~Jay~

"I'm so glad you guys are here!" I exclaimed as I entered Professor Dumbledore's office for a private meeting with my parents.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" My mother asked me.

"Harry is a dastardly Slytherin, that's what! And I want you two to ship him off somewhere! I refuse to live with that during the summer holidays!" I explained.

"Now, don't you think you're being a bit rash-" My mother started.

"No, I think Jay has the right idea. We could give him up for adoption. No one would even have to know except Albus. I know he wants us to keep Harry as leverage over someone we aren't sure of but c'mon, even if it gets out that he's up for adoption, they won't know it's their son. It's nearly full proof!" My dad seemed to be completely on board.

"But we took him in as our own, we can't just send him off now. He'd most certainly never trust us or Albus again." Mother argued. "And what then? You-Know-Who will surely sieze the opportunity. He'll twist that boy to be exactly like him. We can't and should't let that happen."

"He already distrusts us, Lily. We've put up with him long enough, haven't we? It's time he goes, then we can focus all of our energy on Jay, like we're supposed to. He needs to be ready when He actually does come back." He gave mum a look that said 'you know I'm right.' She gave in. Smirking to myself, I said goodbye to my parents and headed back to class. My best plan yet.

~Harry~

We all stood outside in the crisp autum air waiting for flying iinstructions. I can't believe they're still making me be here despite not being allowed to fly...

"Jay, you're late." I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Sorry Professor, I was just having a meeting with my parents in Professor Dumbledore's office." He gave me a mischievous smirk when he said that... To say the least, it made me uneasy. He's up to something, I know it, but what?

Sitting on the grass, with my hands in my head, I watched everyone call upon their brooms. This is already so boring. Suddenly, a boy in Jay's house (Neville I believe), flew way off course and slammed into the castle. He promptly fell to the ground and was taken to Madame Pomfrey. I noticed Jay picked something off the ground where Neville had fallen. A girl in Gryffindor noticed as well, "You are going to give his rememboral back right?" She had asked.

"Of course." Jay insisted. Though he quickly turned to Ronald and said, "Eventually." Causing them both to laugh but I just rolled my eyes, not finding it at all funny. Our lesson was cut short to Jay's dismay and my joy. I couldn't wait for the day to be over and the weekend to come. I just hope that whatever Jay has been up to isn't going to ruin my life even further...

Draco and I sat in our dormitory when I was called to the headmasters office. What does the old coot want now? I wanted Draco to come with me in case he tried something but I was told explicitly to come alone. Draco did, however, followed me to the gargoyle and waited just outside as I went up. I entered his office to find my parents and Jay sitting in front of the headmaster's desk. "Welcome, my boy, please take a seat. We have something important to discuss." I gave him a confused look as I sat in the remaining chair.

My mother turned to me, "Now, Harry, you know how important it is for Jay to succeed in everything he does because he's our last hope should You-Know-Who return." Despite my disgust for the statement and my bother, I nodded. "Your father and I believe it's best for the family that we focus more of our time and energy on him. Because of this, we're sending you to an orphanage..."

I couldn't help myself and lost it, "WHAT?! An orphange?! Why? It's not like you two waste any energy on me in the first place!"

"Honey, it's not a permanent situation. Once it's proven You-Know-Who isn't ever coming back or once he's defeated once and for all, you can certainly come home. You'll still be able to come to school of course, we wouldn't want to hinder your education. We're just doing what we think is best-"

"Stop lying to him, mom! It's really because you're a slimy snake and no one wants you!" Jay interjected.

"Jay!" Lily shouted.

"He's right, Lily, and you know it. There is no reason to lie. He'll find out the truth eventually. He isn't even our son!" James stated in a loud voice. Despite the fact that I had already suspected this, I couldn't stop my eyes from watering.

"James!" The old codger boomed, obviously upset about the information James just let slip.

"I knew it! That's why neither of you ever really cared for me!" I yelled in anger. Lily looked sorry yet embarrassed in a way while James and Jay just had identicle sinister looks on their faces. I let my magic lash out as I stood and rushed back down to Draco. As soon as he saw my face, he pulled me into a tight hug. Once we heard footsteps coming down behind me, we rushed to the Slytherin common room. I want nothing to do with them ever again.

Once in the safety of our dormitory, I told Draco exactly what happened. "That's just bloody awful. But, hey, since you're being sent to an orphanage, you can hopefully be adopted by a much more caring and respectable wizarding family." Draco replied at the end.

Cleaning my face off, I answered, "Yeah, you're right. Think you could convince your parents to do something like that? I know we haven't known each other long, but you're already like a brother to me."

A grand smile spread across Draco's face, "If I can't convince them I'll just have to have a nice chat with some of the other families close to mine, now won't I?" Smiling back at him, I pulled him in for another hug. Maybe things will start to look up...
