Chapter 5- Looking around the Ship

Harry smiled. "Yes. They've been here for awhile now. Why don't you come in?" Harry stepped out of the way to let Draco in. "They're in the sitting room."

Draco put a hand over his heart. "Thank you so much for letting them in. I'm so sorry to have to do that, especially when I hardly even know you. I just mentioned that there was some one new next door to Kitty, and then I got paged down to the lab and…"

Harry held up his hand. "Draco. It's fine. They've been very well behaved and were lovely." He tried not to laugh as the other man took several deep breaths.

"Those two girls will be the death of me." Draco took in one last deep breath and then straightened to his full six foot three and smiled down at Harry. "I really appreciate you taking them in."

Harry smiled. "Please, it was my pleasure. I love little kids. Plus I enjoyed having them over, they helped to decorate my living room." He suddenly realized that they were standing in the door way. "Oh please come in." He stepped aside to let the taller man in before he shut the door.

As they tried to move around in the small opening they bumped each other moving to let one or the other through. At one point they stopped facing each other, Harry standing with the top of his head reaching Draco's chin with his messy black hair ticking Draco, his nose in the V dip of the mans chest. They stood there for only a few seconds but that was enough. Draco wanted nothing more than to tilt the smaller mans head back and kiss those beautiful pouty red lips. Unconsciously his hand had started moving to do just that and Harry began to look up at him and they almost kissed until...

"MR. DRACO! MR. HARRY! ARE YOU GUYS COMING! WE FOUND SOME OF MR. HARRYS VIDS!"

They stopped moving, Draco dropped his hand mentally berating himself when he saw that Harry had turned white, he looked questioningly as Harry said, "Some of those vids are not to be viewed by children."

Draco's eyes widened as he went quickly to check to make sure it wasn't one of those, Harry close behind. Leaving the entrance hallway and reaching the living room the two men saw the twin girls dancing around holding one of Harry's numerous Disney movies, "Cinderella" in fact. Draco hid a smirk.

"Cinderella, Mr. Potter?" He raised one elegant eyebrow in question.

Harry blushed. "I have all of the Disney animated movies. It was one of the first things I ever splurged on. My godfathers encouraged it, since I was still living with them and they thought it might help me." He scratched the back of his neck, laughing nervously.

The girls giggled at the slow movement of red through Harry's face.

"Well there's nothing wrong with that." Draco smiled. "Would you mind if the girls watched it?"

"Hm? Oh not at all it's what they're here for. Actually this is a great opportunity for me to learn how to work the video machinery here." Harry smiled brightly.

"We can show you Mr. Harry!" The two girls exclaimed. They ran from the couch they had been jumping on to the empty wall that the girls had insisted be kept that way, Harry hadn't a clue as to why before and now he realized. They pushed a button and suddenly a flat screen rolled down from the ceiling and a console turned out of the wall. Harry watched in fascination.

"Ah, I see. I never would have gotten that. Thank you girls!" Kitty and Katie smiled and beamed from the praise before they set about starting the movie.

"Mr. Harry, you'll never learn to do this if you just stand there." Kitty had turned to glare at Harry who had been sharing a small smile with Draco.

Draco snorted softly as the smaller man looked down at the little girl startled. "OH. I'm horribly sorry Kitty." He now smiled at the two girls and went over to listen to the girls tell him how to work the machine.

Smiling, Draco watched the three of them interact. The twin girls spoke gravely to Harry as he listened intently to them tell him how to use the player. Draco took this time to really look at this new man who had suddenly thrown himself into Draco's life. The messy dark brown hair practically begged to have someone run their fingers through it and those eyes, Draco could drown in those emerald green eyes. He decided that he would be perfectly happy to stare into those eyes forever. He wanted to know the shorter man, he wanted to know and keep the beautiful man, Draco realized with sudden clarity. Suddenly he was jerked out of his reverie by a small voice calling him and his pant leg being tugged at.

