The last few days before school were fairly uneventful. Severus took Harry back to Malfoy Manor the day after the Diagon Alley trip, due to the fact he had to be at the school to set up his classroom for the year. He warned the Malfoys that he expected to see Harry alive and unharmed when he got back to the school. He claimed that it was because Dumbledore would kill him if the Boy-Who-Lived was harmed, but Harry knew better.

Draco and Harry prepared for the new school year by finishing the last few notes on their homework. Harry actually had finished his homework at Professor Snape's house, but he wanted Draco's opinion on his potions essay.

"You might want to add a note about changing stirring patterns here." Draco pointed with a feather quill to his mouth. Draco then showed him the DADA essay he was writing.

"You should add something about the side effects of Rictumsempra here. I mean, it's fine to use it in an attack, but you should mention any extra consequences of the long-term use of the spell." Harry suggested. "I'm not sure why you're fretting about DADA this year. Lockhart won't care much about your essay. Just remember his favorite color is lilac and you'll do fine." Harry teased. Draco rolled his eyes.

"Going to school is about more than just getting grades, Harry. School is where you learn how to learn for the rest of your life. You need to do your best on all your assignments, no matter who the teacher is or what they want. Put your best effort out, and then the teacher will have no leg to stand on when you go to the headmaster about your unfair grade." Draco lectured.

"Did you go to the headmaster about your unfair grades?" Harry asked.

"Once or twice. It wasn't fair Granger was getting better grades than me." Draco whined as he looked back down at his essay. Harry giggled and rolled his eyes.

"Perhaps she's smarter than you. Maybe that's why you like her." Harry suggested. He thought for a moment. "Your kids won't have a chance at slacking off in school."

"Please, she is not smarter than me. Okay, she is smart, really smart. Perhaps we are at the same level." Draco reflected as he finished up. He shoved Harry. "And don't talk about our children."

"So, you admit there will be children?" Harry teased.

"Shut up, scarhead." Draco shot back.

"Whatever you say, Ferretface." Harry retaliated. They both smirked and finished their assignments.

The next day, Lucius Malfoy brought Harry and Draco to the entrance of King's Cross. He promptly left after telling Draco not to embarrass the Malfoy name any further. As soon as he was out of earshot, Draco started mocking his father.

"Don't embarrass the family name, Draco. I mean, I did when I admitted to being Imperiused in court. My father did when he entrusted his family to the Dark Lord. But you, Draco, you must be perfect." Draco ranted mercilessly. Harry sighed.

Before they had a chance to enter the barrier, they saw the Weasleys come running up to them. They all seemed out of breath when they got there.

"Did we make it?" Percy asked his father. His father nodded.

"I think so." Mr. Weasley replied. He turned to Ginny and Mrs. Weasley. "How about you two go first?" Mr. Weasley suggested. Harry and Draco moved out of the way and politely let Mrs. Weasley and Ginny through. After them, Percy took Fred and got him through the barrier. Mr. Weasley grabbed George and ran through the barrier. Harry noted how they forgot about Ron.
