Plot: Draco and Harry get into trouble and as punishment Dumbledore makes Draco spend his summer with the Dursleys. Draco gets a taste of ehat it's like to really be Harry Potter and they form a bond over the summer. The song "Lemon Boy" by cavetown is the ultimate inspiration for this.

Before we begin if there is anyone who can find a better or make a better cover for the story I'd appreciate it! The story will start in chamber of secrets towards the end of the school year just to get to the main part of the story :)

"Thanks for that, Potter! Do you always need this much attention?" The young slytherin sneered as they were being led to Dumbledores office. Harry rolls his eyes annoyed by Draco's words, "You're just mad because at least I get attention."

"I get plenty of attention-"

"Clearly not."

"Boys, please. Calm down. " Dumbledore lowers his hands as he tells them to relax and opens his office door and leads them inside.  His phoenix glancing over as she hears the heavy door open. 

"You think you're so great just because you killed a big snake." Draco whispers close to Harry's ear.

"You think you're better than everyone else just because you have money, actually, I think I have more than you."

"You wish." He repeats the words that Harry had said to him earlier that year. 

"Now, now stand in front of my desk please as we have some important manners to discuss." Dumbledore lowers himself to his chair as he looks at the young boys. "Now I've already spoke to your parents, Draco, and might I add the words they said were not very friendly and were outrages by my proposal to getting you two to get along because this rivalry has simply gone too far. It's been causing distractions for your fellow students, professors and I see it has been affecting your performance in regards to your education. I do not wish to see either of you seriously hurt, so Drsco this summer you will be spending the summer with Harry and his family."

Neither of the boys could believe their ears. On one side Harry was amused and could not wait to witness seeing Draco have a mental breakdown at the thought of having to deal with muggles but also that meant sharing a room with him which he was not too happy about and he wondered how his family would take it if there was another wizard in the house, one that was even worse than him. One that would have no problem telling them off or treating them badly just because he came from a different background. 

"You've gor to be joking! I'm not gonna be staying with some muggles especially ones related to Potter!" Draco nearly stomps his foot on the ground in frustration but the twinkle in Dumbledores eye as he looks at the young boy who was washed over in disbelief and felt like his wife world was crashing down. 

"What about my family? Do they know of the circumstances?" Harry asks and the old man nods, "I've sent an owl to deliver the letter they have but no choice to obey or there would be consequences." He smirks.

"Now, I would get ready and pack seeing as it's your return home tomorrow morning. Have a fantastically splendid summer."

"Move, Potter!" Draco pushes Harry down the aisle in the train even though there was like dozens of students in front of him. "I can't go anywhere, Malfoy there's people in front of me."  

"This is why I should've been first-"

"No, because you would've hexed them and I don't want anymore trouble- here let's just go in this compartment." He opens the door but Draco did not bother to move forward. "I'm a slytherin,  Slytherins sit in the back." He says as he looks towards the end of the train. Crabbe and Goyle following Pansy and he felt like he would miss out on their conversations.

Why did he have to spend the summer with Harry?

"Fine,  but you won't know where you're going and it won't be my problem if you get lost." Harry shrugs and looks out the window taking in the scenery before the train would start and he'd leave his real home.

He hears a defeat sigh and the close of the door. He looks over as Draco plops down on the seat in front of him, leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest. He stared at the scenery as well with his eyebrows furrowed. "I'd kill that old man if I could."

"I don't think you ever could."

"We'll see about that."

"Anything from the trolley, dears?" The same old lady from the beginning of the year with a trolley full of sweets stops by their door. Draco stands up and walls over, "You have any sour?" He asks as he looks over.

"Oh! Yes, here we are. Pick whatever you'd like." She grabs some containers that had different sour candies and Draco took his time picking out what looked good to him. "How about you sweetie?" She asks Harry and he nods, waiting for Draco to be finished then grabs somethings for himself and pays her. "Thank you."

"You shouldn't just eat that, should've gotten something more filling." Harry tells him.

"We'll just eat the rubbish you have at your house." Draco says as he pops a piece of candy into his mouth.

"Good luck, my cousin Dudley eats everything." Harry spoke as he broke off some of his food and puts it in his mouth.

"What kind of name is Dudley?"

"What kind of name is Draco?" Harrh smirks and looks up at the blonde boy.

"I'm named after a constellation."

Harry lifts his eyebrows and returns back to snacking. Most of the ride was quiet except the sounds of boxes of sweets being opened and the crunching with hard candy from Draco's pile.  "I can't believe my father can't do anything about this." He hisses as he becomes frustrated with opening a box that it almost pained Harry to watch.

"Do you want some help?" Harry offers as he could see a better way of opening the box but Draco just turns to his side, resting one of his legs onto the seat as he blocks Harry's view of the box as he continues to try to get it open. 

"You're ridiculous- just give me!" Harry pushes himself off the seat and walks over to Draco who sneers at him. "I can do it myself. The box is just defective...might have to use a charm." He clears his throat, whipping his wand out.

"We can't use magic outside of Hogwarts. "

Draco nearly pointed the wand at Harry who just smirks at the blonde.

"Fine." Draco looks down as he hands over the box. Harry takes it carefully and manipulates one of the corners of the box and the rest of the flaps were able to be opened. "I had problems opening it myself before Ron showed me."

"Weasel." Draco mumbles under his breath and Harry rolls his eyes, hopping back onto his seat.

There was a few moments of silence as the scenery slowly changes from the green landscape and endless hills and nothing in sight but animals into what looked like a small town and the train comes to a stop. "Follow me." Harry says as he leads them out of the train, leaving their trash behind and Draco follows him out.

They both walk to where they can collect their luggage and he leads them to where he expected his Aunt to pick him up from. He was caught by surprise when she saw her hanging an arm outside the window with a cigarette in her fingers.  Maybe she wasn't so perfect. 

"What is that thing? Surely we're not riding in that." Draco scoffs as they walk closer to the car. "Shush." Harry didn't want to be in trouble before even getting to the house. It was bad enough he was placed with people that didn't understand him and his kind.

"Aunt Petunia this is Draco...Dum-"

"I don't care to hear what that deranged man says again, just get in." She ignores the presence of the other boy, not looking in his direction which made Draco feel offended. He furrows his eyebrows as he gets in the back seat alongside Harry. 

He's a lemon and he's also a boy. He's everything!
