CHAPTER ONE
Seamus is a whore, everyone knows that. But at their second Saturday since school start, at the Great Hall during breakfast, Blaise and Draco stepped in talking about things that he will never be part of. While Draco and Blaise were in their way to the Slytherin table, Seamus notice for the first time, how good muggle clothes fit into Blaise Zabini.
“Damn you Zabini, you’re so fucking hot!!” He though drooling like a girl, he looked away to face Dean, who was now trying to grab a plate full of fried sausage next to Lavender.
‘‘SPLASH’’
He missed the jar of pumpkin juice pushing it with his left elbow and spilling it out through all over the Gryffindor table, causing a total mess and the laughs of the Slytherins.
“That happens you stupid, when you don’t ask permission!!” Yelled Lavender trying to clean up her fuchsia t-shirt with a handkerchief.
“Sorry, sorry Lavender, I just…I didn’t…!” Dean tried to apologize.
“Ah! Shut the fuck up already, look at my new skirt, you ruined it!!” She yelled again standing up from the table and heading to the Gryffindors common room, leaving Dean nearly crying.
Harry and Ron were finishing their Potions assignment in the Gryffindors common room when the portrait opened and Lavender entered the room like a hurricane cursing under her breath, Parvati walked in following Lavender, trying to calm her down.
“Don’t worry Lavender it’s only pumpkin juice I can fix it”
“What’s with her??” Asked Ron puzzled watching the whole scene with his quill nearly inches from the ink bottle.
“No idea! Girls stuff” Said Harry absently looking for the hundred time to the window “Damn it, when does that bloody bird will arrived! It’s been a month, a fucking month since we wrote to Hermione, and she hasn’t got back yet” Harry shouted, making Ron spill all the content of the ink bottle on his Potions work.
“Take it easy mate, maybe she’s tired, it’s a long trip from here to Egypt , and like you said she’s a “Bloody bird” not an airplague” said Ron matter of factly.
“A what?!” Harry ask a little bit confused “what do you mean by that?”
“Erm… you know those muggles air vehicles…” He said blushing a little.
“Oh! You mean an airplane?” Harry correct him, with a funny tone on his voice.
“Don’t say it like that, you know I’m not used to that muggle stuff” Replied Ron defensively, but laughing at himself.
~*~
“Okay now I’m the bad guy, what does she thinks she is!!, She’s not my fucking Mum, she’s only my cousin, I’ve only been alive for one month and exactly five days and she’s already over me!!” Sirius was cursing Molly Weasley while he was trying to catch a filthy creature that was running through the garden of “The Burrow”. Since Sirius returned from the veil he looked almost like his old self before going into Azkaban’s Prison, everyone thought that they were going nuts when they saw a dead guy walking through the doorway of the Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, but the truth was that the recently defeated Dark Lord has used that veil to kill muggles and some wizards too. When he was finally killed, only some of that recently “dead people” could return.
So, there he was being bossed around by Molly Weasley. Running like a stupid through the Weasley’s garden with a gnome laughing at him, and the sun frying the back of his neck.
“Hi Sirius, what’re you up to??”
“Shit!!” Sirius jumped “Don’t do that again Tonks, you scared the hell out of me”
“Oops! Sorry” She apologize “Anyway what are you up to, this sun is a punisher”
“You think I’m having a blast here? What it looks like? I’m trying to catch that fucking gnome over there, I’ve been chasing him like half an hour now, and I swear to the Gods that I’m going to AK that bloody creature!” Sirius said, half yelling half hissing and with a loon face plotting against his little new #1 enemy topping Kreacher.
“Take it easy man! It’s only a gnome, besides you’re chasing him the muggle way, aren’t you a wizard or what? Just retrieve it with the accio spell; it’s not a big deal” Tonks said matter of factly. “Here I’ll do it for you, acc…”
“DON’T YOU DARE NYMPHADORA TONKS!!!” Yelled Sirius with his wand pointing at her, ready to jinx her “This is my quest, my battle against that bloody fucking gnome, and you’re not coming here from wherever you were, and take away my victory, no!! I don’t think so”
Saying this, he was going to cast the Accio spell, but when he opened his mouth…
“Accio gnome!” Mrs. Weasley said through the kitchen door, grabbing the gnome with her hands and giving Sirius a disappointed look “Well Sirius I thought that you would be more efficient de-gnoming my garden, because even Ginny can handle a few gnomes, but as I said before, I only thought”
Sirius held his tongue in the last moment, was about to give her a piece of his mind, but thought it better. He had never de-gnome a fucking garden in his god loving life how the hell he was supposed to know, Tonks give him a sorry look and went inside the house.
At dinner, Tonks called for Sirius who was silent all the afternoon
“Hey Sirius dinner time” she called out
“Not hungry thanks” he replied absently
“Are you alright?” now she was curious, Sirius Black saying no to food is not something that you live to see everyday
“Yeah” he said giving her a small smile and lay back down in the bed sighing deeply
“Sirius Phineas Black get your ass down here!” Molly shouted from downstairs. “NOW!!”
Sirius got up from the bed and walked the stairs with a dark look on his face “What the hell she wants now, give me a lecture about eating habits, I think that my crazy yelling bitch for a mother portrait would be better sometimes…well consider and dismissed” “Yes, Molly?”
Molly was already with a hand on her hip and the other holding a spatula “what’s with you Sirius?”
“I’m getting back to Grimmauld” he said quietly
To say that Molly was shocked was an understament, her mouth hung open and she had dropped the spatula, gapping like a fish. After a minute Molly half regained her composure and ask “why on the world?” she sound hurt.
“I just…” he didn’t finish because in the same moment, his lifetime friend Remus Lupin stepped into the house
“Afternoon” looking both Sirius and Molly “Am I interrupting?”
“Oh no Remus dear wanna join us for dinner” she asked casually just like nothing had happened
“Of course I’ll be there in a minute” Remus said giving her a smile encouraging her to go, so she did and he turns to his friend “What’s happening?”
“Nothing” Sirius said simply “Why always something has to happen?”
“I know you Sirius” while Sirius mumbled “More that I would like”
And Remus chuckled “So what’s going on?”
“Nothing” and went to the bedroom
~*~
“What’s with you?” finally Ron snapped
“Huh” suddenly Seamus head shot up
“You had been in the clouds all day mate” he said matter-of-factly
“Uh…umm it’s nothing” standing up “I’m going to take fresh air”
While going, left, right, down, left, straight and whatever to get out he was deep in thought “You got to be kidding, there’s not bloody way that muggle clothes could fit in that man so good damn I’m hard just thinking of his tight jeans Ohh and that shirt I love it, he looks so punk I just want him to fucking shagged me right in he middle of the Great Hall Ohh yeah that would have…” and something has wrecked his train of thoughts. Seamus looked up just to find that he crashed on Blaise bloody Zabini’s chest.
“Watch it Finnigan”
“Same to you” locking his eyes with the brown skinned Slytherin
“What are you looking at, disgusting half-blood?” Said Zabini with a mocking tone.
“Well, first of all that you look so fucking hot in that muggle outfit, two that I want to go with you inside of that broom closet and rip them off, and three, damn it! I’m getting horny just thinking about it…”
“Peeves…” Said Seamus quietly to Zabini, and trying to hold his laugh.
“Peeves? Are you nuts, Peeves not her…” Zabini start, but then he heard the loud “Miauh” that was coming from behind him, he turns around just to find that Peeves was actually there holding Mrs. Norris by her tail and swinging her rapidly, making big circles in middle air with her body.
