How Is This Happening? [Harry Potter]

Chapter Five

Typing this when I'm supposed to be doing finals XD

DRACO'S P.O.V

When I awoke the next morning, I could feel an arm around me. I opened my eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them, then looked to my side.

Harry had his arm under my waist, so no one could see that he had been snuggling me. I sighed and sat up, looking out the window. the sun had only just risen; it looked to be about 7:30 in the morning.

A fresh coat of snow covered the ground, not yet touched by the feet of wizards, or the little gnomes in the garden.

I took my clothes from yesterday and quickly got dressed, and was about to put on my shoes when Harry started to shift on the bed next to me.

I put my shoe down and shook his shoulder lightly. "Harry. Get up, it's morning."

His voice was muffled against the pillow, but I could still hear him. "Noooooo, five more minutes..."

I scoffed and continued to put my shoes on, then quietly made my way downstairs to the kitchen.

Mrs. Weasley was already up and bustling around the kitchen, making breakfast for everyone. I knocked on the doorway and made her jump slightly. "Good morning, Mrs Weasley. Did you sleep well?"

"Oh, Draco dear, yes, I slept fine. What are you doing awake, the boys won't be up for another hour or so." She replied, skinning some potatoes for breakfast.

I walked over to her, taking one of the peelers and began to help her. "I'm usually up before now, I slept in today."

"Dear, you don't need to help me, you go sit at the table." She insisted, gesturing to where I had sat before.

I shook my head. "No way, I'm your guest and it looks like you could use some help. I've never touched one of these things in my life, but I'm sure it can't be that hard, right?" I chuckled, beginning to peel a potato.

She shook her head, chuckling, but didn't say no. We both peeled the potatoes, myself getting a few cuts on my hands. After they were peeled, I took a knife and cut them into four pieces, putting them in a bowl.

"Thank you, Draco. Breakfast will be done quicker this way." She smiled at me, and I smiled in return.

"That's the idea. Maybe the scent will wake the others up."

TIMESKIP

When everything was done, I had minimal cuts on my hands, and I happily sat at the table.

All of a sudden, Harry and Ron came racing down the stairs, obviously to the smell of bacon and eggs.

"Mum, what's for breakfast?" Ron asked, sitting at the table.

"Well I dunno, Ron, what do you think?" I said, raising a blonde eyebrow with a smirk.

He looked surprised to see me sitting there. "Uhh... Bacon and eggs?"

"And potatoes and pancakes." I added.

Harry sat himself next to me, and gave me a small smile. I blushed lightly and looked away, giving myself a bit of everything.

He did the same, but took a bit more than I did. Ron, on the other hand, piled his plate high with everything. Honestly, where does it all go?!

TIMESKIP (AGAIN)

After breakfast was over, the twins decided that it was a good time to have a snowball fight. And, since they had become legal last April, they used their magic to an advantage. I just wanted to watch from the window, seeing the others get soaked to the bone with cold water, but things didn't go as planned as a snowball soon hit me in the chest.

I scoffed and threw one back at George, the culprit who threw it at me in the first place. It hit him in the leg. "Be careful, would you? I don't have a change of clothes."

"Oh come on, Draco! Have a little fun! It won't kill ya!" The twins said in unison. I laughed and shook my head.

"No thanks, I prefer dry clothes over wet ones." I continued to watch them until everyone came inside, soaking the floor with the freezing water from the melted snow.

After everyone went to their rooms and got changed, we all had lunch. After talking for about an hour, my parents showed up. Harry, Ron and Hermione glanced at me, but their gaze didn't last long.

"I see that Draco got along with you nicely." Father sneered. "We shall be off now. Thank you for 'looking after him.'" He grabbed me by the wrist and yanked me up so I was standing, let go, and walked out the door again.

I rubbed my wrist and thanked the Weasleys for having me, said goodbye, and walked out the door with Mother. We apparated back to the manor and as soon as we stepped inside, I was bombarded with questions from father.

"How did it go? Do the brats trust you now? Do they have a plan to thwart the ministry? Answer me, boy!"

I thought back to how they treated me, how hospitable the Weasleys were to me, and then all of a sudden I thought of Harry. Surprisingly enough, he was the nicest to me... I came back to reality and answered him. "Yes, they trust me now. And I didn't get far enough to know if Dumbledore has a plan to overthrow the ministry, so I'll have to get more information during school."

Father nodded. "Good. Keep it up." And without another word, he swept his billowing cloak behind him and went back out the door.

I sighed and looked at Mother. "Mother, I-I have something to tell you."

Well. I finally finished this chapter XD please don't hate me for it being so long. I've been busy okay! It's a little shorter than I'd like it to be, but I feel like it was just a filler chapter. Comment what you guys thought, I'd appreciate it. Should I start a QOTD? It sounds like a good idea :3

QOTD: how is school going? I haven't started yet (I start Tuesday, the 6th) and everyone is complaining. Let me know in full detail!! I wanna know :D
