I don't own Harry Potter, if I did, the series would have gone much, much differently.

CHAPTER 2:
A Young Dragon and a Savior
"A shadow falls over the car, causing Harry to look up and gasp…"
The house is huge! More like a mansion than a house, really. Stopping the car, the adults get out and help the boys out of their buckles and down from the backseat.
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor!" Lucious says with a smile and an extravagant flourish. Harry's jaw drops, and Draco giggles.
"Come on! You can stay with me in my room!" Draco says excitedly, and then pauses as he thinks about it. "Right? Mommy? Daddy? He can, can't he?" He pulls Harry closer to his side and turns large, soulful eyes on his parents.
The adults look at each other, and shrug. Draco's mother then turns and smiles at the boys. "Sure, he can, Draco. One of us will come up and make him a bed in a bit, for now just show him where things are."
"Yes, mommy, thank you!" Draco grins, and, after reaching up to give his mother a kiss on the cheek, drags Harry into the house.
Harry is in awe. The house looked huge from the outside, but on the inside it is absolutely enormous! He's never seen any building this big, before. He tries very hard to keep track of the path to Draco's room, but there are just too many hallways and turns. He thinks that he'll need a map to get anywhere in this place!
The entire way up to Draco's room, Draco keeps up an excited babble about himself, his parents, the house, and anything else he can think of. He is speaking so quickly that Harry can't keep up with it.
Reaching his bedroom, Draco pulls Harry to a stop, and giggles as the other boy shakes himself in order to pay attention to Draco again.
"This is my room!" Draco announces, with a flourish that mimics that of his father, and a wide grin. He reaches up to the handle, turns it, and follows as Harry walks inside. He giggles yet again as Harry's jaw drops at the sight.
The room, just like the rest of the house, is huge. The walls are painted brown, green, and blue, as if to imitate trees! Come to think of it, they are painted as trees! And the carpet looks as if it were covered in soft, green grass. Tucked away in one corner off to the left of the doorway, there is a rather large bed. Next to it, there is a wardrobe that seems to be growing out of the floor and the wall, the way the trees are painted onto it! On the wall to the right, Harry can just barely see through a slightly open door that there is a bathroom attached. And there are toys! So many that they overflow the chest that is their home, in the corner opposite the bed.
Draco bounces into the room, and over to one of the open corners. With a giggle, he tells Harry, "Your bed can go here! It's the best spot to look at the stars from at night!" At this, Harry is slightly confused. Stars in a bedroom? That seems like nonsense to him. He looks up at the ceiling almost automatically, and lets out a gasp; the ceiling is painted a beautiful sky blue, with large white, fluffy clouds… Clouds that seem to be moving! Draco sees the other boy's expression, and he tilts his head to the side in confusion at it. "It's enchanted. Haven't you seen one before? Mommy and daddy did it for me! It shows the moon, and stars, and clouds at night, too! And it shows the sunsets, and the sunrises, and when it's rainy and other stuff!"
Harry looks at Draco, and starts to giggle. Draco, confused, looks quizzically at him, and sees inside his mouth. With a gasp, he runs to Harry, grabs his hand, and drags him back through the maze of hallways to his father's study, where he knows his parents will be talking.
Bursting in without knocking, his father starts to berate him, but his son's urgency stops him. "Draco, what is it?"
"Daddy, mommy! Look! Look! I know why he can't talk! Look in his mouth!"
Narcissa kneels to the floor and reaches out a hand to Harry. "Would you open your mouth for me, please, dear? Maybe then we can figure all this out."
Harry, with a hesitant nod, slowly opens his mouth to show her.
A/N: Sorry to cut it off there, but If I didn't…it would have gone on for a very, very long time (: You'll all just have to wait and see how the next chapter goes! Hehehe!
Thank you all for all of the favorites and follows, and thank you to those who reviewed! Please continue to do so!
Reviewers:
Blarh: Honestly? I haven't decided what to do with them, yet. If the fit into the story, then they will be dealt with. If not, then they will be forgotten.
Cee: It's not really random that they were in the market, if you were paying attention to what was written concerning their first conversation (: But I suppose I can explain it in further detail in a later chapter. Of which I do not yet know how many there will be.
