Notes: Look in the first chapter for a summery of the story, a disclaimer for all chapters, the warnings and whatever else I wrote.

On to the 2nd Chapter! My author notes will be at the end.

Chapter 2

Arrival and a Letter

It had taken Harry ages to finally touchdown in Australia, and as the teen was walking down the corridor that joined the plane to the main building of the Sydney Airport he was thankful that he was finally out of that "giant mechanical bird type thing".

As soon as the plane had gotten into the sky Harry had, unfortunately, been hit with a rather forceful amount of air-sickness and had spent the first hour of the plane trip running backwards and forward to the toilet cubicles, emptying his stomach. After that first hour Harry had been alright until it was time for the attendants to serve dinner. As soon as Harry had taken a bite of the food he had rushed back to the toilet, vomiting violently. Thankfully this had been the last time he had been sick and he had even managed to eat a few mouthfuls of his pre-packaged lasagna.

Thinking of food made Harry's stomach rumble. It was early in the morning, or it would have been in London, and Harry had the feeling that it would take him awhile to get used to the foreign time.

As the young teen made his way down the corridor his thoughts drifted to Jack, his chocolate-brown Labrador cross. I hope she's alright. I hope it's not possible for animals to get air-

"HARRY!"

The teen was nearly knocked over as his godfather hurtled towards him, wrapping his arms around the younger boy.

"God Harry, the last time I saw you, you were what 5? You have changed so much! You look exactly like James, though you have Lilly's eyes!" Sirius said, examining his godson. "I'm so glad you finally made it down here to see me! You're going to have such a good time!"

Harry smiled up at the slightly taller man. "I'm glad I'm here too." He replied, "Can we go and collect my luggage now please? I really want to see how Jack took the trip." Sirius nodded and then he gasped. "Oh dear, how could I forget?"

Taking Harry's hand Sirius pulled him out of the crowd and turned a corner. "Harry, this is Draco Malfoy, he's staying with us. Draco, this is my godson, Harry Potter."

Harry's eyes widened slightly in surprise at seeing the other teen, no one had said anything about a Draco. Draco Malfoy was, if anything was, perfect. His skin was pale, matching the teen's hair which was white blonde and was messily styled so that it fell just over his eyes. His eyes though were a light gray, giving the teen a very mystic appearance.

"Uh… Hi." Harry stuttered. Harry held out his hand, which after a few seconds the blonde shook. "Hi" The raven-haired teen had to control another gasp as a tingly feeling shot up his arm. What the fuck was that? He mentally cursed.

A sudden bark made Harry come back to reality. Turning his head he spotted Sirius being pulled along by Jack, who was barking happily at seeing Harry. Harry smiled and rushed over to the distressed dog, kneeling down to allow the dog to lick his face as he gave her a hug. "How did you enjoy the trip girl? I hate flying, damn that air-sickness. You know what? You were actually lucking with your seating arrangements. The whole way there I got stuck sitting next to this-"

Harry was brought back from his rambling's by Sirius.

"Oh, Dray, isn't that adorable? He talks to his dog the same way that you talk to your cat." The older man smiled happily before turning to Draco, whose face was settled into a frown.

"At least I don't partake in conversations with the people who live in my head, Padfoot." He said, rolling his eyes affectively, "And it's Dray-co, remember? Never forget the 'co'"

Harry stifled a laugh at his godfather's frown. The old man checked his watch. "Gods, it's about time we started on our way home. Come on Co, Harry, and Jack." He looked down at Jack as he said the last word. The dog barked happily as Harry took her leash.

After a whole day of sleeping Harry awoke, blinking sleep out of his eyes. He frowned, Where am I? Was his first thought before he realized where he was. His eyes flickered to the bedside clock. Crap, it's only 5:30 in the morning!

Harry frowned, throwing the blankets over his head. After 10 minutes Harry growled, unable to get back to sleep, even though he still felt exhausted.

Climbing out of bed Harry stumbled out into the kitchen where he quickly made himself a cup of hot chocolate. Harry sighed happily as he took a sip, Mmmmmmmmm.

Suddenly Harry became aware of someone descending the stairs and he turned around to come face to face with Draco. "Hello" Harry said before taking another sip from the cup. Draco ignored him, heading straight for the coffee. Jeez, very talkative in the mornings isn't he? Harry thought, frowning.

Meanwhile, Draco had poured himself a cup of coffee and was drinking it hungrily. Harry rolled his eyes. "You do know that stuff isn't good for you, don't you?" He stated. The blonde looked up from him, as if suddenly realizing that he wasn't the only one in the room.

"Shhh, don't you have eyes Potter? Isn't it quite obvious that I'm currently occupied?"

