Resorting of Gryffindor

"What will you get tattooed?" Harry asked.

"Probably some flowers. I'm thinking Sunflowers, Magnolias, Jasmine, maybe Poppies. Maybe a combination. What do you think I should get?" He asked.

Harry thought about it. The mark was fairly faded so light colors shouldn't be a problem. Plus magical tattoos must be better than muggle tattoos. "I'm thinking yellow Sunflowers, red Roses, and blue Larkspur. The primary colors will stand out against your skin." Harry suggested. 

Draco had not thought of Roses or Larkspur. They were both fairly pretty flowers, and they stood out well with Sunflowers. "I think you are a genius. The colors seem nice, and they would look nice altogether." 

The two talked for awhile till the Slytherin section finally filled up. Blaise found them and they had a little section to themselves in the back. Mostly because they were still a bit of the outcasts. Harry had finally been warmed into the Slytherin house, but being somewhat more than friends with Draco made them tense. In their eyes, Draco would always be a Malfoy. And the Malfoy name has become synonymous with cowards. Blaise on the other hand was friends and enemies with all the Slytherins. He was both hated and loved by all. Hated because he was the sneakiest and loved because he played the nicest. No one ever knew if he was acting nice or plotting something, and so people naturally feared and admired him.

But Harry and Draco could tell that Blaise was genuine to them. Blaise had been nice to Harry for years, and he looked past Draco's mistakes.

"So are you two shagging over the break?" Blaise came out and asked.

Both of them immediately blushed. "What the bloody hell, Blaise? We are not shagging over the break." Harry defended.

"For once Harry is right. I'm just going to help him clean up his new place." Draco informed him.

Blaise made a suggestive face. "So you two will be moving furniture?" He smirked.

Draco blushed and threw a crumpled up piece of paper at him. Although they knew he didn't mean harm. Soon the train started to move and they were on their way to King's Cross station.

Halfway through the ride, Draco slipped off and headed into the Ravenclaw section and found Hermione. She was in a four person compartment, but only she and Luna occupied it.

"Draco. How come you're here?" Hermione greeted.

"What did Harry tell you about his break plans?" Draco asked.

"That he had some business to attend to regarding his house, so he'd be sleeping there. Although he promised to visit at the Burrow. Why do you ask?" 

"Harry is cleaning up the house and hiring a whole bunch of people to strip the place of all barriers, and then he's adding more barriers. Not to mention, he's cleaning up the place by himself. He didn't want to tell you guys so you wouldn't go out of your way to help him. Although I know you guys would help him whether he wanted it or not. I just thought you should know. I'll be helping him since I've got nothing better." Draco informed him. 

"Well Skipper and I have no real plans except be with the Weasleys. I would definitely want to help Harry clean up. The place is a pigsty." She had to admit. "Years and years of dust plus a negative energy cake up in the house. Although we'll need to get rid of the curse. Last time I nearly hexed Harry because we were all so moody." 

"Harry is going to get rid of the curse first thing that way he can work faster." Draco told her. "I'll see you later. I need to get back." Draco closed the door and headed back to Harry and Blaise.

The three talked the duration of the train ride, and would occasionally be stopped by other Slytherins. Most of them inviting them to family parties or private New Year's parties. Although Harry was neither available nor interested. He was more into parties with people he knew.
