Chapter Nine: Drake vs. Draco

Drake watched as the redheaded girl ran and hugged the blond man who had stepped into the house, she was lifted and kissed softly and he realized he might want to knock before he was caught watching them. After the first knock it took a few minutes but finally they answered and blinked at him unsure as to whom he was, "Uh…hello, I'm Drake-" he started off but the redhead's jaw dropped.

"Don't mind Ginny she's just startled you came here," Draco said before narrowing his eyes, "Where is Harry?"

"He's home resting hopefully," Drake said and got those eyes to narrow more, "I would like to come inside and speak with the two of you if at all possible."

"My Mum is supposed to be coming over so you might want to make it quick," Ginny said as she turned and walked into the house dragging her boyfriend along, "Get inside before your seen, if Mum knew where Harry was and with who she would go even more insane than normal."

Once inside the three stared at each other for a long moment before Drake handed them each a file of Harry's medical record from the accident, "He did something stupid and is being forced to pretty much rest and do no magic for a month," and he blinked in shock as Ginny suddenly sat on his lap and tilted his head to force his mouth open.

"Hmm, is there a spell to see what blood a vampire has taken in?" Ginny asked Draco whose shoulders had dropped at her randomness, "I want to make sure he's not eaten Harry and using this accident to make us think he's still alive."

Removing her hands Drake simply said, "That is one reason I would like to invite the two of you to come stay with Harry at my castle, also maybe you both can help keep him in line so he doesn't have another accident," getting Ginny to move over and the two to share a long look he waited before they focused on him after a long moment of staring.

"Harry is stubborn and you've not learned how to deal with his stubborn streaks luckily we both have and I want your word that no harm will come to either myself, Ginny, or Harry while we are staying with you," Draco said simply and got the man to swear nothing would happen to them, "Fine then we will come-" but he squeaked as a knocking hit the door then was up and grabbing the vampires arm, "Hide," before pushing him in a closest.

Ginny answered the door with a smile, "Mum," and she got hugged, "Come in tell us what you think of the place," and her mother entered their home, she was very nervous more so now that they were hiding a vampire.

Draco looked nervous as hell Molly noted and she simply ignored him in favor of looking around she saw the throw blanket she made Ginny three years prior was on their couch and felt her heart warm some, "This place is quite…quaint," she focused on Draco and asked, "How do you fell living here?"

"I actually love it, Madam. It's not too small to make me nervous and yet just the right size that Ginny doesn't feel like I'm trying to change her way of life, she loves it here and the fact she is close to you and the rest of her family makes her so very happy. Her happiness is another reason I love our home," Draco said before her eyes narrowed on him and he felt himself get even more nervous, last time he had faced this woman he had Harry at his side. So he randomly said in an attempt to lighten the mood and make himself feel better, "I never thought I would want to hide behind Harry from someone and yet you terrify me Madam."

"Good," Molly said before she saw that they had a nice sized kitchen, "Oh Ginny dear I'm a bit confused about the kitchen's size you hate cooking."

"Draco does the cooking," Ginny chuckled some, "Him and Harry discovered they both like to cook and when those two get to talking about food I almost feel as if I'm the friend watching a relationship."

"Ginny," Draco tinted pink suddenly, "Harry is more like a slightly younger brother to me than anything else, he just happens to know more tricks in the kitchen than I do."

Drake listened to some prattle before realizing Harry would be wondering where he was soon, closing his eyes he finally let out a knock and heard Draco let out a nervous laugh and Ginny began coughing as if trying to cover the noise. Molly however answered the door and blinked at him before her eyes went wide in shock since he was obviously a vampire.

"Madam, these two seem to fear us meeting but I really must be going," Drake said before sweeping from the room he turned and looked right at Draco liking the fact the young man seemed so nervous around the plump woman, "By the way I'll be picking you both up in two days, oh and talk with a Madam Andromeda about the babe Teddy as well. The more people the happier Harry will be I'm sure," then he swept out of the house.

Yet his retreat was interrupted by Molly grabbing the back of his jacket and pulling him back in the door and pushing him into a seat before motioning Draco into a seat as well obviously ready to question them, "Just great thanks a lot," Draco hissed at him before Molly cleared her throat making Draco blurt out, "Harry's living in Romania with him, he's Drake or well Dracula pretty much and I swear I tried talking him out of going but he's so bloody stubborn!"

"You tried talking him out of visiting?" Drake snapped suddenly getting a nod and glare his jaw dropped, "Why you little worm, are you why he looked unsure when coming to stay? How dare you ruin this for him!" he seemed truly angry.

"Ruin what for all I know your trying to trick him into something horrible," Draco snapped both were standing now and facing each other snapping and glaring while Molly and Ginny sat back in shock watching this happen.

"I would never I have made sure he has his potions, when he did something stupid I found the best wizarding Healer in the area to help him! You're the idiot who let him go to another country without any clothing or potions! He was exhausted when I got him home because he had been using magic!" Drake snapped back and got those silver eyes to darken some in anger.

Before Draco could say anything more though Drake paused and his face went blank as he looked down at his pocket he had left one of the sisters with a small stone which she as to hold in her hand if Harry needed him, "Harry," and he was looking at Draco now much calmer about the blond but panicked about his mortal, "I need to get home Harry's done something may I use your floo?" he could floo directly to his castle even though such a long trip would make even him disoriented some.

"Of course," Draco said and started the fire for him before handing him floo powder, "may we come as well?" getting a nod he watched him floo away saying 'Retreat' as the name to get there.
