Chapter Five

Chapter Five:

I want to address something before you begin to read this chapter. I got a very horrible review from a reader by the name of fan fiction whore. She said my writing was shit and that all of my reviewers either pitied me, were twelve years old, or knew nothing about fan fiction. She then went on to suggest that maybe I had never read a good story before. Now, I don’t mind criticism, but that was just very rude, and hurtful. Not only that, be she insulted all of you, who take the time to read someone’s story, and go out of their way to give a review. I deleted the review because it was way out of line, maybe I should have left it, but I was hurt at the time. I don’t want to scare off anybody that may have useful suggestions to improve my writing. I never claimed to be a good writer, but I had and idea and wanted to make it come to life. I am doing this for me, and if anybody else gets enjoyment out of it, then that is even better. I had one review that suggested that I have someone proof read and grammar check my stories. I don’t want a beta, but if someone would like to proof read and grammar check for me, I would appreciate it. On another note, if there are any 12 year olds reading my story, please stop now. This is not a story for someone so young. Now, on with the story.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

After their previous conversation, Harry and Draco sat in companionable silence until dinner arrived. After eating in silence, they grabbed another butterbeer and returned to the chairs in front of the fire.

“Draco, what are you planning on doing after you graduate?”

“Does it matter now? I will be bonded to you. You will be in control of my life then.” replied Draco, bitterly.

Harry looked shocked at his answer.

“Just because we are bonded doesn’t mean that you can’t still do what you want. I won’t stop you if you had plans.”

Draco tried not to look too hopeful at that news.

“Well, I really love potions. Professor Snape had agreed to apprentice me for the next couple of years. I would be allowed rooms right here in the castle and I would have to help him teach. I don’t care for that, but if I want to apprentice with the best I have to. After that, I wanted to set up my own apothecary somewhere. What about you?”

“Well, I have been given a position as starting seeker with the Chudley Canons. If you still want to apprentice, then I can just apparate to and from my practices and games. We can stay here, or we can get a place in Hogsmeade.”

“One problem with that Potter. We have to stay near each other for the first several months of the bond. One of us has to give something up.”

“Bugger! I forgot about that!” groaned Harry.

“Don’t worry about it Potter. I am sure that Professor Snape with hold my apprenticeship until the bond is secured. It’s not that big of a deal.”

“We’ll talk about it some more after the bonding. Maybe it won’t be as bad as Dumbledore says.” said Harry, hopefully.

Draco didn’t answer, and they fell silent once again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the night passed quickly, and soon it was time to go to bed. Which left them with something of a dilemma: neither of them want to sleep with the other.

“Come on Draco! There is only one bed and only enough bedding for it. I am not sleeping on the floor with nothing but a pillow, so don’t even suggest it!”

“Fine, but if I feel hands anywhere near by bits, I am going to break them!”

“Are you suggesting I am going to molest you during the night? Have you forgotten who got a bloody hard on earlier? Because it sure as hell wasn’t me!”

With that reminder, Draco got red with embarrassment again, and climbed in to the bed.

“Fine Potter, bring that up again. I told you it had nothing to do with you. Let’s just go to bed. You stay on you’re side, and I will stay on mine!”

“Fine! See you in the morning!”

Neither of them got much sleep that night.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning brought with it two very sleep, grumpy boys.

They brightened considerably however, when the house elf brought a chess set with the breakfast. There was a note attached to it from Dumbledore. Draco read it out loud.

///Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy

Since you both had a day to get to know one another, I thought you might like a bit of a distraction, while still interacting with one another. You can learn a lot about someone by how they play a game of chess.

Have a good day gentlemen,

Professor Dumbledore///

“Hey, do you think they would let us out of here if we let them know that we agreed to do the bonding?” Harry asked, hopefully.

“I don’t know. How about we ask the House elf to send him a message when it comes to pick up the tray.”

Harry agreed and when the elf came to pick up the tray an hour later, they gave it the message.

It popped back a few minutes later with another letter. This time Harry took it and read it out loud.

///Gentlemen,

That is great news, but I am afraid I must insist that you stay at least until morning. You still need to get to know each other and the best way to do that is to stay in close quarters. Since it appears that you are getting along well, I will let you out a day early. We have much to discuss. See you tomorrow.

Professor Dumbledore///

“Well, that’s not too bad. I think I can survive another day. What do you say we play a game of chess?” said Harry.

“Ok. Let me get a quick shower first. You could use one as well Potter.”

“Are you saying I smell?” he asked, indigent.

“Not yet you don’t, but you will probably get ripe soon.”

“Prat.”

“Tosser.”

“What ever.”

Draco went into the bathroom and Harry could hear him chuckling through the door, causing Harry to smile.

‘Maybe this won’t be too bad after all.’ he thought.



a/n I know this chapter is kind of short, but I don’t want to post anymore until I get someone to properly check it over. I didn’t realize how bad my grammar is. Thanks to who ever pointed it out.
