Chapter 4: What!

Everyone in the Great Hall looked at who is laughing and sees Luna is in fact the one. With a quiet laughing Rowena right beside her. So Blaise walks over and asks, everyone is quiet, "What are you laughing about Luna? Not something loony I hope."

Luna just smiles and says," Oh just that you don't want to piss him off. And I believe the prince will sweep him off his feet. I need to go and send a friend a letter so I'm taking my leave."

And with that Luna skips out leaving Blaise with a thoughtful look. It was silent before Ginny spoke up, "Well Harry will forgive me in time. It's in his nature to do so."

That got Rowena to laugh, loudly, and hard. That got all the faces in the Great Hall shocked. The only ones that weren't shocked are Dumbledore and, surprisingly, Snape. When she could finally stop, she says, "I don't think so. Harry is the kind that if you broke his trust badly, then you can't get it back. So the people, who have betrayed him, stay away or you have us, the founders, to deal with. He has won our hearts, even the cold heart of Salazar. You didn't se him like we did when Albus brought him in. Even now Harry, won't tell us all that happened in that place."

Ginny got red in the face and was about to retort when the Great Hall doors opened and in walked Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. No one, not even Draco expected them to show up. So instead Ginny just storms out of there, dragging Ron and Hermione. Draco stood up and went to hug his parents and asks, "What are you doing here mother and father? I haven't sent my normal post yet."

They just smiled and handed him a letter addressed to the Malfoy family. Draco opens it and reads:

Dear the Malfoy Family,

I'm sending this to you in hopes you can help. I know that Lucius is looking for a way to get out and so I have an offer for you. IT entails that you, Lucius, help your defense against the dark arts professor. Narcissa can be our counselor of sorts. Its where the person everyone will go to for help. I hope you accept this offer.

From,

A Founder of Hogwarts

P.S. Draco, do what your heart is telling you to do. They will accept it as your choice.

Draco looks up and smiles. He turns to Rowena and asks, "Where is the room he and his friends are staying at? I want to call a truce."

His parents look confused when Rowena said, "Sure. You'll have to follow me. Mrs. and Mr. Malfoy, you follow me as well. Draco and I will explain the events that just happened."

With a small nod to Dumbledore, the Malfoy's and Rowena left the Great Hall. As soon as they left, whispering was all that could be heard. Dumbledore was thinking that this will be an interesting year and is hoping the Weasley's don't take it too far. He is also is trying to think of a punishment for Ronald Weasley on getting Harry mad. He couldn't think of one so Dumbledore turned to Severus and says, "I need to speak with you later Severus. I'm having a hard time coming up with something and I know you would be perfect for that."

Severus smirked and said, "I'll gladly help. I just need to do my afternoon class. I'll visit before dinnertime. I'll see how my new snake is doing after dinner."

Meanwhile with the Malfoy's and Rowena in the hallway. …

Rowena mostly let Draco explain the events so then she can go into more detail on their decision. She can tell that Lucius and Narcissa are impressed with Harry. Only Rowena could tell that Narcissa is thinking of wedding plans between Draco and Harry. As they got near Harry's room Rowena stopped. She noticed that only Narcissa noticed because as soon as she stopped, Narcissa mentioned that their guide has stopped. They stopped and looked back to Rowena and see her with a thoughtful look.

Draco was the one to break the silence by asking, "What is the matter Rowena? Are we near Harry's Room?"

She just smiled and says, "We are near his rooms. His friends are obviously going to be with him as well. You just need to promise us, the founders, first before I let you in."

Lucius was the one to ask, "To which founder or to all and what is the promise? I want to apologize Harry and to make up for it. I know that Narcissa will be the easiest that Harry will trust because she hasn't treated him like Draco and I have. In fact she's done nothing at all."

Rowena started saying, "The promise is so we know you would be true to your word. You'll understand why we do this when you get to know Harry."

Narcissa asks, "So who -."

"That'll be me, you'll be doing the promise too." Said a voice at the side. It was Salazar the was leaning against a snake curled on a tree branch picture. After a few minutes in shock the group did the promise. He just smiles and says, "Okay this portrait it the entrance to Harry's room. I'm going to chat with head of the house."

Salazar said that as he left. Rowena just rolled her eyes at his antics. She coughed to get their attention and said, "Well just know on the portrait. I'm sure either Harry or one of his friends will answer. I probably will be doing damage control in the Great Hall from the sorting and from what Harry did to Ron. So I'm going to leave you on your own."

With that Rowena left. Narcissa is the one from the group to go up to the portrait and knock. They hear a muffled voice that sounded like it said, "Coming."

"What do-," Started Arianna. She stopped talking when she saw who it was. She then smiled slyly. That got the group to look at her nervously. Arianna then puts a finger to her lips and let them in. Confused they enter and immediately they hear laughter. The group notices that the place looks like a slytherin common room.

-WHAM-

Draco managed to catch the body that rammed into him and kept his balance. He looks down and smiles. The body had a familiar mess of hair. It seems like that Harry was dazed when he ran into Draco. Then he heard some more laughter.
