Thanks to the following reviewers: Madamdragon; moodysavage (yeah, after rereading it now, I realized it all sounded quite rushed ^^; This was my first HP fanfic, so I was just getting into the swing of things. It's no excuse, and I apologize for the rushness. If I can find a way to make it more realistic, I'll definitely go edit it.); Raine (*blushes* Thank you, it's always nice to hear it when people are rereading my stories!); thrnbrooke; silvertide (not necessarily a read third part, but this group won't be following Dumbles forever)

Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 3: Picking up Harry

Draco apparated by holding his father's arm. Because he didn't possess a diploma and he hadn't practiced, he couldn't apparate on his own.

They apparated in a small street. The area was quiet and every house looked the same.

"Harry lives here?" Draco asked surprised.

Remus nodded. "A bit further, yes." He turned to Sirius. "Now, before we go, you have to promise me, you will behave yourself. You will not, I repeat not, under any circumstances, curse the Dursleys. Understood?"

Sirius pouted – he had already his wand within hand reach. "But, Mooony!" he whined. "They deserve to be punished for what they did to Harry. I'm sure Harry won't mind."

"That's not the point, Padfoot, and stop whining! You simply can't curse them. I mean it, Sirius." Remus said sternly.

"You're no fun, Moony." Sirius pouted. Then he brighten up. "Can I at least threaten them? I won't curse them, I promise – although they deserve it – but I just want to threaten them a little."

Remus sighed. "Why? It's not as if Harry will see them again after today."

"True, but I want to have a little fun. Please, Moony? Please?" Sirius begged and he used the puppy eyes.

"O, all right! You can threaten them. Happy now?" Remus asked irritated, but amusement shone in his eyes.

"A little bit. I will feel happier when I see Harry. Come, it's time to save Harry from insanity." Promptly Sirius turned into his black dog form.

Draco's silver blue eyes widened. "Sirius is an Animagus?"

"Yes, how do you think he survived the past two years, before he went back to his house?" Remus asked rhetorically. "Let's go now."

The four men and the dog walked out the alley and walked straight ahead. The group passed by several houses that all looked the same.

"This area is so creepy." Draco muttered.

Remus heard him and smiled. "Yeah, that was our first reaction too when we visited the Dursleys."

They walked past a few houses till they were almost at the end of the street and stopped before number four.

"Here it is." Remus mumbled and the group walked to the door.

Draco could barely hide his excitement. He would see Harry soon!

Remus wanted to knock on the door, when they heard voices shouting from in the house.

"HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE DUDDYKINS OF BREAKING HIS CELLPHONE? WHY WOULD HE DO SUCH A THING?" A woman shouted in a shrill voice and the men outside flinched.

"WE ALL KNOW HOW JEALOUS YOUR ARE OF DUDLEY, BOY, BUT HE GETS PRESENTS BECAUSE HE DESERVES THEM. UNLIKE YOU! YOU'RE SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL FREAK!" A man shouted.

"O, PLEASE, WHY WOULD I WANT TO BREAK HIS CELLPHONE? I'M BARELY IN THIS HOUSE!" A boy, whose voice resembled Harry's voice, shouted back. "I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE NOTICED IT, BUT DUDLEY HAS BECOME SO FAT HE PROBABLY HAS CRUSHED HIS PHONE WHEN HE SAT UPON IT."

"HOW DARE YOU! MY DUDDYKINS ISN'T FAT, HE'S A STRONG AND HEALTHY BOY. HE JUST HAS BIG BONES." The woman cried.

"O, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BIGGER 'BONES' THAN YOUR SON IS A DINOSAUR. AND THEY HAVE DIED OUT!" Harry's voice sneered.

"BOY! YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT WE PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, OR ELSE WE WOULD HAVE THROWN YOU OUT YEARS AGO! YOU'RE SO UNGRATEFUL! I'LL BET YOU WILL END UP JUST LIKE YOUR PARENTS! USELESS AND THANK GOD DEAD! OR MAYBE YOU WILL END UP LIKE YOUR PRECIOUS GODFATHER: IN PRISON! IT WOULD SERVE YOU RIGHT. BY THE WAY, DOES YOUR GODFATHER STILL LIVES, OR IS HE DEAD? CAUSE I DON'T SEE OR HEAR HIM! LOOKS LIKE EVEN YOUR GODFATHER DOESN'T WANT YOU, OR ELSE HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU AWAY FROM HERE ALREADY!" The man taunted.