“Peeves, No!” Seamus tried to stop him, but it was too late, Peeves didn’t care about the warned, and with no remorse he throw the cat against an armor, making all the parts of it fly through the corridor, and Mrs. Norris lay unconscious on the floor with a broken tail and the helmet of the armor upon her head.
“Ouch! That’s gotta hurt” Said Zabini still a little shocked “Where the hell Filch is?”
“Fuck it, I don’t care” And to an amused Blaise, Seamus walked out.
“What the hell?” Asked Blaise out loud, but Seamus was already gone through the other corridor “That bitch is crazy, fucking Gryffindors, if he thinks that I’m gonna pay for thi…”
“You!” Filch’s voice came running from the other end of the corridor.
“Shit!”
~*~
“Hey! Why the long face Zabini?” Draco had sat down in one of the seats of the Slytherin’s common room reading his latest new book (My Dragon fella)
“Why the long face you asked me? Well nothing important really, only that now I got one fucking month of detention with that stupid squib, and it wasn’t even my fault, Peeves did it, he throw Filch’s cat against that armor and I was there ‘cause that fucking half-blood shattered against me, and when all happened he ran away, that’s why I got this long face” Blaise finished panting.
“Which half-blood? There’re lots of them here at Hogwarts” Draco ask him, but he didn’t bother to raise his eyes from the book.
“That pyromaniac of Finnigan” Blaise said sitting down at one of the seats next to Malfoy “Where’s Pansy? It’s a miracle that she’s not tailing you by now”
“I AK her, she’s now floating down the Black Lake I guess”
“Really? If it’s true you’d make the whole world a big favor” Blaise stared hopefully at Draco.
“Yeah but unfortunately I couldn’t do it, so I don’t know where the hell she is and I don’t care either, I’m here minding my book and nothing else” Draco finished, leaving Blaise there looking at his book cover.
After a few minutes Zabini stared to get bored and something came through his mind, something that he and lots of students had notice.
“Hey Malfoy, did you realize that that bloody mud-blood of Granger isn’t at Hogwarts, I haven’t seen her since we came here two weeks ago”
“Yes I had, but do you think I care? Thanks the Gods for that, I hope she’s dead” Malfoy said without taking his eyes off the book.
“Ha! Don’t you try to trick me Draco Malfoy I know how you feel about her, you’re looking like an old man, you’ve been worried I know that, and you’re trying to know her whereabouts”
“THAT’S A BIG FAT LIE!!” Throwing the book away standing up and pointing Blaise with one of his pale fingers “Don’t you ever dare to say that out loud again Blaise Zabini or I swear the Gods I’ll hex you to the next century!”
“See my point? You get all tense, and…What the fuck is that?” Blaise said pointing at Draco’s face “A wrinkle!”
“WHERE, WHERE?!”
Blaise smirk “That’s for frowning”
“Fuck you, little piece of Troll shit” Malfoy shouted.
“Aw! That’s too big for me, maybe the half-giant freak”
They stared one another with a serious face and then erupted laughing.
~*~
“There’s no way I’m going there headmaster” Said Snape trying to sound polite, but his anger was almost palpable.
“Please Severus, it’s time for you and Sirius put aside all of your differences, the war it’s over, both of you fought side by side against Voldemort, and I believe that there’s no reason why both of you shouldn’t try it”
“I deny myself to do such thing headmaster” Dumbledore was ready to replied but Severus cut him off “And don’t ‘but me’ Albus”
“Ok then” Albus said smiling at him with his particular twinkle.
“Oh! I know that shity twinkle, don’t you dare Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, DON’T YOU DARE!” Severus said in one breath panting a little bit.
“Oh that’s a new one, you Severus calling me by my full name in one breath, it’s a record, don’t you think?”
“Well excuse me headmaster, I got new torture tactics to think about now, and this isn’t going anywhere, I’m killing my good cells in this conversation, good bye headmaster” Saying this he turns on his heels and left Dumbledore sitting behind his desk smiling at Fawkes.
“He will Fawkes, we just have to make them realize what’s going on” Standing up from his chair walking to Fawkes perch “And I know exactly what they need”
The bird gave him a look of concern, and let a cry slipped out its throat and with that he start burning.
~*~
Molly Weasley was confused, a little hurt too. “Why in the frigging world would Sirius return to that dark good for nothing place…well if he wants to end up deaf he will…but why? Did I say something, does he feel uncomfortable, is the bed to little…”
“Oh don’t think that much mum…”said a voice from behind her
“…You’ll burn the house” finished the other voice
“Where have you two been, you were supposed to be here for dinner” she half shout them
“You had us waiting here and we had to start without both of you and you dare to show up at this time of the night, where are your manners I thought that with the store you’ll grow responsible but I guess I was mistaken” and she said under her breath “once again”
“WHOA” both of them yell
“Stop right there” began George
“How could you say that we are not responsible we sent you a message with Errol, right Feorge?”
“That’s right Gred, we were finishing some orders at the store”
“Anyways you are late”
“Better late than never” they both replied with a huge grin on their faces.
“Dinner’s on the table eat…” both of them began to ran for the food, but Molly’s voice stop them on their tracks “You wash the dishes…Muggle way”
“MUM!”
“Eat up” going to the stairs “I’m going to finish this shit right now”
Molly was standing outside the bedroom door thinking on what he had said earlier. She knocked.
“Enter”
----------------------------------------------------------
It was 5 o’clock in the morning and Hogwarts was, for the first time quiet. Everybody was asleep except for on single seventh year student, who was making its way to the Room of Requirements. Standing in front of the naked wall the student pass three times in front of the wall asking for something.
“I need that Vanishing Cabinet, I need that Vanishing Cabinet, I need that Vanishing Cabinet”
Nothing happened. The Student tried to focus, thinking of another way to ask more clearly what he need. Eyes closed and concentrating in the wall, he asked for the second time.
“I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed, I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed, I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed”
Holding his breath, he opened his eyes slowly.
“Perfect!”
~*~
Harry woke up pretty earlier that morning, wishing that Hedwig would arrive today with news from Hermione. Everyone was asleep, and he wanted to keep it that way. He slipped out from bed trying not to make to much noise, and start dressing. It was Sunday so they were allowed to use a normal outfit. Once he was completely dress with a dark grey T-Shirt and black jeans, he got out from the dormitory heading to the common room. He didn’t notice that Lavender Brown was there.
“Good morning Harry! Up so early?” She asked.
“Oh! Hi Lavender” Harry jumped “Yeah, I couldn’t sleep, and it was no used to stay in bed” He said frowning a little. “And what are you doing here anyway?”
“Ah! Well I couldn’t sleep either I was a little worried, but it doesn’t matter, I would be okay” She answered evasively “I’ve got to go Harry see’ya later”
Saying this she went to the girl’s dormitory. Harry thought for a second “Worried about what?” But didn’t give the subject too much importance, he grabbed his school bag and pull out his quill, the ink bottle and some parchment, and began to write to Sirius.
Hi, Sirius
Hope you’re okay and enjoying your stay at The Burrow,
I wish I could be there with all of you.
Everything around here seems normal, Snape hasn’t change a bit,
since the war, he’s still being a fucking dungeons bastard.
Malfoy is the one who change, he doesn’t
bother us anymore, he’s ignoring us and I thanks the
Gods for that.
Anyway, Sirius I’m a little worried, Hedwig
hasn’t arrived yet and I’m starting to think something bad
happened to her. I send her to Egypt almost month and a half ago
with a letter to Hermione and we haven’t received news from her either,
it’s freaking us out. I thought she’ll be back by now, school’s already started
and you know how she is with that subject, anyway I’m not trying to worry you all,
but I can’t help to worry myself about her and Hedwig. Write me back anytime.
