"Where are the people in the order? Surely they wouldn't let you guys go back on your own." Draco asked but he wasn't looking for them; he knew if anyone saw him then he'd be on the streets.
"We'll be taking the Knight bus to 12 Grimmauld Place." Harry replied pushing his cargo round a corner waiting for the Knight Bus. "I can't believe we have to get on with you!" Ginny scowled turning to Ron.

Comments like that appeared frequently through the journey on the Knight bus to The Order's Headquarters. "Hey Harry Potter! Good to see you again!" The Knight Buses chauffeur said, "I've read the papers. I'm happy for you and Malf-Black, sorry Mr Black." Stanley corrected himself.
"Please, Stan, call me Draco. We've known each other for years, under not so good circumstances but we know each other none the less." Stan had taken Draco to places when his biological father would not let him out.

Once they arrived, Harry had given a slip of paper for Draco, Pansy and Blaise to read. Once they did, all the kids walked to the entrance allowing Ginny, Ron, Fred and George, and Hermione to go first. You'll be fine Harry." Hermione consoled. Draco grabbed Harry's hand for encouragement and then the four Slytherins walked in. "I'm not too sure about this Harry." Pansy said staying close between Draco and Blaise.

"Harry! I didn't think I'd see you till the summer break!" Sirius cheered gleefully and hugging Harry not noticing the three other Slytherins who stayed silent. "Harry, why are they here?" Sirius noticed the three kids cowering behind Harry. "And why is he here?" Harry's Godfather pointed directly at Draco.
"They can't go home. Draco doesn't have a place to go, or haven't you been reading the Daily Prophet?" Harry asked trying to distract Sirius' gaze.

"No prongslet, I haven't. Would you care to enlighten me?" The man folded his arms starring directly into Draco's soul as he spoke to Harry.
"Draco Black is here because his father had disowned him Padfoot." Remus appeared from the doorway holding Sirius by the waist, "He and Harry are together, Draco's parents don't accept the fact his son is with Harry, therefore, he abandoned him." Remus explained and the expression in Sirius' face softened slightly.
"So did Mrs Weasley, Ginny, Ron, Mr Weasley and I think Charlie and Bill but I haven't spoken to them yet." Harry added sassily.

"The Weasley's don't accept you?" Sirius shouted, "they don't accept you but they accept us!" He ranted, "Oh, Molly. Just the person I am looking for, care to explain?"

Molly had been listening from the staircase waiting the moment she could interrupt. Instead of being warm and welcoming like she always was, she set the atmosphere of alienation and apartheid. "You two are adults, you can do what you want even if I don't agree with it." Molly turned to the younger couple, "you two are kids and I do not appreciate you brainwashing Harry!" She fired. Draco's face went to the look it was in third year and was about to launch at Molly.
"You know Padfoot, Moony, this isn't going to work. Draco and I will go to the Dursley's for the break before anything goes wrong." Sirius was about to interrupt, "Don't Sirius. You know this is the right thing to do, we need the Weasley's in the Order." Harry finished grabbing Draco's hand and leading him out.

"You two stay here, you guys will be fine. I'll owl you ok?" Harry said to Pansy and Blaise.
"Alright mate, just, be safe?" Blaise concerned. Both Draco and Harry hugged Blaise, Pansy and Hermione goodbye, then it was time for Sirius and Remus. Harry hugged them automatically, he didn't want to go but, it was the right thing to do. Draco stuck out his hand for Sirius to shake and he did, Mr Black did the same for Remus. Surprisingly, Remus pulled him in to a hug which Draco reciprocated. "Keep Harry safe with those wretched Muggles. Try to contain your anger and not spell them." Remus whispered to Draco who nodded in reply.
"Have fun Harry!" George called.
"You'll have Draco for that!" Fred sniggered.

Regretfully, Harry and Draco stepped outside and was whisked away by the Knight Bus to number 4 Private Drive.

Pansy's POV:
"How dare you allow them to leave!" I screamed at Sirius and he remained calm, that terrified me.
"Harry was right, he needed to go so the Weasley's stay here." Sirius' voice lowered, "you can make their lives hell if you so wish." We smirk to one another and I agreed.