Harry frowned. After rinsing his cup under the tap Harry put it in the dishwasher. He then walked back into his room, collecting a sketchbook and pencil before coming back out into the kitchen. Sitting on the couch in the joined living room he started to draw, getting an evil look from the blonde, who had just finished his coffee. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Harry rolled his eyes, looking up at Draco. "Shhh, don't you have eyes Malfoy?" he mimicked, "Isn't it quite obvious that I'm drawing?"

Draco growled. "Real smart." He muttered, moving behind Harry as he tried to get a peek at what the raven-haired teen was drawing. Harry, of course, closed the book so that the sketch wasn't visible. "What I meant was: what are you drawing?" Draco finished.

Harry laid his head back over the top of the couch so that he could see Draco, "Nothing." The blonde scoffed. "You've got to be drawing something or do you just sit around with a pencil and a sketch book for a hobby? And I thought Sirius had issues..."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Ok, so it's something. If you're lucky I might show you when I've finished, though it isn't very good." Draco smirked, "Ok." he said as he sat down on the lounge next to Harry, turning the TV on.

Harry, yet again had to contain a gasp. The tingly feeling that he had gotten last night when they had shaken hands had returned when their shoulders had touched briefly when Draco had sat on the couch. Harry frowned. What the heck is wrong with me? Maybe Herm might know. I have to send her and Ron a letter anyway. Clearing his thoughts he shook his head before going back to his sketch, careful to make sure that the book faced the opposite way to the blonde.

Dear Herm,

How are you and Ron going? How's school? Give ol' Snape a kick up the ass for me, the miserable old bastard. Tell Ron it's the holidays over here, no school for another week and a half. Lucky me!

I'm actually starting to like it over here; it's really peaceful and country-ish. Sirius lives on the outskirt of Sydney, which, as you probably know, is the capital of NSW. Though, I'm missing both you and Ron like crazy already and I've got jet-lag; Evil time differences.

Anyway, Sirius is nice in a very crazy, childish sort of way. He's really making an effort to help me fit in over here, which I'm really grateful of. All the kids in our street seem to think he's a god, probably because he gives them chocolate; the crawler. He can also be really understanding too, 'cause he has this guy here, Draco, he's my age and goes to my new school. From what I understand he had a fall-out with his parents and ended up with Sirius, though I'm sure there's more to it.

Draco is really… strange, in his own sort of way. He's very funny and friendly, though most of the time he's a down right bastard. Most of the time he's selfish, mean and sarcastic, though he has another side where he can be the complete opposite of that; really strange personality if you ask me. He's the opposite then what I thought the typical Australian guy would be, too, with his white-blonde hair and fair skin. Must have English relations.

I also have a question for you Hermione. I don't know what's happening. Every time I touch Draco, or if we are close I get this sort of funny, tingly feeling. It's really strange. Have any ideas what it is or what it means? I have no idea.

Take care of yourself, and Ron.

Love Harry.

Harry smiled as he re-read the letter he was going to send to his best girl-friend. The last few days Harry had spent most of his time either catching up on sleep or getting to know Draco and Sirius.

He re-read the letter again before folding it and putting it into the envelope. After writing Hermione's address and putting a stamp in the corner and stood.

"Sirius? I'm just going down the road to mail a letter to my friend. Is that okay?"

"Course it is, Harry. Don't take too long, though, dinner should be ready soon."

Harry nodded as he walked out the front door, hopping Hermione would find an answer to his problem.

Author's Notes.

Wow, I'm happy I've finished this chapter; I'm really excited about this story and it's giving me loads of inspiration! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! You guys gave me the motivation to get off my ass and write! You guys rock!

The next chapter will probably be Draco's POV since Harry arrived and then Hermione's reaction when she gets Harry's letter. Not promising it will happen this way, but this is what I'm thinking of doing. What do you guys think?

Back on the subject of reviews; I better get around to answering them all, shan't I?

Ranma064: Thank you heaps for reviewing! I hope you enjoy this chapter:)

Alraune: I agree that Ron and Hermione are cute together; they are my second favorite HP couple, apart from Harry and Draco of course! I'm thinking of a title, I really am, but I'm not too good at coming up with title names. I promise I'll think and think and think and think until my head explodes!

MadleyTassida and BlazeSplinder Froste: Yay, Aussies! Yes, Draco is Australian, but both his parents are English sothat explains his fair skin :) I'm not actually from Sydney, but from another, smaller town about 80km south from there, but I do go to Sydney often. I'm glad you like this story and I hope you like this chapter too!

:) Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to review, review, and review some more! Please?

Love Erin.
