'How far away is your nest, Harry?' Draco asked from the inside Harry shirt. He was currently sitting comfortably around Harry's neck but tucked into the collar of his shirt enough that nobody could see him.
'It's not a nest Draco, its a house. Humans live in houses, not nests.' Harry whispered back to him, not wanting anyone to find out that he brought a snake back to England. They had made it though the flight without a hassle, and they were currently in the bus back to where Surrey was. Harry's uncle had told him to take the bus back to the house because his 'family' was going to eat. Of course Vernon did not invite Harry, he left him about 5 euros to catch a bus and eat some beans from the can.
'Is this 'house' similar to a nest?'
'Well I guess it sort of like a nest, but a lot bigger.'
Draco poked his head out a bit, his black tongue flicking out now and again. He looked at the very pale people sitting around. They were much lighter than the people back home. Draco curled back around the boys neck for more of his body heat. It was also much cooler here than at home.
'Harry I'm cold.' Draco's smooth scales snuggled deeper into Harry's collarbone.
'It is colder in England than your home since Australia is closer to the equator.' Thank you education system Harry smiled to himself. He was now receiving the strangest look from the person sitting next to him, probably from hissing to himself for the past 20 minutes.
"Surrey." The bus driver announced over the intercom and Harry got up, taking his belongings with him. Once off the bus he looks around to see if he could recognize and familiar settings.
'Harry, I want to stretch a bit.' the snake around Harry's neck was wriggling, poking his head put and flicking his tongue out restlessly.
Harry muttered something and then carefully picked up Draco and set him down on the concrete side walk. The sun against his scales were brilliant. It made Draco look almost translucent.
'So, which way are we going?' Draco hissed softly and turned his head from side to side. Harry looked at the row of houses in front of him and scratched his unruly head. It really didn't help that all of the houses in his neighborhood looked exactly the same.
"Why hello there Harry." Harry looked up startled and tentatively waved back to his neighbor Ms. Figg, who was watering the flowers in her front yard . "Back from Australia already? Maybe you would like to come in for some tea."
"No thank you Ms. Figg, I must get inside before the rest of my family gets back." Ms. Figg was an elderly woman, and Harry felt bad for having to turn her offer down, but in reality he couldn't bring Draco into some woman's house.
'Come on Draco, my house is this way." Harry clutched his bag and walked briskly to the house. He thanked his lucky stars that he didn't have to walk a long distance back to his house. Harry took the key out of his pocket and unlocked the front door.
'This is your nest?' Draco entered smoothly, poking his head at the furniture. 'It's kind of big.' Draco lifted himself to see the ceiling extending for what seemed like forever.
Harry shut the front door and took his stuff over to the single door with many locks on the outside. He opened it and put the bag on his 'bed'.
'This is much better.' Draco slithered in the small cupboard and swayed his tail happily.
'Huh?' Harry looked at Draco.
'This space is much better.' Draco slithered himself up on the mattress and settled himself in the very corner.
'You like...my room?' Harry asked the snake, who was currently curled into a ball near the bundle of cloth, that was used as a pillow.
Draco peeked out of his ball and looked Harry directly in the eye and answered. 'Yes.'
Harry blushed red and laid down next to Draco. 'Uncle says that anyone who has a small room should be ashamed of themselves.'
'Well I think that this space...' Draco wrapped himself around Harry's arm and lauded his head down gently against the boys chest. 'this space is quite nice.'
