PART
FOUR

The
rest of the week passed smoothly with little interruption. Draco and Harry barricaded themselves in
Harry�s rooms, it was safer that way.
Harry worked on his book and Draco helped or read some of the Dark Arts
books Harry kept on his shelves. Or they
both sat there talking to one another, feeling each other out to see the little
changes that had crept upon them during the past three years. Finally Harry decided that they would have to
face Hogwarts, sooner rather than later because eventually Severus would demand
it and they would both rather be adult about the whole thing rather than
treated as students who had both lost points in Potions Class.

�We
should eat in the Great Hall tonight,� Harry said as he cleared the table from
their lunch. �We�ve kept out reality
long enough.�

�A grand entrance then?� Draco smirked at the
thought.

�Yes,�
Harry nodded smiling with a glint in his eye.
�Do you have any of your old battle outfits? If not I think I have a few of your old ones
along with my own.�

�I
have two or three with me,� Draco said. �I
used them to practice in.�

�I�ll
send a message to Severus to meet us here after his last class today,� Harry
told the blond. �We�ll have plenty of
time to plan our entrance. It�s a good thing
too, word will spread fast once the students have seen
us.�

Draco merely nodded. He knew exactly what that implied. He watched Harry write out a rather vague
message to his former Head of House.
Dobby appeared in a flash.

�You is
called me Master Harry?� Dobby asked excited to be doing some task for his
favorite person at Hogwarts.

�Yes Dobby,� Harry said
sealing the letter with his own personal seal.
�I need you to take this to Professor Snape. Don�t let anyone else get their hands on
it. It�s very important.�

�Yes Master Harry,� Dobby
nodded reaching out both hands to take the letter. �I be doing it now.�

Dobby disappeared with a
�POP!�.

�Well that�s taken care of,�
Draco leaned back in his chair. �Now we
wait?�

�Yeah, we wait,� Harry seated
himself.

The two looked over the
latest chapter of the Dark Arts book Harry was working on. They had nothing better to do and they did
not want to discuss what was coming.
There would be time enough for that once Severus arrived.

�I don�t know how to thank
you for coming back,� Harry finally said once they had set his notes
aside.

�It�s
fine Harry,� Draco shrugged. �You and
Severus are the only people I can really trust anymore. I realized that while I was living in America.�

�We missed you a lot,� Harry
said. �It was hard when you left right
after. I woke up in the Hospital Wing
and you were already gone.�

�It was easier that way,�
Draco sighed. �I couldn�t hang around
with Hermione and McGonagall here. It
was too soon. I was still pissed as all
bloody hell. They had sacrificed Pansy,
just to get at her parents who were low ranking Death Eaters. Pansy had nothing to do with it and they
killed her.�

�I know Draco,� Harry�s eyes
hardened at the memory. �I know. They got off light, Hermione and McGonagall. They get to keep their jobs but they have to
be under Dumbledore�s supervision. Like
an extended probation. It�s not enough
but it�s all the Ministry would do to them, even with my testimony against
them.�

�McGonagall sure doesn�t seem
pissed at you,� Draco commented.

�She thinks I�m delusional,�
Harry stated calmly. �She confronted me about
it and has also spoken to Albus and Poppy.
She feels that with enough time and kindness I�ll eventually recover
from my delusions and realize that she was just doing what was best.�

�That sounds like something
she would do and say,� Draco coldly noted.

�Hermione wouldn�t talk to me
at all the first year,� Harry shook his head.
�I�m not sure what she expected out of me but obviously I didn�t give it
to her. She tolerates me, which is
something. But I can�t trust her any
longer.�

Draco nodded. He knew all about broken trust. He had almost lost his two war bonded because
of others actions. It was yet one more
reason not to just forgive and forget.

The door to Harry�s quarters
burst open and slammed shut just as quickly.
Severus Snape leaned against the doorway, black eyes searching out the
room. He relaxed once he saw only Harry
and Draco were present.

