Something different

Chapter Six

Thanks to my beta-readers HPIceAngel and Linatheinverse.

Lucius was getting ready to go to the Muggle Park to see Harry once more, he was almost done when a house elf came rushing in. It was Dobby.

"Master, someone's at the fireplace," Dobby spoke in a composed manner.

"Thank you, Dobby, now could you please go get Draco some breakfast?"

Dobby turned and went out of the door. Lucius with the knowledge that someone was at the fireplace, went directly to the one in the library. When Lucius was there he knew it was the person who watched Draco every day. It was Mrs. Crabbe.

"Good Morning," Lucius called out to the image in the fireplace.

"Not that great of a morning Lucius, dear." Mrs. Crabbe replied.

"Why?" Lucius questioned.

"Both Greg and Vincent are sick and its Wizard Pox, Draco could get very sick if he has never had it before. "

"What are you trying to say"? Lucius frowned, not liking where this was going.

"That Draco can not come over today or even this whole week. I don't want him to get sick." Mrs. Crabbe answered. "I am sorry about this."

"That's alright, I understand. I hope they get better soon." He said politely.

With that, the image was gone and Lucius knew she had gone to take care of the sick boys. What was he to do? Draco usually went over to his friend's house and played. Now both of the boys were sick. 'I could just take him with me,' Lucius thought. That would be the best idea because he did not want Draco to be in the house with the house elves as his only company. That was it then, he would have to take Draco with him. It was plain and simple. With that decided Lucius headed to the dining room where Draco was having breakfast.

Lucius walked down the halls that led to the dining room. On the walls there were pictures of the three Malfoy's when Narcissa was still alive. Lucius had had to take down the pictures of just Narcissa because he would catch Draco staring at them for hours and then begin crying. Narcissa's death had come suddenly. Draco had loved his Mother so much and had missed her presence dearly. Lucius had also loved Narcissa; he would do anything for her. Narcissa had loved parks and every Sunday the whole Malfoy family would head out to the park near their home, which was the Surrey Park. Narcissa did not care if it was a Muggle park; she just loved seeing Draco's happy face. Lucius did too. Even though he was still a Death Eater he loved seeing Draco's happy face. It was a stupid idea to even become a Death Eater. Lucius paid for it dearly in life. Now Lucius was at the doorway that led into the dining room. He peeked his head through and noticed Draco was sitting at a chair at the end of he table, eating breakfast. Lucius walked over to him and sat down on the chair that was beside Draco.

Draco turned his head towards his Father and said "Morning Father."

"Morning Draco."

"Would Master Lucius be wanting anything for breakfast?" Dobby asked, appearing suddenly from out of nowhere.

"Yes I'll have a piece of toast." Lucius replied.

The elf left and went to go make the toast. Lucius would know Draco would be unhappy that he could not go to his friend's house but at least he would go to the park where Harry was, and maybe he and Draco would make friends.

"Draco, you are to come to me to the park today. After you are done having your breakfast go and get dressed in some Muggle clothes."

"Yes Father." Draco said with a nod. Draco's scrambled eggs and toast with strawberry jam were finished off in about five minutes. The elf brought out Lucius' piece of toast just as Draco was leaving. The elf walked over to the table and set down the piece of toast. It stood there waiting there to get more food for his Master or to be told to get on with his chores.

"That will be all Dobby." with that said Dobby turned and walked back to the kitchen. Lucius took a bite out of the toast and smiled today was going to be a good day.

Draco was all ready when Lucius came to his room. Draco was dressed in a pair of Levi jeans, a white shirt and his shoes were sneakers. Lucius was also dressed appropriately and had the picnic basket and the food inside of it. He also had the silver/green-patched blanket.

"Are we going on a picnic Father?"

"Yes Draco. Are you ready?" Lucius asked glancing at Draco.

"Yes, father." Draco replied.

Lucius and Draco then left the room and headed out of the house. Whenever Narcissa, Lucius, and Draco went to the park they would get a cab to drive them there. Lucius always had a supply of Muggle money handy if he needed it.

Lucius paid the cab driver and got out. He even gave a small tip. "Come, Draco." he said to his son.

Once they were outside Draco knew where they were, it was his Mother's favorite park. It brought back memories of his Mother, which only served to depress him. Lucius noticed this and bent down to look his son in the eye.

"I know it is hard to come back here, but there is someone I want you to meet." Lucius said pointing to Harry, who was sitting by his favorite spot. "You two could be the best of friends, he has had similar losses." Lucius explained to Draco.

"You mean he doesn't have a Mommy?" Draco asked.

"Yes, and he does not have a Daddy either." Lucius answered..

"He must feel so alone." thinking for a minute Draco added, "I want to be his bestest friend."

Lucius smiled, it was not often that his son was truly happy. He took Draco's hand into his and walked towards the tree Harry was sitting under. Lucius noticed Harry looked hurt, but that hurt melted into happiness when he saw Draco walking with Lucius.

"Harry, this is my son Draco. Draco, this is Harry." Lucius said introducing the two.

"Hi Harry." Draco said shyly.

"Hi Draco ." Harry replied. Harry looked at Draco. He had blonde hair that was slicked back and he wore jeans and a white shirt. He was a little bit taller then Harry. Harry stood up and shook Draco's hand.

"We can be best friends." Harry said to Draco beginning to grin happily.

Lucius smiled, he knew it was going to be a great day.
