Chapter 3
Lucius made a portkey and all three Malfoys arrived as close to Number 4 as the wards would allow. They walked up to the door and Lucius rang the bell.
"Boy, get the door," was heard ringing through the house. Harry had regained consciousness, so the Dursleys figured he was able to get back to work.
"Yes, Uncle Vernon," was the wheezy reply. Harry was still having a hard time breathing. A short time later, the door was opened by Harry who was gasping and could barely stand.
When Harry saw who was at the door, he could care less. "Please come in," Harry said politely. Both Lucius and Draco were shocked that Harry had already regained consciousness and hadn't tried to hex them yet.
"Well, boy, who is it?" Vernon asked coming into view. Upon seeing how expensively dressed the Malfoys were, he said, "Please excuse the boy's manner, or lack there of. His parents didn't have many either," at this, Draco almost lost control, this poor excuse of a muggle had just insulted his mate, his mate's parents, and a pureblood wizard.
"Come in and sit down. Can I get you some tea?" Vernon continued, oblivious to the danger he was in.
As soon as their backs were turned, Vernon whispered to Harry, "You know what to do, and no noise, or the same thing as earlier will happen." When Draco, who thanks to his inheritance had a cat's hearing, heard this he wondered what was up. It didn't sound good for his mate.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Dursley, I trust you are doing well?" Lucius asked, glancing slightly at his wife who was still trying not to laugh at the way Vernon was taking the job who his wife, as hostess, should be fulfilling.
"Yes, quite well, and you Mr. errr….."Vernon trailed off.
"Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy."
"A pleasure to meet you Mr. Malfoy" Petunia piped in, " If you wish, your wife could join me in the kitchen and you son could go with Dudley to the park, so that you and Vernon may talk."
"I'm sorry to decline your offer, but we came here for simply one reason, and that is to see about Mr. Potter" Lucius replied, tersely, he was not at all impressed by the way these stupid muggles reversed roles. Vernon offering tea, like a woman, and then Petunia taking the man's role in dividing them up. And then to have the audacity to criticize another's manners.
"Oh, so you are one of THEM" Vernon said, face turning purple.
"If you mean a wizard you should respect as your better, then yes" Lucius replied coolly.
"Boy, get down here!" Vernon yelled. After a pause, Harry appeared.
"If that is all you're here about, take the boy and leave. Although, I must warn you that he is an ungrateful little brat." It was all Draco could do not to hiss at this comment.
"Thank you, but we will take this risk" Lucius stated, then "Come, Draco, Narcissa, bring Harry and let us return to the manor."
Draco turned to Harry and said, "Come Harry, wouldn't want to make Father mad, now would you?" Harry numbly shook his head and followed Draco.
