Prologue
Present day - 18 months after the final battle
The door flies open nearly knocking Kreacher to the ground,
"Master Harry, it appears Master Malfoy is home"
Harry turns around surprised, Draco had gone to see his parents for the evening and wasn't due back for several hours. Then Harry noticed the tear strained cheeks and red nose, the signs that Draco had been crying.
"I'm off to put the kettle on" said Harry "my auntie always said tea fixed everything. Then you can tell me whats happened"
Draco smiled gratefully and slumped into the sofa. He had to hand it to Kreacher, Grimmauld place looked incredible after Harry had requested it be made liveable and more like the common rooms and dorms familiar to the pair. Although, thought Draco, he had a hunch Dobby and Winky had helped.
Draco was stirred from this thought though by another more pressing matter, did Harry know how he took his tea? After all, it would be first one he'd made in the 12 months they'd been together. As this thought came to an end Harry reappeared.
"Erm Harry, as much as I know the tea is a thoughtful idea, how've you made it? I've never told you my tea preference..."
"Ah" said Harry, "the only other Slytherin I have an insight too took it strong with a hint of milk and two sugars, so I guessed that was how the Slytherin house elves always made tea"
"Perfect" said Draco "sometimes the connection you had to Tom serves us well"
Harry handed the tea over and sat down so Draco could start the tale of why he was home so early...
