The storm that was brewing broke a week before the ball. Harry and his friends were in Hogsmead looking for their costumes. Harry was enjoying the time away. He had spent the last couple of weeks talking to students who either wanted to join him or have him hide their families. He smiled when he thought about how quickly things had moved after the fight with Ron. Shortly after, most of the old blood families, at least the children, had joined his cause. There were a few, like Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who didn’t and were trying to get others to turn against Harry. They were doing what they could to try and sabotage him without getting kicked out of school.
“This way! I know the perfect place.” Draco said as the entered Hogsmead.
Next thing everyone knew, they were surrounded. Every newspapers and magazines from across the British Isles were waiting for them. They were all talking and trying to ask the group questions about the fight and the upcoming trial Ron was facing. Harry rolled his eyes and sighed. With a mental push, they were all silent. The reporters looked around in confusion and fear.
“I’m going to say this only once, No Comment.”
Harry walked away, his friends following him.
“Are you going to unsilenced them?” Ginny asked a hint of a grin on her face.
“They will get their voices back when they leave.” Harry stated.
“Now, Draco, where are we going?”
Draco smiled and led them to a hole in the wall looking store. When they walked in they were greeted by an older gentleman.
“Good morning Lord Malfoy. How may I help you?”
“Good morning Franklin. We need costumes for next weekend.”
“Wonderful. Who would like to go first?”
“I will. They’ve never done this kind of shopping before.” Draco smiled and stepped in front of a full body mirror.
The others watch as he stood there. They watch as Draco slowly turned around. By the time he was facing the mirror again, his reflection showed the perfect costume. His reflection was wearing tight black pants with a Tudor style white shirt. His mask was black with the eyes rimmed in emeralds. It was simple, but oozed sex and power.
“Perfect.” The group watched as Franklin tapped the mirror. The costume disappeared and reappeared at the counter.
“Who is next?” Franklin asked.
One by one the group stepped forward. Hermione’s costume was an off the shoulder, corseted, royal blue gown. The skirt floated around her with jeweled butterfly’s that flew around her dress. Her mask was in the shape of a butterfly done in royal blue and silver. Ginny’s was a sleek mermaid. The top was corseted and bright green. The skirt was done in a deep red with rainbow colored seashells encircling her waist. Her mask had seahorses on it with the tails forming the eyeholes. Luna was decked out in a moonlight colored dress that had one shoulder strap and stars sprinkled over the whole gown. The skirt stopped just below her knees. Her mask was black with little stars framing the eyes. Neville got a form slimming purple suit. His mask was purple lined in silver with a big purple feather on the left. He could hear Harry chuckling in the background.
“What is so funny?” He asked.
“Nothing Prince.” Neville gave a snort of laughter.
“Geeze, thanks Harry.”
Harry was last. His costume was a replica of Salazar Slytherins’ portrait outfit. It was white slacks with a medieval top that flowed around his arms in Slytherin green. His mask was white with green trim.
‘Wow, he his hot.’ Draco thought as he looked at Harry’s reflection. He gave his head a little shake. Everyone knew that Harry and Ginny were going to end up together.
The group went to the counter to collect their outfits.
“Put them all on my account.” Harry said without even waiting to hear the price. He could hear the group trying to argue with him. Harry held up his hand for silence.
“No argument. I can afford it and I want to. You all have put up with so much these last few weeks and I owe you all so much.”
He could still hear grumbles as the gathered up their costumes. They made their way to the Three Broomsticks. They had a laugh at the reports that were still there trying to talk to students and having no voices. They managed to find a table and ordered lunch. They were joined by a few other students, Blaise, Astoria and a shy Ravenclaw named Amy. The group was talking about the masquerade when a small, shy looking boy walked up.
“Hello, who are you?” Hermione asked as she offered him a seat.
“Nick Blackwell from Hufflepuff.”
“I’ve heard of the Blackwell’s. Your family is new money from the State’s, right?” Draco asked as he passed him a butterbeer.
“Yes. We are. My family moved here a few years ago, when my mom found out she had a family home here.”
“What can we help you with?” Harry asked.
“My family is a half-blood family. My mom is Muggleborn and my dad is a Pureblood. They have been getting threatening letters from some of their neighbors and my little sister, who is only seven, has been attacked. I told them that you were offering a safe place for those who need it and she begged me to ask for your help.”
Harry didn’t even have to think twice about it.
“Yes, we will help.” He told him what to do and what the consequences of them going into hiding were. Nick didn’t care. He just wanted his family safe. As the first year walked away, Harry gave a sad smile. Nick was the youngest person to date to ask for protection of his family. It tugged at Harry’s heart that this War was robbing kids of their families in a way.
“Don’t be sad Harry. He may be losing his family for now, but at least he will get to see them at the end of this thing.” Hermione said as she gave his hand a squeeze. Everyone at the table agreed with her. They finished their lunch and headed back to the school. They spent the rest of the afternoon in Harry’s quarters getting a head start on homework so that they could enjoy the next weekend without stressing about their work. Harry found himself watching Draco more than working on his Potions essay. He didn’t know what was coming over him. Since they hit the restart button on their relationship, he was on an emotional rollercoaster with everything that was going on and the conflicting emotions he had for the blond were not helping things.
‘I need to get things together! He is so not into me like that.’ He thought as he forced himself to get back to work. Little did he know that Draco had seen him watching.
‘What is this?’ he thought, a small smile forming on his face.
‘Maybe I do have a chance.’ Draco thought as he continued working on his essay.

I am so sorry it's taken so long for me to get the next chapter out! School has been kicking my backside. I hope you all enjoy the twists and turns that are taking place and I can't wait to write the developements between Harry and Draco.