"Mr. Draco! Mr. Draco! We're all ready!" Draco looked down to see the sea green eyes of Katie smiling up at him.

Smiling brightly his grey eyes sparkling silver he said, "Well if you're all set, then we should all sit down to watch it then shouldn't we?" Draco chuckled at the two sets of pleading eyes looking up at him gleamed with happiness before they went to lay down on the floor facing the screen with their heads in their hands.

Draco watched as Harry bent down to push the play button before he made his way back to the couch. "Shall we sit?" He gestured to the couch before he flopped down taking up most of the room on it. He grinned goofily up at the blonde and Draco smiled softly down at him.

"Move your legs Lankin and let me sit down."

Harry stuck his tongue out and sat up slightly retracting his far from Lankin limbs grumbling "I'm no Lankin…" But in the end he tucked his legs underneath himself as Draco sat down closely to him chuckling at his grumblings. As the movie went on Harry found himself wanting to lean in towards Draco, maybe even lay his head on the taller mans shoulder. After the happening in the front hallway He was pretty sure Draco wouldn't mind but at the same time… he yawned.

Draco had taken that moment to look over at the conflicted Harry yawning. He moved to whisper into Harry's ear, "You know if you're tired you can use my shoulder." Draco was shocked at himself, he was almost certain that Harry would do it but he hadn't had a date in several months, almost a year, not since he'd taken in the girls. Harry had given him an incredulous look and Draco suddenly realized that it might not have been the best idea.

He needn't have worried because with the next yawn that was emitted from Harry, he had leaned over and snuggled into Draco's shoulder getting comfortable. Draco smiled and wrapped his arm around the smaller man leaning his head on Harry's.

Not five minutes after Harry had gotten truly settled did the doorbell ring. Harry grumbled and mumbled to himself as he moved away from Draco and off the couch. Draco caught snippets of the softly spoken angry words. "Bloody hell… who would come now? Not bloody fair…"

Draco smirked; it was nice to know that Harry had not wanted to get up. He looked down at the girls and smiled. They continued to be mesmerized by the movie and undisturbed by the annoying door bell and unaware that Harry moved across the room to silence it.

Harry was still grumbling as he got to the door. But before he opened it he smoothed his face and put on a smile before he opened the door to which the bell continued to ring. He opened it to see a sickeningly cheerful young girl with bright red hair holding something as she smiled.

"Hiee! You must be the new English Teacher Mr. Potter. I'm Ginny Weasley. My mom made these for you. She's a little busy right now in the kitchens because you know they're getting ready for Lunch, she runs the kitchens, so she couldn't come herself to greet you but she wants to let you know that you are always welcome to visit us, we live just down the hall, and she'll always give you food when you drop by the kitchen, and I just knew that I'd be the first person other than the Capitan to come… oh Dr. Malfoy. What a surprise." She slowed down as her hazel eyes grew hard.

"Miss Weasley. How is your family?" Draco had heard the annoyingly high pitched voice of the youngest Weasley and come up to save Harry, who at the moment was looking more than a little bedraggled by the swiftness of the young woman's speech. He smiled and put one hand on Harry's waist in a familiar manner and watches Ginny's eyes flick down and then back up to their faces.

"They've been fine. I see that you've met the newest teacher." She spoke tight lipped and at a more normal speed.

"Yes, I have. We met when he came aboard last night."

At this point Harry decided that the quiet arguing had gone on long enough. "Thank you Ginny. Are you still in classes?"

Ginny immediately brightened and her speech sped up as well. "Yes, sir. I'm a senior this year. I'm really looking forward to the classes. I'm taking a few different English courses so I'll be with you for three of the periods." She smiled and held of the plate which Harry took smiling. "Well, it was really nice meeting you Mr. Potter, but I've got to go back to the kitchens. Mum told me to be back just as soon as I gave this to you, and now I have. So she'll be waiting for me. See you soon Sir, Doctor." With that she bounded off down the hall.

When she was out of sight Harry closed the door and turned and annoyed face at Draco.
