AN: Yay! I'm glad Wikipedia didn't fail me! Here is the first part of Chapter 38, I have hit a bit of a block that I am working through, but I wanted to give you guys what i have so far!

Chapter 38: Draco Malfoy

“We have little less than a month, everyone.” Minerva randomly announced that night over supper.

“Less than a month till what?” Ron asked, his mouth full, mashed potatoes spilling out.

“Close your mouth when you eat Mr. Weasley! There is no need to shove it that full!” Minerva looked at him in disgust and handed him a napkin as he shrugged and looked around the table, as if asking, “What did I do now?”

“Until school starts again of course.” Minerva continued after she was satisfied Ron’s manners were up to snuff.

“Oh, yeah, that.” Ron’s mood turned instantly sour, once again reminded that he didn’t know who had gotten Head Boy over him, and he mentioned as much grumbling into his plate, stabbing his roast much harder then what was necessary.

“Oh quite your gripping already, didn’t he tell you, it’s Mr. Potter.” Moody growled out, hating a whiner more than anything

“What?!” Ron’s jaw dropped, unfortunately his mouth was still full of food, which cascaded out unnoticed by him into his lap.

“MR. WEASLEY!” Minerva bellowed over everyone, “act your age, or I will make the proper changes!

Ron managed to close his mouth, but he could not wipe the hurt from his face as he stared at his friend. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He whispered pathetically.

“Because,” Harry hissed, simultaneously not wanting to create a scene and yet wishing he could blast Moody into the floor, “I was going to, but you kept on an on about how you were angry that someone else had gotten it over you, then when I had a chance to talk to you alone, all of this other started up!” Harry’s voice, that had started off as a harsh whisper was now to the point of a yell. He stopped, breathing heavy, waiting for Ron’s response.

“Oh, yeah well, that makes sense. You could have told me though, mate. I’m happy for you, I really am.” He even managed a small smile to show there were no hard feelings.

Harry didn’t buy it, but he decided to let it go for the moment, they would talk about it again, he was sure.

“Now that is settled,” Minerva continued, irritated that the discussion had gotten so far off topic, “we have some things to learn before classes start, and things to buy in Diagon Alley, and of course, there is still the issue of Mr. Malfoy, who I must add has still not gained consciousness.” She paused for a moment to take a drink of her pumpkin juice, allowing Moody to take over.

“As has been already decided, and I think most of you know, because Snape has become very adept at legillimacy, we have decided it to be in the best interest of everyone to study occlumency. Harry has already had some training, but he and Snape didn’t get very far.” Moody stopped to let Minerva continue.

“We feel that we might be able to use some legillimacy on Draco, to see if we can get inside his head and figure out why he will not awaken.” She looked around the room before continuing.

“This exercise would be beneficial not only to the students returning to Hogwarts, but also to the adults as well, we encourage everyone to take part.”

The people around the room slowly nodded their heads in agreement. Harry looked around the room and caught the eye of Minerva who gave him a meaningful look before saying, “Harry when you are finished can you please come with me.”

Harry placed his napkin on the table and stood, nodding to the rest he followed Minerva out of the room.
