The tension in the kitchen was tangible as Draco and Harry glowered at each other from across the table.
"That wasn't even half a bowl of cereal," Draco's snarled at the newest addition to his family.
"Yes it was. And even if it wasn't its none of your bloody business," Harry retorted, crossing his arms in a show of defiance.
"Potter, you will eat this instance or so help me, I'll force the food down your throat."
Harry saw red, not at the comment but, at the use of his last name. He grabbed the glass from the table and doused the other with its contents.
"What the hell," Draco snarled in anger.
"What? Just think of it as a beauty treatment. You seem to be overly fond of those," Harry replied, innocence oozing from his tone.
"Come here you little twerp. I'll blow you to smithereens with my bare hands."
"What is going on here?" Lucius asked, anger lacing every syllable.
"I was trying to get him to eat," Draco said immediately.
"I already ate. See," Harry showed Lucius the empty bowl. "And I'm sorry. He kept accusing me and I got kinda angry so I threw my glass of milk at him. I'm sorry dad," Harry scuffled his feet and looked down in remorse. He glanced at his dad with half lidded eyes that were filled with tears before focusing his gaze back on his trainers.
Lucius' eyes softened at Harry's apology. He turned stern eyes on Draco.
"Draco go stand in the corner. I'll deal with you after breakfast." Lucius crouched in front of Harry and lifted his chin gently. "That's ok, Harry. Even the best of us can loose control of our emotions at times."
Draco stared stupidly at the duo before storming to the corner, all the time muttering profanities under his breath at the unfairness of the entire situation and at his younger brother's charm.
Severus, who had watched the entire scene from the doorway, slapped a hand to his forehead and rolled his eyes. Lucius was totally wrapped around Harry's finger. He would have to punish the brat and have a word with Lucius later
A knock resounded and Harry immediately jumped to his feet to answer the door.
"Hey, you know how long it took me to find this place. I had to stalk Nott and almost got caught for not being discreet enough," Ron Weasley smiled at his friend.
Harry quickly ran inside to inform Severus regarding his whereabouts lest he get in trouble with his Dad. He looked in the corner Draco was standing and looked away from the potent glare directed at him.
"So you're not mad at me?" Harry questioned.
"No mate. Well I was at first but Fred literally beat some sense into me. Besides I know a lot about these Pure-Blood circles and I know that Snape and Malfoy can never hurt you purposely."
"I'm glad. Hermoine doesn't want anything to do with me anymore," Harry replied sadly.
"Giver her some time to mull it over. She will come around eventually. Though why was Draco glaring at you," Ron questioned.
Harry glanced away guiltily, "He got upset at my eating habits."
"Harry James, are you telling me that you didn't have a proper breakfast?"
"I wasn't hungry. Besides it isn't anyone's business how much I eat," Harry argued angrily.
Ron sighed and followed his best friend. The duo walked to the lake and sat down under the shade of an oak tree. They chatted amiably as well as completing any last-minute homework. Then they headed for lunch where Ron noticed the glare Snape directed towards Harry's meagre meal. When he pointed it out to Harry, he just squirmed uncomfortably in his seat. After lunch, the duo headed to Hagrid's hut.
As they were leaving Hagrid's hut, they fell in behind two sixth year Ravenclaws discussing the doubt behind Sirius black's breakout.
"Well they say Sirius Black broke out of Hogwarts to get revenge on Potter," the girl with the golden wavy hair said to her companion.
"Why would he do that?"
"Revenge. He was second-in-command to the Dark Lord. Potter isn't safe in Hogwarts anymore. That's why Dumbledore consented to the arrival of Dementors against his better judgement."
Harry froze in his steps. Snippets of the conversation whirring around in his head, leaving him confused and slightly nauseous. Ron grabbed his shoulder and steadied him while muttering reassurances. The more Harry thought about the conversation the angrier he got.
"Why the hell does this happen to me. First Voldermort and know his side-kick," Harry screamed before grasping his hair in his hands and pulling tightly.
Ron gently untangled his fingers from his hair, "Harry you need to calm down. Why don't you talk to Malfoy Senior. You know how rumours circulate in Hogwarts."
Harry took a couple of steady breaths, "I don't know. I asked him to sign my Hogsmeade permission slip and he said something about it not being safe. And when I questioned his answer, he just changed the subject. I thing this is the reason why he doesn't want me to go."
"I'll talk to Fred and George about it but you need to keep a clear head. Besides no ones ever escaped from Azkaban and gotten away with it. So I doubt you'll have to ever come face-to-face with him."

"You might want to steer clear of Draco for a while. He has been muttering about painful ways to torture you since this morning," Theo looked up from his homework to regard Harry curiously. "What did you do anyways?"
"None of your business," Harry snapped.
Theo was prevented from replying by the arrival of Draco. Theo knew he would be able to figure what transpired in the morning by being a passive spectator rather than asking a multitude of questions that would probably be answered snappishly.
Draco glowered at Harry before turning on his heels to seat himself on the rocking chair. Silence permeated the air as Draco glowered at his book as though it was the reason that everything went wrong in his life and Harry just fingered the hem of his new green shirt nervously.
"Draco, I'm sorry," Harry muttered nervously.
Draco flipped a page and just continued to ignore him.
"Draco please. Don't do this," when Harry didn't receive a reply he went over to Draco and gently shook his shoulder.
