RP: Harry and Draco Arrive
Who: Harry, Draco, maybe others.
When: May 2, 2003/February 17, 2038
Where: Hogwarts
What: the Chosen one arrives with Malfoy in tow
Harry despised Victory Day, Remembrance Day, or the Anniversary, or any of the other names of the Second May. People celebrated their victory, but forgot about all the people who had died not just that day, but in the thirty years leading to that day. People never wanted to face reality.
Harry understood. He didn't want to face realy either, but he had no choice. He had to be there. The Ministry set up outside the gates. That first year, McGonagall had allowed them onto the grounds, but after that, she'd put her foot down and said that the safety of her students was more important than a few speeches. So the speeches were done right outside, where the Death Eaters and their forces had gotten ready to slaughter a school. People didn't think of that either.
Harry knew all of that, so instead he made sure to drink a little (or a lot). At this point, alcohol barely did anything. High functioning, or something, he wasn't sure if that was how Hermione had called it. She was probably right; she always was. The damn problem was that high functioning meant that Harry just got mean but still had to deal with the bullshit of the day.
When they were done, there were people to talk to, people he didn't want to talk to, until he made his way toward the end. He wasn't surprised to see Malfoy watching him. It was becoming their own tradition, finding each other and bitching about the day. "Malfoy, another thrilling year. How are you doing?"