Harry
Harry finished and read the letter again. “Okay it doesn’t sound too desperate, just a little bit worried” Then he slipped the letter inside of an envelope, and then he went to the Owlery.
Several minutes later, Harry was calling for one of the school owls that was awake cleaning his feathers. He attached the letter to the owl extended leg, and then walked with him to one of the holes. The owl let go of Harry’s arm and he watch it as the black spot the owl was, flew away above the clouds, and was lost from view.
“Hmm! Hope they know where she is, but if they don’t, I’m going to look for her myself” Harry thought while going down to the Great Hall.

“C’mon Draco, I know you want to be with me again, please don’t be so stubborn…”
“Do you want me to AK the shit out of you Parkinson?” Draco cut her “I already told you to stay away from me; I rather date Loony Lovegood, before coming back with you, you disgust me bitch”
“BASTARD!! How dare you? You’re gonna pay for this Malfoy, no one calls me like that” Pansy shout at him standing up and leaving the Slytherin table.
Draco watch her as she was leaving, then turning to face Blaise who was reading the Daily Prophet next to him.
“Such a nice girl, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she’s fantastic” Blaise said folding back the newspaper “And you were such a gentleman, I’m surprised she didn’t melt right in front of you”
“Nothing new?”
“Nope, nothing about Granger” Blaise said smirking at Draco
“Would you just drop that Zabini, I don’t care anything that happen to Granger, I already told you that, she can do whatever she pleased with her nasty existence” Draco replied to Blaise grabbing the Daily Prophet from the table.
“Fine, I’ll drop it, but you shouldn’t be doing this, if you have feelings towards her, and I’m sure you do, don’t deny them it’ll hurt you in the end” He said walking away. Leaving Draco alone at the table ready to give him a piece of his mind.
“Damned it! Stupid Zabini, who does he thinks he is giving me a lecture of what I should and shouldn’t do, I’m Draco Malfoy. No one tells Draco Malfoy what to do”
_______________________
“Hey Harry, where have you been? I was looking for you, where did you go so early?” Ron asked Harry, while putting some milk on his cereal.
“I went to the Owlery; I wrote to Sirius, Hedwig hasn’t arrived yet so I had to use one of the school owls”
“You shouldn’t have done that, you could use Pig instead” Ron said matter-of-factly.
“Yeah I know Ron, but…” Harry’s brain was running, trying to think of an excuse. He didn’t bother to ask Ron if he could use Pig because he didn’t trust too much in the tiny owl.
“Whoak?” Ron ask with his mouth full of cereal.
“I…, Well I didn’t ask you ‘cause, well we could use Pig for something else you know, like sending messages to Hagrid, he’s more useful in that part, we can send messages a little bit faster” Harry answered not looking to Ron, who was giving him a calculating look.
“Ok” Ron replied and didn’t push the subject much further.
“Hey guys!” Came Ginny’s voice sounding a little angry.
“Morning Ginny” Harry greet her “What happened to your clothes?”
“Oh! Was that bitch of Parkinson, I encounter her when I was coming inside, she was throwing daggers to everyone, maybe Malfoy piss her off”
“Yeah, well he doesn’t seem too happy either” Ron said staring at the Slytherin table looking at the blonde.
“Yeah well I don’t care what happened to Malfoy as much as I care he can jump from the Astronomy tower, here you go Gin” Harry cleaned up Ginny’s clothes with the tip of his wand.
“Thanks Harry, anyway, see ya’ later boys”
____________________
“Morning Molly”
“Oh, good morning Sirius, want some breakfast honey?” Molly ask him with a warm smile playing on her lips “Last night chat, serves us well, we put aside all our differences, now we understand each other much better than before” Molly thought.
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
Molly was standing outside the bedroom door thinking on what he had said earlier. She knocked.
“Enter” Sirius was laying on bed, eyes closed and both hand holding his head as a pillow. He turned around slowly to face Molly Weasley “What do you want now Molly, do you want me to exorcise the ghost that lives on your attic? Well maybe not, I guess Ginny will do it better than me, if you don’t mind I’m going back to Grimmauld Place” Sirius said sounding like a 5 years old boy.
Molly frowned but goes on “Why on the world you want to go back to that good for nothing house, Sirius?”
He sighed heavily, open his mouth and the closed again, he sat on the bed and stood and sat, Molly was growing annoyed by his behavior but right in the moment that she was about to open her mouth to yell at him to stop, he answer.
“I’m a good for nothing and I hate to be bossed around, I’m sorry Molly but this is who I am. Look if I’m THAT pathetic that I couldn’t even help you to get rid of those bastards little gnomes so if I’m not even good at dying I will return to that place where I wasn’t a burden for nobody”
Molly was shocked, she didn’t know that the morning episode cause him such of distraught she had a guilt lump in her throat and seeing this man so hopeless for such of little thing hit her hard right in the middle of the heart, he want it to help but he couldn’t. Bugger!! He had been raised by house elves, not doing the servitude work, so this is why he wants to return.
“No Sirius, I don’t want you to go anywhere, you are not a burden and you’re not pathetic, I just…I’m very sorry if I had make you feel that way bossing you around this morning, it was never my intention to do so, you belong here Sirius, this is your home, I’m fucking bossy, Sirius, I can’t help it and I didn’t understand you before, but now I do, the last thing you need right now it’s to be bossed around, I know that during all your childhood you’ve been treated like shit and a good for nothing, but you aren’t a good for nothing Sirius, and well I haven’t told you yet but I’m really happy that you’re still here with us, that you didn’t die at all. So don ever, EVER dare to say that again. You’re my cousin Sirius, and I love you the same way I love my children. I want the best for you, and I really don’t think you’ll be ok at that bloody house” Molly finished with tears falling from her eyes.
“I… Thank you Molly” Sirius hesitated at first but it was just for a moment. He cut the distance between him and Molly and instantly; Molly threw her arms around him hugging him. Sirius broke into tears, he had never received a hug like this before. It was pure, warm and full of love; it was the hug from a mother. The mother he’d never had.
“Aww!! So cute” A unison voices said.
Both Sirius and Molly jumped “You want to kill me from a heart attack?” Molly shout at them
“Couldn’t resist” said George
“Does dad know?” suddenly ask Fred mischief all over written on his face.
“What about” Molly ask a little confused.
“The hugging and crying session, duh!!” They said.
They smirked at Sirius who held his left hand up at unison Molly heard the three of them swearing
“I Solemnly Swear That I’m Up To No Good”
Then George took a piece of folded parchment out of his pocket both Fred and Sirius took their wands out, a nod from George and the trio said:
“MEMOFINITO”
When they showed to Molly grinning she just couldn’t help it and smile back at her boys including her cousin. It was the perfect picture of her and Sirius hugging and smiling, even crying “Perfect” was all that let her lips.
~*~END FLASHBACK~*~
“Yes please, I’m starving” Sirius said smiling at her, she the put some eggs and sausages on his plate “Where are the twins?” He asked filling his mouth with the much needed food. “Oh!, they left pretty early, they had a lot of things to do at the shop, they said that if you feel like going out you could go there, that they will show you their latest invention” She said a little worried thinking of what could it be.
“That’s great, maybe I will, but before that I have to go and clean Ron’s room, It’s a total mess since last night” He said blushing a little.
“Oh don’t worry dear, I’ll do it, you can go with the twins and have fun, you deserve it”
“Are you sure Molly, really I can do it, I wouldn’t bother, at the end it’s my mess, you don’t have to do it” He said, Molly was starting to get annoyed “Gods! This guy doesn’t understand when you say, go and have fun I’ll clean the mess. I wish the twins were like him in that part”
“It’s ok Sirius, I’ll do it. Go with the twins, honey, oh! And bring me some roach’s milk I need it for Arthur” She said turning on her heels and leaving Sirius there disgust of the sight of someone squeezing a roach.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Hi Molly” Sirius voice came through the kitchen’s door, Molly jumped and almost drop her tea cup “Hi dear, did you bring me the roach’s milk I ask you?” she said standing up and greeting Sirius with a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, here it is” He said handing to Molly a little vial with a yellowish substance.