"BASTARD! TAKE THAT BACK! HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY PARENTS AND MY GODFATHER? THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!" Harry shouted.

"Okay, I've heard enough. Stand back!" Remus growled and the other three hastily followed the order. Remus took his wand and a few seconds later he blasted the door open.

The group followed Remus inside and were greeted with the sight of a horse like woman standing in the opening of a door with a big, fat boy who looked like a pig behind her; Harry standing on the top of the stairs and a whale like man standing in front of a living room.

The woman screamed when she saw the men standing in her hall way and screamed even louder when the black dog returned to his human form.

"For the love of god, woman, stop shouting!" Snape barked and Petunia went silent from the shock.

Harry smiled. "Hey, you guys. I've missed you."

Remus smiled too. "We missed you too, cub."

Sirius grinned and opened his arms. "Come and give your godfather a hug, Prongslet. I've missed you."

Harry laughed, but walked down and hugged his godfather. He smiled mischievously. "Doesn't Moony give you enough hugs?"

"You insolent brat!" Sirius laughed and put Harry in a headlock. "I'll have you known that Moony does indeed give me hugs, but I like my godson's hugs as well."

"Good to know." Harry grinned. "Now, let go of me please."

"Nope. When's the last time you brushed your hair?" Sirius asked and ruffled through the black unruly hair of his godson.

"This morning; apparently it was no use." Harry answered dryly.

"Has your hair ever been tidy?"

"Excuse me, but I can't help it that I inherited my father's hair." Harry huffed, looking insulted.

Sirius let his godson out of his headlock and said: "Hm, maybe we ought to let your hair cut."

Harry's green eyes went wide and he backed away from his godfather. "You're staying away from my hair! I mean it, Sirius!"

Sirius grinned and said purring: "You know, Harry, as your guardian I take care of you and one of the things I'll do is letting your hair cut."

"Padfoot, I mean it! You stay away from my hair! Remus, help me!" He turned his big green eyes in full doggy eyes mode and pouted a little.

Remus tried not to laugh, but failed. He hugged Harry and held him beside him, away from his godfather, who was now again pouting.

"Of course, cub, I help you stay away from Padfoot." Remus laughed.

Harry relaxed at his side. "Thanks."

Snape rolled his eyes, but refrained from speaking. Lucius watched amused and Draco was trying to control his lust when he saw Harry pouting those full pink lips

"But Harry! I'm your most favorite person." Sirius whined.

Harry snorted. "Not until you promise to stay away from my hair."

Sirius was just about to reply, when Vernon Dursley shouted: "Who do you think you are? Barging into my house like that! Who are you?" Spit flew in every direction.

Harry sighed and began to introduce them.

"The man with the black hair, next to the blond one, is Severus Snape. Potions Master, professor at Hogwarts, spy and former Death Eater." Harry ignored the hiss of Snape and continued: "Those two blonds are Malfoys. The elder Malfoy is Lucius, former Death Eater and works at the Ministry. Next to him is his son Draco, a class mate of mine. The man next to me is, as you already know, my godfather Sirius Black, a convicted murderer who's on the run and last but not least: this is Remus Lupin, another best friend of my parents, best DADA teacher I have ever had and," here Harry smirked, "a werewolf."

A loud THUD sounded – Dudley had fainted and was currently laying on the floor.

"O, Duddykins, wake up, please! Mommy is here!" Petunia cried.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM, BOY?" Vernon shouted. His face went slowly purple.

"He's just fainted, you fool!" Snape snapped. "Potter didn't do anything special. My god, man, have you always been that dense?"

"How dare you insult me?" Vernon wanted to continue, but closed his mouth when a wand was pressed against his throat.

"I've had enough of your shouting, Dursley. We've came to pick up Harry, not to be shouted to deaf! Harry, go and get your stuff! Your uncle and I have to talk a little." Sirius snarled.

"I'm leaving?" Harry asked happily.

