Chapter 3
The sun rose in the morning sky and it found Draco already awake and showering for the day. He hadn't gotten much sleep for the night. His thoughts went back to the previous day. He couldn't believe what he'd heard about how Harry was raised. It angered him greatly. Those muggles would pay for their betrayal ofry. ry. They were trusted by the whole of the wizarding world to care for the beautiful..'Beautiful? Where did that come from? Oh well, he is very easy on the eyes.' young man that Harry was and they betrayed that trust. They needed to pay for that, and harshly. Harry was heralded as the 'Savior' of the wizarding world. Draco didn't fall into the hype for a second, he knew Harry hated his fame. Hated it with a passion, but there was little to nothing that could be done about it. He was only glad that ol' Voldie was out of the way. That was one less problem of the fame to deal with. When Draco was showered and dressed he went into the common room and noticed an owl sitting in the windowsill. He immediately recognized it as a Malfoy owl, and retrieved the letter attached to its leg. Harry was just walking out of his bedroom when Draco sat down to read the letter.
"From your father?" Harry asked genuinely curious. Draco nodded the affirmative. Harry sat on the couch across from Draco not sure if Draco wanted to share what was in the letter. Draco looked at Harry and then broke the seal on the letter. He began to read aloud.
Dearest Heir,
As I am sure you are aware, your 17th Birthday was yesterday. You should have come into your inheritance. I am writing to find out to whom you have found to bond with. With any luck it will be with Pansy. I sincerely hope it is not to a, Merlin forbid Gryffindor. I most certainly hope it isn't to any of the mud bloods there. Even if it were though there is nothing I could do to sway you and I do realize that? Reply soon, I am anxious to hear who my new daughter-in-law is going to be. Your mother sends her love and regards for your birthday. Your gifts will be waiting for you at the end of the term as usual.
With Fondness, Your Father
Draco let out a sign when he finished reading. His father was going to be difficult about this. He knew his mother wouldn’t care one way or another. She had always been somewhat indifferent towards him. In her own way she loved him and would accept whatever came with his inheritance.
"Well," Harry started. "That was interesting. Are you going to answer him?"
"Yes, but later. Right now you and I are going to get through this day. It's going to be awkward for both of us and I'd like to get it over with as soon as possible." Draco looked at Harry who nodded and stood. Draco and Harry both went to their rooms to get their books for the day then together made their way down to the great hall.
Reaching the closed doors to the great hall they looked at each other and steeled themselves for the reaction, if any. They opened the door and everyone that was in the great hall stopped dead to stare at the couple. Whispers started seconds after they entered. They had overheard a couple of them. ‘Where were they yesterday?’ ‘Why are they together?’ They ignored them all and went over to the Gryffindor table and joined Ron and Hermione.
When Harry and Draco sat down Hermione gave them a tentative smile but Ron, well Ron was bright red. Harry shot a wary look at him. He knew the explosion was coming. One word from Draco, any word at all, and Mt. Ron was going to blow and it was not going to be pretty. Harry quickly piled food on his plate and began to eat as fast as he could. This was going to be a long day and it hadn’t even started yet.
Harry had just about gotten the third bite to his mouth when Hermione spoke to him.
‘Good morning Harry. I trust everything went okay yesterday?’ Her eyes darting back and forth between Harry and Draco, concern etched all over her face.
‘Yes mother, everything went fine.’ Harry said sarcastically, regretting it right after he said it seeing the hurt look on Hermione’s face. Harry sensed the tension in Ron grow at his comment. Harry closed his eyes dow down his fork, then looked up top Hermione. ‘I’m sorry ‘Mione; you didn’t deserve that, I know you’re only concerned for me. I do appreciate it. It’s just it’s really awkward at the moment, I hope you understand.’
‘Of course." Ron exploding interrupted Hermione. Surprisingly without Draco saying anything.
‘AWKWARD? THAT’S ALL YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT’S AWKWARD? HARRY IT’S DISGUSTING, IT’S MALFOY FOR CRIPE’S SAKE! AND YOU!!’ Ron stood and rounded on Malfoy; breathing getting rougher as his anger only escalated. ‘YOU SIT THERE AND SAY NOTHING YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS IS FUNNY, THIS IS PROBABLY SOME ELABORATE JOKE YOU PLANNED FOR ALL OF US, THE GIG IS UP GET BACK OVER TO THE SLYTHERIN TABLE, YOUR NOT WANTED HERE! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HARRY YOU NASTY DEATH EATER SCUM!’
