Okay so I'd like to thank 2 people who decided to give me, albeit blunt reviews. I am serious about becoming a writer and I appreciate the criticism; I just hope I can do better so, my thanks to Satele and AnomalyLady. Also if anyone seems interested to be my beta please contact me.

Chapter 4

harry pov

Waking up in draco malfoys arms has to be one of the weirdest things I ever did; which is saying something considering I once fell asleep with the invisibility cloak covering only parts of my body. That's not to say it was a bad thing, actually it felt quite nice and I couldn't help but notice that it was one of the best sleeps I had in a while. I guess draco isn't that bad anymore hell, Mabie we can even be friends. I ignored the voice that said I might want to be more than friends. That was probably the hormones talking; he did look more delicious when asleep. It wasn't until I heard the chuckle that I realized he was awake and I was still in his arms, staring like a horny puppy. Heat rapidly made my face flame and I quickly got out of bed, heading to the bathroom.

"Aren't you going to say good morning," oh yeah he was amused.

I willed my face to stop coloring and turned to face him. " Hmph, get out of bed we have school to go to;" with that said I nodded and resumed my track to the bathroom valiantly pretending that I didn't hear or notice the not so greatly hidden chuckles still coming from my partner.

Stonewall High For Troubled Teens didn't look as imposing as I thought it would. I was still hesitant to go further though ,and Draco didn't push ,simply waited for which I was extremely grateful. After a few moments to collect myself, I straightened out my slouched posture and headed to the main office, head high. Draco followed, his silent support giving me strength.

After a grueling wait in the main building (their were three other pairs there. one for each grade. they're most likely the volunteers from Hogwarts; guess we'll find out when that meeting happens.) we got our schedule and were headed to home room. I had to keep telling myself to breath and not turn around and run as fast as my legs carry me. Strangely enough having draco helped. all too soon for my tastes we arrived and entered...

A circus.

We entered a circus; that's really all I could think to describe it. Some of these kids looked like they purposefully took a pin and shoved it into different parts of their body. Others looked bored and dazed, like they weren't completely aware of where exactly they were. Don't even get me started on the clothes, I'm no fashion genius but even I know that some of these things are pushing it to even call it clothing. There were bouncing and clanging and loud noised and.. and.. I have no others words.

Of course I didn't let any of this show on my face. Finally, after a few much amused moments spent staring someone noticed us.

"Hi, you must be new 'round here, names rock and I s'pose I got to introduce ya to the rest of the Wild Tamers Den." He stood on a chair and whistled and it was almost ironic at how fast it got quite; though I could do without the stares.

Damn, just like Hogwarts.

The kid, Rock spoke. " Yo, we got some newbies in da den so listen up and hear em well. They gonna introduce themselves," he got down and sat giving us a pointed look.

Draco was the first to speak which I was grateful for; I needed a moment to compose myself." My name is Draco Malfoy. We're new around here and we don't want to cause any trouble, so I take it you leave us alone, we leave you alone." I always knew getting him to embrace his Gryffindor tendencies (what little he has) was a good thing. This is one situation where I am too closely connected to have a clear mind, especially since I spotted one of Dudley's old gang pals Piers Polkiss. He was sitting in the back smoking a cigarette and staring straight at me, I didn't back down and stared straight back.

"Yooo, you got balls but that's not how it works 'round here. Ya see there are certain rules you need to learn an' one of them is I create the rules. The minute you stepped inta that door is the minute that you came under my thumb," One of the highly dangerously pierced guys popped a bubble and shifted glaring menacingly. It took all I had not to burst out laughing. After Voldemort and Death Eaters, these guys wont scare me."Now if you be good and jus' do as I say when I say then for the most part I'd let you lead your own lives."

I could just stare, honestly I was seriously contemplating searching the place for cameras. Jeez, but did this guy watch too many gang flicks or what? Draco, the bastard ,just grinned, that same sexy grin damn it, and leaned back on the wall. He was oh so clearly amused and not even bothering to try to hide it. Rock didn't seem to like that answer because he snarled ,distorting his features into that of a monkey. I had to literally forcibly swallow a laugh but some must have got out cause he turned his monkey glare on me. I couldn't for the life of me hold the smile back this time.

"What about you, Boy."

My grin faded and Draco's head snapped up; probably remembering the last case when a certain, hospitalized death eater had called me the same thing. I could sense him straightening and preparing himself for anything. it grounded me, but I was still angry and held my body with careful poise, my expression completely and utterly blank.

"Names not boy, its Harry. Harry Potter, learn it cause if I hear that.. title again I will not be held accountable for my actions." My voice was icy, calm. Almost too calm, to the point where I could see the shivers go through everyone's body. I felt Draco's hand on my arm and I looked at him. He looked worried and tense, like he was about to strike at any moment. I slowly softened till I was back to my at least as much as I could be, happy self. He never removed his arm and I didn't comment on or remove it.

"Well, then..." the bell rang and he never got to finish his sentence. I still stood staring at him, daring him to call me that again. He stared back, a smirk gleaming in his eyes with a definite promise that this wasn't over. It took a slight nudge from Draco to get my feet moving; Even then I never turned my back on them, so I didn't miss piers feral smile or the way he stood and made his way over to rocks.

What the hell kinda name is rocks anyway.

The rest of the day went by smoothly. I got a layout of the place and figured the Wild Tamers were gonna be the hardest to convince to keep magic secret when we get around to telling them. It didn't surprise me. Thankfully me and Draco got practically the same schedule save for two or three classes. It didn't escape my notice that my relationship with Draco was getting better either. It made me happy and I had no problem making a good impression. It took a lot out of me and I was still wary of what Piers and Rocks were planning, never once letting my guard down but they didn't confront me and nothing jumped at or on me so I slowly relaxed resolving to talk with draco about it later. By the end of the day I was a broken record with my sighs.

I was just glad that we got to skip school Fridays for the meeting. By the time I went to sleep I had totally forgotten about piers, it was a mistake I was going to regret come tomorrow.
