Chapter Twelve – Dinner and Thinking
Harry stood in front of a large black gate, the metal entwining around vertical bars, creating a magnificent master piece, the gate was nothing compared to the massive structure behind it. About fifty meters behind was a four story building, with a large tower sprouting from the centre. The building was made from grey stone, the windows framed with black marble, with the windows shining in the setting sun, the grass was vibrant and flowing green, the foot path leading to the front door, which by the way was made of deep oak with a small stained glass window, was a snake of stepping stones, made of matching stone as the house, around the stones were black stones about the size of a golf ball flattened out and smooth and shiny. The fence around the grounds was stone and bout three meters tall, matching the height of the gate.
He was shocked, especially when Draco told him of what it had been the year before. The house had been derelict since no one had lived in there since Crabbe's great, great grandfather had died; he had then inherited it when his father died in the war, at the beginning of his sixth year. The place had parts of the walls cracked, the roof was leaking and had turned to a brown instead of the black it had been and was once again. Draco slipped his hand into Harry's and walked up to the gate, he pushed his hand on the gate and pushed, there then came a cry, "Freeze Mother Bitch!" Harry jumped, not expecting this to happen; Draco just laughed and pushed the gates all the way open and stepped through, he pulled Harry along behind, reassuring him it would be alright. "Don't worry Harry, it's just his sort of alarm."
After the trek down the path to the door, Draco reached up and rapped the little gold snake that was twisted into a circle just under the window, the knock echoed through out the house, echoing through the hallways, Harry didn't think that such a small and delicate thing could make such a noise, Draco noticed Harry's look of puzzlement and guessed what he was thinking, "It is enchanted love, so that he will be able to hear it where ever he is in the house."
Harry shrugged, understanding the meaning of the spell on the knocker, and stood next to Draco, he was slightly nervous; not really knowing what would happen when Crabbe walked out of the house, seeing his best mate, the Ice Prince of Slytherin, hand in hand with the Gryffindor Golden Boy. After a few tense moments, the door opened to reveal Vincent Crabbe, but this was not the Crabbe he was expecting, he was expecting the gorilla like bully, to an intelligent looking young man

The dinner had gone well; Harry and Draco had been shown around the house by Vincent, they had then made there way into the dinning room and had dinner. During the dinner of Roast chicken and vegetables (vegetables for Harry who had become a vegetarian) Draco explained to Vincent what had happened over the past 24 hours (AN/ 24 hours in eleven chapters... oops), Vince had accepted them and the dinner had run smoothly, they talked, about normal stuff, what they had been up to, quidditch, what they had planned for future… normal stuff. By the end of it, Harry realized that Draco had been right; Vince was not the person the wizarding world thought he was.
That night after the dinner had died down and they had some tea/coffee and cake, Draco and Harry left for Grimmauld Place, but as Harry got ready to teleport, Draco said to him, "How about we stop off at Malfoy Manor first, since I'm guessing that I'm staying the night again, and I don't have that much clothing at Grimmauld any more since I have grown over the past months" Harry just noticed that Draco was at least three inches taller then he had been at the beginning of the holidays, he now stood about six foot three inches, while Harry was about six foot.
Harry nodded and said "'Kay, you're going to have to concentrate on where we are going, the wards stop me from going onto the property still." With that Harry teleported himself and Draco to Malfoy Manor, with Draco 'directing' the way.

After getting some clothing that he had bought a few days before, Draco made his way back out to the Entrance of his wing of the mansion. Harry was waiting in the large room, sitting on one of the black leather couches that were in front of the large window viewing the lake in the yard bellow "Ready to get going?"
Harry looked up, he had not noticed that Draco had come back, but when he saw his mate standing in the large ornamentive doorway he realized how empty he had felt with out Draco with him, it was then an idea struck him, "Dray what happens when we go back to school? I mean, we can hardly leave each other for a few minutes with out feeling lonely and all, so how are we going to cope with lessons and being split over the castle." Draco thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, Harry had a point, it was difficult just to be separated over a short amount of space and time. Draco walked over to Harry and pulled him onto his feet, put his arms around him and said, "We'll look into it more later, for now let's get back to your place, I'm tired and we are definitely going shopping tomorrow, so we will need the energy."
Harry nodded and again they disappeared with a flutter and were soon standing out in front of the grimy house of number twelve Grimmauld Place. They walked inside to find the group from earlier that day in the drawing room discussing order business as they called it, they were too tired, although it was only about nine or nine thirty, and decided to go to bed. As they left the Drawing room though, Tonks called them back and gave Harry a piece of paper, she then said good night and went back to talking with her friends and fellow work mates. Harry and Draco left the room again and as they made their way up the stairs he opened the note, it just said that the reuniting of Percy and the other Weasleys had gone well and for Harry to give them a call the next day.
As the two snuggled down under the blankets of Harry's bed, they began thinking of solutions of what Harry had said before. Harry had a sudden thought, "What if we get used to being apart, like not straight away getting a long way apart from each other, but like, spending a couple minutes away from each other a day, and gradually build it up, we would become used to being apart."
Draco sat and thought for a while, it was a good idea, but they didn't have many days for them to work on it over, "What if we talk to Dumbledore about having us in the same classes? That would be easier. But also what are we going to do around the school and the students, it's going to be a big shock for them all if we turn up and they find out we are Anamcharas, I mean, last they knew, we hated each other. Do you think we should just say that we are dating and nothing about us being Anamcharas?" This gave them more to think about, which was not good since they wanted to go to sleep and they were now unable to since their minds were racing to think of a solution.
