Harry'd barely been able to absorb being in the castle again after so many months before McGonagall called for the attention of the crowd. He tried not to let his mind wander to how the place had been home for so any years, only to become a military base and then the site of the battle that would forever define his life. If it wasn't for the shocked gasps and reactions of the people around him, forcing his attention back to the Headmistress' speech, he might have been lost in his own thoughts for quite a while longer.

Leave it to McGonagall to come up with a way to revamp the entire running of the school instead of just the physical building. Harry smirked and nodded slightly as she finished speaking, keeping his own thoughts on the changes to himself.

What would the Sorting Hat said to me as a fifth year? Would I be wearing green right now if I had spent a year under Snape's supervision? Harry glanced down, running a hand over the red of his tie before his gaze settled on the man standing next to him. How much could have been ( ... )

Draco didn't like Hogwarts and he wasn't afraid to admit it, at least to himself. It had never really been the home of fond memories for him. Defeat and loss were the kinds of things that lurked in the corners for Draco and the entire atmosphere clung to his skin and tried to dig its way beneath the surface.

It was only with the help of Draco's implacable Malfoy Mask and Harry by his side that Draco managed to avoid having a freak-out of epic proportions. Merlin . . . he hated this place.

As if things couldn't get any worse, McGonagall had to open up her mouth and start making speeches and declarations about changing the very face of Hogwarts. Draco was sure most everyone else thought this to be a grand idea, eliminating the Sorting during first year. It was going to do things like encourage friendship and harmony. Draco thought it was utterly ridiculous.

Honestly, what was there to Hogwarts without Houses? You had no family, no identity without them. And that was, of course, forgetting the fact that House rivalries started ( ... )

Harry tugged on the elbow of Draco's robes before letting go and heading towards the nearest table. He grabbed a glass of whatever was being offered for himself and one for Draco, handing it to him as he turned to look on the dance floor. The music started and couples started pairing up. He sighed before he realized he was doing it and smiled sheepishly at Draco as he shrugged ( ... )

Draco followed Harry and accepted the glass, throwing glances at the dance floor. It was already filling up with dancing couples, all moving along with varying degrees of grace. There was a familiar conflicting itch in Draco's skin as he watched, one that said he didn't really like to dance like this but he was obligated to, as a Malfoy and as a Pureblood ( ... )

Harry raised a brow to Draco, one that matched his smirk. The game was on, and in true Harry & Draco fashion, they'd survive the night on the competition between them alone. Glancing about the room, Harry made note of quite a few more Gryffindor faces than Slytherin ones - meaning the odds would be against him. Not that he was disheartened, not in the slightest. Like Draco, Harry was up for the challenge.

He settled his drink in the palm of his other hand, fingers curling up from the bottom of the glass as he offered the other to Draco.

"It's settled then. We'll meet back here in..let's say, an hour to check in and keep a running tally. Agreed?" He waited for Draco to take his hand ina firm shake before they went their separate ways to battle out the dance floor.
