement as they finally arrived at the carriages.Approaching the Thestral attached to the carriage in front of them and reaching up to pet the invisible gasped all of a sudden.
"You can see them!"he exclaimed looking at Harry with wide eyes
"Yes. Can you?"Harry replied evenly
"Yeah, My Mum was killed...by my uncle"Theo replied quietly
Harry nodded in understanding before turning to the other three "I know Draco can't see them but I'm guessing you can't either right?"he said to Blaise and Pansy getting a nod.
Harry patted the Thestral once more before getting into the carriage with the four Slytherins.
Chapter 8
When they arrived in Hogsmeade Harry and the Slytherins all ignored the curious or disgusted stares directed at them and instead headed for Honeydukes.
Upon arriving at Honeydukes, Harry noticed how everyone in the crowded store parted and stepped out of their path, allowing them to easily walk and look around the small sweet shop without anyone getting in their way. He looked next to him at a smirking Draco with a raised brow, only receiving a smug look and a shrug from the Slytherin.
As they looked and selected assortment of different candys, Harry selected some acid pops, Chocolate frogs, Liquorice wands, Cauldron cakes, Fizzing Whizbees and Bertie Bott's every flavoured beans. He looking over at a shelf of Spindle's Lick'O'Rish Spiders and Jelly Slugs before grabbing a handful of each and adding it to his pile.
He looked up not noticing the smile on his face as he did only to see Blaise, Pansy, Theo and Draco were all looking at him with raised brows and looks of confused amusement on their faces.
"What are you doing?"Pansy asked him with a giggle
"Yeah, Your cackling like a crazy old Hag"Blaise added with a chuckle
"Oh. Um...I've always wanted to get these before but...I wasn't allowed to,so..."Harry answered with a sheepish grin and rubbing the back of his neck.
"You weren't Allowed?"Theo repeated
"Er... Yeah. Ron has a thing against spiders and ever since the whole puking slugs incident in seconds year, he kind of stopped me getting it before"Harry said as they paid for their sweets.
The mention of second year caused everyone to laugh as they remembered what had happened.
"Lets head to 'The Three Broomsticks now"Draco said before giving Harry a pointed look and saying "So the Weasel said you weren't allowed to do something and you listened to him? What is he your master? Why didn't you tell him that you'll do what you want?"voice sounding annoyed.
"Of course he isn't my master!"Harry exclaimed "It's just that he was my friend and I knew it made him I just decided not to get them"He continued quietly before sighing.
"Okay Harry lets change the subject off the Weasel "Draco said with a small smile as they entered The Three Broomstick went to sit in a secluded corner of away from the other occupants of the pub who had stopped what they were doing and was now watching Harry and the Slytherins. Scowling at them all Harry Pulled out his wand and casted muffliato so that no-one could listen into their conversation; even if it was just useless teenage gossip.
They just sat and drank their butterbeer laughing and getting to know each other. Harry was incredibly surprised at how similar yet different being with Slytherins were to being with Gryffindors; They talked about how boring lessons were and the latest gossip on who was dating who and all that, yet through it all they acted mature and composed; perfectly Slytherin.
They had only just started getting to know each other properly and already Harry felt that he could be himself without worrying about someone accusing him of being dark. Harry liked being with the Slytherins, he didn't have to hide his cynical and sarcastic personality in fear that they'd spread rumours about him, so he just relaxed and joined in on the conversations.
Throughout these little conversations Harry would insert sarcastic innuendoes and well placed puns, which garnered him looks surprise and looks of disbelief from Blaise, Pansy and Theo while Draco would just shake his head and chuckle.
It wasn't until they were talking about Filch and his 'hideous'cat Mrs. Norris that they mention it.
"Your sense of humour is incredibly black"Theo told him with a laugh
"Yeah, its rather Slytherin"Pansy added with a giggle
Harry looked at them cautiously before shrugging and replying gingerly "I've always had a dark sense of humour, I've just had to keep it hidden when I'm with Gryffindors"he said blushing slightly and looking away from them.
"Wow, Gryffindors 'Golden Boy'has turned into a total Snake. And in only a day of hanging out with us too "Blaise said with a sly smirk
Harry grimaced at the title before he and Draco both snorted and shared an amused look before turning with twin smirks back at the three Slytherins who were now watching them with obvious curiosity after seeing the look they shared.
"What? What are you two hiding?"Blaise asked apprehensively "What's the mischievous looks for?"
They shared another look before Draco chuckled and took a sip of his butterbeer before chuckling
"Should I tell them?"
"Its your decision Harry" Draco told him snickering slightly eyes bright with excitement.
"What is?" Pansy asked actually bouncing in her seat in excitement.
"Nothing whether or not to tell you I was supposed to be in Slytherin," Harry said flippantly trying to look serious, before the twitching of his lips got too much and then he had a shit eating grin on his face as the jaws of three Slytherins practically hit the table at his proclamation.
Draco and Harry both keeled over roaring with laughter at the expressions on the three Slytherin's faces.
After about five minutes of laughing, Harry and Draco's laughter died down to quick breathless gasps as their shoulders shook and their entire body trembled in silent laughter.