“Thank you dear, Oh, I almost forgot, there’s a letter for you on the table, it’s from Harry. But I’m a little confused” “Why?” Sirius ask reaching the envelope. “Because he didn’t use Hedwig to deliver the letter, it was one of the school owls”
“Well, maybe he’s using her for something else, I don’t know” He said opening the letter “I guess you’re right, I will not worry. Anyway, dinner’s almost ready; I’ll call for you later”
“Ok, thanks Molly” Sirius start reading the letter frowning at it’s content. He finished and placed the letter on top of the coffee table, he didn’t like the sound of it. “No news from Hermione yet?, This is really strange, I thought she was already at school, Dumbledore told us that she was only staying with her parents until school term began. Why hasn’t she come back yet? I don’t like this; I’ve got to tell Molly about this right away”
“Sirius! Dinner’s ready” Molly’s voice came through the kitchen’s door, Sirius stood up from the sofa and started to walk to the kitchen, still thinking about Harry’s letter “I really don’t like this”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Are you ok mate?” Ron asked while finishing his breakfast.
“Yes, I’m just waiting for Raven” Harry answered looking at the Great Hall ceiling. “Who’s Raven?” Ron asked once again looking at Harry, with worried eyes, believing that his best friend had lost his sanity.
“Sirius Owl, remember?” Harry said a little exasperated “Oh! Raven, yeah I remember now”
The owls arrived five minutes later and Harry felt disappointed, there was no sight of Raven or Errol with an answer from Sirius. “Shit, no news, I’m gonna ask Dumbledore myself then” He thought looking back at his breakfast, feeling a little bit sick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Mr. Malfoy, would you please put more attention to your potion, it’s getting really dark, and that isn’t the way it should be by now” Draco groaned weakly to himself, revolving his potion again and adding some frog’s eyes. It turns into a light gray; Draco abandoned his potion once more and again was lost in his thoughts “Where the hell is she? She could not have left her studies at Hogwarts; she’s too much of a brain freak. But then why she hasn’t return? And why the stupid old fool, hadn’t told us anything about it? Maybe Potter knows where Granger had gone, and the stupid cracked head is keeping that information from me, Me! Draco Black Malfoy. No one keeps information from me, I will find out where the hell she is, and I’m going to bring her back, no matter if is the last thing I’ll do!, Oh! Shit! I shouldn’t have thought that. Stupid mudblood”
After ten minutes Snape’s voice was heard through the dungeons.
“Everyone please, put some of your potion into a vial, and place it on my desk for the examination, Mr. Malfoy would you please stay a moment, the rest of you can go, you too Mr. Zabini” Snape add looking at Blaise’s direction, he then turn his back to the class, as they started moving. Draco groaned “What now?” he took some of his potion and place it inside of a vial, he then cleaned up his cauldron and took his school bag.
“Yes?” Draco said looking at Snape with tired eyes. “Mr. Malfoy, I’ve notice that your school development isn’t quite the same compared with last school term. Your grades are decreasing alarmingly, and it seems that you’re not interested or have done anything to change that. Is there something bothering you, something you want to tell to your Godfather?” Snape said looking directly at Draco, trying to figured out or find something that could tell him why his godson was so lost in himself.
“Yeah! There are lots of things that I want to tell you and ask you. First of all, in which part of the Purgatory is Granger hiding? The second question is, when is she coming back? And the third one, who told you that I want to speak with you about my problems Godfather?” Draco grinned to himself. “Well?” Snape ask, seeing the little grin playing on Draco’s lips.
“No sir, there’s nothing I want to tell you, I’m fine; I promise I’ll put more attention at school” Draco said trying really hard to hide what he was really thinking. “Very well then, you can go, but I’ll make sure you keep your word”
“Yes sir” Draco said making his way to the door. “This is too fucking great, now even my godfather thinks that something is wrong with me”
“Well, you’re not hiding your emotions pretty well. And who could? Thinking about that babe Granger is, Oh! I wish she was here right now, I could teach her some good stuff. Like how to get undres…”
“Eww! That’s disgusting you know” He said to himself forgetting which way he was heading. “Not at all, anyway, you have to learn how to hide them or you’ll be in serious problems, and watch out for Potter”
“Potter ?”
Bang!!
He didn’t notice that Harry was coming down the marble stairs heading to the Great Hall for lunch, and they collapse with each other falling both to the floor. Malfoy’s head hit the floor making him see stars in front of his eyes. Harry landed on top of Malfoy in a really weird position, his hips between Malfoy’s. Ron couldn’t hold his laugh; he erupted holding himself to the stair handle, watching the odd situation.
“Shit Potter, don’t you even know how to descend some stairs?” Malfoy spat, pushing Harry away from him, and trying to stand up. “You were the one who crashed on me, air-head!” Harry replied, watching angrily at Ron, who was gaining some breath, but still laughing.
“I’m not an air-head, you cracked head, and what the fuck are you laughing at, Weasel?” Ron’s face darkened “I’m laughing at you ferret. Since when you’re from the other side and like to be beneath someone?” Ron retorted, ignoring Harry’s glare. Seamus jaw hit the floor as he heard Ron’s retort, when he reach them. “Excuse me? Since when is that a sin?” Seamus said looking at Ron with an eyebrow almost touching the back of his head. Ron paled, he didn’t saw Seamus coming, otherwise he would never say that “Seamus I’m sorry, that wasn’t meant to you, it was for the stupid ferret” Malfoy smirk at the uneasiness of Ron.
“Really clever Weasel, it seems that you don’t remember your training, when the know-it-all bunny like Granger isn’t around” Malfoy said looking at Harry who paled more than Ron “Caught you Potter, now tell me where the hell the stupid mudblood is?”
“Where’s the mudblood anyway Potter, is she dead? Oh I hope so, that way I’ll be able to breath normally without the worry of smell her disgusting essence” Harry saw red, he launched a fist at Malfoy’s nose, hitting the target right in the center. Malfoy saw Harry’s fist heading right to his nose but he didn’t understood why that was happening, he received the hit with all the force it had, he fell once again to the floor covering his face with his hands, the blood running down his fingers “Well done you stupid, can’t hold your tongue for just five minutes? Look at you now, spilling blood and laying on the fucking floor because of Potter, acting that way he’s never gonna tell you anything about the mudblood” “Aw! Shut the fuck up”
“Don’t ever dare again to say something like that about her, or I’ll beat the shit out of you ferret” Harry said pointing his finger at Malfoy, he then turn his back at Malfoy and went to the Great Hall for lunch. People were watching Malfoy as he straight up cursing Harry with all his mental force.
“Aw! Poor Draco, did it hurt?” Pansy was at Malfoy’s side looking at him with an evil grin on her face, Draco saw her as she started making small circles in his right forearm “I hope it did” Saying this she went back to the dungeons, still smirking at Draco who was now throwing daggers at her with his glare “Stupid bitch, stupid cracked head, stupid…stupid… Aw! Bugger!”
~*~
After the death of Albus Dumbledore, and the runaway of Severus Snape with Draco Malfoy. The magic community felt itself falling into a deep hole. Without Dumbledore, what would they do? Who will guide them through this hell? They still got Harry but it wasn’t the same, he was only a “kid”.
