Meanwhile, in the cold, dreary common room of the Slytherins, Draco Malfoy was sitting in the silver leather chair in front of the fire speaking to his parents.
“But can't you at least get Dumbledore to let me off from going on this school assignment, dad? I don't want to go to the Weasley's home for the summer,” Draco whined.
“Sorry, son, we both had to do this when we were at Hogwarts. Maybe it will bring some insight to how other wizardry families live besides when you leave Hogwarts. You will be flat broke till you prove yourself worthy of having the amount of money I will be giving to you,” said Lucius, looking at Draco calmly.
“You mean I'll be poor till I prove myself worthy!” screamed Draco. He didn’t know that he was going to have to work for the money that his father was going to give him.
“Yes, now start learning,” spoke Lucius, as his face vanished from the fireplace.
“Mum,” said Draco, turning to look at her.
“Son, there is something your father and I never told you. I was not the rich young lady your father had said that I was when you asked me if I was rich before I met your father,” spoke Narcissa.
“You mean you were poor?” asked a shocked Draco.
”Yes, I was dirt poor like the Weasley's. But your father didn't care if I was poor or rich, all that mattered was the love he had for me. So try to be acceptive of what Snape and Dumbledore have done for the summer holiday. I'll owl you each week to see how you are doing during the summer holiday, Draco. Love you much,” spoke Narcissa, before she too faded from sight.
Draco just leaned back in the leather chair and looked up at the green ceiling. He whispered to himself, “Why couldn't I have gotten Harry Potter or one of the other Gryffindors instead of that Weasel?”
Ron went back to his dorm to see Harry sitting on his bed, writing a letter. “Writing a letter to your uncle, Harry?”
“Yeah, he'll be steamed about this and there is nothing he can do about it,” said Harry, smiling.
“I just sent a letter to my mum and dad. Hopefully, they'll be able to convince Dumbledore to let me and Draco skip this assignment,” moaned Ron, as he threw himself against his bed.
“Just don't worry about it. I'm sure Dumbledore has his reasons if he does not want to let you two drop this assignment,” spoke Seamus, as he pushed his drapes back.
“I hope he will let us drop it. I don't want Draco Malfoy to live in my house sleeping in my bed. I'll make sure that my brothers will prank him crazily all summer long!” snapped Ron.
“Now that's an idea, Ronnikins,” spoke Harry, looking up at him. He looked at the letter he wrote. “I need some help with this letter.”
“Why don't you read it out loud and we'll let you know if it sounds all right,” said Seamus.
“Okay. Dear Uncle Vernon…” spoke Harry. A few minutes later, Harry stopped reading. “So what do you think?”
“I think he will have to accept it, Harry. What do I have to worry about there?” asked Seamus.
“Dudley,” Harry stated calmly.
“From what I saw the last time I was at Harry's house…mind you this was when we got him from them for the Quidditch World Cup, he is a fat pig. He'll steal food off his father's plate cause of the diet they put him on,” said Ron.
“I'm on a diet, Ron,” spoke Seamus.
“You! You don't look fat?!” snapped Ron. “You're thin!”
“Well, it was before I came to Hogwarts. I weighed at least thirty pounds over my weight that I weigh now. It's cause of the diet I'm on. I lost ten pounds within the first two weeks and plus I jogged each morning and night made sure I was not sitting on my arse all day long. The only times I sat down was to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and when I wanted to read my books or working on assignments for school. I'll see about getting them on the same diet that I'm on. They might even do all right with it,” said Seamus.
Couple of hours later, Molly and Arthur Weasley came to the Gryffindor common room where they told Ron that they couldn't get Dumbledore to change his mind and allow Ron and Draco to skip the assignment. Ron rushed out of the common room and hid out somewhere in the castle for the remainder of the day - he even missed dinner.
It was late at night, when Harry pulled out the map he got from the twins and searched for Ron who was hiding out in the owlery. Harry grabbed his invisibility cloak and went to where Ron was.
“Hi,” spoke Harry, after he climbed into the room.
Ron looked up and said, “They didn't even really try hard enough, Harry. They didn't even try hard at all.”
“Maybe this will give you a chance to see how lucky you really are, Ron?” asked Harry, sitting next to him and pulling out a napkin full of food.
Ron took the food and started to munch on it. “How did you know I was gettin' hungry, Harry?”
“Well, you did miss dinner and I knew you probably would be hungry by now and wouldn't come down till morning cause Mrs. Norris and Filch would be out wondering around the castle hoping to catch someone out of bed,” whispered Harry, as he pulled out the Marauder's map to show where the cat and caretaker was at that moment.
Harry wrapped the invisibility cloak around him and Ron as they hurried from the owlery to their common room and headed for bed. Ron wondered what it would be like being served by servants and being rich enough to do whatever you wanted. He figured he would give the assignment a benefit of a doubt and give it a shot. Who knows, he might be able to get some insight on how to get rich from Mr. Malfoy.
It was the third week in June, the end of year banquet was held, Dumbledore said his usual End of Year speech and added that he hoped that everyone will have a good summer.
