I Have a Gift For You

Harry stumbled through the hallway to the bedroom at the end. Draco had pointed it out earlier that day and Harry had been sure to make a note of it in his mind.

"That's my father's room," Draco had explained, not making an effort to point out any of the other rooms, except the guest room that had been set up for Harry.

He had led the way down the hall and Harry's eyes drifted back to the door, trying to get a look at it as they walked away again.

That had been hours ago, before the party, and before the alcohol began to flow.

He tapped on the door loudly, leaning against it for support. His eyes were so heavy, he decided to close them for a moment... until he fell on the floor.

"Pray tell, Mr Potter," Lucius drawled, "why you were sleeping against my door? Did Draco not offer you a bedroom?"

Harry stared up at Lucius in all his purple wonder. He wondered what the man looked like without the pyjamas. He awkwardly pulled himself off the floor, clinging to the wall for support.

Lucius raised an eyebrow as Harry stared at his pyjamas. He didn't need to be a Legilimens to know what was going through the younger man's mind, but before he could turn him away, Harry had somehow managed to get past him and was making himself comfortable on his bed.

"I have a gift for you," Harry slurred, trying to sound seductive. Lucius stayed where he was.

"And what is that?" Lucius asked.

"Come over here and I'll show you?" Harry replied hopefully, as he began to quickly strip off his clothes and toss them onto the floor.

Lucius gave a slight nod. "I will return momentarily," he said, turning and leaving the room, shutting the door behind him. He headed upstairs and opened a door, looking at the empty bed in relief. This had been his room when Narcissa had kicked him out of her bed, and he was happy that the house-elves had kept the room maintained.

As he settled under the covers, he made a mental note to invite Harry over, without serving alcohol.