Most of them were scared only by the thought of losing Harry too. But something good happened, at the end of June, Harry got back with Ron carrying the last Horcrux, the Wizarding community was thrilled of joy. All of their fears were gone, they finally got the advantage over Voldemort, and they were all sure that this time he was going to be defeated.

CHAPTER ONE
Seamus is a whore, everyone knows that. But at their second Saturday since school start, at the Great Hall during breakfast, Blaise and Draco stepped in talking about things that he will never be part of. While Draco and Blaise were in their way to the Slytherin table, Seamus notice for the first time, how good muggle clothes fit into Blaise Zabini.
“Damn you Zabini, you’re so fucking hot!!” He though drooling like a girl, he looked away to face Dean, who was now trying to grab a plate full of fried sausage next to Lavender.
‘‘SPLASH’’
He missed the jar of pumpkin juice pushing it with his left elbow and spilling it out through all over the Gryffindor table, causing a total mess and the laughs of the Slytherins.
“That happens you stupid, when you don’t ask permission!!” Yelled Lavender trying to clean up her fuchsia t-shirt with a handkerchief.
“Sorry, sorry Lavender, I just…I didn’t…!” Dean tried to apologize.
“Ah! Shut the fuck up already, look at my new skirt, you ruined it!!” She yelled again standing up from the table and heading to the Gryffindors common room, leaving Dean nearly crying.
Harry and Ron were finishing their Potions assignment in the Gryffindors common room when the portrait opened and Lavender entered the room like a hurricane cursing under her breath, Parvati walked in following Lavender, trying to calm her down.
“Don’t worry Lavender it’s only pumpkin juice I can fix it”
“What’s with her??” Asked Ron puzzled watching the whole scene with his quill nearly inches from the ink bottle.
“No idea! Girls stuff” Said Harry absently looking for the hundred time to the window “Damn it, when does that bloody bird will arrived! It’s been a month, a fucking month since we wrote to Hermione, and she hasn’t got back yet” Harry shouted, making Ron spill all the content of the ink bottle on his Potions work.
“Take it easy mate, maybe she’s tired, it’s a long trip from here to Egypt , and like you said she’s a “Bloody bird” not an airplague” said Ron matter of factly.
“A what?!” Harry ask a little bit confused “what do you mean by that?”
“Erm… you know those muggles air vehicles…” He said blushing a little.
“Oh! You mean an airplane?” Harry correct him, with a funny tone on his voice.
“Don’t say it like that, you know I’m not used to that muggle stuff” Replied Ron defensively, but laughing at himself.
~*~
“Okay now I’m the bad guy, what does she thinks she is!!, She’s not my fucking Mum, she’s only my cousin, I’ve only been alive for one month and exactly five days and she’s already over me!!” Sirius was cursing Molly Weasley while he was trying to catch a filthy creature that was running through the garden of “The Burrow”. Since Sirius returned from the veil he looked almost like his old self before going into Azkaban’s Prison, everyone thought that they were going nuts when they saw a dead guy walking through the doorway of the Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, but the truth was that the recently defeated Dark Lord has used that veil to kill muggles and some wizards too. When he was finally killed, only some of that recently “dead people” could return.
So, there he was being bossed around by Molly Weasley. Running like a stupid through the Weasley’s garden with a gnome laughing at him, and the sun frying the back of his neck.
“Hi Sirius, what’re you up to??”
“Shit!!” Sirius jumped “Don’t do that again Tonks, you scared the hell out of me”
“Oops! Sorry” She apologize “Anyway what are you up to, this sun is a punisher”
“You think I’m having a blast here? What it looks like? I’m trying to catch that fucking gnome over there, I’ve been chasing him like half an hour now, and I swear to the Gods that I’m going to AK that bloody creature!” Sirius said, half yelling half hissing and with a loon face plotting against his little new #1 enemy topping Kreacher.
“Take it easy man! It’s only a gnome, besides you’re chasing him the muggle way, aren’t you a wizard or what? Just retrieve it with the accio spell; it’s not a big deal” Tonks said matter of factly. “Here I’ll do it for you, acc…”
“DON’T YOU DARE NYMPHADORA TONKS!!!” Yelled Sirius with his wand pointing at her, ready to jinx her “This is my quest, my battle against that bloody fucking gnome, and you’re not coming here from wherever you were, and take away my victory, no!! I don’t think so”
Saying this, he was going to cast the Accio spell, but when he opened his mouth…
“Accio gnome!” Mrs. Weasley said through the kitchen door, grabbing the gnome with her hands and giving Sirius a disappointed look “Well Sirius I thought that you would be more efficient de-gnoming my garden, because even Ginny can handle a few gnomes, but as I said before, I only thought”
Sirius held his tongue in the last moment, was about to give her a piece of his mind, but thought it better. He had never de-gnome a fucking garden in his god loving life how the hell he was supposed to know, Tonks give him a sorry look and went inside the house.
At dinner, Tonks called for Sirius who was silent all the afternoon
“Hey Sirius dinner time” she called out
“Not hungry thanks” he replied absently
“Are you alright?” now she was curious, Sirius Black saying no to food is not something that you live to see everyday
“Yeah” he said giving her a small smile and lay back down in the bed sighing deeply
“Sirius Phineas Black get your ass down here!” Molly shouted from downstairs. “NOW!!”
Sirius got up from the bed and walked the stairs with a dark look on his face “What the hell she wants now, give me a lecture about eating habits, I think that my crazy yelling bitch for a mother portrait would be better sometimes…well consider and dismissed” “Yes, Molly?”
Molly was already with a hand on her hip and the other holding a spatula “what’s with you Sirius?”
“I’m getting back to Grimmauld” he said quietly
To say that Molly was shocked was an understament, her mouth hung open and she had dropped the spatula, gapping like a fish. After a minute Molly half regained her composure and ask “why on the world?” she sound hurt.
“I just…” he didn’t finish because in the same moment, his lifetime friend Remus Lupin stepped into the house
“Afternoon” looking both Sirius and Molly “Am I interrupting?”
“Oh no Remus dear wanna join us for dinner” she asked casually just like nothing had happened
“Of course I’ll be there in a minute” Remus said giving her a smile encouraging her to go, so she did and he turns to his friend “What’s happening?”
“Nothing” Sirius said simply “Why always something has to happen?”
“I know you Sirius” while Sirius mumbled “More that I would like”
And Remus chuckled “So what’s going on?”
“Nothing” and went to the bedroom
~*~
“What’s with you?” finally Ron snapped
“Huh” suddenly Seamus head shot up
“You had been in the clouds all day mate” he said matter-of-factly
“Uh…umm it’s nothing” standing up “I’m going to take fresh air”
While going, left, right, down, left, straight and whatever to get out he was deep in thought “You got to be kidding, there’s not bloody way that muggle clothes could fit in that man so good damn I’m hard just thinking of his tight jeans Ohh and that shirt I love it, he looks so punk I just want him to fucking shagged me right in he middle of the Great Hall Ohh yeah that would have…” and something has wrecked his train of thoughts. Seamus looked up just to find that he crashed on Blaise bloody Zabini’s chest.
“Watch it Finnigan”
“Same to you” locking his eyes with the brown skinned Slytherin
“What are you looking at, disgusting half-blood?” Said Zabini with a mocking tone.
“Well, first of all that you look so fucking hot in that muggle outfit, two that I want to go with you inside of that broom closet and rip them off, and three, damn it! I’m getting horny just thinking about it…”
“Peeves…” Said Seamus quietly to Zabini, and trying to hold his laugh.
“Peeves? Are you nuts, Peeves not her…” Zabini start, but then he heard the loud “Miauh” that was coming from behind him, he turns around just to find that Peeves was actually there holding Mrs. Norris by her tail and swinging her rapidly, making big circles in middle air with her body.