"Pick your jaws off the floor you three, it's not such a shock"Draco told them as he dried tears from his eyes.
The mouths of the Slytherins all snapped shut at that as they continued to stare at Harry wide eyed.
"You're joking right?"Pansy whispered with a startled expression on her face.
"No I'm not joking. The sorting hat wanted to put me in Slytherin"Harry told them with a smile.
"Then how come it didn't"asked a wide-eyed Theo
"I talked it out of it"Harry replied simply
"Wow"was all Blaise said as he stared at Harry in awe
"Only you could manipulate a thousand year old relic into getting what you want Harry"Draco said laughing. Harry only shrugged.
"Anyone else want anything to drink?"he asked getting up
"I'll have another butterbeer"Draco said downing the rest of his as Harry nodded and turned to the other Slytherins who also nodded yes; though still in a daze.
After Harry had left to get more butterbeer the three Slytherins looked at Draco before asking:
"How did this happen Draco? How did you become friends with Pot...Harry?"it was Blaise who asked the question but the other two were nodding along as he asked, glares penetrating.
Seeing that they weren't going to let up until he answered Draco sighed and said "It's not that I didn't want to tell you"he said before starting his explanation.
"It was the summer just after the Tri-wizard Tournament..."At this he received incredulous and hurt looks from the three Slytherins who he considered his closest friends.
Draco and Harry have only been on friendly terms for three years now; since Draco had stumbled upon him at Slytherin manor while his father was attending a death eater meeting between the inner Dark Lord had his body back after spending years wandering the earth; that meant they had a lot to do now that he was back.
Flashback
Lucius Malfoy was Dark Lord has finally risen and was bound to be angry that it took so many years for his followers to find a way of bringing him back. Lucius' anxiety was not helped by the fact that he was forced to bring his son along with him, after all Draco was only fourteen and Lucius knew of his sons tendency to brag about everything. Being one of the first to go to Slytherin manor and the first Death Eater meeting would definitely result in his son advertising the contents of the meeting. He however did not wish to be on the receiving end of his wife's wand, especially with her in as a bad a mood as she had been this morning, so he had just told Draco to come along. He'd just make sure his son was not inside the actual meeting hall.
Leading his son towards Slytherin manor's library, Lucius addressed his son "Draco, I want you to stay here and no circumstances do I want you to leave. Am I clear?"Lucius ordered firmly.
"Yes father"was Draco's deferential reply
Lucius left and Draco decided to read a book until his father was read a book on dark arts for while before he got bored and hungry and decided to call one of the house elves.
"Tazzy"He called but nothing happened
"Tazzy!"he shouted again loudly, but again nothing happened and there was no elf in sight.
Draco waited a few minutes more before getting frustrated, so he decided to just head down to the kitchen and get something himself.
'I'll be back before father returns anyway. He won't know I disobeyed him and left' Draco thought as he walked down the empty corridors of Slytherin manor to the kitchen.
As he arrived to the door of the kitchen, which was partially opened, he heard voices talking. As he wasn't supposed to be wandering around he creeped over to the door and peeked in but couldn't see who it was who was speaking.
"Master Dark Lord Voldemort will be angry at Tazzy if you don't return to your room young master"one of the voices Draco recognised as Tazzy the house elf said.
'Young master? Who's that? Where's Athan?' Draco thought as he tried to get a glance at who 'young master'was.
"I know that Tazzy but I'm hungry and bored"another voice said, which caused Draco's eyes to widen; he knew that voice...that was... just at that moment the person who had just spoken stepped into Draco's line of vision showing Draco exactly who it was.
"POTTER!"Draco shouted out loud causing Potter to start and jump around to face him wide eyed.
"Mal...Malfoy wha...what are you doing here?"Potter stuttered out
"What am I doing here!? What are you doing here!?"Malfoy shouted out in shock.
"Um...I...I" Potter stammered, looking around in panic
"What is going on here? a voice said from behind Draco, causing him to whirl around on his heels to see his angry looking father and a pissed off Dark lord looking back at him.
"I...I...I got hungry so I..."stuttered trying to explain to his father why he had disobeyed him.
"Harry go back to your room"the Dark Lord said looking at Potter, causing Draco's eyes to widen at the use of Potter's first name by the Dark Lord
Potter stumbled out of the kitchen as the Dark Lord turned back to face Draco,causing him to flinch under the heavy stare of the Dark Lord.
"It appears that I have no choice but to explain what's happening to you young Draco"nodding to Draco to follow Him and lead him to his office where he began to explain.
"You see Draco, Potter has decided to..."Draco breaks off as shouting interrupted his storytelling, causing them all to look over to the bar and see Harry punch a guy before walking out of the Inn. The Slytherins all got up and followed him, not caring for the chaos the inn was in.
"So Harry"Draco said after a while of them walking "What was all that about?"
"Oh. That guy was just giving me grief about hanging with snakes. Just had a Gryffindor moment that's all. I'm fine now"Harry said meekly with a sheepish smile.
"Whatever, lets go back to school"Draco laughed clapping Harry on the back as the other Slytherins laughed as being nice to Pott...Harry wasn't so bad after all.
