Draco had made it through the first day in this brand new world without much trouble, other than his best friends both thinking he was crazy and finding out that his father was a lot... He looked much happier. And he'd kept his hair shorter. Draco didn't know if it was his father not dying that had made the difference or what, but he seemed... good. Draco supposed he had to like that.

At least today he'd actually showered and taken the time to put himself together properly before leaving the dorm. He walked into the common room and stopped to wait for Pansy and Merlin to find him. Merlin. Getting to know someone he was supposed to have known since birth all over again was going to be a little weird, but he could handle it. Probably. Today couldn't be any weirder than the day before.

	Draco shrugged, glancing at Merlin again as they walked towards the Great Hall. "He's not a Mudblood," he said. "Things could be worse." Did someone actually know who Blaise's father was here? Maybe that's what was different about him. "And he's a Slytherin," Draco added. "Things could be a lot worse. It's not like he's a Hufflepuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin stared at his friend for a moment and then frowned. "Worse? Are you serious?" He asked and then shook his head. "He's lucky to even be in this school. He had to show his magical skills before he could even be accepted. And I think that if his father hadn't spent so much money for the ministry, he would have had a more difficult time."

Draco opened his mouth to protest what Merlin was staying, then stopped. That did sound like something the Dark Lord would instigate at Hogwarts. Keep the Mudbloods out and save the school for pure-bloods. Which Draco, of course, approved of completely. But Half-bloods... If they didn't have half-bloods, they'd all be as crazy as the Lestranges eventually. Draco knew his family's secrets well, and one of them was making sure to marry outside the usual pool every hundred years or so to keep from getting inbred.

"Who is his father?" he asked. Everyone had always wondered. There were all sorts of rumours about Blaise and his mother. Draco wasn't sure those still existed. "I can't recall."

"I think that you need to go to St. Mungos and have a check up. The nurse here is obviously not paying enough attention to your memory loss. I'm starting to get worried." Merlin told Draco as he stared back at him. There was something odd going on and he didn't know if Draco needed real help or not.

"Kingsley Shacklebolt." Merlin continued. "He works in the Department of Mysteries."

Kingsley Shacklebolt? Draco thought about it for a moment, then nodded. It wasn't one of the guesses they'd made, but only because Draco didn't recall Shacklebolt being anything more than an Auror in his own time. He looked at Merlin again. "Your father said it might take a little time for my memories to fully come back, but I'll be fine."

He touched Merlin's hand as they walked into the Great Hall. "You have nothing to worry about." He looked up at the staff table, watching his father talk to some blond professor he didn't know. It was so strange, seeing him here, looking so different. The shorter hair made him look younger and less serious. He wore robes still, but he didn't have the cane Draco was used to feeling terrified of. His family was safe. The rest of the world didn't matter. "Would me mother find it odd if I owled her for a picture of my brother, do you think?"

Merlin wasn't so sure about that. He wasn't sure why Draco's memory was gone in the first place, but he didn't want to question his friend. If his father said it would come back, it would come back. And there wasn't anything to worry about. Right?

"I suppose it's not too odd." Merlin replied with a casual shrug as he sat down at the Slytherin table. "You could go home and get one yourself if you don't want to write her. Father will let you use his floo until we learn to apparate next month."

Draco looked up at that. He could go home? He hadn't seen his mother in months, and ven then things had been... awful. She'd looked haggard and she'd been busy trying to hide the fact that she was terrified and cried all the time when he wasn't around.

"I think I'll go home, then," Draco said, pouring himself a cup of coffee and then reaching for the toast. "Do you want to come with me?" It seemed polite to ask, and Draco assumed his mother wasn't too different here than she was at home. Merlin was supposed to be one of his best friends. His mother would like him. "She'd be happy to see you."

	Merlin nodded at that. "Alright. Yes, I'll come home with you." He told him with a small smile, then bit into a piece of toast. He looked Draco over carefully. "It has been far too long since I've seen Cissa. She's like a mother to me, as well." He smiled at Draco and touched his hand. "Are you sure you can handle your screaming brat of a brother?"