“Peeves, No!” Seamus tried to stop him, but it was too late, Peeves didn’t care about the warned, and with no remorse he throw the cat against an armor, making all the parts of it fly through the corridor, and Mrs. Norris lay unconscious on the floor with a broken tail and the helmet of the armor upon her head.
“Ouch! That’s gotta hurt” Said Zabini still a little shocked “Where the hell Filch is?”
“Fuck it, I don’t care” And to an amused Blaise, Seamus walked out.
“What the hell?” Asked Blaise out loud, but Seamus was already gone through the other corridor “That bitch is crazy, fucking Gryffindors, if he thinks that I’m gonna pay for thi…”
“You!” Filch’s voice came running from the other end of the corridor.
“Shit!”
~*~
“Hey! Why the long face Zabini?” Draco had sat down in one of the seats of the Slytherin’s common room reading his latest new book (My Dragon fella)
“Why the long face you asked me? Well nothing important really, only that now I got one fucking month of detention with that stupid squib, and it wasn’t even my fault, Peeves did it, he throw Filch’s cat against that armor and I was there ‘cause that fucking half-blood shattered against me, and when all happened he ran away, that’s why I got this long face” Blaise finished panting.
“Which half-blood? There’re lots of them here at Hogwarts” Draco ask him, but he didn’t bother to raise his eyes from the book.
“That pyromaniac of Finnigan” Blaise said sitting down at one of the seats next to Malfoy “Where’s Pansy? It’s a miracle that she’s not tailing you by now”
“I AK her, she’s now floating down the Black Lake I guess”
“Really? If it’s true you’d make the whole world a big favor” Blaise stared hopefully at Draco.
“Yeah but unfortunately I couldn’t do it, so I don’t know where the hell she is and I don’t care either, I’m here minding my book and nothing else” Draco finished, leaving Blaise there looking at his book cover.
After a few minutes Zabini stared to get bored and something came through his mind, something that he and lots of students had notice.
“Hey Malfoy, did you realize that that bloody mud-blood of Granger isn’t at Hogwarts, I haven’t seen her since we came here two weeks ago”
“Yes I had, but do you think I care? Thanks the Gods for that, I hope she’s dead” Malfoy said without taking his eyes off the book.
“Ha! Don’t you try to trick me Draco Malfoy I know how you feel about her, you’re looking like an old man, you’ve been worried I know that, and you’re trying to know her whereabouts”
“THAT’S A BIG FAT LIE!!” Throwing the book away standing up and pointing Blaise with one of his pale fingers “Don’t you ever dare to say that out loud again Blaise Zabini or I swear the Gods I’ll hex you to the next century!”
“See my point? You get all tense, and…What the fuck is that?” Blaise said pointing at Draco’s face “A wrinkle!”
“WHERE, WHERE?!”
Blaise smirk “That’s for frowning”
“Fuck you, little piece of Troll shit” Malfoy shouted.
“Aw! That’s too big for me, maybe the half-giant freak”
They stared one another with a serious face and then erupted laughing.
~*~
“There’s no way I’m going there headmaster” Said Snape trying to sound polite, but his anger was almost palpable.
“Please Severus, it’s time for you and Sirius put aside all of your differences, the war it’s over, both of you fought side by side against Voldemort, and I believe that there’s no reason why both of you shouldn’t try it”
“I deny myself to do such thing headmaster” Dumbledore was ready to replied but Severus cut him off “And don’t ‘but me’ Albus”
“Ok then” Albus said smiling at him with his particular twinkle.
“Oh! I know that shity twinkle, don’t you dare Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, DON’T YOU DARE!” Severus said in one breath panting a little bit.
“Oh that’s a new one, you Severus calling me by my full name in one breath, it’s a record, don’t you think?”
“Well excuse me headmaster, I got new torture tactics to think about now, and this isn’t going anywhere, I’m killing my good cells in this conversation, good bye headmaster” Saying this he turns on his heels and left Dumbledore sitting behind his desk smiling at Fawkes.
“He will Fawkes, we just have to make them realize what’s going on” Standing up from his chair walking to Fawkes perch “And I know exactly what they need”
The bird gave him a look of concern, and let a cry slipped out its throat and with that he start burning.
~*~
Molly Weasley was confused, a little hurt too. “Why in the frigging world would Sirius return to that dark good for nothing place…well if he wants to end up deaf he will…but why? Did I say something, does he feel uncomfortable, is the bed to little…”
“Oh don’t think that much mum…”said a voice from behind her
“…You’ll burn the house” finished the other voice
“Where have you two been, you were supposed to be here for dinner” she half shout them
“You had us waiting here and we had to start without both of you and you dare to show up at this time of the night, where are your manners I thought that with the store you’ll grow responsible but I guess I was mistaken” and she said under her breath “once again”
“WHOA” both of them yell
“Stop right there” began George
“How could you say that we are not responsible we sent you a message with Errol, right Feorge?”
“That’s right Gred, we were finishing some orders at the store”
“Anyways you are late”
“Better late than never” they both replied with a huge grin on their faces.
“Dinner’s on the table eat…” both of them began to ran for the food, but Molly’s voice stop them on their tracks “You wash the dishes…Muggle way”
“MUM!”
“Eat up” going to the stairs “I’m going to finish this shit right now”
Molly was standing outside the bedroom door thinking on what he had said earlier. She knocked.
“Enter”
----------------------------------------------------------
It was 5 o’clock in the morning and Hogwarts was, for the first time quiet. Everybody was asleep except for on single seventh year student, who was making its way to the Room of Requirements. Standing in front of the naked wall the student pass three times in front of the wall asking for something.
“I need that Vanishing Cabinet, I need that Vanishing Cabinet, I need that Vanishing Cabinet”
Nothing happened. The Student tried to focus, thinking of another way to ask more clearly what he need. Eyes closed and concentrating in the wall, he asked for the second time.
“I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed, I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed, I need the Vanishing Cabinet Malfoy fixed”
Holding his breath, he opened his eyes slowly.
“Perfect!”
~*~
Harry woke up pretty earlier that morning, wishing that Hedwig would arrive today with news from Hermione. Everyone was asleep, and he wanted to keep it that way. He slipped out from bed trying not to make to much noise, and start dressing. It was Sunday so they were allowed to use a normal outfit. Once he was completely dress with a dark grey T-Shirt and black jeans, he got out from the dormitory heading to the common room. He didn’t notice that Lavender Brown was there.
“Good morning Harry! Up so early?” She asked.
“Oh! Hi Lavender” Harry jumped “Yeah, I couldn’t sleep, and it was no used to stay in bed” He said frowning a little. “And what are you doing here anyway?”
“Ah! Well I couldn’t sleep either I was a little worried, but it doesn’t matter, I would be okay” She answered evasively “I’ve got to go Harry see’ya later”
Saying this she went to the girl’s dormitory. Harry thought for a second “Worried about what?” But didn’t give the subject too much importance, he grabbed his school bag and pull out his quill, the ink bottle and some parchment, and began to write to Sirius.
Hi, Sirius
Hope you’re okay and enjoying your stay at The Burrow,
I wish I could be there with all of you.
Everything around here seems normal, Snape hasn’t change a bit,
since the war, he’s still being a fucking dungeons bastard.
Malfoy is the one who change, he doesn’t
bother us anymore, he’s ignoring us and I thanks the
Gods for that.
