"Harry. Harry, wake up!" Harry blinked groggily as Kane shook him awake. "We're there." Harry, who had been laying down on the backseat of the car, sat up a little and rubbed his eyes. He looked around curiously and yawned.
"We're were?" Kane grinned.
"Draco Malfoy's place." Harry sat up completely, eyes wide, almost hitting his head on the top of the car. "You gonna go up and say hello?" Harry yawned and tried to brush his hair out of his face. He nodded and moved to open the car door. "Want me to go too?"
"If you want. I'm not too worried that he'll be upset to see me." Kane nodded as Harry got out of the car and stretched. Kane followed suit and they walked together up the path to Draco's home.
This house was a lot smaller than his old Manor, Harry realized, but it was still beautiful nonetheless. It was a single story ranch style house, with flowers growing alongside the porch and around the house. The house itself was a beautiful white-ish silver color with black trim. The yard was perfectly cut and watered, nice and green and soft. The door was made of oak, painted black, with a white dragon painted on it. "Typical.." Harry muttered. He knocked on the door and waited.
After a few minutes, the door opened and a boy with shoulder length blond hair poked his head out. "Hello. May I help you?" He clearly didn't recognize Harry, who smiled softly and pushed his hair away from his face.
"Hullo Draco." Draco blinked in confusion.
"Who..HARRY!?!?" Harry nodded and suddenly found himself pulled into a tight hug. "How'd you get out? You didn't do anything illegal did you? You didn't attack anyone?" Draco peered at Kane curiously and he kept one arm around Harry's shoulders.
"No, I did none of that! Draco, this is Kane. He's the Minister of Magic from America. A guard from Azkaban contacted him and the other ministers for about me and he came to get me out." Draco grinned and shook Kane's hand.
"Well that's a relief. Why don't you two come in?" Draco held the door open and allowed Kane and Harry to walk past him. He kept an arm around Harry's shoulders the entire time. "Want anything to drink? " He eyed Harry warily.
"No, thank you. We don't have much time, Harry just wanted to come and visit for a bit until we have to leave." "Oh, well in that case at least let me get you some decent clothes to wear. And a hairbrush." Draco pushed Harry down onto one of the couches and Harry happily leaned against the cool fabric. "I'll be right back." Sure enough, Draco returned minutes later with a change of clothes and a hairbrush. "Go in the bathroom and change, second door to the right." Harry nodded and hurried off to change. "Thank you for helping him, he didn't deserve to be in that place. You said you two had to leave, though. Where are you going? "
"He's coming back to America with me until we can get this whole Azkaban thing done with." Draco frowned and pulled Harry onto his lap as he came back from the bathroom. "He'll be free to come back after everything is complete." Harry curled up in Draco's lap as Draco began to pull the hairbrush through his hair.
"If it makes you feel better, I want to stay with you Draco. But if I do, then that imbecile Fudge can try to get me thrown back into Azkaban." Draco nodded in sympathy and continued to untangle Harry's hair.
"Then I hope you have a good trip. You know your always welcome here so don't hesitate to come by whenever." Harry nodded and slid an arm behind Draco's back. He leaned his head on Draco's shoulder after the boy managed to comb it into some semblance of control. "How will you.?"
"Drink? I don't know. " Harry sighed.
"We should probably be going." Kane spoke up softly. Harry reluctantly pulled away from Draco and stood up. Kane and Draco followed suit and Draco led them back to the front door. He pulled Harry in for one last hug.
"Are you sure you don't want to drink?" Harry shook his head. "I've been drinking from rats, and if I start with human blood I wont be able to stop." Draco nodded and released him. Harry smiled gently and followed Kane back to his car. Kane started the engine and they drove off, leaving Draco standing in front of the house. Harry leaned further back in the seat as Kane turned on the air.
"He was nice. How did you two become close? And how does he know about your little.. problem" Harry closed his eyes as he smiled, basking in the glow of the slightly pleasant memory.
"He found me in one of the towers of Hogwarts. I think it was one of the north ones. I was.. getting ready to cut myself again. I accidentally cut too deep. He wrapped a piece of his cloak around my arm and helped me to the infirmary. He told me that he saw me leave the Great Hall and followed me. He said that he had refused his fathers offer to become a Death Eater, and that he wanted to catch me alone and apologize to me. He held my hand the whole night and told me that my life wasn't worthless. That he would be there to protect me, and to help me. After that, we would meet every so often to talk. We.became very close, closer than friends, and even though some people thought it was wrong that I was going out with another boy, and a Malfoy at that, but I wasn't ashamed or regretful. I'm still not." Kane nodded silently. "I'm glad you at least have someone. You know, he will be able to come over and visit us once and a while. Or you could go there." Harry perked up at that. "Just travel by Floo."
"I almost forgot about that!" Harry grinned.
"You're going to love it in America. I just know it!" Kane said. "Trust me on this. Okay, we need to drop this car off then travel by Floo to my office in America. We'll meet with the others as soon as we get there." Harry nodded uncertainly. "Don't worry, they wont bite or anything."
"They better not, or I might be tempted to bite back!" Kane laughed.
"And Harry, you know that if you want to talk about anything you can come to me. I wont tell anyone." Harry smiled softly and placed his hand on Kane's.
"Thank you, ill remember that." Kane smiled and they traveled the rest of the way in silence.
