When Harry and Ron came downstairs the following morning, they were surprised to find Dragon asleep on the couch. Dobby had brought up the morning coffee and Ron filled a mug, then held the aromatic brew under Dragon's nose until the older man reached out for the mug. He took a drink of the hot black liquid and then sleepily cracked open his eyes. "What are you doing down here?" asked Harry. Dragon's eyes popped all the way open. "Uh-" He was saved from answering by the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Three sets of eyes swung toward the stairwell, just in time to see Gryff descending, holding onto a very sleepy Ginny's hand. Ron and Harry's eyes nearly popped out of their heads and their jaws dropped open as Gryff placed a kiss on Ginny's forehead and then sent her toward the girls' dormitory with a gentle push. "Morning, Ron," she mumbled, as she passed them and disappeared into the other stairwell.

Gryff's eyes moved to the two boys and he raised an eyebrow. Harry's mouth snapped shut, but Ron continued to gape like a fish, his mouth opening and closing, noiselessly. Nodding, as if he'd expected as much, Gryff walked to the coffee tray, poured himself a cup and sat down on the arm of Dragon's couch. "Good morning." "I can see that," said Dragon, with a grin. Gryff just took a drink of his coffee, but Dragon saw the faint blush that rose to his cheeks. "Gryff," said Harry, slowly, but was unable to finish whatever he was going to say, because Fred and George Weasley chose that moment to come tumbling down the stairs, laughing like mad. A moment later, Phoenix came hurtling after them and tackled George round the middle, dragging him back to the floor. Niki trailed down the stairs at a much slower pace, glancing at the three Weasleys and shaking her head a little. "What happened?" asked Hermione, appearing from the other side of the room. "Fred and George set up a trip wire right outside our door. Phoenix got caught in it as we came out of the room," Niki said. The others all chuckled, except Ron, who was still staring openmouthed at Gryff. The three brothers were still wrestling on the floor of the Common Room when Niki announced that it was time to go downstairs to the Great Hall so they could get something to eat before classes. Ginny came down the stairs in a rush, her face flushed as she pulled on her robes over her skirt and sweater. Gryff rose and smiled and she moved quickly to his side. Phoenix spotted them and stopped suddenly, his hands still around George's throat. George followed his gaze and grabbed Fred's robes, to get his attention. All four of the male Weasleys were staring at Gryff and Ginny as he leaned down, lightly kissed her mouth and led her from the room. Phoenix gaped, silently, looking much like his younger self at the moment. Fred and George just kept blinking, like they were afraid they weren't awake.

"Phoenix, come on. We've got class. You two had better hurry up as well. You only have 20 minutes to get to the classroom," Niki announced. Their stupefied gazes swung to her and Phoenix rose to his feet and crossed the room to her side. "Did you see-" "Yes. Hurry up now. We'll be late." With that, Niki ushered him out of the room, leaving the others to follow at their own pace.

Unsure how to take this new development, Phoenix eyed Gryff warily through most of Defense Against The Dark Arts class. Fred and George were also in the first class of the morning ant stt stonily through Niki's beginning speech, before following the group outside to practice counter curses. Phoenix was glaring at Gryff's back when a hand slapped him on the back of the head and he spun around. "Ouch! What the hell was that for?" "Leave him alone, Phoenix. Think how it would be if it had been Niki we lost back then. What would you have done, faced with Hermione?" Dragon asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "It's not the same. Ginny was younger than us, even then," Phoenix argued. "A whole year. Big deal. I'm warning you, Phoenix, leave it be, or you may find yourself without your best friend. I've never seen Gryff this happy since we lost Ginny. This may be exactly what we need to make him care enough to beat Voldemort. If he has this Ginny, here, and has another chance to save her, he'll do it, even if he dies trying," Dragon predicted. Phoenix sighed. "I suppose you're right. She's still my little sister though. He better not hurt her." Dragon gave him a look as if to say "are you kidding?" Phoenix shrugged, knowing he was right, that Gryff would die before he ever did anything to hurt Ginny.

For once in her life, Hermione Granger was not paying attention in class. Her eyes were on the group across the field, where their future selves were teaching the 7th Year Gryffindors and Slytherins. Her gaze fell on Dragon and she found herself studying him, the proud tilt of his chin, the strong lines of his shoulders and chest, the chiseled perfection of his jaw. His mouth was full and inviting and curved into an amused grin as he watched the Weasley twins perform simultaneous Jelly Legs curses on each other, then collapse to the ground in a fit of laughter. His hair was loose today, falling around his face and down his back in glorious silver blond disarray. She couldn't quite identify that strange, fluttery feeling in her stomach, nor was she sure she wanted to. This was Draco Malfoy, after all. Sure, he was older and he was different, but he was still Draco. Then again, she had always admired Draco's brains and there was no denying he was gorgeous. Beautiful, powerful and now, honorable, it was no wonder he'd caught her attention, she reasoned.

"Is summat wrong, "Mione?" came Hagrid's heavily accented voice. Cheeks flaming, Hermione turned back to her teacher and friend, who was in the process of trimming a hippogryff's claws. "No, Hagrid, sorry," she said, quickly, earning sideways glances from Harry and Ron. On the other side of the group, at the center of the Slytherins, Draco caught her eye, briefly, raised an inquisitive eyebrow and then quickly looked away. She flushed again and tried to focus on Buckbeak, the hippogryff whose life she had once helped save. The majestic animal blinked large golden eyes at her, then inclined his head, just a little, and Hermione had the distinct, unsettling feeling that Beaky knew exactly whom she had been looking at and what she had been thinking. Her brown eyes narrowed, suspiciously. Sometimes it seemed that they gave Hagrid's Magical Creatures way too little credit.