Anyway, Sirius I’m a little worried, Hedwig
hasn’t arrived yet and I’m starting to think something bad
happened to her. I send her to Egypt almost month and a half ago
with a letter to Hermione and we haven’t received news from her either,
it’s freaking us out. I thought she’ll be back by now, school’s already started
and you know how she is with that subject, anyway I’m not trying to worry you all,
but I can’t help to worry myself about her and Hedwig. Write me back anytime.
Harry
Harry finished and read the letter again. “Okay it doesn’t sound too desperate, just a little bit worried” Then he slipped the letter inside of an envelope, and then he went to the Owlery.
Several minutes later, Harry was calling for one of the school owls that was awake cleaning his feathers. He attached the letter to the owl extended leg, and then walked with him to one of the holes. The owl let go of Harry’s arm and he watch it as the black spot the owl was, flew away above the clouds, and was lost from view.
“Hmm! Hope they know where she is, but if they don’t, I’m going to look for her myself” Harry thought while going down to the Great Hall.
____________________________
“C’mon Draco, I know you want to be with me again, please don’t be so stubborn…”
“Do you want me to AK the shit out of you Parkinson?” Draco cut her “I already told you to stay away from me; I rather date Loony Lovegood, before coming back with you, you disgust me bitch”
“BASTARD!! How dare you? You’re gonna pay for this Malfoy, no one calls me like that” Pansy shout at him standing up and leaving the Slytherin table.
Draco watch her as she was leaving, then turning to face Blaise who was reading the Daily Prophet next to him.
“Such a nice girl, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she’s fantastic” Blaise said folding back the newspaper “And you were such a gentleman, I’m surprised she didn’t melt right in front of you”
“Nothing new?”
“Nope, nothing about Granger” Blaise said smirking at Draco
“Would you just drop that Zabini, I don’t care anything that happen to Granger, I already told you that, she can do whatever she pleased with her nasty existence” Draco replied to Blaise grabbing the Daily Prophet from the table.
“Fine, I’ll drop it, but you shouldn’t be doing this, if you have feelings towards her, and I’m sure you do, don’t deny them it’ll hurt you in the end” He said walking away. Leaving Draco alone at the table ready to give him a piece of his mind.
“Damned it! Stupid Zabini, who does he thinks he is giving me a lecture of what I should and shouldn’t do, I’m Draco Malfoy. No one tells Draco Malfoy what to do”
_______________________
“Hey Harry, where have you been? I was looking for you, where did you go so early?” Ron asked Harry, while putting some milk on his cereal.
“I went to the Owlery; I wrote to Sirius, Hedwig hasn’t arrived yet so I had to use one of the school owls”
“You shouldn’t have done that, you could use Pig instead” Ron said matter-of-factly.
“Yeah I know Ron, but…” Harry’s brain was running, trying to think of an excuse. He didn’t bother to ask Ron if he could use Pig because he didn’t trust too much in the tiny owl.
“Whoak?” Ron ask with his mouth full of cereal.
“I…, Well I didn’t ask you ‘cause, well we could use Pig for something else you know, like sending messages to Hagrid, he’s more useful in that part, we can send messages a little bit faster” Harry answered not looking to Ron, who was giving him a calculating look.
“Ok” Ron replied and didn’t push the subject much further.
“Hey guys!” Came Ginny’s voice sounding a little angry.
“Morning Ginny” Harry greet her “What happened to your clothes?”
“Oh! Was that bitch of Parkinson, I encounter her when I was coming inside, she was throwing daggers to everyone, maybe Malfoy piss her off”
“Yeah, well he doesn’t seem too happy either” Ron said staring at the Slytherin table looking at the blonde.
“Yeah well I don’t care what happened to Malfoy as much as I care he can jump from the Astronomy tower, here you go Gin” Harry cleaned up Ginny’s clothes with the tip of his wand.
“Thanks Harry, anyway, see ya’ later boys”
____________________
“Morning Molly”
“Oh, good morning Sirius, want some breakfast honey?” Molly ask him with a warm smile playing on her lips “Last night chat, serves us well, we put aside all our differences, now we understand each other much better than before” Molly thought.
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
Molly was standing outside the bedroom door thinking on what he had said earlier. She knocked.
“Enter” Sirius was laying on bed, eyes closed and both hand holding his head as a pillow. He turned around slowly to face Molly Weasley “What do you want now Molly, do you want me to exorcise the ghost that lives on your attic? Well maybe not, I guess Ginny will do it better than me, if you don’t mind I’m going back to Grimmauld Place” Sirius said sounding like a 5 years old boy.
Molly frowned but goes on “Why on the world you want to go back to that good for nothing house, Sirius?”
He sighed heavily, open his mouth and the closed again, he sat on the bed and stood and sat, Molly was growing annoyed by his behavior but right in the moment that she was about to open her mouth to yell at him to stop, he answer.
“I’m a good for nothing and I hate to be bossed around, I’m sorry Molly but this is who I am. Look if I’m THAT pathetic that I couldn’t even help you to get rid of those bastards little gnomes so if I’m not even good at dying I will return to that place where I wasn’t a burden for nobody”
Molly was shocked, she didn’t know that the morning episode cause him such of distraught she had a guilt lump in her throat and seeing this man so hopeless for such of little thing hit her hard right in the middle of the heart, he want it to help but he couldn’t. Bugger!! He had been raised by house elves, not doing the servitude work, so this is why he wants to return.
“No Sirius, I don’t want you to go anywhere, you are not a burden and you’re not pathetic, I just…I’m very sorry if I had make you feel that way bossing you around this morning, it was never my intention to do so, you belong here Sirius, this is your home, I’m fucking bossy, Sirius, I can’t help it and I didn’t understand you before, but now I do, the last thing you need right now it’s to be bossed around, I know that during all your childhood you’ve been treated like shit and a good for nothing, but you aren’t a good for nothing Sirius, and well I haven’t told you yet but I’m really happy that you’re still here with us, that you didn’t die at all. So don ever, EVER dare to say that again. You’re my cousin Sirius, and I love you the same way I love my children. I want the best for you, and I really don’t think you’ll be ok at that bloody house” Molly finished with tears falling from her eyes.
“I… Thank you Molly” Sirius hesitated at first but it was just for a moment. He cut the distance between him and Molly and instantly; Molly threw her arms around him hugging him. Sirius broke into tears, he had never received a hug like this before. It was pure, warm and full of love; it was the hug from a mother. The mother he’d never had.
“Aww!! So cute” A unison voices said.
Both Sirius and Molly jumped “You want to kill me from a heart attack?” Molly shout at them
“Couldn’t resist” said George
“Does dad know?” suddenly ask Fred mischief all over written on his face.
“What about” Molly ask a little confused.
“The hugging and crying session, duh!!” They said.
They smirked at Sirius who held his left hand up at unison Molly heard the three of them swearing
“I Solemnly Swear That I’m Up To No Good”
Then George took a piece of folded parchment out of his pocket both Fred and Sirius took their wands out, a nod from George and the trio said:
“MEMOFINITO”
When they showed to Molly grinning she just couldn’t help it and smile back at her boys including her cousin. It was the perfect picture of her and Sirius hugging and smiling, even crying “Perfect” was all that let her lips.
~*~END FLASHBACK~*~
“Yes please, I’m starving” Sirius said smiling at her, she the put some eggs and sausages on his plate “Where are the twins?” He asked filling his mouth with the much needed food. “Oh!, they left pretty early, they had a lot of things to do at the shop, they said that if you feel like going out you could go there, that they will show you their latest invention” She said a little worried thinking of what could it be.
“That’s great, maybe I will, but before that I have to go and clean Ron’s room, It’s a total mess since last night” He said blushing a little.
