Lily's Son

Chapter 12

"It's not bad" said Neville.

"But no where near as good as I thought it would look" sighed Hermione disappointed.

"But its just an empty room, we can buy things and actually make it ours!" grinned Harry.

"I can get father to send loads of things over here in minutes!" said Draco smugly.

"Go on then" grinned Harry teasingly.

"Dobby!" yelled Draco.

"Yes Master Draco?" asked Dobby standing waiting on Draco, he had a very nice uniform on with the Malfoy crest. Usually if someone called on him he would have a pillowcase on and act fearful. Dobby was really faithful to the Malfoy's and understood when they told him to act fearful.

"Dobby ask father if I can have some of the furniture that's in the spare room please, assure him that its just going to be me and my friends that are going to be using it" said Draco softly.

"Of course right away, Master Draco" replied Dobby popping out.

"What…Was…That!" asked Hermione wide eyed.

"My House elf," explained Draco "Wizards and Witches have them, they are either good at cleaning, babysitting for you or doing shopping for you they love it"

"Is that all they do? don't they get to have a life?" asked Hermione appalled.

"Of course Dobby has a mate, they can have baby elf's they don't get paid but they have shelter and as much food as they want" said Draco.

"Oh" said Hermione.

"They are pretty cool" grinned Harry, although he had never seen anything like it in his entire life.

"I love magic" grinned Hermione and Harry together.

Neville and Draco rolled their eyes they didn't understand Harry and Hermione's enthusiasm for magic. Having known it for all their lives.

'pop'

"Your father say's you can have any of it," said Dobby "But you are to be careful."

"Ok Dobby, bring three big rugs three of the ones that used to be in my room," said Draco. "Five couches some dressing tables, drawers and bring my posters!"

"Yes sir" said Dobby popping out once again.

Things started popping up out of nowhere, elf magic was much more powerful than anyone realised. Dobby didn't come back, he left it to the teens to put the furniture wherever they wanted to put it.

"This is gorgeous" gasped Hermione, the dressing table was very elegant with drawers at both side, six drawers in total.

"It's made with real oak beautiful isn't it" grinned Draco, it had been his mothers now it was just sitting in the spare room they used to fill things they don't want to throw out.

"Yes" said Hermione still looking at it in awe she had never seen anything like it in her life.

"Black, silver and green" said Harry leaning over the rugs that Dobby had brought to them, opening them out he had to admit they were cool, the Malfoy's had good taste, then again the most expensive stuff was gorgeous and of course the best.

"They should cover the floor altogether," said Draco "If I remember right I could only get one of these rugs in my room."

Grinning together the four of them unrolled the rugs and put them where they wanted them. Much to their surprise the rugs were enough more than enough. The couches were moved over to the fire place, posters were put up and the dressing table stayed where it was next to the wall.

'pop'

"Master Draco your mother sends you these" said Dobby.

"YES!" grinned Draco.

"What is it?" asked Hermione curiously.

"Food, she sends me food supplies," said Draco "Cookies and other home made foods as well as my favourite sweets."

"I'm not allowed to eat chocolate at home," grimaced Hermione "My parents are dentists and don't allow it."

"What is a dentist?" asked Draco confused, Neville looked just as confused.

"People that look after your teeth" said Hermione.

"I guess its not as simple as taking a potion in the Muggle world then…" asked Draco.

"No its not," sighed Harry. "I've never had to go to the dentist though."

"That's funny I haven't either," said Hermione "My parents think its because they don't let me eat chocolate and sweets."

"It's probably your magic," said Draco. "Nothing like that ever bothers us."

"What about a potions lab?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know," said Harry looking around the room. "Maybe we should just set one up ourselves."

"Well Severus is bound to have a few extra cauldrons and stands" said Draco. They couldn't use theirs because if they did then they would need to empty them for potions classes.

"Well there's no time like the present!" grinned Draco. After a few seconds of his friends looking thoughtful.

"I think I'll stay" said Neville he didn't want caught stealing from Severus Snape thank you very much.

"I'm asking him Neville" said Draco rolling his eyes, even he wasn't stupid enough to try and steel from his godfather.

"Ok, ok I'm coming" said Neville, he didn't like to admit it but Snape could be scary and was just very glad it hadn't been directed at him yet.

"Draco…can I help you?" asked Severus watching his godson intently, he knew what they were wanting before Draco opened his mouth. Severus couldn't help but think that unused classroom was rather nice now. He wasn't doing legilmency on his godson just reading his thoughts he happened to be thinking about the classroom.

"Can we get four old cauldrons you don't used anymore Sev?" asked Draco.

"Why?" asked Severus his face a stony mask.

"We want them for backup just in case anything happens to our new ones" shrugged Draco lying through his teeth but he knew his godfather wouldn't let him brew potions on his own.

"Hm…" said Severus, they thought he wasn't going to let them when four cauldrons came floating towards them. "Do not destroy anything" was the only warning he gave as they left with the cauldrons.

"How did he know?!" asked Hermione once they were out of Professor Snape's office.

"I don't know" said Neville looking even more freaked out.

"Uncle Sev isn't stupid!" grinned Draco "I'm just glad he let us at all."

"Yeah me too," sighed Harry "He didn't even look at me! I expected no to be shouted at me."

"I told you, he has to act like he hates you" said Draco shaking his head.

"I don't think he needs to act" said Harry feeling depressed.

"You never know Harry," said Hermione softly trying to cheer her friend up.

"Your mum was his best friend! Why would he hate you?" Draco couldn't help but point out.

"Since when did everything in this life make sense?" asked Harry thinking of his family and how they acted and changed.

"Cheer up!" said Neville "Let's get them in that room! And get to bed before we miss curfew."

That's exactly what they did, sorted out a potions area, used spells to protect the rest of the things and one that would stop steam from filling up the room. They would learn shield spells soon so they could make potions without fearing they are going to destroy the room with one wrong mistake.

After that they sat down and had some of Draco's cookies, which was positively melting in their mouths. The others all understood why Draco really liked them, one wasn't enough for them they had to have another.

"Come on then let's get out of here" said Draco sounding disappointed but cheered up tomorrow was a new day.


What did you think of that? will Hermione use muggle technology in Hogwarts? an eye scanning password and a personal password and pin? to ensure their rooms are never broken into? will Fred and George join them? will Severus and Lucius train them? will Neville hermione Harry and Draco go to Malfoy manor? (Dumbledore under the impression he had gone home or his aunt giving him permission? R&R PLEASE! take care
