Chapter 21

Molly and Arthur were alone in the library going over the story for the headmaster. When they felt they were ready, Arthur threw powder into the fireplace. "Albus Dumbledore" he shouted.

"Arthur" said Albus. "I have been so worried. Is everyone ok?"

"Yes Albus" said Arthur. "Amazingly, we are all fine. None of us were injured. We had help though. A new friend showed up and got us to safety. I don't know what we would have done without him."

"Who is this friend" asked Albus. "Where are you? I have been trying to locate you but I can't. Are you sure this friend is trustworthy? He might be a spy and this could be some plan of Voldemort's."

"I trust this man Albus. I trust him with all our lives. He isn't a spy. I can't tell you who he is or where we are. We took an oath to keep his secret. It's the least we could do after he saved us" said Arthur. "We haven't told him about you-know-what. He hasn't asked anything of us except to keep his secret."

"At least you aren't injured" said Albus. "We're having a meeting tonight. I really need you and your family there. I can tell you this now. The Dursley's were attacked the same night you were. I'm afraid they didn't make it. Harry ran away and we're still looking for him. Please ask the children if they have heard from him. If you do, please get him to HQ. I'm afraid the death eaters will find him first."

"That's terrible Albus" said Molly. "If he owls us we'll let you know. We will ask our friend to keep an eye out for him also."

"I'm glad you're safe. I need to get everything ready for the meeting so I'll see you there" said Albus.

"See you there" said Arthur. He ended the floo call. "We need to find Mikah and Alfred" said Arthur. "They need to hear this."

Back to Draco and his barbie dolls...

Harry and Remus had shown Draco what they were wearing to the meeting the next morning. Draco called his personal stylist and she told them to floo straight over. When they got there she had 4 other stylists waiting.

"Thank you for seeing us like this Kira" said Draco. "These are my friends Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Mr. Lupin, and Harry."

Kira looked them over. "I can see why you needed me immediately." She showed each one of them the styles that looked good on them.

"I don't see why we're doing this" Ron said stubbornly. "We look fine just as we are."

"Yes Ron, you look fine" said Draco sarcastically. "In a scruffy, poor sort of way. Now don't get all angry" he said as Ron's face turned red. "This isn't for you. This is for Harry. Harry is now a very rich and influential Lord. Everyone will be looking to him for leadership. The four of you and the rest of your family are a reflection on him. People will be looking at all of you. Do you want them to see you as you are now, a scruffy schoolboy, or as a confident, well groomed man? Like it or not, you must think of your image now."

Ron looked sheepish. "I didn't think of that" he said. "I guess if you put it that way, I'll do it."

"Harry's life has greatly changed" said Draco. " Your life will change too. I know you've never thought of these things. That's what I'm here for. I will have you looking your best when we're done today."

"Nice speech" said Harry.

Draco was true to his word. By the time the six of them and their guards returned to the manor, they looked a lot different. As they arrived at the manor, they ran into Alfred, Mikah, Molly and Arthur.

"Oh my" said Molly. "You all look great." She hugged everyone including Draco. Harry laughed at his surprise.

"I approve" said Alfred. "I should've said something sooner. You look much better without the glasses Harry."

Mikah shot him a thumbs up.

"You look great" said Arthur. "Um Harry, can I speak with you for a moment?"

He led Harry down the hall a little ways for some privacy. "I know you paid for all this and I want to thank you" said Arthur, "but you can't keep doing this. We can't afford these things and I won't accept your charity. Letting us stay here is one thing but I can't let you support us."

Harry looked at Arthur thoughtfully.

"Am I your son" Harry asked.

"Of course you are" said Arthur.

"Are you my dad" asked Harry.

"Yes Harry, I am" said Arthur.

"Don't families share and help each other when they are in need" asked Harry.

"Yes they do" said Arthur.

"If Bill or Charlie could help, would they" asked Harry.

"Of course they would" said Arthur. "They help every chance they get."

"If I'm your son, and you're my dad, and families share and help each other, and you accept help from two of your other sons, then why won't you let me help" asked Harry.

Arthur looked at him stunned. He opened his mouth a few times to say something but nothing came out.

Harry just looked at him and smiled. Neither one of them noticed that the others had heard their conversation. They were watching the exchange with amusement.

"Alfred would you please move 10 million gallons from the Black vault to the Weasley's vault for me" asked Harry.

Molly gasped. "No Harry, it's too much."

Harry's smile got bigger. "Make it 20 Alfred" he said.

"I won't accept it Harry" said Arthur.

"Make that 30" said Harry.

"No Harry" said Molly and Arthur together. "You can't" said Molly.

"Make it 40" Harry laughed.

Ron and Ginny realized what Harry was doing and rushed over and put their hands on their parents mouths. "Shush" said Ginny. "Every time you refuse he'll keep giving you more!"

"Do I hear 50" asked Remus. Everyone but the Weasley's cracked up.

"You two spoiled my fun" Harry said to Ron and Ginny. "I thought I'd at least get to 60 before anyone figured it out."

"Just say thank you Harry, we love you before he does anything rash" said Ginny to her parents.

"Thank you Harry, we love you" said Molly and Arthur. "But..."

"Don't make me say 50" said Harry.

"OK, we won't argue" said Arthur. "We love you, not your money. We don't care about that."

"I know" said Harry. "That's what makes it so much fun. I don't care about it either. You can have it all." Harry laughed and hugged Arthur and Molly. "I have everything I ever wanted, and it didn't cost a knut!"

"I also want trust funds set up for everyone else" said Harry. "A million should do it."

"No" yelled 3 voices.

"I think I like this game" said Draco.

"Do I hear 2 million" laughed Remus.

"Thank you Harry, we love you" said Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

"Damn" said Harry. "I wanted to get to 3 at least. You guys are too smart for me. You keep spoiling all my fun. Alright, all kidding aside, the money is yours. Do what you want with it. I never want to have this conversation again."

"Now, tomorrow I want all of you to go shopping" said Harry.

"But Harry, we don't need anything" said Molly.

" Draco, give them the speech" said Harry.

"Oh God, not the speech again" said Ron with a groan.

Draco proceeded to give Molly and Arthur the speech he had given Ron. By the end everyone was laughing.

"You lost all your belongings when your house was attacked so tomorrow you will go buy new clothes. Narcissa will know several shops that will fix you right up" said Harry. "Draco, please have her floo Molly and if she has time, ask her to accompany the ladies tomorrow. When I get back from the meeting we'll get together for a good meal and I guarantee some funny stories."

I need a good beta. If anyone is interrested, please let me know. Also, Draco is not gay. He has grown up a Malfoy. The image is all that matters. He knows Harry needs help and is willing to help him.
