Draco's Apartment

"What is it Potter?" Malfoy said after they had gone up a few floors.

"I'm sorry?" Harry asked being ripped away from his thoughts.

"You're staring. What is it?"

"Er... Nothing... Well... It's just..." Harry struggled to find the words.

"Spit it out Potter."

"Uh..." Harry took a beep breath. "I never expected that you would live in a place like this."

Draco rolled his eyes at the obvious lie, and walked out of the elevator when the doors opened. He opened the door to his apartment and walked in holding the door open for Harry. Harry walked in and looked around.

"Wood?" he said unintentionally.

"Very observant, Potter." Malfoy said in a sarcastic tone. "It is wood."

"It's beautiful." Harry whispered.

Malfoy smirked "It's Bubinga wood. Scorpius picked it out." He closed the door and walked past Harry saying "This way." Harry followed after taking another look around the dimly lit foryer.

They walked through a small hallway and up a small flight of stairs that were to the left of the front door. They stopped at the top if the stairs and Malfoy opened the door that was directly in front of him. "You can sleep in here."

Harry looked into the room. The walls and ceiling were also made of Budinga wood, just like the foyer. A Queen sized bed was the first thing he saw. It had green bed sheets with a silver blanket draped over the edge. A black nightstand to one side of he bed had a lamp and a few picture frames that were facing the bed. Above the bed was a round sky light. Harry smiled slightly at the thought of being able to see the stars when going to sleep.

"Thank you." Harry said as he walked into the room and towards the bed. As he walked deeper into the room he noticed the desk on the other side of the room, and a small bookshelf. He set his luggage on the bed and turned to look at Malfoy but stopped mid way. His attention was drown to the pictures on the nightstand. One of them was of Scorpius and his mother in a tight embrace and smiling. The other was Scorpius and Albus on the grounds at Hogwarts, laughing. He picked up the second picture and slowly sat on the bed.

Malfoy watched Harry from the door trying to figure out what Harry was thinking. "This is Scorpius' room, but you can use it. At least until Christmas." He said ripping Harry out of his thought. Harry looked at him with sadness and a twinge of fear in his eyes. Malfoy could finally tell what was going through his head, and realized that the comment about Christmas didn't help.

He opened his mouth to apologize, but closed it instantly coming to the conclusion that doing so would not help either besides Malfoy's no mater how reformed didn't apologize. After a moment of silence Draco said "I'll go get you a key." and left the way they came.

Harry watched him leave for a moment then put the picture back on the the nightstand.

A few minutes later Draco returned with a key in his hand. He stopped in his tracks as he saw a half naked Harry Potter with his back turned toward him. The only thing he had on was his pajama top and underwear. Draco's eyes landed on Harry's ass and he smirked. He slowly leaned on the door frame and watched as Harry pulled up his Pajama bottoms. When Harry was done Draco straitened himself up and knocked on the door.

Harry turned around a bit startled. "Your key." Malfoy said as he walked into the room, holding out the key.

Harry took it saying "Thanks."

Before anything else could be said a house elf appeared next to them. "Master Draco." He said, bowing slightly in Malfoy's direction.

"Yes, Valdey. What is it?" Malfoy said turning his attention to the elf.

"The hospital requests your presence."

"Did they specify as to why?"

"No my master, but they said it was urgent."

"I see." Malfoy sighed, and ran a hand through his hair in slight frustration. He had asked for the night off, and couldn't fathom what he was needed for. He had no patients in critical condition. Not one of his patients could possibly need him tonight. "It seems that I must leave now, Potter." He said and turned to leave.

"Oh!" He said stopping at the door. "Please try not to make a mess of my home."

Harry didn't say anything in reply, he was too stunned at the knowledge that Malfoy worked at a hospital. Instead he watched Malfoy walk away, grab his coat and go out the front door.

"Would Mr. Potter like something to eat?" Valdey asked gaining Harry's attention.

"I'm sorry?" Harry said looking at the house elf.

"Dinner sir. I assume you have not had any."

"No I haven't."

"Would you like anything, Mr. Potter?"

"No, thank you. I think I will just sleep."

"I understand. Have a wonderful night's sleep sir." Valdey said and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

Harry was amazed at how this particular house elf spoke. Most house elf's spoke respectfully, yes but not in the way Valdy did. He spoke with such eloquence, and held what seemed to be an extensive vocabulary, for an elf that is.

Harry laid in Scorpius' bed thinking of the elf for a moment, before returning to Malfoy. Harry still didn't understand how Malfoy could work at a hospital. Eventually, he shoved the thought to the back of his mind and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Harry arose to the smell of bacon. He couldn't remember the last time he was woken up by that smell. He slowly got out of bed. He was about to venture out of the room when he remembered that he wasn't in his house. He thought it best to get changed before finding the kitchen. He was about to get changed when he heard a pop behind him. He turned around and was greeted by an elf.

"Mornin' Mr. Potter. Jispy is here to tell Mr. Potter that breakfast is ready. Master Draco tells Jispy to tell Mr. Potter to come when ready. If shower is needed for Mr. Potter then it is here." She pointed in the direction of what Harry presumed to be the bathroom.

"Good morning Jispy,"Harry said with a polite nod towards the elf "and thank you for telling me."

"Jispy will leave now."

"Okay." Harry said and Jispy popped out of the room.

Harry showered, changed and left the room half an hour later. He made it to the foyer and noticed that there was significantly more light in the room this morning than there was last night. He looked up and saw a sky light the size of the room, and chuckled. He would expect nothing else from a Malfoy.

There was a pop and Valdey was standing before Harry.

"The dinning area is right through those doors, Mr. Potter. Master Draco is inside having breakfast."

"Thank you, Valdey was it?" Harry said and started waking towards the doors.

"Yes sir, that is correct." he said and popped out of the room.
