Chapter 23
This was the first time that Harry had seen the council room. At least that is what Tom had called it when he said they were meeting there and he was to be in attendance. He was leaving tomorrow to head to Grimmauld place, no matter how much Sirius had argued with Dumbledore; Dumbledore wouldn’t budge. So now he had to leave the one place and the people he had become close too, two weeks earlier than he had wanted. At least Hermione would be there.
“I do not want to take up everyone’s time today, as we will be busy.” Tom said while pacing back and forth in front of the table. Clearly too agitated to sit. “This is what we have figured out; Harry will head back to the Dursley’s tomorrow morn…”
“Absolutely not…My grandson will not step one foot in that house…”Harry’s grandmother stood up so quick that her chair flew backwards; where the house elves fell over themselves to right it before she sat back down again.
Tom trained his red gaze on his grandmother before speaking in a low hissing voice, “Heiress I have already told you…In order to keep Dumbledore from getting suspicious; then Harry has to be retrieved from the Dursley’s home.”
“In all your years of knowing this foe…this is the best plan you could come up with? Sending Harry to that…That place…One minute is too long…” Harry’s grandmother said with her hand slapping the table to emphasize her point; the sharp sound echoing around the room.
“Then Heiress…Why don’t you accompany Harry; then you will not have to worry over his safety?” Tom said as he threw his hands in the air, nearly screaming at her.
Harry’s grandmother sat back down, quirked the corner of her mouth up, “Why Tom…That is the best idea I have heard for you yet. Yes…I believe it is about time to become acquainted with my daughter again.”
Tom gave Harry’s grandmother a disgusted look before addressing the room again. “Now before I was interrupted…It would seem that both Harry and the Heiress will head to the Dursley’s in the morning. Sirius says that the order is to pick Harry up in the early afternoon. Once Harry is at Grimmauld Place he will be under Sirius…” Tom sent Sirius a stern glare. “…And Remus’s care…Which I expect these two to be able to handle one fifteen year old.”
“Now Harry…” Tom said locking red eyes to green. “This is may be difficult, but I need you to be the same as you have always been. Keep the same friends, same enemies, and above all else you need to make sure that Dumbledore thinks you still trust him.” Tom finally sat down before continuing. “Do you think you can do that Harry?”
Harry knew that it would be almost impossible to keep up the rouse; at least he would be putting the Slytherin traits the Sorting Hat saw in him to use. Still looking into Tom’s red eyes Harry answered, “Yes I believe I can do this…What happens though if something goes wrong?”
“Then you contact Sirius through your mirror, or get in touch with Severus and Lucius who will both be teaching” Tom said simply.

With the meeting over, Harry was in search of a certain blond, with many things to discuss. The thought of keeping up the rivalry with Draco, turned his stomach; over the summer they had become friends and he wanted to keep that relationship the way it was. Granted they still teased each other, but Harry had seen the person behind the arrogance and pompous attitude. This was going to be the hardest part to this deception, going back to the way he used to treat Draco.
Peeking into the library showed a Draco lounging on the couch reading a book. Harry walked silently; apparently the blond was very interested in the book as his head didn’t even turn. Harry tip toed closer, just as he was about to touch the blond…
“Do not even think about it…I know it is you Harry.” Draco turned giving Harry a wry grin and a quirk of his eyebrow.
“You are no fun…” Harry said as he sat in the chair across from the couch.
“So are you all packed for your…Fun trip…Tomorrow?” Draco asked going back to reading his book.
“I wouldn’t call it fun…” Harry said taking the book from Draco. “I came here to talk to you.”
“I was reading that…” The blond said facing Harry.
Harry looked down into his lap, trying to gather his thoughts; this was harder than he thought it was going to be. “What’s going to happen when we go back to school?”
Draco looked at Harry, cocking his head to the side, “Well we will go back to being rivals…”
Harry jumped up in agitation; pacing the room, “What if I don’t want to be rivals anymore?”
“What do you mean? We can’t show up being friends…” Confusion clearly showing in the lines that appeared in Draco’s face.
“I know we can’t…but I don’t want to go back there and pretend that this summer didn’t happen…” Harry said while pacing. “That I don’t know that you can be nice, when you want too…That your funny, if a little sarcastic…That you were right about some families being better than others…”
Draco said a smirk on his face, “Say that last one again Harry…”
Harry feeling slightly confused because he couldn’t remember everything he ranted “That you are sarcastic?”
“No not that one, I want to hear the one about me being right…” Draco said standing up, putting his nose in the air.
Harry looked at Draco with his nose in the air, hands on his hips as he looked down at Harry from the corner of his eyes; and started laughing. “Out of everything I said about you, and you only pick out that you were right…”
“Well it was the most important thing you had said.”
Harry looked at Draco a radiant smile making his cheeks hurt, “We’re going to be alright.”
“I have thought about this…” Draco said sitting back down. “We can make this into a game, the one who can best the other person wins. We could meet weekly to settle the score, and figure out what is to be the forfeit the following week.”
“I think the idea is brilliant” Harry held his hand out which Draco grabbed to shake on their new deal.