"Please, Draco," Harry begged. Harry waited for a few seconds but when Draco just flipped another page, he left the room dejectedly.
Theo rolled his eyes at Draco's stubborn nature. He walked over to Draco and grabbed his book and turned it the right way, seeing as he had been 'reading' the book upside down.
Draco blushed as Theo smirked and once again rolled his eyes. He hadn't found anything useful from the one-sided conversation. He inwardly sighed at his brothers' behaviour.
Severus entered the chamber. He had talked with Lucius earlier but his concerns fell on deaf ears. Lucius refused to admit that he had been played by his youngest son. Lucius could be extremely prideful at times. No matter, he would make Lucius face the truth using underhanded tactics. He smirked inwardly. But for now he had to deal with Harry and his eating habit or lack of.
He knocked gently on Harry's door and at his muffled answer, he entered the room.
Harry looked away guiltily as his papa regarded the messy room with appraising eyes. Fortuneately, he didn't comment on the room.
"Harry, I want to know what happened this morning."
Harry told Severus what happened this morning, leaving out the fact that Draco had been right.
"How much breakfast did you eat?" Severus asked.
"Umm...cereal," Harry replied while looking at the floor. He couldn't bring himself to look at his papa's eyes which, he was sure, were filled with disappointment.
"How much cereal did you put in your bowl?"
"About a quarter. I'm sorry, papa."
"Did you know that Draco got a spanking and is grounded for a week because Lucius thought Draco was lying to him. And even though you threw milk at him, you got away without a punishment. I do not appreciate being lied to and I know for a fact that Lucius loathes it too."
Harry was crying silently at the realization that he was the reason that Draco got in trouble. He used his hands to wipe away the tears, "I'm sorry, papa."
"Yes you will be young man. I want you to apologize to Draco first and then when your dad comes home, you are to tell Lucius the truth and accept your punishment. Is that understood?" Severus had witnessed many deaths and, as such, learnt how to detach himself from his emotions. However, watching his youngest crying caused his heart to clench uncomfortably .
Severus raised his arms, "Come here you little brat." Harry ran to his arms and Severus wrapped his arms around Harry's back and brought him to his chest. Severus gently wiped away Harry's tears. "Hush now. There is no reason to cry. All will be better."
"I did apologize to Draco but he just ignored me," Harry snivelled.
Severus sighed. "Lucius will talk to him when he comes back from his trip. You have until tomorrow to figure out what you are to tell Lucius. Although, from now on, all your meals will be supervised by me seeing as you are not to be trusted on following the dietary plan Lucius set up for you.
Harry nodded his head to show that he had understood. Severus placed a kiss on his forehead, "Now go play."
Harry nodded his head and ran from the room.
Blaise beckoned Harry to his room. Harry followed him curiously. "Harry, if you want to apologize to Draco, just appeal to his vanity. Here." Blaise handed Harry some sort of potion bottle filled with a light purple potion that reeked of lavender and jasmines. Harry crinkled his nose and quickly sealed the bottle.
Harry smiled gratefully at Blaise before leaving. He found Draco and Theo arguing over who was at the fridge first.
"I'm older so I should get dibs on the cake first," Draco said.
"Well I'm smarter."
"That's because you have no life."
"What does being smarter have anything to do with that."
"Your big head is always in those books. You have no time for a social life."
"I choose not to associate myself with dunderheads."
"Yet you're the biggest dunderhead to roam the Earth."
"Well I'm taller."
"And I'm more handsome."
Harry, getting tired of the bickering, grabbed Draco's hands and placed the bottle in his hands.
Draco glanced the at the bottle and turned an interesting shade of red. He gaped at Harry like a fish out of water before turning his attention to the howls of laughter from the kitchen doorway, courtesy of Blaise.
Draco, seeing Harry's confused expression was able to put two and two together, realized that Blaise had told Harry to give it to him.
Draco immediately gave chase to Blaise who was still laughing rambunctiously. Theo and Harry exchanged looks of confusion.
"Draco's got a girlfriend," Blaise screamed as Draco pounced on him.
"Shut up!" Draco put a hand over Blaise's mouth to prevent him from yelling anything else. He was hoping to God that Theo and Harry didn't hear Blaise's shouts but no such luck.
Theo came running out of the kitchen with Harry on his heels, "Dude, you have a girlfriend. Since when?"
"Theo, I think Draco deserves the cake more than you," Harry grinned at Draco as he blushed profusely.
Blaise chose that moment to lick the palm of Draco's hand that was still covering his mouth which caused Draco to squeal in disgust and jump off Blaise which just sent his brothers in renewed peals of laughter.
"Shut up! I'm the oldest. You should all respect me," Draco huffed angrily.

Dumbledore was gazing at the grounds from his window. However, he wasn't alone. A lanky man with dishevelled hair stood in the shadows, smirking at something only he knew. His expression was gaunt and his cheeks sunken yet there were traces of his youthful self hidden in his dark eyes.
"Grindelwald, you remember the deal," Dumbledore asked. It wasn't a question. After all, he knew his former friend would still remember something that, if not fulfilled, could jeopardize his freedom.
Grindelwald laughed, "So long as you as you enhance the Magick Signature spells on my cell, I wil grant you this one favour."
But after that I will get my revenge. Just you wait old fool.
I hope you enjoyed it:)
