Draco's POV
Wading through the commuters at King's Cross was hell. Hell.
Not to mention the last time I was there…wasn't that great of a time. It was the day my father decided to disown me.
With a tiny grimace I pulled my trunk loose and looked around, not seeing a way out of the mess of people I sighed and continued swerving as best I could.
As I exited the building and looked around, I saw who I was looking for and walked over
"Blaise." I greeted, he grinned and clapped me on the back
"How're you Draco?" He asked, looking me over "You look good." I perked an eyebrow
"I know. And I'm fine. Thank you for asking." I said with a smirk, he chuckled
"Nice to know you haven't changed." He said leading me down the sidewalk
"Why would I have?" I asked, perking my head, he stopped and turned to me
"You…know." He said, I blinked
"I do?"
"Harry." He stated quietly. I frowned and looked out into the busy street
"How is he?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" He asked, I looked to him
"I'm not ready for that awkwardness yet." I said, tightening my grip on my trunk. Blaise sighed
"Well. You better get ready." He stated, running his fingers through his hair
"And why is this?" I asked, looking at him carefully as he led me into an apparation-safe area.
"We have a guest in from America Draco." He stated, I blinked
"Um…so?" I asked, Blaise stopped and looked at me
"It's Harry." He stated, I blinked again
"Eh?"
"Harry, Draco. Harry is staying with us."
"Wh…what?"
"Harry was working in a healing room in New York. And he came to visit."
I blinked
"Oh." I sighed and looked at Blaise "How's Hermione?"
Blaise grinned
"Eight months pregnant." He chuckled,
"Well then. Congratulations." I said with a small smile, Blaise nodded and looked around
"See you there Draco." He stated, before disappearing with a crack. I stared at the ground
What would happen now?
I sighed and grabbed my trunk before apparating to their house.

I was promptly greeted with a hug by a very round Hermione
"Draco!" She cried, hugging me tightly, I hugged back just as tight; she pulled away and looked me over "Not bad Mr. Black."
I chuckled
"Very brazen for a married woman." I scolded teasingly; she laughed quietly and hugged me again
"We missed you Draco." She said quietly
"I know…I missed you all too…" I replied, she pulled away again, her eyes blazing and smacked me across the arm
"Don't you dare do that again!" She cried, smacking me again, I blinked and rubbed my arm
"Oi! I had no intention to." I stated. Hermione smiled
"Good. So where did you run off to Draco?" she asked, leading me into the kitchen
"Oh…all over the place really. I spent some time in Scotland and Madrid…a year in Rome, and traveled around Florence and Venice. And then I spent the rest of my time in Paris." I stated, Hermione grinned
"Sounds amazing…" She said with a slightly awed tone, I chuckled
"It was." I stated, she perked an eyebrow and I smirked "You know I got you things Hermione. Don't look at me like that." She giggled
"Like I could actually travel and not think of who would like this and like that." I sighed, Hermione smiled
"You didn't buy anything for yourself the whole time…did you?"
I perked an eyebrow and chuckled
"Not really."
Her eyes flickered behind me and she cleared her throat slightly
"I expect to hear all about it later Black." She said with a wink before leaving the room. I blinked a few times and sighed, laying my head the counter
"Hello Draco…" A voice said, I sighed
"Harry."
He stepped into the room and walked into my view and my eyes widened…he looked…utterly fine. I guess somewhere in the depths of my mind…I wished me leaving would make him a mess…
"You look good." He stated, sitting at the table across from me
"I…um…thanks."
His emerald eyes looked me over before locking onto mine, I looked down
"I…" I started, Harry frowned
"Please don't." He said, I blinked and looked up
"What?"
"Don't apologize. Don't tell me why. I don't want to know right now." He stated, I frowned and nodded
"Fine…"
"So how've you been since…?" He trailed off and stared out the window
"…I've…been fine. On the outside at least." I stated, twirling a ring around my index finger. Harry sighed and looked at me, perking an eyebrow
"Only on the outside?" He asked
"Yeah…I've…been having trouble coming at peace with myself…"
"For what?" He asked tonelessly.
"Everything I've ever done Harry." I stated in manner that clearly stated I didn't want to venture further into the topic. Harry nodded and looked down "So what's it like in America?"
"Horrible." He stated simply, I perked my head
"Why's that?" I asked, he glanced out the window again
"It just…is."
"Draaaaaaaaaaacooooooooo." A voice called, and I paled
"Oh shit…Dora." I muttered, standing up and looking for a possible escape. My eyes flickered to Harry and I gave him a pleading look
"Help?" I asked, he perked an eyebrow
"No…I don't think I will." He stated with a smirk. I blinked
"Evil Gryffindor." I hissed
"Cocky Slytherin." He replied dryly
I blinked
"Touché."
"AHA! DRACO!" Tonks shouted, hopping into the room. I blinked; she was sporting fiery red hair and combat boots with a leather trench coat
"Um…h…hi Dora." I said meekly, she looked at me and perked an eyebrow
"Damn Draco. Next time you run off, take me with you!" She cried, I blinked
"Eh?"
This prompted her to go on a spouting session of possibly every single thing that had went wrong since I left.
"And Harry has been horribly pessimistic…" She continued, Harry looked up
"Oi!" He cried, Tonks ignored him and started complaining about how bad the weather had been. I sighed and pretended to be listening
"Oh dear lord Nymphadora, leave Draco alone!" A new female voice cried. Tonks stopped in mid rant
"Sorry Aunt Cissy." She said meekly, I whipped around
"Mum?"
"Hello Dear." She said, smiling softly. I walked over and hugged her.
"How are you mum?" I asked quietly, she laughed slightly and hugged back
"I'm good little dragon." She stated, I pulled away and smiled
"That's wonderful, and Severus?"
She blinked and giggled
"He's wonderful."
I perked an eyebrow
"Oh really."
She nodded, smiling
"Well then. Good for you." I smiled, she laughed
"Not me. Sirius." She stated, I blinked
"Eh?"
"Sirius, Draco." She repeated, my jaw dropped
"Really? Wow. That's…unexpected to say the least."
She laughed
"We thought so too."
Tonks nodded
"I thought it would be him and Remus." She stated, leaning against the wall
"We all did." Harry stated quietly
I blinked
"…I didn't." I replied
"Oh? Who did you think it would be?" Tonks asked, perking her head, I grinned
"You and Remus." I said with a shrug, Tonks blinked
"Um…what?" She asked, I smirked
"You heard me." I stated, she nodded
"Yes. But I didn't think I heard you correctly." She replied, stepping forward
My mum put a hand out to stop her
"Oh Nymphadora. Cut it out." She ordered, Tonks sighed and stuck her tongue out at me before skipping from the room. I blinked
"Sometimes…I find it really hard to believe that she's older than me." I said, my mother laughed and turned to me
"Well Draco. That has definitely been thought before."
Nahahahahahahahaha. Two more to go.
Reviews please:)
