Chapter five

"So let's go through this again, you two are dating?" Sirius said.

"Yes." Harry sighed exasperatedly; they were all sitting in the employer's room in the back of the restaurant where Harry was tending to his bruises, Draco sat next to him holding his hand rubbing comforting circles with his thumb.

"What do your parents think?"

"They had a man waiting for me Siri, when I got home, they wanted him to be my client, I got the impression he'd paid a lot of money to be my first."

"How could they do this, god, it's not right." Draco said outraged that someone had dared hurt his Harry.

"I'd like to see your fathers reaction when he discovers your dating Harry."

"Finally sunk in then Siri?"

"Just about."

"My personal life is none of my fathers concern; I don't intend to let Harry get hurt no matter what the price is."

"I can't go back there Siri, I can't live there any more...I was wondering...can I stay with you and Remy?"

Sirius considered this for a moment. "So you're telling me Lucius doesn't know about you two and you my little Harry have been kicked out of your own home and you want to live with me?"

"Yeah, is that ok?"

"Are you joking, you know how long Remy and I have wanted a son and your already that to us, of course you can live with us."

"Thank you." Harry said embracing his godfather. "I just need to go and collect my things, Draco can come with me and I'll see you at home."

"Sure, just be careful."

"Will do, come on Draco."

Taking the back way out of the restaurant they walked through the town, not daring to hols hands or act as if they were anything more than friends. It wasn't a long walk to Harry's 'home' but it seemed so much longer when walked in uncomfortable silence.

Draco was the first to speak as the tower block of flats loomed ahead.

"Don't ever think that I could hate you for who your family is Harry."

"I know I was stupid, but I thought you'd think I was one of them, I thought you'd see me as inferior."

"You are anything but inferior Harry, you're smart, beautiful and you're a good person. You just need someone to care and look after you."

They began to climb the stairs up to the floor that Harry lived on. It was as usual deserted and covered in litter and smelt strongly of bodily fluid.

Harry was used to this but Draco was not and wrinkled his nose at the smell, stepping around the empty beer cans and needles that littered the floor.

Harry stopped at his front door; inside he could hear raised voices and screams of fury. Biting his lip as he did so Harry put his key in the lock and opened the door.

The voices stopped as Harry and Draco entered the flat. glares were sent at him, they all looked at him disgusted. Will made to go over to his brother but his father stopped him just as Draco stood in front of Harry.

"What are you doing here?" James asked furiously.

"I came to collect my things, I'm moving out."

"Where are you going to go, nobody would ever accept you." Will said horribly.

"I would." Draco said in Harry's defence.

"And who are you?"

"Draco Malfoy." There was a deafening silence as Draco said his name. "Go get your things Har." He instructed.

Harry leant forward and whispered something in his ear. "Come with me."

"OK baby, come on."

They walked into Harry's old room where his things lay scattered. He managed to throw them all in his backpack in a matter of minutes. When they remerged Lily was in tears and no one was trying to comfort her, Harry didn't rush to do so either, he hated her for forcing him to do this.

"I don't ever want to see you here again." James warned a hint of vicious aggression obvious in his voice.

"I wouldn't want to come back." Harry said his voice as equally full of hate.

At his words Lilly burst into tears of sorrow, she stood up and went over to her second son who backed away from her.

"Don't go Harry; we'll give you a second chance with your client."

"You don't get it do you Lily, I'm not like you, I have Draco now, I'm going to make a respectable life for myself, something that you never managed to do."

"Isn't this a life, I've given you a roof over your head, I've loved you."

"It's not enough."

"Come on Harry, we should go." Draco said taking Harry's hand in his own.

"I won't hurt him; he'll be safe with me." Draco reassured the room but he didn't think any of them cared.

Without any goodbyes Harry and Draco turned to leave and they didn't look back once as they departed.