�Severus?� Harry asked, brow furrowed at the abrupt entrance of the Potions Master. �What�s going on?�

�It felt like someone or
something was trying to follow me,� Severus finally stepped away from the
doorway and made his way over to the couch.
�I prefer not to take chances Potter.
Hello Malfoy, it�s good you�re here.
Now what is it?�

�We�re going to make a grand
entrance tonight Severus,� Draco unfolded his body from the chair and
stood. �And we�re wearing our battle
robes.�

Severus smile was cold and
chilling. The other two wore similar
expressions. They were going to make a
stand without words, sometimes those were the very strongest and the most
impressive and long-lasting. The three
men dressed in their battle robes, serious expressions over coming
their features as they recalled the last time they had worn similar clothing together. Those had been dark times and darker ones
were about to replace those old memories with more terrible ones.

The three men emerged somber
and sinister looking from Harry�s rooms.
All the students and most of the teachers would already be in the Great
Hall. Draco looked to the two dark
haired men, one on either side of him.
It was what they had decided upon, a united front.

Harry halted them on the
stairs leading towards the Great Hall.
He brushed his hair back and away from his famous scar, willingly
showing it like a badge. Draco smirked
at the deliberate gesture. He took the
time to carefully run his hands over his two knives tucked into their holsters,
one on each side. Harry and Severus did
the same. They all tucked their wands
into wand holsters before nodding to one another. They were ready to face the masses.

Severus led the way, Draco
right behind him followed by Harry and the famous scar. All the laughter and pleasant chit chat
slowly died out as the trio began walking through the doorway down the center
isle towards the Head Table. None of the
three bothered to look to the students.

The three men sat next to one
another at the Head Table and looked out over the sea of faces staring at
them. They stared calmly back until the students
began looking away and slowly the talking returned but more subdued and about
why there were three well known wizards wearing battle robes at the Head Table
during dinner.

�Well,� Severus smirked
cruelly. �That went well don�t you
think?�

�Quite well,� Draco gave a
half smile.

�News will be at the Ministry
by late this evening,� Harry added. �We
do know what we�ve gotten ourselves into, don�t we?�

�Of course,� Severus
said.

�That�s good,� Harry
smiled. �I think it would have been
easier to take an add out in the Daily Prophet.�

�It wouldn�t have quite the
same effect,� Draco pointed out.

�True,� Harry grinned.

�Potter, Malfoy,� Severus
growled. �You are adult wizards
now. Take care to act like it or people
might begin to believe you really are deluded.�

�Well I don�t know about
Draco here,� Harry said. �But I for one
am sane.�

�That�s highly debatable
Potter,� Severus droll tone bordered on laughter.

The three fell into a
companionable silence, eating their meals and sharing a silent conversation. None of the other teachers spoke a word to
them, although they got several long and disapproving stares from Hermione and McGonagall.

Severus, Harry and Draco
finished quickly, before most of the other students and teachers. Silently as one they stood and filed back out
of the Great Hall the same way they had come in with Harry leading. They hurried back to Harry�s rooms to change
once they were out of sight.

�Pour me a brandy will you
Harry?� Draco asked stumbling out of his room in black slacks and a t-shirt.

Harry merely walked over to
the kitchen area and poured three large glasses of brandy.

�Let�s get smashed,� Draco
took a deep drink.

�Some of us have classes to
teach in the morning,� Severus scowled but drank his brandy anyway.

�Oh take sobering potion in
the morning Snape,� Harry refilled their glasses. �It�s not like you don�t have one in your
pocket.�

�I�ll have you know that I
happen to have three of them Mister Potter,� Severus pulled out three vials
from his robes. �And if you�re not nice
I won�t be sharing.�

�Fine, sorry,� Harry said
handing Severus his glass.

�Let�s just drink and be
merry while we still can,� Draco pulled the bottle from Harry�s hand and took a
pull from it. �We�ll have enough
problems in the morning from Hermione and McGonagall.�

The three shared a look. It had been worth it though, more than worth
it.