Anger was the obvious emotion in Draco’s eyes; murderous might be a better emotion. ‘Weasley,’ Draco started in a deadly whisper even Harry backed away from him. Draco shot an arm out rapidly to keep Harry near him. ‘I will tell you this once and once only. This is not some prank; this is real so you had better get used to the fact that I am a huge part of Harry’s life now. I will not keep you or your sister or any of your family from him because I know how important you all are to him. IF your little rant here has hurt him in any way. YOU WILL PAY! I really don’t think you want to go up against me Weasley. You will not win. I will protect him, love him and keep him safe. I will kill anyone who causes him harm, in any way. Now, I suggest you just sit down and hope you haven’t hurt Harry’s feelings.’ Draco looked over to Harry who was flabbergasted at Draco’s rant. ‘Are you all right Harry?’ Concern dripping from his velvet voice.
‘Was that really necessary Draco? I mean Ron’s always been hotheaded you don’t neo tho threaten him to such an extreme like that.’ Harry voiced.
‘Well, maybe not the threat but he still should consider your feelings before blowing up like that; it’s not right. I mean look at Granger, she is at least being civil about the whole thing, she wants to find out more before making any accusations, and with the loud-mouthed Weasley it’s hard for her to do that. Wouldn’t you agree?’ Harry looked down at the table knowing full well that Draco was right. Hermione looked on in awe of how Draco was speaking to Harry and watched them interact. Ron stayed quiet and seethed at what he was seeing.
‘Your right, I know you are, but that’s just the way Ron and ‘Mione are.’ Harry flashed a quick smile over to Hermione. Harry then turned his head and scowled at Ron who was still raving mad.
‘THE WAY I AM? WELL LOOK AT YOU. Always so passive of everything, what the hell has gotten into you Harry, HE’S MALFOY!!!’ Ron then stood up and stormed out of the great hall. Hermione watched him go and debated following, but she needed to make sure Harry was all right.
‘Harry are you sure you’re all right?’ Hermione asked watching Draco and Harry still.
‘Yeah, it’s just still really new and I’m trying to adjust then Ron.’ Harry couldn’t finish what he was saying because he was hit with a curse that threw him back against the wall. When Harry hit the wall he blinked and slid down and slipped into darkness. Hermione screamed and Draco was at his side in a heartbeat. All the teachers made their way over to Harry. All of them except Professor Snape who went to the Slytherin table.
Snape eyeballed each and everyone there. ‘Crabbe, Goyle and Zabini. MY OFFICE NOW! That will be 200 points from Slytherin for behavior uncalled for against your housemate.’
‘Housemate? Potter isn’t our housemate Professor.’ Zabini tried to rebuke. Snape rounded on him fury visible in his eyes.
‘Mr. Zabini, you know as well as every other Slytherin that Mr. Malfoy is of Veela decent. Therefore attacking his mate-to-be is the same as attacking one of your own. You had better hope Mr. Malfoy doesn’t get his hands on you when he finds out who hurt his mate-to-be.’
Draco on the other hand was too concerned for Harry to worry about revenge at the moment; he had to ensure Harry was all right before doing anything. He would find out who hurt his mate later and they would pay with dire consequences.
‘We need to get him to the hospital wing’ announced Madam Pomfrey. Draco scooped Harry up into his arms and carried him effortlessly towards the hospital wing. Hermione and Professor McGonagall followed to find out how badly Harry was injured.
The rest of the teachers went back up to the head table. Professor Dumbledore got everyone’s attention. ‘What you have just witnessed was an attack on a fellow student. Such attacks will not be tolerated. For anyone within hearing, yes you heard correctly. Mr. Malfoy is part Veela. His chosen is Harry Potter. Please respect their privacy and do not harm Harry, I can not and will not stop a Veela rightfully defending their mate especially in an attack as which you just saw. It was unprovoked and totally uncalled for. Thank you, now get to your first classes.’ Dumbledore dismissed the students sat down for a few minutes contemplating the situation then headed towards the hospital wing to find out how Harry was.
~~End Chapter 3.. Yeah it’s a cliffie, isn’t it great??? LMAO.. Until next time.
