Draco Malfoy carried the last box inside his new home, it was a small one bedroom cosy cottage just across the Burrow. The ministry had found the place for him so Mr.Weasley could keep an eye on him properly.

He looked out of the window and felt the cool breeze gaze his skin. He was elated, he felt free. He could live his life on his own terms.

His father was sentenced to Azkaban for nearly 50 years and he had left his mother with his grandmother.

She did not deserve to live with him. She had never stood up for him, she had never taken a stand for him when he needed her but he couldn't help but miss her.

He knew what she had done for him in the Forbbiden forest. She was the only one who had shown him some kindness in the mess that his family was.

But it was for the best he thought, they both needed some time off. He got out his wand to clear off dust and dirt on the furniture.

Most of his morning was spent in unpacking his stuff and personalising his new home.

After 2-3 hour,  finally he thumped on his sofa exhausted with all the exercise but when he looked around the living room he was satisfied with the way his new abode now looked.

He sat up suddenly remembering it was the last date today for sending his form to the Healer school. He opened his green folder and took out a white parchment which had a huge logo of a bone and a wand entwined together on top.

*************

Hermione Granger looked through her filled form again to check if she had left out anything.

"There is going to be a lot of studying involved. Are you sure about this?" Ginny asked wearily eyeing Hermione and the form.

"I know, but I really want to be a Healer. Imagine how many people I would be able to help." She replied.

"Healing is a great career option honey. You ll do great" said Mrs Weasley smiling from beside her, folding the day's Daily Prophet.

Just then the door opened and Harry, Ron and the twins entered carrying broomsticks on their shoulders.

"Looks like that git Malfoy has moved in already"said Fred.

"Wanna have some fun?" Asked George pulling out a green pill which obviously was one of their very new invention for joke shop they owned.

"No George he is our responsibility for the time being, we are only supposed to keep an eye on him no funny business" said Mrs. Weasley sternly.

"But think about it Mum, he has troubled all your children throughout their entire schooling.

He called Hermione a Mudblood, fought Harry at any chance he got, he called us blood traitors, taunted us on being poor and tried to get us expelled multiple times.

Also not to forget he plotted to kill Dumbledore. Why should we behave?" Ron said getting all red in the face.

"Well there is a first for everything,  I agree with you Ron for the first time" said Fred.

"Don't forget he saved us from Bellatrix."Harry said eyeing everyone.

"That git is thick in the head, he did not recognize you Harry and that doesn't change the million things he has done over the years" said Ron trying his hardest to make everyone belive it.

Harry thought it hard to argue, they unlike him did not know the truth. He knew without knowing the truth it was nearly an impossible task to stop the Weasleys from harrasing Draco.
