Summary: Draco arrives on Harry's doorstep looking for sanctuary
A/N: Okay.chapters will probably be quite short but I will try to make them long and I will try to update regularly but this just sorta appeared in my head so I might get a bit stuck. All and any comments are welcome just let me know what you think, if I should continue, what you want to happen etc.
And now on with the story.
Chapter One - Surprises
Harry's POV
It was the best of times it was the worst of times.or at least that was how it seemed the day that Draco Malfoy arrived on my doorstep. My worst enemy here at 4 Privet Drive and yet he looked so standing with the sunlight glinting off his gorgeous white blond hair . OH MY GOD what am I thinking this is Draco Malfoy I'm thinking about . MALFOY the boy that despises you and makes your life a misery . but he is standing on your doorstep you've gotta wonder why and you aren't even inviting him in he's got to be here for a reason. "What wrong Potter? Cat got your tongue? Are you going to invite me in or not?" I heard Malfoy drawl sneeringly which snapped me out of my daze. I stepped aside to let him in just as Vernon Dursley walked into the hallway. He stopped and stared at Draco in shock "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house?" he asked rudely glaring at Draco. Draco blinked at the sight of Vernon and then said smoothly and rather quickly, so as not to give Vernon time to contemplate what was being said " Hello sir, my name is Draco Malfoy and I was hoping that you would be so kind as to let me stay with you for the summer? Of course I'm sure my father would be willing to compensate you for any inconvenience I might cause." "Erm.", there was a pause while Vernon looked at Draco, taking in his perfectly tailored clothes and expensive shoes etc. "I suppose it would be alright if you stayed with us, I'm assuming we know you from somewhere?" Draco hesitated while wondering how to answer the question "Actually I go to school with your son, but we are not that close, and I remembered all the nice things he had said about you and thought that you would let me stay with you after I had upset my father." While Draco had been talking Vernon had been nodding understandably and when he finished Vernon said, "Well, in that case its fine. Our guestroom is being decorated at the moment so you will have to share a room with someone. My son Dudley has the largest room and I'm sure he would be happy to share with you.or you could share with my nephew" he finished hesitantly. "Why don't I take a look at the rooms and then I can decide which room I would like to sleep in. I'm sure your nephew will be happy to show me the rooms." "Ok then I'll call you down for dinner later" Vernon said still looking rather dazed at the unexpected intrusion.
Draco's POV
I arrived outside 4 Privet Drive and looked up in surprise at the small uniform house and tiny garden. I was shocked, I had thought that Potter lived in pampered splendour, like me.but then again, maybe I had the wrong house.I knocked on the door and Potter opened it and he just stood there looking at me in shock. I had to repress the urge to laugh at the expression on his face. "What's wrong Potter? Cat got your tongue? Are you going to invite me in or not?" I heard myself saying and winced at my tone; after all, I was planning on staying with him. He stepped aside to let me and I was greeted by a great lump of a man yelling at me "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house?" My mind went blank for a moment and I slipped into polite mode and answered all his questions in a way that would please him, after all, I didn't want him thinking I was a wizard, I'd heard about their opinions. Finally I heard him saying that I would need to share a room.ME share a room oh well I'll just have to get used to it.I followed Potter upstairs to see the rooms and he took me into his cousin's room first, Dudley was it?, and I nearly passed out in shock. Sitting on the bed was the fattest, ugliest boy I have ever seen, the bed actually sagged under his immense weight and his room.god I was so sharing with Potter.the mess was unbelievable there was all sorts of junk lying all over the room, there was no way I would fit into the room. As I stared in shock Potter started talking to the boy "Dudley, this is Draco and he's going to be staying with us for a while.he goes to your school although I doubt you remember him because we all know what your memory is like" he said and then turned and walked out of the room leading me to another room which was indeed smaller and I assumed it was his. "So this is where I will be staying for the rest of the summer," I said looking round the room while I waited for Potter to talk to me.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and I hope you will be kind enough to review. And in case any of you are wondering why Vernon let a stranger into his house he was rather overwhelmed by Draco's polite demeanour and sudden appearance . and of course the implied offer of money which we all know the Dursleys love so much meant that he didn't think about what he was doing, he just allowed himself to be led by Draco, until later.
