Disclaimer- Harry and co are not from my imagination, they come from the
great mind that is J.K Rowling. If you see any characters and don't
recognise them from HP, they belong to me.

Chapter Three- Living
The three met at the front door to Hogwarts, and were taken to the station to catch the Hogwarts Express. While sitting in the warm compartment on the train, they heard the compartment door open, and they turned to see Hermione. Harry jumped up and threw his arms around her; all she could hear was some mumbling that she took to mean he was glad to see her. Then she spotted Draco. She muttered something in Harry's ear, and seemed fine when he replied. She greeted both Sirius and Draco with a smile.
Harry saw the look on Draco's face as they emerged in London. What Sirius had neglected to tell the boys was that his house was in the muggle part of London, and Harry could not see Draco living as and around muggles.
The house was huge, and, after a tour, each boy chose a room. With a few spells and wand waving, Harry had a red room, and Draco had a green room. Sirius looked at his room, and asked both boys what their favourite house colour was, and after a couple of quick spells, Sirius' room was gold and silver.
Meanwhile, downstairs, chaos was happening. Draco was slowly discovering the delights of the muggle world.
"Harry, what's this?" escaped Draco's lips every few seconds, then Harry barely had time to answer before he was asked the same question again. Draco seemed very interested in the computer.
"That," Harry sighed, "is a computer. You wanna see how it works?" When Draco nodded, he continued. "Well, the computer is something that muggles sometimes use for writing, playing music and games, searching for stuff, reading, and drawing." He switched the computer on, but had to ask Sirius for the password. He had used a computer before, Dudley had one, and whenever his relatives were out, he would manage to sneak in a quick go. He looked at the desktop and pointed things out to Draco, who nodded, never having seen anything like this before, obviously it fascinated him, and he was eager to learn. Harry got onto the Internet, and visited his e-mail account, which had been set up at the Dursley home, but had never been found out by his relatives, who would probably do something very drastic if they knew he'd even touched their precious son's possessions. He had owled Hermione when he had set it up and she had e-mailed him to tell him her e- mail address.
"You want an address? At least just for the summer?" Harry asked. Draco stared at him.
"But, I thought Sirius' house was my summer address?" Draco said, looking somewhat confused. Harry laughed at this.
"I mean an e-mail address! I mean, it's always nice to have one, at least one person will mail you."
"Um, ok." Draco was still confused, but went along with it. Harry signed out, and loaded the registration page.
"Now, just the actual address to do..what about this?" Draco nodded his approval, signed up, and then sent his very first e-mail to Hermione.

Hi Hermione, Harry has just helped me set up an e-mail account to use over the summer, and you are the only one he could think of that I could e-mail, so I hope you don't mind! Look, I didn't say it on the train, but I'm sorry for the way I've acted towards you all these years, and I hope you can forgive me and we can start again from scratch.
See you soon.
Draco.

Draco looked at Harry in amazement. "Wow! Look at me doing this!" He was like a five year old with a new toy, Harry noted while chuckling quietly to himself. He finally managed to persuade Draco to come off his e-mail, and showed him other things the computer could do. He loaded the programme that he could download music and other things onto, and explained it.
Draco was now being more involved with all things muggle, and he loved it. As he and Harry listened to some muggle music, neither boy noticed Sirius watching them. He smiled at the two, glad that Dumbledore's plan was working.