“Oh don’t worry dear, I’ll do it, you can go with the twins and have fun, you deserve it”
“Are you sure Molly, really I can do it, I wouldn’t bother, at the end it’s my mess, you don’t have to do it” He said, Molly was starting to get annoyed “Gods! This guy doesn’t understand when you say, go and have fun I’ll clean the mess. I wish the twins were like him in that part”
“It’s ok Sirius, I’ll do it. Go with the twins, honey, oh! And bring me some roach’s milk I need it for Arthur” She said turning on her heels and leaving Sirius there disgust of the sight of someone squeezing a roach.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Hi Molly” Sirius voice came through the kitchen’s door, Molly jumped and almost drop her tea cup “Hi dear, did you bring me the roach’s milk I ask you?” she said standing up and greeting Sirius with a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, here it is” He said handing to Molly a little vial with a yellowish substance.
“Thank you dear, Oh, I almost forgot, there’s a letter for you on the table, it’s from Harry. But I’m a little confused” “Why?” Sirius ask reaching the envelope. “Because he didn’t use Hedwig to deliver the letter, it was one of the school owls”
“Well, maybe he’s using her for something else, I don’t know” He said opening the letter “I guess you’re right, I will not worry. Anyway, dinner’s almost ready; I’ll call for you later”
“Ok, thanks Molly” Sirius start reading the letter frowning at it’s content. He finished and placed the letter on top of the coffee table, he didn’t like the sound of it. “No news from Hermione yet?, This is really strange, I thought she was already at school, Dumbledore told us that she was only staying with her parents until school term began. Why hasn’t she come back yet? I don’t like this; I’ve got to tell Molly about this right away”
“Sirius! Dinner’s ready” Molly’s voice came through the kitchen’s door, Sirius stood up from the sofa and started to walk to the kitchen, still thinking about Harry’s letter “I really don’t like this”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Are you ok mate?” Ron asked while finishing his breakfast.
“Yes, I’m just waiting for Raven” Harry answered looking at the Great Hall ceiling. “Who’s Raven?” Ron asked once again looking at Harry, with worried eyes, believing that his best friend had lost his sanity.
“Sirius Owl, remember?” Harry said a little exasperated “Oh! Raven, yeah I remember now”
The owls arrived five minutes later and Harry felt disappointed, there was no sight of Raven or Errol with an answer from Sirius. “Shit, no news, I’m gonna ask Dumbledore myself then” He thought looking back at his breakfast, feeling a little bit sick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Mr. Malfoy, would you please put more attention to your potion, it’s getting really dark, and that isn’t the way it should be by now” Draco groaned weakly to himself, revolving his potion again and adding some frog’s eyes. It turns into a light gray; Draco abandoned his potion once more and again was lost in his thoughts “Where the hell is she? She could not have left her studies at Hogwarts; she’s too much of a brain freak. But then why she hasn’t return? And why the stupid old fool, hadn’t told us anything about it? Maybe Potter knows where Granger had gone, and the stupid cracked head is keeping that information from me, Me! Draco Black Malfoy. No one keeps information from me, I will find out where the hell she is, and I’m going to bring her back, no matter if is the last thing I’ll do!, Oh! Shit! I shouldn’t have thought that. Stupid mudblood”
After ten minutes Snape’s voice was heard through the dungeons.
“Everyone please, put some of your potion into a vial, and place it on my desk for the examination, Mr. Malfoy would you please stay a moment, the rest of you can go, you too Mr. Zabini” Snape add looking at Blaise’s direction, he then turn his back to the class, as they started moving. Draco groaned “What now?” he took some of his potion and place it inside of a vial, he then cleaned up his cauldron and took his school bag.
“Yes?” Draco said looking at Snape with tired eyes. “Mr. Malfoy, I’ve notice that your school development isn’t quite the same compared with last school term. Your grades are decreasing alarmingly, and it seems that you’re not interested or have done anything to change that. Is there something bothering you, something you want to tell to your Godfather?” Snape said looking directly at Draco, trying to figured out or find something that could tell him why his godson was so lost in himself.
“Yeah! There are lots of things that I want to tell you and ask you. First of all, in which part of the Purgatory is Granger hiding? The second question is, when is she coming back? And the third one, who told you that I want to speak with you about my problems Godfather?” Draco grinned to himself. “Well?” Snape ask, seeing the little grin playing on Draco’s lips.
“No sir, there’s nothing I want to tell you, I’m fine; I promise I’ll put more attention at school” Draco said trying really hard to hide what he was really thinking. “Very well then, you can go, but I’ll make sure you keep your word”
“Yes sir” Draco said making his way to the door. “This is too fucking great, now even my godfather thinks that something is wrong with me”
“Well, you’re not hiding your emotions pretty well. And who could? Thinking about that babe Granger is, Oh! I wish she was here right now, I could teach her some good stuff. Like how to get undres…”
“Eww! That’s disgusting you know” He said to himself forgetting which way he was heading. “Not at all, anyway, you have to learn how to hide them or you’ll be in serious problems, and watch out for Potter”
“Potter ?”
Bang!!
He didn’t notice that Harry was coming down the marble stairs heading to the Great Hall for lunch, and they collapse with each other falling both to the floor. Malfoy’s head hit the floor making him see stars in front of his eyes. Harry landed on top of Malfoy in a really weird position, his hips between Malfoy’s. Ron couldn’t hold his laugh; he erupted holding himself to the stair handle, watching the odd situation.
“Shit Potter, don’t you even know how to descend some stairs?” Malfoy spat, pushing Harry away from him, and trying to stand up. “You were the one who crashed on me, air-head!” Harry replied, watching angrily at Ron, who was gaining some breath, but still laughing.
“I’m not an air-head, you cracked head, and what the fuck are you laughing at, Weasel?” Ron’s face darkened “I’m laughing at you ferret. Since when you’re from the other side and like to be beneath someone?” Ron retorted, ignoring Harry’s glare. Seamus jaw hit the floor as he heard Ron’s retort, when he reach them. “Excuse me? Since when is that a sin?” Seamus said looking at Ron with an eyebrow almost touching the back of his head. Ron paled, he didn’t saw Seamus coming, otherwise he would never say that “Seamus I’m sorry, that wasn’t meant to you, it was for the stupid ferret” Malfoy smirk at the uneasiness of Ron.
“Really clever Weasel, it seems that you don’t remember your training, when the know-it-all bunny like Granger isn’t around” Malfoy said looking at Harry who paled more than Ron “Caught you Potter, now tell me where the hell the stupid mudblood is?”
“Where’s the mudblood anyway Potter, is she dead? Oh I hope so, that way I’ll be able to breath normally without the worry of smell her disgusting essence” Harry saw red, he launched a fist at Malfoy’s nose, hitting the target right in the center. Malfoy saw Harry’s fist heading right to his nose but he didn’t understood why that was happening, he received the hit with all the force it had, he fell once again to the floor covering his face with his hands, the blood running down his fingers “Well done you stupid, can’t hold your tongue for just five minutes? Look at you now, spilling blood and laying on the fucking floor because of Potter, acting that way he’s never gonna tell you anything about the mudblood” “Aw! Shut the fuck up”
“Don’t ever dare again to say something like that about her, or I’ll beat the shit out of you ferret” Harry said pointing his finger at Malfoy, he then turn his back at Malfoy and went to the Great Hall for lunch. People were watching Malfoy as he straight up cursing Harry with all his mental force.
“Aw! Poor Draco, did it hurt?” Pansy was at Malfoy’s side looking at him with an evil grin on her face, Draco saw her as she started making small circles in his right forearm “I hope it did” Saying this she went back to the dungeons, still smirking at Draco who was now throwing daggers at her with his glare “Stupid bitch, stupid cracked head, stupid…stupid… Aw! Bugger!”
