Secrets
Chapter one
Harry's background and first meeting.
Harry hated his life with a passion. He loathed his mother, his father and his older brother. He despised what they were and what they thought and expected him to end up to be.
They all lived in a pokey flat on a trashed estate. His father James was a low life who did nothing but deal a few drugs when they were short of money. His mother Lily sold her self and called it a steady source of income. His brother William or Will as he liked to be called was a rent boy and that was what they all expected Harry to become.
Harry however had other plans for his life. He had left school with nine passes at GCSE level, which was more than the rest of his family put together. He planed to go to collage a place no Potter had gone before.
Over the summer he had got a job at his godfathers restaurant much to his parents disappointment. Being a rent boy paid more than a waiter did.
Harry had just entered in the backdoor when Sirius greeted him.
"Hey Harry, how are you?"
"You know, the usual.""How's James?"
"Don't know, he was past out on the sofa when I left."
"And Lily?"
"Getting ready for work."
Harry said this with little emotion and Sirius picked up on it, however he didn't push it, he knew Harry hated living with them.
"Ok, now you know my best waiter right."
"What do you want?""I have a special client coming into night and since you're the best we have I want you to serve them."
"Alright Siri, when are they coming?"
"Five minutes, so go get ready."
"Sure thing Siri."
Ten minutes later and Harry was showing the Malfoy family to their table. This included Mr and Mrs Malfoy and their son Draco.
He handed them the menus and smiled sweetly at them all before asking them what they wanted to drink.
"The most expensive bottle of wine you have and Draco..."
"I'll have a coke please." He said not taking his eyes off of Harry.
"Thank you, I will be back momentarily with your drinks to take your order."
Harry smiled one final time and went to fetch the drinks. The youngest Malfoy who didn't give off arrogance like his father had transfixed him; he like his mother seemed bored to be there.
One of the waitresses who Harry had been friends with came over to talk to him as another waiter prepared a tray for Harry. Hermione had seen the Malfoy's come in and was also eyeing the Malfoy's son, Draco.
"He is so cute." She said matter-of-factly.
"Don't I know it."
"I wish I was serving them."
"No you don't Mione, Mr Malfoy keeps giving me looks like he knows he's superior, arrogant prat."
Hermione laughed as Ron, Harry's other friend, came back with the bottle of wine, he had had to go down to the wine cellar to fetch it.
"What do you think Ron?" Harry asked subtly motioning over to the Malfoy's table.
"Arrogant?"
"No, the son?"
"Why, have a little crush on him do we?"
"Shut it, I'd better get going see you guys later."
Harry took the tray and carried it carefully over. He placed the wineglasses down and then the coke before he offered Mr Malfoy to try it first. He accepted and Harry poured a small amount of it into his glass. He seemed to like it so Harry filled the glass and left the bottle on the table before noting down the food orders and leaving.
By the end of the evening Harry was sure that he had seen Draco staring at him as he eat his meal. Sirius keen to gain the Malfoy's as regular clients he went over himself with Harry and the bill.
"How did you find your meal Mr Malfoy?" He asked as Harry placed the bill down but Sirius wouldn't let him leave.
"It was satisfactory." Came the aristocratic reply.
"I am glad to hear that, and how would you rate my staff?"
"This young man was extremely polite and I saw no mistakes in his work."
"Thank you Sir." Harry said, this reply had surprised him completely; he had never expected the Malfoy's to be polite.
"In fact I am looking for full time staff to work in the family manor if you are interested. This would mean giving up all commitments you may have but the pay is good and we would of course offer you rooms in the servant quarters."
"Wow, don't get me wrong I ma grateful for the offer, really I am, however I plan to go to collage in September, but I am honoured to receive you offer."
"Very well, here is my card if you change your mind."
"What collage are you going to?" Draco asked speaking for the first time in front of Harry and receiving a very dirty look from his father.
"Hogsmead."
"Same."
"Alright Harry, why don't you go and finalise the payment, I am sure that Mr Malfoy doesn't want to be kept waiting."
Harry nodded and went away, only to come back a few minutes later with the receipt.
All to soon they were leaving and it wasn't until all the customers had left and Harry was cleaning up with his fellow work colleges that he found a jacket, it was of the higest quaility and Harry had no doubt that it belonged to Draco.
Inside it, folded up neatly was a scrap of paper which Harry read through curisoty.
I know you do not know me but meet me tomorrow outside this restaurant at about 11.
Draco xxHarry smiled, he couldn't believe it. And what more he was actually considering it. He knew that they were two completely different people, in fact their was nothing similar about them but he wanted to know more about him.
When Sirius dropped Harry off at home his mother and brother were out, properly at work. It was a little past midnight and his father was snoring loudly on the sofa.
Harry tip-toed quietly into the room he shared with his brother and changed into his pjamers and climbed into bed, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
The following morning he awoke at about half nine, Will was still asleep, he asumed his parents would be as well.
He went out into the living room, it was a complete mess, pizza boxes and beer cans littered every surface and the floor. He set about tidying up a bit. There was no way he could bring Draco back here.
He washed the dishes and took out the trash. It was after ten when Will came out of the bed room in his boxers rubbing sleep from his eyes to find the flat tidy and Harry dressed in jeans and a balck t-shirt.
"Morning." Harry said, he was in a bit of a hurry as he had only half an hour before he was to meet Draco.
"Where you going?" Will grunted.
"Out." Harry replied siply as his mother came out of her room.
"Hey mum, Harry's going out."
"Where you going my little baby Harry?"
"I'm not your little baby and it's none of your concern."
"Oh Harry baby, don't be like that."
"Like what, I'm not being like anything."
"Yes you are, oooo, are you going to meet a client?"
"Unlike you mother, I am not a complete slut."
"Hey, that was way put of line." Will snapped.
"Well it's true, and you, your just as bad so don't get me started."
As Harry went to leave Will grabbed him and prevented him from going anyway.
"Take that back." He hissed.
"No." Harry replied, Will lost his temper and pushed Harry to the ground. Harry had always feared his brother, they had never got on brilliantly but that may have been because Will's father wasn't James.
Will picked Harry up and held him close, Lily could do nothing but watch.
"If I ever and I mean EVER hear you speaking to mum like that again..."
"You'll what?"
Will had had enough he back handed his younger brother before storming off into their bed room. Lily went over to Harry as he picked himself up.
"Why do you get him worked up like that?"
"Me, you're the one who implied that I was like you, which, by the way I never will be."
Harry didn't wait around for his mothers reply; he grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the house.
He really didn't feel up to meeting Draco, he wanted to but with his bruising cheek he wasn't sure. What would Draco think of him if he turned up on what potentially could be there first date with a yellowing bruise.
My brilliant new idea, what do you think? OK I know what you guys are saying, 'why isn't she posting new chapters to her other stories rather than new stories' well the answer is simple.
I wrote this chapter over the summer. My other stories WILL be updated soon in fact I am dedicating this weekend to updating.
Hope you liked this because I do, please please please please please review.
