Chapter 2- Detention

He walked out of the housetogether with Vernon and jumped into the open sport car. Of course Vernon loved to show his new car to everyone he possible could. Harry was allowed to sit in the front seat. The ride to London was a quiet and peaceful affair. Vernon dropped him of just outside big Ben and Harry wandered off.

He used a cab to get to the Leaky Cauldron because he was too lazy to walk. He draw no attentionupon himself when he walked across the pub and slipped into the back yard and through the wall to Diagon Alley. As soon as he stepped into Diagon Alley he got an uneasy feeling that he couldn\'t shake of. He didn\'t know what to make of it so he shrugged it of, even then it still lingered back in his mind. He went to a quidditch store and hoped that would get his mind set on other tingsbut nothing caught his interest.

So he went to a new cloth store that was looking very fresh. He looked around inside and he liked what he saw. It was very big, bigger than you might thinkwhen you looked at the store from the outside.

Suddenly he dived in between some cloths stands. Hermione and Ron were standing not far away from him. He prayed that Hermione and Ron hadn\'t noticed him. Healmost though he was safe when hefelt someone knock himon his shoulder.

\"Excuse me, are you alright?\" Hermiones voice asked.

Not daring to look up he frowned aloud. How stupid could one get? If he wanted to hide he should have turned his back on them and looked at some cloths but nooo, he just had to screw up! Him hiding between the cloths was just too obvious and odd.

\"I\'m fine! I was just tying my shoe,\" he said icily.

\"Oh sorry!\" said Hermione andshe and Ronof them hurried away. Since it was pretty much straightforward to shop his ass off now when they were gonehe pretty much did.

Draco Malfoy had a problem. He didn\'t know how he was supposed to act any longer. Since his father was in jail he didn\'t need to act like he loved The Dark Lord. Or did he? It was confusing as hell. Frankly he didn\'t care shit aboutThe dark lordor Dumbledore or any politics at all. It was all greek to him.

He was his own bloody person with his own ideals, thoughts and ideas. He had his own visions but he was very rarely able to show histrue person. Actually, only his mother had seen some quickly flashes of which he really was. He usually acted on his father\'s instructions. Why he did that he still haven\'t figured out. He was excused for it when he was younger and couldn\'t think of his own but now... He had grown up. Surely he shouldn\'t let others order and direct him around?

\"Draco, have you written your father yet?\" Narcissa asked him when he walked proud and powerfull across the livingroom.

\"Not yet mother but I will,\" he said. His mother was not brought down because of that his father was stuck in Azkaban. The Malfoys pride forbide them to sulk. Draco had always had style and he had a mind for fashion and his money helped him to keep well updated with only the best things. He liked a pure style with black pants, black shirt, a leather belt and gel combed hair. He absolutely detested to wear robes, especually the school robes. He also liked a sexy style with tight leather pants and silk shirts as slimmed as possible. And of course he loved the rock style! As a Malfoy he had cloths for every style but he seldomly used some.

He combined between pure, rock and sexy style. Of course his father didn\'t approve of his rock and sexy style but he was allowed to wear it when no one of Lucius\'s partners in business saw him.

Right now he had a pure style however.

\"Mother. How would you feel if I don\'t write father this time?\" he asked.

Narcissa looked up from a book.

\"Why wouldn\'t you write him?\" she asked instead of answering.

\"I wrote him last week. I have nothing new to tell him,\" he said.

Narcissa nodded,

\"Very well then. I\'ll tell him that you\'ll write himnext week.\"

\"Yes mother,\" he said and left the room.

Harry was done with his shopping so he took the buss home.

With a several shopping bags it was hard to find a good seat so he ended up taking three whole seats in the back of the bus. The buss driver had looked a bit irritated but after a firm glare from Harry he had humped and concentrated on other things.

When Harry walked down Privet Drive he thought he saw Remus in his eye corner. He watched discreetly but he didn\'t see him again. But he knew that he was still being watched but tried to ignor it as much as possible.

\"I\'m home!\" he announced brightly

Three \'hi\' echoed behind him when he walked up the stairs. Seemed like Dudley had finally gotten up.Inside his room he unpacked all his new cloths and folded them neatly and put them into his wardrobe. All he had to do now was to await the school start.

It\'s an outrage, a scandal! Absolutley unacceptable!Minerva had yelled while Dumbledore was amused to no end. She was talking about Harry\'s and the Slytherins rebellion.

It was two weeks in on the school term. From day one Harry had refused to put on any school robes. This was quickly adopted by most Slytherins who wore whatever they pleased. The Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Gryffindors however was less daring andstuck to their uniforms. Therefore it was only Harry and the Slytherins who rebelled. This constantly brought on arguments for Harry since every other house hated Slytherin and didn\'t want people to think that he was a Slytherin supporter.

