Chapter 8

Blinding Discoveries

Draco re-read the letter he had just written, not knowing why he was going to send it.

Father,

As you know, now that you are no longer in service of Voldermort I have been trying to befriend Harry Potter again. Well, I think that I am actually making progress…but I am disturbed by how he was treated by those muggles. I will not say much in that area, not wanting to betray his trust, but he was mistreated horribly… I was hoping that perhaps, he could come over for the Christmas holidays. I haven’t actually asked him yet, but I didn’t want to ask him until I knew I had your permission. Please hurry with your response.

Love,
Draco

Draco folded the letter up and gave it to their family owl. “Hurry up with this one ok?” The owl hooted before taking off.

Harry sat at the embankment, still smiling from the exchange of words that him and Draco shared. He laid down again and looked up at the stars. “So…how do you guys feel having a queer for a son?” He asked quietly and he felt the ache in his heart, knowing that they wouldn’t respond. “Yea, I know, and to top it all off, I fancy a Malfoy, you must be disappointed in me.”

“If they were disappointed in you just for that Mr. Potter, they would be horrible parents.” Harry jerked his body up and looked toward the voice to see one Severus Snape standing a few feet away from him, looking mildly worried.

Severus walked over and sat down next to him and looked at him, “You know that it’s past curfew right?” Harry nodded and sighed, “I’m sorry sir I will go back now.” Severus laughed, “I didn’t sit down on wet grass just so I could send you back to your dorm Harry I think we need to talk.” Harry looked up at him and waited for him to start the conversation.

“Your godfather was, as you so crudely put it, a queer. Him and Remus Lupin were together right up until his death. Your father always knew, and he didn’t think twice about it, he didn’t care. So your parents wouldn’t care that you preferred your own sex, but I suggest you hunt the werewolf down and talk to him more about that subject. Now, the fact that you fancy a Malfoy, which I am only assuming and hoping that you fancy Draco and now Lucius, please correct me if I am wrong.” Severus gave Harry a minute to speak and when he didn’t he continues. “I happen to know that Draco prefers his own sex, and I know that Lucius doesn’t care. But as your parents being disappointed in you for your interest…they would be fools if they were. The Malfoy’s are a very rich and powerful family, they are now considered to be a light family and they are very protective of their own.”

Harry nodded slowly, “So your saying that my parents wouldn’t care at all...but you want me to find Professor Lupin and ask him more about it to be sure?”

Snape looked at him and smiled, “Exactly Harry, and it’s not Professor anymore…he doesn’t teach here. Anyway, I must be going….and I am not surprised that you are having trouble sleeping if you have been out here. Go back to your dorm Mr. Potter.” With that Severus stood up and walked away without a second glance back.

Harry smiled and stood up, draping his invisibility cloak over him. He had a letter to write.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Harry sat down at his desk and chewed on the end of his quill, he didn’t really know what to way to him, it had been…at least 2 months since they had talked. He took a deep breathe and started to write.

Professor Lupin,

How have you been? I hope you have been ok, I’m sorry that I haven’t wrote anything in a while, I’ve been busy thinking and stuff. I was hoping that you could come here so we could talk…it’s important, or at least it is to me…but if you are too busy it’s ok, I’ll understand.

Love,
Harry

Harry shrugged, it was the best he could come up with, he tied the letter to Hedwig’s foot and kissed her beak. “Be careful.” He murmured as he sent her away and she hooted back to him in appreciation for his concern.

The next morning Draco was pleasantly surprised to see their owl drop a letter down for him and suddenly he also felt anxious. What did his father have to say about him wanting to invite Harry over? Would his father laugh? Draco opened the letter and read it slowly.

Draco,

I am very pleased to hear that you have befriended the Potter boy, I’m sure he needs as many friends as he can get. I am confused to hear that the muggles have treated him badly. I know that his Uncle shot and blinded him during the summer, but everyone at the minister took it as an accident, people who are drunk don’t always think in their right mind, but he was charged for it anyway…but it wasn’t as severe as it would’ve been if it wasn’t an accident. I will look into the matter further, knowing that you wouldn’t tell me anything else even if I asked.

As for him being here for Christmas…I guess I don’t see how it would harm anything, write me back after you ask him, and if he wants to I will speak to the headmaster about it. Please take care Draco, and do well in school.

Love always,
Lucius

Draco smiled, he hoped his father would find something good enough to make at least the oldest muggle go to jail for life. Draco looked over to the Gryffindor table and blushed when he saw Harry looking at him. Draco looked back down and decided to ask Harry later on that night how he would feel about spending the holiday’s with them. It was November and there would be plans to make if he accepted.

Harry didn’t know how to take the missing letter that morning, he finally decided that Remus probably didn’t want to talk to him. He sighed and looked over at Malfoy, who looked extremely happy. He was holding a letter and Harry felt a little jealous that Draco could still receive letters from his father.

When Draco looked up at him Harry tried to mask what he was feeling and he must’ve done a good job because Draco smiled and went back to eating his breakfast. Harry turned around and started to shove his food from one side of his plate to the other and he glanced up at the head table to see if Severus was watching him, which he was. Harry sighed and started to eat his breakfast, not feeling hungry at all.
