The Hogwarts Express pulled into the platform, at Kings Cross Station and both boys disembarked the train, Harry following a step behind his blond friend. The first glance Harry got of the Malfoy parents took his breath away. Both stood imperiously, with a small bubble of space around them, their heads held high and eyes searching for their only child. Draco made a beeline for the elder Malfoy's, with Harry only a step behind him. "Father!" Draco exclaimed as he flung himself into his dad's arms.

"Son," Lucius said with a sparkle in his eyes before turning to look at the other boy with his son, "And you must be Mr Harry Potter. Come, you both must be hungry and tired, let's get you home. Harry, have you ever travelled by portkey before?"

"Uh, no, Sir, I don't even know who Portkey is. Sorry," Harry replied blushing, embarrassed by his lack of magical knowledge. Narcissa Malfoy gave a disgusted snort and turned away.

Lucius smiled softly and pulled out an old newspaper. He began to explain how portkey's are a form of magical transport used by Wizards and Witches to get from one place to another. Lucius instructed the three people with him to grab hold of the newspaper. Within a few seconds, each person felt a pull. All of a sudden they were pulled into a whirlwind, and soon arrived at their destination. Harry felt extremely nauseous and dizzy, instantly falling on his bum. Slowly he looked around himself, they were standing in front of enormous wrought-iron gates. Lucius seized Harry by the wrist and placed his palm to the centre of the gate. They swung open with a loud CREAK!

As soon as Lucius and Harry had stepped through the gates, Harry felt himself being jostled from behind. He was knocked down once more. When he looked up, it was to see the Malfoy matriarch step over his body and stalk of toward the immense, opulent mansion standing in front of him. "Mother! How dare you?!" screeched Draco while he rushed to help his friend back up.

Harry took a shaky breath and let Draco haul him up, he looked to his left and saw the garden Draco had spoken of. There were white and pink primroses, tulips, purple snakeshead, pink dianthus, lily of the valley and wood anemone scattered all around, with a fountain situated in the centre. He was overwhelmed with the sight and smell that emanated from the garden, he became rapidly enamoured. Lucius and Draco stood back, as they fondly observed their guest take the view in front of them.

Finally remembering where he was, Harry embarrassed, turned back to the other people with him and apologised. Both the Malfoy men waved his worries off and proceeded toward the house with Harry trailing behind them. The front doors to the Manor were imposing, made from polished redwood with engravings carved all over. The Malfoy patriarch opened turned the handle and revealed the walls within. Upon entering, they saw a large, white marble staircase ascending to the next level of the house lined with emerald green carpet. Seeing the curious look on his young guests' face, Lucius turned to his son and suggested, "Dragon, why don't you give Harry the royal tour."

Draco readily agreed and started to show Harry around his house. First, he showed him the upper levels of the house, starting with the top floor. On this floor there were only a few rooms, one was the Library, filled from head to toe in rows upon rows of books. Another chamber on the highest floor was named the 'training room', this was a large area with four duelling mannequins lined up against the farthest wall. Draco also pointed to a door and insisted that Harry not enter it unless instructed by Lucius as it was his office.

The second level was vastly different, circular in shape. It had a common-room in the middle and then had ten doors leading to several bedrooms. The bedroom across from the staircase had an ornate gold plate with the word 'Master' inscribed on it. Directly across from this door was another, this time with a silver plate engraved with 'Dragon.' Draco walked toward the second door but instead stopped at the one next to it. He opened the door, encouraged Harry inside and said, " This will be your room 'Ry, mine is next door, and the master bedroom is Dads'. I doubt you noticed it but the door marked with a bronze plate and the word 'Narc', that is mothers' room."

Finally, they descended the stairs once more, Draco took him to each room, first he showed the small family sitting room, and then the conservatory. Next, Draco showed off the opulent drawing-room, the most magnificent chamber in the house. He explained that every year the Malfoy family hosted a Christmas Ball. The last place Harry was shown was a set of stairs, leading under the house that the Malfoy heir told him led to the kitchen and dungeons. Because of Draco's tone, Harry became instantly wary of such a place and vowed not to go down there by himself.

Eventually, the tour was over, and both boys felt exhausted, they made their way back up to the second floor. They bid each other goodbye and entered their respective bedrooms. Harry wandered gently over to the bed and looked around his room, he took in every detail with his sharp forest green eyes. He noticed the walls were painted an emerald green colour, and that the bedsheets matched, as did the curtains. The windowsills and bedframe were painted in a dark grey, giving off a very Slytherin vibe. The walls were lined with iron wall sconces, and the fireplace was situated opposite the bed. He had never stayed in such an elaborate place, nor did he think he would ever feel so at home. He was so glad he accepted Draco's invitation and couldn't wait to see what else was to come.

AN: A bit of a longer chapter. I apologise if I have got any details wrong, I did look up details on Malfoy Manor but they were few and far between. Hopefully, it turned out alright. Please let me know your opinions by commenting. I would love some feedback on what I have done wrong or right.
