'and you're sure about this?'
'yes Draco!' laughter, 'don't you trust us?'
'yeah, if you do this, think about all you receive!'
'But what if I get caught?'
'You won't. That is where we come in. We'll give you a proper alibi.'
'We'll destroy all proof.'
'but that's only if they even suspect you!'
Pause. 'And what do you get out of this?'
'…a part of your large inheritance…'
'I thought the inheritance was being left to you anyway?'
'But you'll change it, before anyone finds out what you did.'
'That'll look suspicious…'
'Hey Drake! We're helping remember?'
'All you have to do is kill Lucius, we'll do the rest.'
Nervous laughter 'You two make it sound so easy.'
'It is easy, Draco, it is…'
Jordan was the first to wake up in the morning. Blinking, he pushed himself off his Uncle Harry and into a sitting position. Gazing around he realized his parents were gone. Sunlight was pouring in through the windows and the car clock said it was quarter to one in the afternoon.
'this is daddy's friends home!' Jordan whispered excitedly, 'we're in London!'
Harry and Draco slowly woke up, groaning like mummies after being awoken from a deep slumber. Harry, whose glasses had abandoned his some time during his sleep, looked confused as he opened his eyes. Draco was still on his shoulder. They moved to look at each other. After moments of staring they both remembered.
'AH!' they both yelled, jumping apart.
'What the!' Harry cried.
'Nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened…' Draco repeated over and over.
'Damn straight nothing happened!' Harry said angrily.
Jordan smiled, amused.
Ding-dong
Hermione answered the door, still in the clothes that she wore the day before.
'come on in,' she said, leading them into the living room.
'Where's Adams friend who's letting us live here?' Harry asked.
'Russia' Hermione sipped on her coffee. 'Visiting his mother, imagine it,'
Jordan gazed out the window of the apartment 'Where's dad?'
'Still asleep,'
Harry yawned, 'at least someone has the right idea, mind if I sleep on the couch?'
Without waiting for an answer he fell onto the sofa and was asleep in seconds. Draco watched him. Something inside clicked. He turned his eyes to Hermione who was sitting in an armchair with her eyes closed. Was she sleeping too?
A small smile flickered onto his face.
'Jordan,' he said quietly, 'I want to show you something,'
Adam rolled over in his sleep. Sadly, because of the stress he had experienced recently, he had rolled around a lot and finally he found himself crashing to the floor.
'I meant that!' he said automatically before going red as he was alone. He stood and stumbled into the hall. He saw his wife and her old school mate sleeping soundly in the living room. Panic only came to him after he had searched the rest of the apartment and looked out the window to the empty parking space where his car used to be.
'JORDAN!'