Remus nodded. "Yes, go and get your stuff, Harry. Draco will help you."

Harry glanced at Draco quickly and nodded. "All right? This way, Malfoy."

Draco took a deep breath and silently followed Harry up the stairs, while he tried his best to not look at the nice ass and long legs of his crush.

The two boys stopped before a door with ten locks on it. Draco's mouth fell open when he saw the locks and was even more shocked when he saw Harry going in the room. A quick glance around him showed Draco an untidy, but clean bedroom. There was a small bed, a closet and a desk. Harry's trunk was open and was situated against the right wall, under the window. His owl cage, which contained his now sleeping pure white owl, was standing on his closet.

"Why are there locks on your door?" Draco asked without thinking and he held his breath when Harry looked at him. Would he be angry? After all, Draco hadn't apologized yet. Theoretically spoken, they were still school enemies.

Please, don't get angry, Draco begged silently.

After a moment of awkward silence, Harry answered, "Because they don't want to risk their precious lives. Heaven forbid, I would walk to their rooms at night, trying to kill them. Actually, those locks were placed in the summer before second year, when your former house – elf decided to drop a cake on the wife of Uncle Vernon's boss." He then proceeded to continue his task of filling his trunk.

"They locked you up? That's barbaric!" Draco protested.

Harry smiled wry. "That's my life. Welcome to my world." He added in a sarcastic tone.

After a moment of watching Harry wandering in his room and filling his trunk, Draco felt courageous enough to ask another question.

"Do they always blame you if something goes wrong?" He asked carefully, not wanting to shatter the strange truce.

Harry spun around to face him. His face showed nothing more than surprise. "I take it your heard our conversation. Yes, they put mostly the blame on me. It's either me or the government. If something is wrong with my cousin, then it's always my fault. I'm used to it now."

"You don't sound like you care." Draco said, while rubbing his finger over the shrunken book in his pocket.

"I've faced Voldemort many times over the past six years and always managed to escape. If I can survive a killing madman, I can survive the verbal abuse of my beloved family. After all, who is more a danger to me: a powerful dark wizard who wants me dead or a few Muggles who dislike me?" Harry asked and raised one eyebrow.

Draco smiled wryly. "Well, if you put if that way, then I guess I understand your reason for not caring."

Harry closed his trunk and went to sit on the bed. His big green eyes studied the boy in the doorway.

"My time to ask questions." He said suddenly. "Why are you, your father and Snape here?"

"Well, I don't know about my father and Severus – although I suspect my father forced Severus to come – but I – I wanted to apologize to you." Draco answered shyly and didn't look Harry in the eyes.

Harry was confused. Why would Malfoy apologize to him? He didn't act like his normal self, Harry realized. His eyes narrowed. Could this be a trap from Voldemort? What if this was a Death Eater, disguised as Malfoy? There was only one way to find out.

Harry pointed his wand towards Draco, ignored his shocked cry and said: "Tell me, when we had that detention in our first year with Hagrid, what creature were we looking for and who was in my group?"

Draco tried to stay calm, but that was hard when a wand was pointed at your throat! "Harry, what are you doing?"

The use of his first name made him even more suspicious. Malfoy had never called him 'Harry' before. It was always 'Potter'.

"Give me the bloody answer, Malfoy!" Harry snarled and Draco had to admit that Harry snarling was a huge turn on.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the time to think about that. Now he had an answer to give.

"Fine, I'll give you the answer! We were looking for a wounded unicorn. Your group consisted of you, me and that cowardly dog Fang. When we had found the wounded unicorn, a hooded something was drinking from it." Draco answered quickly. "There, satisfied?"

To his relief Harry lowered the wand and he relaxed slightly.

"Sorry, I thought you were a disguised Death Eater." He explained.

Draco gaped. "Why would you think I was a Death Eater?"

"Why would I not think that? You've come here to apologize to me for God knows what – something the old Malfoy wouldn't do – you called me 'Harry' instead of the usual 'Potter', you were asking questions about my life and you were speaking to me without insulting or mocking me. All these things that the Malfoy I know wouldn't do, even if his life depended on it." Harry answered. "Why the sudden change of attitude? And why did you call Snape by his first name?"

