Chapter 7:
‘Two Months Later’
Ron and Hermione were in the kitchen at the Burrow and were talking about Harry having still not brought up the subject of what had happened between him and Lucius Malfoy the evening of the Ministry Ball. Harry’s friends and adopted family were very worried about him.
“Ron, maybe I should try talking to Harry about it again. I thought maybe he would have confided to one of us by now. I am so worried about him. I know he’s still grieving for Ginny and everyone else we lost during the War but this seems different. He seems to be somewhat withdrawn and he‘s been acting rather strange lately.” whispered a distraught Hermione.
“Mione, you and I both know how stubborn Harry can be. I am worried about him too but we can’t force the issue. Harry knows we have tried to discuss what happened between him and Malfoy. He was very adamant about the fact that he isn’t ready to tell us just yet. We just have to trust his judgment on this subject. When he is ready to talk, then we will both be there to listen and help him.” answered Ron.
“Oh, I know you are right Ron. Maybe it’s a good thing that school is starting next week. I am so glad that Harry decided to accept the position as Professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts that Headmaster Snape offered him. It’s the best thing for him and something he really enjoys.” Hermione stated.
“We will be able to visit him and on the Holidays he can come see us at the Burrow.” offered Ron.
“Harry should be coming down soon so that we can floo together to Diagon Alley and get his teaching supplies then we are going to drop by Hogwarts and visit Hagrid. He just got back from visiting Madame Maxime and is anxious to see how Harry is doing. I am really looking forward to seeing him again.” Hermione said and then smiled at Ron.
“Yea, just be sure to stay away from Hagrid’s treacle fudge.” laughed Ron.

Harry was in the bathroom upstairs being sick. It was the fifth morning in a row this had happened. He had finally made an appointment at St. Mungo’s with a Healer, for the end of the week, to find out what was wrong. He thought it was just the normal stomach flu but it was lasting too long. Harry hadn’t told his friends because he didn’t want to worry them. He knew that they were worried enough about what happened the night of the Ministry Ball but he just wasn’t ready to talk about it yet. Maybe in time he would, but for now he was keeping it to himself.
Before leaving the bathroom, he looked in the mirror and thought his face and skin looked fuller and healthier than it had in a long time but it was still pale from his being sick. I’ve even put on some weight, he thought smiling, that should make Mione and Molly happy.
Well, I guess I better go downstairs so we can get going to Diagon Alley and purchase my supplies. While we are there, I am going to drop by Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor and get myself an extra large sundae.

‘Hogwarts’
“Lucius!” Severus said standing up from behind his desk, in Albus Dumbledore’s old office, where he had been working on some last minute paperwork for the new school year. He walked around it and greeted Lucius with a firm handshake.
“Severus, how are you?” replied Lucius.
“Why don’t you have a seat and I’ll summon one of the school’s house elves to get us something to eat from the Kitchen.”
After they had eaten, Severus and Lucius both sat down relaxing in front of the fireplace sipping brandy.
“Lucius, it’s been awhile, where have you been all this time?” asked Severus.
“I have been abroad visiting some old family friends and just got back. Why, were you afraid I had been arrested and put in Azkaban and you didn‘t know about it?” replied a sarcastic Lucius.
“That’s not funny Lucius! You should consider yourself lucky that Harry hasn’t brought charges of assault against you. I don’t even think he’s told his friends about what happened yet. I can assure you that if he did, you wouldn’t be sitting in this room with me right now.” stated a serious Severus.
“Severus, don’t be ridiculous, what happened between Mr. Potter and myself was purely an act of consensual sex that got a little out of hand. I can assure you that it won’t ever happen again! It’s something that I would like to forget had ever occurred as I am sure does Mr. Potter.” answered Lucius.
“I take it then that the two of you have not crossed paths since that night?” inquired Severus.
“You assume correctly and it will stay that way as far as I am concerned.” responded Lucius.
“I am afraid to tell you this bad news then, my dear friend, but Harry has accepted the position for Defense Against the Dark Arts that I offered him. So, where you have been reinstated as a School Governor for Hogwarts, then I am afraid your paths may very well cross again.” stated Severus.
Lucius didn’t respond to this new information he only continued to sit silently in his chair looking at Severus.

The trio had just left Hagrid’s hut after having been visiting him for the last three hours and saw that it was getting dark outside. They had enjoyed their day together at Diagon Alley and it brought back many happy memories. As they were walking down the steep path towards the road that would lead them back to Hogsmeade, Harry suddenly stopped them.
“Oh blimey, I almost forgot, Severus said he wanted me to leave a copy of my lesson plans off with him so he could go over them before school starts.” remembered Harry.
“We’ll go with you mate.” offered Ron.
“No, that’s alright guys, it won’t take me long. I’ll meet up with you shortly at The Three Broomsticks.” said Harry.
They went there separate ways agreeing to meet up within the hour for dinner together.
Harry entered Hogwarts and walked the familiar halls until he came to the gargoyle that Snape had decided to leave in remembrance of Albus. Looking at it, he smiled, thinking fondly of all the passwords his former headmaster used to come up with.
After saying the password that Severus had given him, Harry entered and prepared to step onto the spiral staircase that would bring him up to the Headmaster’s chambers. He noticed that somebody was coming down it so he waited until whoever it was got off.
There was not much light in the small chamber. Harry couldn’t make out who the person was, so instead of being rude, he just stood there looking down at his feet as he didn’t want to get caught staring. Harry heard the unknown person stop in front of him and a large shadow fell across him. Startled, Harry looked up, right into the face of a sneering Lucius Malfoy.
