Contemplations
Chapter 5
Draco walked back to his room thinking about all he had learned about Harry in just the past few hours. He couldn\'t believe how much Harry had changed within the last two months (and for the better I might add). He wasn\'t as short tempered as before, though the wariness at his own about face was kind of funny. It\'s not very often you see St. Potter back away from him. His birthday had been in April but all he had inherited was a significant power boost. His potions skills were more precise and his defense and offense spells were top notch.
He walked into the suite and found his father reading a book in front of the fireplace. \"Father, I\'m back. You\'ll never believe what I learned today or from whom,\" he said in greeting.
\"What did you learn today, Draco?\" asked Lucius rather drolly.
\"Did you know that the Potters had elfin blood?\" asked Draco.
\"No. I always thought the Potters were pureblood wizards. Where did you here that they had elfin blood?\" asked Lucius.
\"Directly from the source, of course. I bumped into Harry this afternoon and we spent the day in the library looking up information of royal elves,\" he replied.
\"I thought you hated Harry,\" said Lucius.
\"Have you seen him lately? He\'s still short compared to the two of us but he\'s filled out so that he doesn\'t look half starved. His hair is down to his waist and has red and silver streaks all through it. We found out the streaks were power markers and that he could control predatory beasts and heal more easily. He also has the cute pointy ears and he no longer needs those horrid glasses,\" said Draco.
\"Draco, it sounds as though you have a crush on him. He can\'t have changed that much,\" said Lucius.
\"Well, I never really hated Harry. I was angry because he spurned my friendship for that prat Weasel and I was jealous because he was better than me in so many different things. Besides, you\'re not still planning to marry me off to that cow Parkinson are you?\" asked Draco worriedly.
\"NO! The Parkinsons are still in the Dark Lord\'s inner circle. Marrying you off to the cow would just get you killed. Of course, now you have stirred up my curiosity in reguards to Potter. I may have to see all these changes for myself before I can believe your complete turn around,\" said Lucius.
\"Just you wait,\" laughed Draco. \"You will definitely see what I\'m talking about. On a different note, what did you do all day?\"
\"I was with Dumbledore most of the day trying to figure out the best way to proceed from here. I finally decided that we would be better off staying at the school for the rest of the summer. I just don\'t want to deal with the suspicions from the other Order members, especially right now. It will be quieter here and it will give us time to get past Narcissa\'s death. I imagine I will be with Dumbledore tomorrow as well to determine a course of action when school starts. I wonder if he already has DADA teacher hired,\" Lucius mused.
\"While I can say it would be cool to have you as the new DADA teacher, I won\'t get my hopes up. We will need to arrange a day to go to Diagon Alley to get my school supplies for this year. Maybe we could go with Harry?\" asked Draco.
\"I\'ll discuss it with Albus,\" he replied.
\"When is mother\'s funeral? Will we even be able to have one? Were you able to get her body at all?\" asked Draco sadly.
\"All we can have is a memorial service. Severus told me that the Dark Lord incinerated her body to ashes. We will hold the memorial service as soon as I can make arrangements. Do you have anyone in particular that you would like to invite? I will ask Dumbledore and Severus to attend for extra protection,\" said Lucius.
\"Can I invite Harry. I don\'t know if he will attend because let\'s face it, his history with you (or me for that matter) doesn\'t really hold pleasant memories, but we agreed to try to become friends so he may,\" said Draco.
\"Yes, you can invite Potter. Just make sure you tell him Dumbledore and Severus will also be attending. That may sway his answer,\" said Lucius.
\"By the way, do you know any unbreakable glamours? Harry said that Dumbledore told him the only way his father managed to hide his elfin features was by an unbreakable glamour. Harry and I had never heard of a glamour that could only be removed by the caster,\" asked Draco.
\"Not right off hand. I\'ll do some research and see if I can find something. Now it is rather late and after a day of dealing with Dumbledore, I find that I am quite tired. Don\'t stay up too late,\" said Lucius as he headed towards his room.
Draco sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace and contemplated the last two days. His mother was dead and his entire world had just been turned upside down. His father had severed all ties to the Dark Lord and sworn allegiance to the light and didn\'t even seem to regret the decision at all. He also found himself behaving in a civil manner towards his arch rival Harry Potter. When Harry had bumped into him that afternoon, he had been so shocked at his new look, he hadn\'t managed to fall back on his attitude of hatred and scorn for the boy. He realized that it would be very easy to become friends with Harry because the boy just seemed to exude goodness (even moreso now with that elfin light he possesses). With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Draco finally just drifted off to sleep on the couch.
