Harry Potter: Harry Slytherin 3

Section 1 (new)

(this is a continuation of the story sections in books one and two of my re-written version of my harry slytherin story.)

Draco woke early the morning of Harry's birthday. He had no alarm, or the house elf, or anything to wake him, he just happened to be awake. He went down stairs and saw his father relaxing in his recliner.

"You're up early." Lucius says without looking.

"Just decided to be awake." Draco replies. He goes over to his dad and sits on the nearby sofa. "Is anyone else up?"

"No," Lucius replies. "Everyone else is asleep still."

"I sort of feel a disturbance." draco says.

Lucius nods. "Things are tense right now." he glances at draco. "Sirius Black has escaped from azkaban."

"Bellatrix's cousin?" draco asks.

Lucius nods. "The very same." he looks at the fire again. "People are speculating Black might be after Harry to kill him."

"Why would he want to kill harry?" draco says.

"I don't think it's entirely accurate." Lucius says. "He was in Azkaban for murder. They said he was a death eater." Lucius shrugs. "But I have no evidence that he was ever in our ranks nor a spy in the least. It was said he betrayed the Potters to the dark lord."

"Did he?" draco asks.

Lucius shrugs. "As I said I have no evidence he ever worked with us. Though I really couldn't care less."

The fireplace flames flicker irritably and then who should appear from them but Arthur weasley.

Lucius stares at him coldly. "This had better be important."

Arthur nods. "I am sorry to intrude lucius but my owl was not getting through."

Lucius nods. "Did it ever occur to you that I was purposely rejecting it?" He stands up. "What do you want?"

"Well the boys have been planning a birthday party for Neville Longbottom." He explains. "When I found out mister potter shared about the same birthdate it got me thinking. Your boy and Harry risked their very lives going into the chamber last year and they saved the school."

"And?" Lucius says cocking an eyebrow.

"Well I have been, Speaking with Molly and we thought... had jade not come across that old book it could have easily been Ginny that was lying half dead in the chamber." He glances at draco. "Anyway it was that we decided to invite the kids over for some cake."

"You mean my three?" Lucius says, raising an eyebrow. "Draco doesn't mingle with mudbloods."

Draco is a bit disappointed. His family had raised him to be cruel to those who are different. Last year he had let that cruelty seep out when he let loose a barrage of, albeit accurate, insults at Faith Spiritwalker, who had up until then sort of been his friend.

Arthur nods. "I see. And the other two?"

Lucius frowns. "They are still asleep."

"I can go get harry." Draco says.

"Do that." Lucius says. "I must speak to Arthur privately."

Draco hurries upstairs to Harry's room, he knocks. "Potter?"

"What?" Harry mumbles.

"You have company downstairs." Draco says.

"Company?" Harry questions opening the door hurriedly. "Who?"
