Chapter 14: A Date With A Journalist
Harry ran his hand through his thick dark hair and looked himself over. He'd gone for a simple approach of jeans and a white shirt. He wasn't planning on going all out for one date! Besides, it meant nothing…
"Daddy, Truth stole my teddy bear!" Hope complained. Harry turned around and smiled at the small blonde.
"Well tell Truth to give it back."
Hope nodded and ran out of the room hollering, "TRUTH, DADDY SAYS GIVE IT BACK OR HE'LL KILL YOU!" Harry frowned at the yell but decided it was the best time to go, as everyone would be distracted.
He grabbed a coat before calling. "I'm going out, be back later." Than dissaperated out. Kevin had arranged for Harry and himself to meet at The Leakey Cauldron. Harry found the journalist sitting in a back table. Taking a deep breath Harry made his way him. "Hi…"
Draco needed to get out! Pansy was trying to make him pick flowers! Come on flowers! So being the great Slytherin he was he made up a great excuse. "I need to get milk." Yep he was a brilliant Slytherin. Once he'd escaped the evil clutches of Pansy he realised with a jolt he didn't have anywhere to go. An idea came to mind so, it being the only idea Draco came up with, he took it and headed off. When he appeared in front of the room of Harry Potter, silence greeted him and he thought there to be no one home, but as he turned to leave the sound of glass shattering reached him.
"TRUTH!" Draco winced at Isabella's screech and the door flew open, spilling out Sirius and Hope. Draco looked down at the two who had quickly shut the door. Hope looked up at Draco and smiled.
"Mr Draco!" Draco smiled down at the girl and smiled.
"Hello Hope, terrorizing Isabella I see." Hope smiled innocently.
"Never!"
"So Draco, now that you've turned up, mind taking Hope," Sirius was cut off as the door opened and Truth jumped out, "and Truth out somewhere?"
"Sure." Draco smiled as Truth and Hope jumped up grinning.
"Bye Uncle Sirius!" Hope called as Draco led the twins out. Sirius only waved as he bravely ventured back into the pent house room.
Draco took the twins to Diagon Ally, the dragged him into every toyshop they could find and finally Draco dragged them away with the promise of ice-cream.
"Where to next?" Draco asked, handing Hope her ice-cream and paying.
"Pet shop!" Truth called and Hope grinned and nodded.
"Ok." Draco followed the two down the ally to the Pet shop. Draco raised an eyebrow at the cute puppies and kitties that stared at him through the caged doors.
"Mr Draco!" Draco looked over at Truth and Hope who were cooing over a small golden Labrador. "Isn't he cute?" Truth smiled. Draco looked at the puppy and had to admit it was cute.
"mmm…yeah…" He looked down at the puppy again and looked back to the twins, why not?
Sirius watched Isabella with caution as he ate his precious coco pops. Isabella was furiously cleaning the kitchen. She was scrubbing an, all ready clean, spoon while muttering under her breath. A loud 'CRACK' announced the arrival of Draco and the twins.
"UNCLE SIRIUS!" The twins called happily; between the two they supported the golden puppy. "Look what Mr Draco got us!" Truth smiled happily stroking the dog's thick fur.
"A DOG!" Isabella screeched, her eyes popping at the sight of the dog.
"Uh yea…" Draco steeped back at the hysterical woman and Sirius clutched his coco pops and cooed at the dog. "Um…maybe I should go…" He headed for the door, scared of the crazy nanny. As he opened the door he heard voices drift from outside.
"…I had fun." There was no mistaking Harry's voice. Curiosity took hold of Draco and he peeked out through the crack of the door and could see Harry's back.
"I did too." Draco frowned at the unfamiliar voice.
"Well…thanks…" Draco could sense Harry's awkward-ness in his tone.
"Wait, Harry." Harry looked back and Draco caught a glimpse of perfect brown hair.
"Yes?"
"Would I be able…to see you again?" Draco couldn't stop himself from growling.
"Mr Draco, what's wrong?" Draco spun around and hit his head on the copper doorhandle and winced. Truth and Hope stood before him, giving him odd looks. "You sound like Joey." Hope stated.
"Who?"
"Joey." She pointed to the golden puppy at her feet who gave Draco a doggy grin.
"Joey…?" The puppy gave a sharp bark and the door flew open, knocking Draco off his knees and sent him sprawling across the floor in an undignified way.
"Draco?" A surprise Harry asked, looking down at the grumbling blonde.
"Who's he?" An angry Truth asked, glaring up at Kevin. Joey barked again and trotted over to Draco and licked his cheek.
"Get off!" Draco pushed the offending pup away and sat up.
"Uh…this is Kevin Fletcher…" Harry nodded to the journalist who smiled down at Truth.
"He looks like an ass!" Truth snapped.
"TRUTH!"
"What's going on?" Sirius had reappeared with his beloved coco pops. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kevin Fletcher." Kevin smiled, holding out his hand. Sirius looked down at the offered hand as if it were a spider.
"Sirius." Sirius ignored the hand and helped Draco up. Joey barked at their feet and ran around.
"It's wonderful to finally meet you Mr Black." Kevin smiled, dropping his hand.
"I'm Hope." Hope piped up, glaring up at Kevin.
"It's nice to meet you Hope."
"Well it's not nice to meet you."
"Hope…" Harry groaned.
"What the hell is going on?" Isabella had appeared looking as angry as ever.
"Daddy bought some ass home." Truth informed her, matter-of-factly.
"Truth! Don't swear!" Harry snapped. Draco stood amongst them, unsure as what to say or do.
"Why's Draco here?" Harry asked, looking to the blonde.
"He took the girls out." Sirius informed him. "And bought them Joey." He bent down and picked up the dog in his free arm.
"Joey?" Harry finally noticed the presence of the puppy.
"YEP!" Hope smiled. "See Mr Draco is better than the ass-guy."
"Don't swear!"
"Fine!"
"Maybe I should go." Kevin and Draco echoed together.
"Yeah, it would be best." Harry muttered offhandedly.
"I'll see you Friday than." Kevin smiled before dissaperating along with Draco.
"What did he mean by, 'I'll see you next Friday then' Harry? Where were you?" Isabella demanded.
"Um…well…you…see…" Harry trailed of. "Well I went out with Kevin…"
"WHAT?" Isabella and Sirius shouted together. Joey barked.
"Look can we talk later?" Harry asked, looking down at the curious twins. "And why were the twins out, at night?"
"Yea, why were they?" Isabella snapped, looking over at Sirius.
"Um…uh…well…it was only four! Hey we're supposed to be concentrating on you!"
"Daddy, what's going on?" Truth asked.
"Nothing girls, you two should be in bed." Isabella steeped forwards and took the girls hands. "Come on girls."
"Come Joey!" Hope called and the puppy jumped out of Sirius' arms and followed the girls.
"Don't start." Harry muttered, walking away from his godfather.
"Start on what?" Sirius asked, following Harry into the kitchen.
"I'm busy tomorrow." Harry completely ignored the question and poured himself a glass of firewhiskey. "Keep the girls busy for me." Sirius nodded and sat next to the Australian seeker.
"Isabella told me about the trial." Harry looked over at Sirius and drowned the glass. "Are you ok?" Harry looked up at him and smiled weakly.
"Hopefully I will be."
Sirius smiled. "Hope and Truth can go a long way." Harry smiled.
