Once everything was settled Narcissa and Sirius got Harry and Draco away from the others.

"What's this about?" Draco asked

"school. Dumbledore feels it's best for the two of you to stay with us until the trial is over. He says he'll get your class work and books sent here if you so choose to stay." Narcissa told her son.

Harry looked at his godfather. "Do you think this is a good idea? I mean sending Ron and Hermione back when everyone will want to know what happened today."

"Unfortunately Molly and Hermione's father say they need to go back to school. We're giving you the decision. Dumbledore feels it safest to have everyone in the same place. Which is why Molly and Arthur will be staying here for the remainder of the trail." Sirius explained

"This would take a lot of my worry away. And Remus could help teach us." Draco thought aloud

"Remus has already said he'd be happy to help you." Sirius nodded

Draco looked at Harry his mind made up. He had to stay with his mother. He could see in Harry's eyes that it was no argument. They would stay.

"We'll stay." Harry smiled

"I'll go let Dumbledore know. Hermione and Ron will be going back Sunday evening." Sirius said

"I'm glad you're both staying. It will be easier on me knowing you're both safe here." Narcissa smiled

"Well we just had the conversation about Draco's worry for you. This will give you both a bit of peace. I wouldn't ask Draco to choose between me or his mother. That wouldn't be right."

"Harry, you're a good person. Even with all that's happened to you. You still find it in you to be a good man. Most people that grow up the way you did would turn mean and bitter but you haven't." Narcissa told him

"I didn't  think me being mean would change anything about my situation. It would just make people like me even less than they seemed to." Harry shrugged

"I'm glad you have that outlook. That's a good way to look at it." She smiled.

Harry smiled back glad this woman whom he previously thought was just another death eater had turned out to be a woman in a horrible situation that hated the dark arts.
