The Real Truth
Series 1 Chapter 15
Harry and Ron made their way down to breakfast, the had both woken up late and were running through the halls just so they wouldn't miss it. When they arrived they filled in the seats the Hermione had saved for them. When Harry sat down and looked in front of him he quickly looked away and shot a glare at Hermione who had a smile on her face, looking back at Harry. Draco was right in front of him at the Slytherin table.
"You did this on purpose." Harry accused her.
"I don't know what you mean." Hermione said innocently.
Harry rolled his eyes. The twins leaned over the table.
"Get ready for a show." They told him.
Owls swooped down, delivering mail to the students. Harry recognized the Weasleys owl as it landed in front of Ginny. One look at the letter and Ginny shot up from her seat with a little screech. It was a howler.
Harry smirked, "You told Molly?"
Fred and George nodded.
"Ginny you better open it! It'll only get worse if you don't!" Ron yelled amused from across then table, gaining the attention of those close enough to hear him.
Hesitantly, Ginny opened the letter.
"GINEVRA WEASLEY!" Molly's voice boomed across the hall, everyone fell silent to listen. "HOW DARE YOU CAUSE HARRY AND HERMIONE ALL THAT TROUBLE! DO YOU REALIZE THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! NOW THE QUESTION OF WHO HARRY'S MATE IS AND IF IT'S HERMIONE IS ALL IVER THE DAILY PROFIT! THE POOR KIDS ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR SELFISH BEHAVIOR! YOU WILL APOLOGIZE FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID THIS INSTANCE OR SO HELP ME YOUBG LADY YOU ARE GROUNDED UNTIL YOU MOVE OUT!" The letter turned in Harry and Hermione's direction, "Harry and Hermione dears, I am so sorry for Ginny's unexceptionable behavior." Then tore itself apart.
Ginny ran from the hall, some of her friends following, some staying behind, seemingly not sure of what to do.
"Bloody hell! That was worse then the one I got second year!" Ron exclaimed.
The hall that had been silent heard Ron's outburst. Most of the Slytherin started laughing, some kids from the other houses let out a small laugh, Harry being one of them.
He looked at the twins, "You have no idea how bad I want to high five you guys right now."
The twins smirked and gave Harry a miniature solute.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way to the seventh floor underneath Harry's invisibility cloak. Harry and Hermione had dropped their glamours, Harry adding an extra to cover his scar, and had given Ron one to appear to be a tan brunette. They had all even been able to borrow Ravenclaw robes thanks to Luna. Once the reached the spot Voldemort had mentioned they saw Snape standing there, but Harry almost froze on the spot when he saw who he had with him. Draco Malfoy.
"What is he doing here?!" Harry whispered.
No one answered and they continued to walk up to them. Harry threw off his invisibility cloak, surprising the two.
"What is he doing here?" Harry asked Snape, not even looking at Draco.
"The dark lord saw it fit for his closest inner circle member's son to get the training as well. You two also have a record of goofing off as kids."
Harry rolled his eyes. "When we were kids, he's a prat now."
"Hey!" Draco interjected.
Ron turned to him, "What are you gonna do Malfoy? Tell you daddy?"
Draco glared at him. "Who are you to say anything?"
"That's none of your business."
"Enough." Snape told them. "Everyone inside now. Before we get caught."
When Harry passed Draco he looked at him from the corner of his eye. He quickly shook his head, clearing out unwanted thoughts.
The room was wide open in the middle. The walls were lined with books and Snape grabbed a few.
"We won't be working out of books here, as you will do enough of that in the toads class." Snape told then sharply. "You will be casting the spells here and in your free time reading from these. I expect you to learn and master a new spell every day at the least. We will meet here for two hours every day and if anyone asks it's detention."
"How can we master a spell in two hours?" Hermione asked.
"You may not be able to, Hadrian should. He revived a two year early creature inheritance and his magic is strong. Seeing as he's a Ravenclaw like yourself, he should have at least some of a mind to learn the spells."
"Yeah, I'm not in Ravenclaw." Harry said. "Borrowed robes so you would know my house. Don't want to be found out."
"How would you get robes from a house that is not you're own. I am not a dimwit."
Hadrian shrugged. "I've seen evidence that goes against that statement, and I dunno Snape. Maybe I want you to think I'm not in Ravenclaw because I actually am, or maybe I want you to think I'm in Ravenclaw because I'm actually not. Who knows."
Draco almost laughed at Snape's expression.
"You're lucky I'm loyal to your father Hadrian, or I would have cursed you by now. Godson or not."
"Oh really, I thought you were a spy for Dumbledore?" Ron said.
"That's what the old coot thinks."
Harry almost smiled. "Whatever Snape. Let's not butt heads and get on with learning."
The rest of the lesson Harry refused to even glance at Draco, and it was making the teen mad. When Draco had gotten his father after an owl swooped in an open widow, delivering a letter from Hadrian to the dark lord, Draco was actually exited. He didn't really remember the boy but he'd heard stories from the inner circle about their lords son and how he and Draco hung out all the time, well, when Hadrian wasn't with his twin. When Snape informed him that he'd be getting Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons with Hadrian, Draco was thrilled to see his friend again, but Hadrian hated him. First Harry now Hadrian.
Draco looked at Hadrian, his jet-black hair fell to his jawline, his features sharp, his pale, creamy skin. Draco shook his head and turned away. There was no doubt that Hadrian looked good, after all, he was part Veela, but there was something else that pulled Draco towards him, the same kind of pull that pulled him towards Harry. Draco, who was waiting for his turn to cast the spell, paused to think. Harry had and invisibility cloak, Hadrian had an invisibility cloak, Harry was always surrounded by Ron and Hermione, Hadrian had his two friends with him, a guy and a girl. They had known him, Hadrian called him a prat. Then the all too familiar pull towards him. Could... could Hadrian be Harry?
