Ch. 16
After dinner, the Gryffindors plus one little mouse moved their conversation to the Common Room, where Harry stayed and chatted for a while. Draco entertained the others by doing tricks, until Draco got impatient and demanded that they go explore. Harry excused himself. As soon as they were clear of the tower, Harry found a hidden room where he could store his clothes while they were exploring.
After they had explored some secret passageways that Harry knew about, they set off for the Owlrey, to visit Hedwig. Harry had finally convinced Draco to go for a ride on Hedwig, and hopefully she would agree to take him.
When they reached the Owlrey, Harry transformed back to naked boy form, picked up Draco, and approached Hedwig's perch. "Hey, girl. Are you up to a ride tonight? Here's a nice Owl treat for you. You'll get another if you let my friend go for a ride with me. This is him. He likes to be called W.D., but his real name is Draco. He's another weremouse, just like me," Harry held Draco-mouse up for Hedwig's perusal. Hedwig's wise eyes quickly assessed the situation, and realized her master had brought a friend and not a snack, so she nuzzled the white mouse, and allowed her Master to place the leather straps that served as handholds for the little mouse, around her neck, and then put the mouse on her back. Her master then transformed into a mouse himself, and scurried up to her perch and climbed on also. Once she felt the small tug that meant that her precious cargo was safely hanging on, she spread her wings and flew out of the window. She soared for a while before taking a gliding down to the lake, and skimmed along the water of the lake just off shore.
Harry mouse squeaked to Draco, "See, isn't this the best feeling ever. It's even better than riding Buckbeak, or a broom even. Watch this," Harry exclaimed as he let go of the strap and gave Hedwig's back two taps. Then holding the bottom strap with his lower paws with his tail tucked in between it and Hedwig's body, he lifted up and spread his front paws wide. Hedwig feeling the signal, soared upwards with a few strokes of her wings and then when she had gained enough altitude she dive bombed down towards the water, and just before she reached it she flattened out and skimmed along the water some more. Harry turned towards Draco, his eyes twinkling with delight as he squeaked, "See, wasn't that great." But then he noticed that Draco was shaking badly and had a death grip on the straps, and his eyes squeezed shut. 'Uh-oh, I guess I should have waited to show him that trick.' He gave Hedwig the signal that it was time to return.
Once Hedwig had landed back on her perch Harry jumped off of her and transformed in mid-air, landing on all fours as a human. He gently pulled the still shaking Draco off of Hedwig's back. He stroked the soft white mouse fur until Draco finally opened his eyes. "Draco, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to share something with you. You always seem to like doing stuff like that on your broom."
Draco squeaked unintelligibly for a while before getting out, "Yeah, but then I'm in control. I can make the broom do whatever I want it to. That bird could have killed us!"
Harry laughed, "Draco, I've been doing this since third year. It's perfectly safe. I've only fallen off of Hedwig once. That's why she always flies over the water, then I can just transform in midair and swim to shore. And the only time I fell was before I made the straps and my paws slipped on her feathers. He handed Hedwig an Owl treat and stroked her back, after removing the straps. "Bye, Hedwig, see you later." Then he put Draco on the ground and transformed back to mini-mouse form. He tackled Draco, and pinned him down, stroking his back, grooming him. "See, that wasn't so bad, now was it DW. When we come back, we'll go easier until you get used to it. They made their way back down to the Castle proper and parted ways for their respective hiding places, but not before agreeing to meet again tomorrow.
TWO MONTHS LATER
Harry and Draco had met for every night for the past two months, sometimes to explore the castle passageways, and sometimes just to talk. They had also gone back to see Hedwig several times. They had ridden her until Draco got used to her enough that he was the one to initiate the dive-bomb. Draco had even gone by himself with Hedwig when she hunted, something Harry had never done, because he couldn't stand to see other small animals being eaten. Harry had finally shared his secret with Draco that morning about how he had found a spell in the Restricted Section that allowed him to talk to and understand all animals. The reason why he had never told anyone about it before was because it was actually a very complicated spell. It required the magic of ten wizards and witches to cast it simultaneously, but Harry had been able to cast it all by himself.
Draco was amazed. Over the past few months, it was driven home to him just how special Harry really was. He also realized that Harry hid just how powerful he actually was from everyone, including his best friends and Snape. When he realized how much Harry trusted him, Draco opened up about himself as well. They had told each other about their home-life growing up. Draco was surprised how the Dursleys had treated Harry. He had to be restrained before trying to run off and punish them, not realizing he had no way to get there, much less knew where to go.
Harry in turn was surprised to hear that Lucius Malfoy was actually a very loving man to his family, and tended to spoil his wife and son outrageously. It was for them that he had actually turned to Dumbledore a month before the Final Battle for Sanctuary for his family in return for spying on Voldemort for the Order of the Phoenix. They had become really good friends, but neither thought at all about the night of the full moon, much less tried to discuss it.