But when anyone pointed it out for Hary he just laughed and reminded them that he had been doing this style first. There were two professors in DADA this year.

Remus Lupin and Orion Reen. Harry absolutley detested the later. And for some reason Severus Snape seemed to do that too. No one else seemed to have a problem with Professor Reen. Quite the oppsoite. He was a good professor but a bit childish, Harry would give him that,and Remus had to keep him from doing foolish stuff all the time. Harry had no real reason to dislike Professor Reen, he just didn\'t. The man kept trying to make conversations with him and insisted that they should get to know each other. Apparentlyhe was a memberin the orderand he knew Remus since beforeand had to keep a distance from Snape because they couldn\'t stand each other and less agree on anything. Funny through. The new Professor never asked him once about Sirius\'s death like everybody else. He just mentioned it briefly.

Things had become more and more tense between himself and Draco Malfoy. Yesterday they had a fistfight and they both ended up with a black eye and detention.

Together.

For a week.

\"I was wondering if you\'d ever show up!\" Harry said when Earnie MacMillan showed his face after 30 minutes of waiting for Harry.

They were in the libarary.

\"I\'m sorry. I was held up.\"

\"It doesn\'t matter. I asked you to behere because I need you to help me find the best book on Herbology there is. And I know that you\'re good at it,\" he said.

Earnie was flattered. He looked like a peacock.

\"I\'ll help you! There is a good back called Through the Herbes.\"

\"Ok. Let\'s find it,\" said Harry.

Harry had managed to get an O in potions in his OWL:s.

But he knew that he would fail in potions if he didn\'t know everything about the herbs he usedin the potions. So he had decided to study more Herbology in the hours where he used to have Division which he had dropped. He was so tired of Trellawny.

Draco was pissed off. Potter had given him an black eye! It looked terrible on him! he began to think of the brat while he abesntlylooked himself in the mirror. When he first saw Potter in muggle cloths he couldn\'t believe his eyes. And the hair style!And the many styles he had! Even in persona. He could make a good Slytherin sometimes but on the other hand he could be so Gryffindor in between so you could throw up. He was seriouslybeginning to wonder if Potter had a serious personality split. It sure as hell looked like it.

Or maybe Potter was just a good actor like himself. He was however now landed in detention with Snape. God how he hated Potter!

Harry wanted nothing more than to strangle the arrogant Malfoy. It had only passedfive minutes of their first detention together and Malfoy was already whining about a scratched nail or something to Snape. Harry threw down his wash cloth in the cauldron he was scrubbing with force. He was beyond irritated. He was pissed off!

\"Shut up Malfoy! You\'re acting so queer, no I forgot you are a fagot! But could you shut the hell up while I\'m in the room? You can sulk, whine and moan to Snape later! Unless you wish for me to kick your balls in so you\'ll never be able to lay a boy in your entire future life!\" he hissed.

He would have laughed at Malfoy\'s dumbfoundedexpresion if he hadn\'t been so angry. After a few seconds it sunk in on Draco what he had onlyjust said.

\"Queer? GAY?\" he exploded.

Draco took a swing at him but Harry ducked and hit the other boy with an unexpected left hook. Draco stumbled backwards and fell over a cauldron.

\"THAT\'S ENOUGH!\" Severus bellowed when he finally found his voice. \"Fifty points from Gryffindor!\" he continued.

Draco was holding his jaw.

\"You broke it!\" he accused.

\"Hardly!\" Snape said. \"Go to Madam Promfrey and she\'ll fix it!\"

Draco left and Harry was alone with Snape. He didn\'t like the perspective of that...

\"When will you stop acting so irresponcible Potter? You\'re just like yourarogant father!\" Snape exploded.

\"Yada, yada. I\'ve heard it all before. Do us all a favour and skip the crap.It doesn\'t matter what I do, you\'ll always say I\'m just like my father. I don\'t care what you think of me Professor. I don\'t want your respect nor your attention!\" he spat.

\"Stop talkinglike a foolish five years old! Somebody\'s gotta tell you to take responsibility since you seem unable to get the tumb out of your ass anddo it on your own!\"

\"And you are telling me that you\'ve taken that task upon yourself? How bloody perfect!\"

\"Don\'t fight Malfoy. You can\'t go and get yourself killed. And for Merlins sake, talk to Reen! I\'ve heard that you\'ve been avoiding him and downright ignoring him and cut him off.\"

\"So? He irritates me. I happen not tolike him,\" he announced.

A strange look came upon Snape\'s face but he was unable to read it.

\"You\'re making an mistake,\" Snape said unexpectedly.

\"Why? It\'s not like you like him or anything!\" Harry argued.

\"It doesn\'t matter what I think, do or do not do! Talk to him!\" Snape ordered.

\"I make my own decisions!\" he said stubbornly.

\"You\'ll regret it. Now, get out!\"

Harry glared and left.
