Resorted

Chapter Nine

Everyone filed in: so did Ron and Ginny. Harry couldn't remove them as they know everything, he either has to put up with it, or be tortured by Umbridge. Ron and Ginny huddled together in the back along with people who agreed with them. Occasionally, everyone who supported Harry and Draco glanced in their direction while Harry explained what they were doing.

"Right then." Harry clapped his hands together, "today, we are going back to basics. The first spell we will be doing is Expelliamus. This is because it is a nice, easy one to ease us into it." Harry looked at all the faces who agreed and some, they weren't as friendly, "Any questions?" He added with a sassy tone staring to the group in the corner.

"Yeah, I have one." Cho's friend, Marieta said. She was with Ron's group while Cho was standing with the twins upfront by Harry, "Why should we listen to you? You're going to hell anyway." She stated more than asked.

"Well, if you must know, I am the most experienced here in Defence Against the Dark Arts. No matter my sexuality, you need me. Do I make myself clear?" Harry asserted. "Do I make myself clear?" He shouted louder to the whole group. None of the people in the back nodded, but they didn't comment either. "Good. Now pair up and start practicing, you can leave in an hour."

"Hey Harry! Just don't listen to them lot, they're all narrow minded." Zacharias Smith said before pairing with another Hufflepuff.

Draco ans Harry threw the disarming charm at each other and at the end of the hour, Harry and Draco were tied.

"Thank you. The next meeting, I will change the date ans time. You are all excused!" Harry confidently told the group.

Harry's POV:
We arrived back at an empty common room at 01:30 ready to collapse on our beds. Draco didn't manage to make it to his, instead he fell on top of me already snoring.

It was morning and Blaise had to yank us both out of the bed because, we didn't want to face the mountains of letters coming our way.

Eventually, we walked into the Great Hall holding hands for everyone to see as our relationship was already out there. We sat next to each other and Draco rested his head on my shoulder when Umbridge marches over. "Proclamation number 26 forbids students in a relationship to be closer than 6 inches Mr Potter, Mr Malfoy." Her squeaky voice said. Every Slytherin's eyes were on her with the meanest, most hateful look.

"Actually Professor, Proclamation Number 26 says, and I quote: 'Boys and Girls are not permitted to be within six inches of each other.' However, the rule does not mention anything about a boy and a boy or a girl and a girl." I returned. Her face turned pink and she knew I was right. Slytherin's around us cooed and one shouted over to me 'Nice one Potter!'. "Very well, Mr Potter. Have a good day." She said through gritted teeth then marched off to the teachers table. Dumbledore had not come out of his office in months meaning he had no idea about Draco and I, and I don't know if he'll even accept us.

"First Howler goes to Potter!" I heard someone shout from the Gryffindor table. They were right, in fact, there was more than one. "Harry, don't open them." Draco said.
"They'll explode either way, may as well do it myself." I said picking up one in a murky, pink envelope.
"Harry James Potter!" Immediately I knew who's voice that was, it was none other than the caring Mrs Weasley, "I cannot believe I let you into my house! Don't dare ever associate yourself with my family again! That means Bill, Charle, Ron and Ginny, considering the twins and Percy agree with you. You and the twins are not family anymore! I'm glad your parents are no longer here, they don't have to see their dissap-" it was cut short by a Slytherin burning the paper.

"Can't say I didn't expect mum to abandon us." Fred said said.
"Same, but what will we do now?" George asked Fred.
"We've always got the business George, and we might have Percy if he comes around." Fred Patted George on the back. Eventhough they won't admit it, they were terrified of the world they were left to see for themselves.