"I call Severus by his first name because he's my godfather." Draco began to answer.

"Your godfather? No wonder you're his favorite." Harry scoffed.

"Excuse me? I'm his favorite because I'm good at his subject! That has nothing to do with him being my godfather. Maybe if you tried harder to be good at his class, you wouldn't lose so many points." Draco defended himself. Ai, he was probably now in the danger zone of getting Harry angry with his answer. He hadn't meant to sound it like an attack. Why couldn't he be more careful with what he said?

To his surprise began Harry to laugh. "O, please, my potions would be reasonable made if you Slytherin guys didn't always try to mess with my potions. It's easy to make a good potion if you're not distracted. Besides, even if my potions were well made, Snape would still take points of me. If you haven't noticed it yet, your godfather doesn't like me. Hell, he hates my father and Sirius, why would you think he would make an effort to like me?" He had stopped laughing, but was still grinning. "It doesn't matter anymore if I'm good at Potions or not. I'm not taking it this year."

"What? Why not?" Draco asked surprised. He hid his sadness; if Harry wasn't taking Potions anymore, then he would lose more time he could spend watching him without anyone noticing it.

"Because I'm pretty sure I haven't got the marks you need to be allowed to take sixth year Potions. Not that I will miss it." Harry snorted.

"Well, we haven't received our OWL's yet. Maybe you're wrong and you have the marks to pass." Draco said nonchalant. Secretly he was planning on talking to Severus and possibly bribing him into taking Harry in his class. There's no way he would let somebody steal his time with Harry, even if this somebody was his godfather!

"I doubt that." The dark haired boy replied dryly. He shook his head. "Anyway, you still haven't answered my first question: why the sudden change?"

Draco sighed, walked further into the room and closed the door behind him. He was going to apologize to Harry, but that didn't mean everybody would have to hear it. He still had some dignity, thank you very much.

He went to sit on the desk, while the other boy was monitoring his moves like a hawk.

He probably thinks I'm going to curse him, Draco thought, inwardly snorting. He supposed he couldn't blame the guy for it after all those years.

"Look, because my father had decided he no longer wanted to work for the Dark Lord, I've been doing some thinking. I've realized I've been an idiot and a prat the last five years. There's no excuse for my behaviour. I shouldn't have done all those things, just because we had a stupid disagreement on the train on our first day. I also shouldn't have let myself be influenced because of stupid prejudgment's about some of your friends and the hostility between our Houses. So I apologize to you. I'm sorry." Draco forced the last two words out of his mouth. God, but it had been so hard to say all those things! He hoped this apology was enough for Harry, because he couldn't think of another way to say this.

Well, this is an unexpected surprise, Harry thought and blinked his eyes. Of all the people he knew, Malfoy was the last person he expected to apologize to him. What should he do now? He knew the apology was real – there's no way Malfoy would humiliate himself like that. He was a Malfoy after all.

Harry had to admit this rivalry with Malfoy was ridiculous. He couldn't even remember when exactly it had begun.

"You're not the only one who was an idiot, you know. Me and my friends have as much fault at this as you, so I own you an apology too. After all, I have done things to you too and let prejudgment's have the better of me. So I'm sorry too." Harry said with a slight blush.

He should blush more often, Draco thought. He looks so cute now.

"So, am I forgiven?" Draco asked hopefully.

"Only if you forgive me too." Harry grinned.

Draco pretended to think about it and sighed dramatically: "Oh, all right. I forgive you."

"Then you're forgiven too." Harry smiled.

Draco's breath got caught in his throat. Harry was so beautiful with that smile.

Draco picked up his courage for the last time and asked: "Do you think we can try to be friends?"

Harry's eyes widened for a second, but he answered: "Only on two conditions."

The blond boy gulped. "And these are?"

"We will try to get to know each other's friends and we will use our first names. No more 'Malfoy' or 'Potter'. Deal?" Harry held his hand out.

Draco smiled and nodded and shook the boy's hand. "Deal."

"I can't believe I'm now friends with a Slytherin." Harry mock – moaned. "My dad's probably now busy with contemplating how to punish me when I go to heaven."

