Chapter 1: Harry and Draco

Harry's Pov:

It was officially time to go back to Hogwarts for my 7th year. Once again, I had to stay at the Dursleys, which was hell, and I was beaten and molested every single day by the one and only Vernon Dursley. Occasionally Dudley joined in, but I could tell that he really didn't want to. Dudley and I had grown quite close after he had woken me from a nightmare about the war and then comforted me. After that, he told me about the fact that he had magic and had secretly stolen some of my old books and taught himself. When he told me this, I asked him how he was doing it since he didn't have a wand. He then told me the story of how he ended up in Diagon alley when just wandering around London.

Once bought out of my head, I just looked ahead at the bench in front of me till my emotional support dog, Max, nudged my leg with his muzzle. It was only then I'd realised that I had been having a panic attack and when I realised it only made it worse. I slid down off the bench, down to the floor so that max could try to give me comfort from her heat and try to bring me back to reality. When that didn't work max went off to get help from the nearest person. The next thing I know is someone picked me p and cuddled me into the chest so that my head was on their heart. I didn't know who it was until I heard, "sh potter. It's gonna be alright, Harry your gonna be alright." It was Draco Malfoy, my sworn enemy who I had a crush on. I slowly calmed down. I calmed down so much that I slowly fell asleep still calming down by the sound of his heartbeat. The next thing I know I was being gently woken up by Draco kissing my head and gently whispering that I needed to wake up to put our robes over our clothes. As 8th years we were allowed to wear casual appropriate clothes under our robes instead of school uniform. I just shook my head and tried to bury my head into Draco's chest, but he didn't let me do it. Eventually, I let him put his robes on and I put mine on. We soon got into the great hall for the opening feast but before any of the 8th years could sit down, Professor McGonagall said that we all had to be resorted. I immediately started having a panic attack, and before max could even do anything my hand was grabbed by the one and only Draco Malfoy. This only made me like him more for who he was. We were resorted one by one and eventually, it was Draco's turn, he was immediately put in Slytherin. Once he had let go of my hand, I immediately sort comfort from max that he was there to give. It was soon my turn, the hat was put on my head and after saying that I didn't want to be put in Gryffindor, the hat shouted Slytherin. I slowly walked to the very end of the Slytherin table and max put his head in my lap. Things were being shouted at me but the one that got me the most was the shouting of, 'you were meant to be our friend you pathetic traitor.' That one really got to me, I stood up with a fuming look on my face and shouted, 'and you were meant to be my friends but turns out you decided to steal from me and betray my trust, and you Dumbledore, stealing me from my family just to put me with the potters, that was cruel even for you.' I just sat down and stared at the table, too scared to say anything. I felt someone sit down to me and it just happened to be my crush, Draco Malfoy. He looked at me with a proud look on my face. I just blushed at looked back at the table waiting for dumblewhore to finish his speech and say the words that make the food appear. Once the main meal and dessert had finished, Draco led me to the Slytherin common room and showed me the dormitories, which I was happy about because I was sharing a room with Draco. I sat on the end of my bed and Draco stood in front of me asking me what happened in the hall. Before I could answer a prefect called us down and apparently snape talked to all his snakes before they went to bed. I went down with Draco and sat next to him on one of the sofas and then just looked at snape. He was looking at me with a curious look on his face. He said his usual stuff (according to Draco) but then at the end, he asked me and Draco and max to come to his office in half an hour.

Half an hour later

It had been half an hour and Draco, max, and I were on our way to snape's office. Draco knocked on the door and snape opened it. We took a seat when offered one. We then talked about what happened in the great hall and I told them everything that happened with the Dursleys, what happened when I went to Gringotts over the 6 weeks holiday. I told them how my parents weren't lily and James potter that they were actually Severus Snape-Potter-Riddle, James Snape-Potter-Riddle and Tom Marvolo Snape-Potter-Riddle. Severus looked at me with a look and I realised that his memories had been erased. I told him to go get tom and go to Gringotts to get their memories back so that they could be their own selves. Severus then flooed to Malfoy manor and I and Draco were left sitting on the couch. I didn't realise how cold I had gotten to be, so I quickly but quietly cuddled up to Draco and the next thing I knew I was asleep listening to Draco's heartbeat once again.
