"Harry, it's almost time to go, how have you not finished packing yet?" Draco yelled up the stairs.
"Well Draco the fact of the matter is I am packing myself, like a muggle, where you have had your elves packing for you"
"Harry, I don't see why you insist on packing yourself and doing everything the same way that muggles do, Harry if you don't hurry up now we will miss the flight!"
Upstairs Harry was packing varying items, shoes and socks and shirts of many different kinds. Three weeks in a cabin up in Scotland, while yes it sounds perfect Christmas in Scotland, Harry thought it was an awful long time to be away from the Cafe, but yes he had promised and a promise he intended to keep. It had been a while since him and Draco had spent any length of time together doing something just the two of them. He had decided he was going to take the locket that he had bought for Draco to show his love, that he had made especially for Draco. But he couldn't for the life of him find it. And no magic could find it because it had been charm and magic protected. He flopped down on the bed and saw something glinting in the corner of his room. "Oh please let that be it, the silver box that it is in. Harry waltzed over to the corner and picked up the box.
"Yes! I freaking found it. Thank Merlin for that!" He threw the box into the suitcase and zipped it up. Just as a small elf walked into the room
"Mr Malfoy sent me to get your case Mr Potter"
"No it's fine Lilith, I can take this one. Go into the kitchen and help yourself to some bread and wine when we have left okay?"
"Oh thank you Mr Potter."
"Oh its not issue Lilith. And there is some gold on the counter in the kitchen, 30 pieces. That should be enough to buy you food for you and your family. If you need the rest of it, then there is a small bag hidden in the pantry behind the potatoes. Take that, there is only 20 pieces there but it should be enough to see you through the next 3 weeks quite nicely. Remember that is pretty much your payment for the entire Christmas holidays, we won't be back until well into the New Year."
"Yes, that's more than enough! Oh thank you Mr Potter"
"Oh don't worry about it Lilith, Just make sure Draco doesn't know about it okay?"
The small house elf quickly blazed out of the room and down the stairs to notify Draco that Harry was now packed and was making his way down the stairs. A few moments later Harry wandered down the stairs
"Ready sweetie?"
"More to the point are you?"
the cold tone in his voice made it obvious that he was not impressed with Harry
"Always the same, you Gryffindors. Never on time for anything and always doing things the muggle way"
"Oh shush Draco, I was finding something for you. I will give you it on New Years. Will you learn some patience? Always the same you Slytherins, no patience."
He said in a mocking tone, a cheeky smile appeared on his face. They loaded their cases into the back of the trunk of the carriage and clambered in.