"Hey, you have it easy. You have to wait for your punishment, but my dad's still alive." Draco mock – complained.

"True, true. Well, send my regards to my parents when you're dead, will you? It seems as if you're going to meet them earlier than me!" Harry grinned.

"If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me, Harry." Draco threatened.

"I'm so scared right now!" Harry said in a mocking voice.

"Why you little…"

Draco's insult was interrupted by a man's voice.

"Are you boys finished? We're ready to go." Remus' voice was slightly muffled because of the closed door.

"Yeah, we're ready!" While Harry took his owl cage, Draco opened the door.

Remus walked to the trunk, shrank it and placed it in his pocket.

Harry opened the window and asked: "Where should Hedwig go?"

"Grimmauld Place." Remus answered.

"You heard it, girl. I see you later." Hedwig bit affectionately in his ear and flew through the open window. Remus shrank the cage as well and ushered two boys out of the room.

"Forgive me for saying this, but for a moment I thought you were killing each other. You took so long, we all became worried." Remus smiled.

"Why would we kill each other?" Draco asked innocently.

Harry snorted. "Yeah, why would we? Don't you know that the blood of pureblood's is difficult to remove from carpet? I didn't want to leave my room all bloody and dirty."

"Hey, take that back! You should be honored to have the blood of a pureblood in your room." Draco hotly demanded.

"A Gryffindor never takes back what he said. Live with it." Harry retorted back.

The bickering between the two boys stopped when they reached the living room. On one couch sat Sirius, Lucius and Snape. On the other the Dursleys.

The Dursleys were all white in the face – well, the adults were, seeing as Dudley was still unconscious – and Sirius had still his wand pointed at them.

Harry grinned. "What have I missed?"

"Only your godfather threatening your family." Remus answered dryly.

Harry swore. "Does that mean I missed all the fun?"

Draco chuckled when he heard the comment.

"Potter! How on earth have you managed to live here? I can't believe I'm saying this, but after meeting these idiots, I have to say you're apparently the only sane and normal person in your idiotic family!" Snape barked and sneered at the Dursleys.

Did Snape just give me a compliment?, Harry thought shocked.

"That brat is the insane one here! He's the abnormal freak with his stupid magic tricks! I once believed that I could beat that abnormality out of him, but it didn't work. You're all freaks! I should have kicked him out a long time ago! If I had, I would have had a perfectly normal life! But no, I had to take that freak in! He should have died, like his parents, then there would be no…" Vernon's rant was cut off by four colored lights.

Vernon had now pigs ears and ulcers on his face. His skin was blue and yellow. The last spell didn't show something, but that didn't mean there would be no damage.

Harry looked around and saw that Remus, Sirius, Lucius and – to his great shock – even Snape had their wands out.

Sirius stood up and said to Petunia, "If I ever see your face or that of your husband again, I will personally torture and kill you. Understood?" His eyes glittered maniacally.

Petunia nodded and looked terrified.

Lucius and Snape tucked their wands away and stood up.

Sirius turned to Harry. "Are you okay, kiddo?" He asked concerned. "Don't listen to them, they're just a…"

"A bunch of dense idiots who deserve a punishment." Snape finished the sentence. He looked at Harry and studied his thin body in the oversized clothes critically. "When we're back in Grimmauld Place, I'm going to examine you, Potter. I want to know how much damage these poor excuses of humans did to you. And don't even think about protesting, Potter? Come on, now. It's getting later and we still have to visit the Ministry and the bank." He walked outside.

Harry's mouth fell open in shock. "What's just happened?" He asked uncertainly.

"To be honest, kiddo, I don't understand it either." Sirius answered shocked.

"That, Harry, was Sev going into protective mode. You're not getting out of this examination, so just deal with it." Draco laughed and clapped the other boy's thin shoulder.

"The world is going mad; that's the only explanation." Harry muttered.

"Severus is right, though; we should definitely be going." Lucius said and led the group outside. "First stop: the Ministry."

AN: ... After rereading this, I find it quite crappy and a bit OOC, but I can't come up with another way to edit it and make it less rushed *winces* I hope you all can forgive me - I swear the later chapters will be better!

Please leave me your thoughts!

Love and cuddles
