Chapter Eleven

The next morning was bright as June, even though it was September. Harry woke early to the sight of a sky washed clean clear blue, and the sound of music downstairs.

He found some clothes, refrained from waking Ron, who looked worn and broken down by the regime of book-reading, and went downstairs pulling his jumper over his head and grinning a bit.

Charlie was wearing a big dark-purple Weasley jumper and poking suspiciously at a panful of eggs, and Malfoy and Ginny were dancing around the kitchen to 'You Charmed The Heart Right Out of Me.'

Everyone grinned at him and got on with what they were doing. Ginny was wearing her little sundress, and Malfoy was in his pyjamas, and Harry maintained complete calm and congratulated himself on some personal growth.

Besides, Malfoy'd said she was this friendly towards Malfoy when he was around, so she was still interested, and she couldn't be too upset about him siding with Mrs Weasley. The important bit was that all this swaying across the kitchen floor with her arm around Malfoy's neck was in fun.

"Oh I never thought that such a sweet charm would do me such, do me such harm," Malfoy carolled plaintively, using a wooden spoon as a makeshift microphone.

Ginny laughed and Malfoy laughed with her, hers bright and his deep, and it went with the music. Their mingled hair was bright in the sunlight.

"Draco, I think the eggs need to be – made to go on the other side," Charlie announced doubtfully.

Malfoy forsook Ginny at once and she gave Harry a sideways sort of look: he grinned at her.

"We all love Saturdays," Malfoy informed the kitchen at large. "Saturdays mean Charles is safe at home."

Charlie leaned against the sideboard and grinned at him. "Your girl was asking after you," he said after a pause.

Malfoy's voice was sharp. "Not when anyone could hear her?"

"No," Charlie said, and sounded amused despite himself. "She gave the impression that she wanted to have, ahem, a private word with the new teacher."

"The scandalous wench," Malfoy commented with obvious pride.

"So," Charlie asked, and hesitated. "Should I give her your love?"

"Tell her I'm thinking about her," Malfoy answered, and reached behind to adjust his pyjama collar. "Please, thank you, Charles," he added, and smiled winningly at him.

Charlie rolled his eyes and Malfoy got them all plates. Soon Ron, called from his book-worn sleep by the call of food, joined them and they all settled in to eggs leaning against the kitchen surfaces.

"You see how my Levitation Charm is so perfect," Malfoy said, demonstrating how he had been wronged and cheated and distracted during his OWLs.

Harry caught his glass of orange juice, floating on the air at a dangerous angle, and took a drink. "I see how it's a good thing I have the reflexes of a Seeker."

"The best Seeker at school," Ginny put in loyally.

"Pfft!" Malfoy said comprehensively.

"Youngest in a century," Harry said. "I just mention it."

"I believe I just mentioned, pfft!" Malfoy said. "Slytherin was lulling you people into a false sense of complacency.
