Signed
Tick Tick Tick Tick
The time seemed to strech unbarebly long as I waited on the bench outside of Kingsley's office. Finally the door swung open and the man stood tall in the door. His face was stiffer than usual but his voice was kind as he spoke "Do come in Harry, sorry about the wait. Mister Malfoy and I had a small family matter to discuss."
I entered the room to see Malfoy seated in one of two chairs before a large dark desk. I slowly stepped forward to take a seat in the other.
"Just a few papers to sign here Harry. Mister Malfoy's safety and well-being will be up to you, of course just to the best of your ability. That's this one. This one here is agreeing to not provide him with a wand or allow him to leave you're... uhum residence... do you have a residence currently Harry?" Kingsley paused and looked up from a small pile of parchment in front of him.
"Yes, sir. Ginny and I just moved into a house in Wimbledon." I replied.
"Ginevra Weasley? Does she know that- well about this?" Kingsley said with brows furrowed
"Oh, um I'm not sure. Arthur- you know, her father, may have told her by now but-" I cut off at the sound of a snort to my left. I narrowed my eyes slightly at the sight of Malfoy with his eyes closed and his lips pressed together as though supressing laughter, and I wanted to say something but knew this was not the time or place. Turning back to Kingsley I said "Sir, I'm confident in this decision, and will handle whatever situation arises, with Ginny, as need be" another snort, this time sounding derisive, came from my side but this time I ignored it holding Kingsley's penetrative stare.
After a moment he nodded. "Alright, so then to the best of your abilities you are not to allow him out of your residence until next year on this date unless for the purpose of education, or by an arranged ministry appointment, and then you must accompany him at all times. As you know Mister Malfoy has sworn an oath to take his NEWTS within the next two years. It is my understanding that Hogwarts is to reopen in late October after some immediate repairs, if you or he wish to attend you will need to contact Minerva to make arrangements for Malfoy to accompany you at all times during your stay at the castle. That sums up these pages here. Oh and Mister Malfoy is allowed to do basic wandless magic and be in control of a wand during classes or to practice for classes under your supervision. That's this clause here. Next Mister Malfoy has made an oath not to intentionally harm you in anyway unless in means of self defense or invited (as in during practice duelling or such for educational purposes but should be minor and easily corrected) and this says you swear to uphold this by also not causing unnecessary violence to him. You are allowed to disarm, or injure him if needed to uphold your purpose as his warden. Next here, Malfoy is allowed the return of his wand after a year but will be limited to certain magic, banned spell types are listed just here under section b. He will also not be allowed to apparate,
unless side-a-long with you for the duration of the eight years. Then this, here, states he is not allowed contact with anyone without your express permission and supervision, furthermore-"
"I'd like to be able to write my mum, please" Draco broke in quietly at this point.
Kingsley frowned at this. "Mister Malfoy we have already dis-"
"I agree, you can write to your mum." I interrupted. Malfoy looked at me eyebrows raised, while Kingsley turned his frown on me.
"Harry as honorable-"
"Sir, I write to Mrs Malfoy often, and will review and send, myself, any letter Malfoy writes. I'm not comfortable with him writing his father but, if you recall I tried to keep Mrs Malfoy out of Azkaban, and therefore find no problem with allowing this freedom to them both."
Kingsley's jaw flexed for a moment. "Very well. Now moving on, furthermore all letters by Mister malfoy will be spell screened, if you don't know how to do this we can provide you a lesson, Harry."
"I do, but thank you."
"Alright. Well that's all I have, if you would just sign these." he held out a self-inking-quill to me. I signed appropriately and then stood holding my hand out to Kingsley.
"I hate to rush out, but I'm sure Malfoy is looking forward to a shower-" At which Malfoy grunted "and Hermione is probably waiting in the lobby to shake some sense in to me" I smiled widely at this "but I'll owl you about coming over for tea sometime soon."
Kingsley's face lit up with a smile for the first time "yes, yes, I'm sure Hermione will be giving you an earful too. Give her and Ron my best. Also, don't forget about the Gala next month, I expect you there, despite your new responsibilities"
"Of course, Minister." I replied with a chuckle, knowing he was only saying the latter to uphold his role as Minister of Magic. "Malfoy are you ready?" I said turning to the blonde. He nodded and so I turned leading us from the room.
AN: This as far as I've written so far. I will update whenever I get the chance. Probably at first quite regularly but I think this will be rather long so will probably end up being in bursts with 2-3 chapters at once and then nothing for possibly weeks. We will just have to see. This will get fiished though. I hate an unfinished story.
