Chapter 23- Summer of discord

Despite his father’s owls and even a howler or two, Draco refused to leave Harry’s side.

His mother had even sent entreaties but Draco ignored both.

Harry didn’t especially need him but after his friend and more recently, his boyfriend nearly died after a possibly dangerous Tournament.

Draco had become very protective and the abandonment of Gryffindor had left invisible scars. Slytherin had rallied behind Harry partially due to Draco’s support and also because he was Professor Prince’s ward.

Dumbledore had been suspended for his attack on Harry and charged in absentia. While the severity of the charges should have merited a stay in Azkaban, due to the kidnapping and attempted murder of his boyfriend. However, the now former Headmaster had received a steep fine and lost the headship of Hogwarts, the position of Chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump.

Draco would have been pleased if they would have taken his Grand Sorceror title away but they had even refused to take away his Order of Merlin for ‘Services to the Wizarding World’.

‘Dumbledore is too popular’ they said.

‘No one really believes that he would attack the Potters’ son.’

As if the only thing special about Harry was that his birth parents had defeated Voldemort.

Not that anyone really knew how it was accomplished, only that it had. Dumbledore had used his authority as Chief Warlock to classify that information.

No matter, he doubted that something from so long ago would be considered of interest anymore.

All that mattered was that Harry was safe…

XooooooX

Harry’s birthday arrived.

His usual party was planned, of course, yesterday ought to have been Neville Longbottom’s own birthday party but with his Gran ill, a celebration was the least of his worries. To Draco’s knowledge, gifts were sent but his presence was not expected.

Harry’s list of ‘friends’ had shrunk of course after a majority of Gryffindor had abandoned him. This merely meant that aside from Draco himself, that he was going be spending his time with the very friends that Ron Weasley had insulted and ostracised.

After Gryffindor’s betrayal and Harry’s ‘accident’ on the staircase, Uncle Severus had allowed Harry to attend Slytherin lessons at Draco’s request for his own protection.

It wasn’t all that surprising when Professor Flitwick became Headmaster or that he asked Uncle Severus to take over as Deputy Headmaster. Flitwick appeared after being named Headmaster with the Sorting Hat, it was not all that surprising what Harry was Resorted into Slytherin where Draco privately believed he belonged all along.

At half-past seven, Draco led Harry into the drawing room at Merrivale.

Waiting for them were their mutual friends: Adrian Pucey, Brecc Montague, Blaise Zabini, Theo Nott, Greg Goyle and Vince Crabbe. Given that Harry was fifteen now, they all brought dates.

With the exception of Adrian that is… he had been the only older Slytherin to not attend the Yule Ball in favor of his studies to his parents’ disapproval.

Brecc came with Viktor Krum of course, a relationship his parents did not approve of.

Greg came with his squib’s daughter Mal Prewett while his sister came with Millie Bulstrode. Practically, the entire dungeon knew about them but had been loyal enough not to speak of it.

Vince came with a sulking Pansy, she had been raised with the expectation of being Lady Malfoy not that Draco had ever encouraged her. The blame for that lay with their fathers…

Aodhan Urquhart, Draco’s psuedofriend from his year came with his very strange friend first year Gryffindor Ned Nott who was best friends with Colin Creevey and Harry’s sister Nemia.

While Blaise arrived with Charlie, that had been a surprising relationship in the beginning. Given that that the Weasley was nothing like his idiot youngest brother and more like the twins, his relation to the weasel was forgiven.

They drank Butterbeers and sparkling ciders, ate a gianormous chocolate fudge cake with the frosting made out of melted Honeydukes bars.

They listened to Weird Sisters’ vinyls on the wireless and had an impromptu dance party after presents and cake.

Eventually, Harry fell asleep in Draco’s lap which was cue for their friends to begin heading home.

Blaise was the last to leave, despite their slowness on Harry’s part to be friends in the beginning, Blaise was very fond of their young friend.

If Draco let Harry sleep away from him, he knew that Harry would be quite safe in the dormitory with Blaise, Theo and the others…

XooooooX

After the revelation of Dumbledore’s misdeeds, Professor McGonagall had a collapse. It seemed that used charms and potions to get her to go along with his insanity…

Remus had taken over as Head of Gryffindor to his being the senior most alumni of that House while Professor Septima Vector succeeded Flitwick as Head of Ravenclaw.

By the end of August, Professor McGonagall was recovered enough to return to Hogwarts with lessened responsibilities.

So, she was merely assigned to teach the younger students while Susan Bones’ father had the responsibility of teaching both the OWL and NEWT level students.

It was surprising that Harry’s Hogwarts Letter arrived giving him the captaincy of the Slytherin team. Given that he was likely the most skilled in their now mutual House, Draco was quite pleased. Given that Brecc Montague who had been named captain after Flint’s graduation, was now a prefect and Adrian Pucey was Headboy, it made sense.

A Slytherin Head Boy, the last one that Draco was aware of was his father…

Speaking of his father, he had yet to speak with him properly after the disasterous Third Task. To his mother’s sorrow, the two of them were still not on speaking terms.

Until Lucius Malfoy was willing to treat Draco with respect and listen, Draco had nothing to say to him.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
