DRACO POV
Draco walked out of the suite with a smirk in the corner of my mouth. The look on Harry's face when he called him by his first name was priceless. He was so innocent like that. He sighed a bit and walked around the railing and into his master suite; directly opposite Harry's guest room. While he was in the shower, relaxing under the warm cloak of water he was able to re-visit the day.
Ginny Weasley had cheated on Harry...willingly. Draco admitted it was a little strange, yet he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of contentment. If Ginny had supposedly so easily cheated on Harry, Harry clearly deserves better. And Draco was going to re-define the meaning of "relationship" for him.
He switched of the water, dried himself off with a royal green luscious bath towel that had his initials embroidered on it and got dressed into casual black slacks with a silvery grey button up shirt. He intentionally left the top three buttons undone.
"Sensuous, yet subtle." Draco whispered to himself as he glanced at the full length mirror. He strolled out of his suite and took one quick glance at the giant wood oak grandfather clock he had inherited from his father; he now had an hour left before dinner.
"Diddy!" he said loudly, yet gently. Diddy appeared in an instant with a small pop, he was now holding two spatulas, both encased in dried egg.
"Diddy, dinner must be prepared in an hour as I promised Master Potter to have dinner at 7:30". Draco stated. Diddy nodded feverishly.
"Diddy has already begun Master Draco; Diddy is making his Master's favourite! Diddy is making medium rare lamb cutlets with baked potato with a little butter on it; and a side dish of prawn omelette! Diddy will also bring Master Draco's favourite dinner drink; coca-cola, the black liquid that muggles drink!" Diddy finished off whilst bowing again.
Draco smiled. Diddy never failed to impress or lighten his mood. "Thank you Diddy, I'll call for you at 7:30 then" he said. Diddy bowed again and disappeared with another pop. Draco sighed slightly and glanced at the guest suite. The door was still open and he could hear the shower still running...Harry must be having a very reflective time in the shower to be in there for almost an hour.
Draco wasn't too sure what Harry preferred for dinner and he wasn't about to serve a dead animal if he didn't like it. He walked his way over to the suite and gently knocked. "Potter? You still alive in there?" he said with a small smirk.
"Oh yeh I'm coming, sorry I took so long; I was kind of pre-occupied." Harry said as he walked out with only a royal green towel wrapped around his wet slender waist. Draco eyes flashed down to the droplets of water disappearing underneath the towel...Harry didn't seem to notice. Draco had to suppress himself from running his tongue on Harry's chest. "That's alright. I was just wondering what you preferred for dinner?"
"Oh. Umm...roast beef with mash potato would be nice". Harry said softly, looking slightly sheepish. Draco smiled. "Tell Diddy then." Draco said. Harry's head snapped up, a look of question upon his face.
"What? Why? He's not my house elf." Harry said quickly, fiddling with his towel. He finally seemed to realize he was only wearing a towel. "Well, what transpired between you and Ginny tonight I believe is not going to heal quickly and you're welcome to stay as long as you want. And whilst that happens you might as well get used to calling Diddy yourself." Draco explained with a small smirk whilst strolling out. "Just start by calling out his name". Draco said over his shoulder as he headed back into his suite leaving a dumbfounded Harry behind.
Harry POV
Harry cleared his throat. "Diddy?..." he said with question. Diddy appeared with a pop, he bowed low. "Yes Master Harry?" he said whilst standing obediently. "Um..Well I'd like some roast beef with mash potato for dinner...please!" Harry said quietly. "I mean if that's alright". He added with an awkward shuffle and a fiddle of the towel. Diddy bowed yet again "As you wish Master Potter, it will be ready in 45 minutes." He said, before he disappeared with another pop.
Harry sighed with relief. Taking a look down at the attire he was wearing; well lack of attire really, he hurried to open his suitcase and took out underwear, black jeans and an emerald green shirt. He slipped them on, and shoved his feet into his shoes before cautiously heading out of the guest suite. According to the large clock, it was 7pm...half an hour to go. Harry felt rather awkward standing in the middle of the hallway dressed rather casual for a manor like this one. He had just decided to head back into the suite when he was interrupted.
"Potter!" Harry's eyes darted over the railing and downstairs.
DRACO POV
"Potter!" Draco said loudly as he looked upstairs. "Come downstairs." added. He waited as Harry made his way down the circular staircase. "We've got half an hour before dinner, I thought you might like to look around." Draco said as he viewed Harry subtly. Harry nodded. "Um yeh, I'd love to."
Draco nodded and he led the way to the right into the living room. Ironically enough, he had a lot of red and gold in his house for a former Slytherin. Antiques covered the walls and two brilliant antique gold-lined couches faced each other in the centre of the room. An beautifully crafted table stood in-between them. Draco took a peak at Harry's face which seemed to contort into some painful emotion he couldn't identify.
"Wow...umm...Wow Malfoy. This kinda...well kinda looks like my living room, just more magnificent." Said Harry with a painful, yet rather large smile. "mmm...I'm glad you like it Potter." Said Draco as he sat himself down and gestured for Harry to do so. Harry took the seat opposite him.
HARRY POV
Harry saw the resemblance of Draco's living room to his own. It was a little painful to deal with, seeing as all he could seem to see was Dean and Ginny banging the crap out of each other. The mere thought made him clench his fists.
"Harry?" Draco saying his first name brought him back to earth. "You alright Potter? You were gone for a while." Harry nodded quickly "Oh yeh, yeh I'm fine." He said quickly looking at Draco's face, although his fists never unclenched.
"Your fists are clenched so tight I'm pretty sure the skins about to rip off....It's about Ginny isn't it? It's really hurting you." Draco said cautiously. Harry sighed and looked down, he unclenched his fists and turned away. "You know you CAN talk about it. We have been friends for a while Potter. You know I'm not one to spill secrets." Draco said slowly. "Then saying that...you don't have to say anything, I'm just offering." He added.
Harry sighed yet again. From past experiences he knew it wasn't a good idea to just build things up and not tell anyone. Back in Hogwarts he always had Ron and Hermione; but they had a life together now, they have their own life. Harry was scared about telling Ron in general, Ginny may be of age, but she was still a little girl in Ron's eyes. Harry knew he wasn't going to be over what happened very soon, he might as well talk to Malfoy.
"I didn't see it coming from her." Harry started. Draco leaned slightly forward, a concerned look plastered his face. "I know her and Dean had a past, but I just thought she wouldn't be disloyal, that she wasn't a disloyal person in general....she certainly proved me wrong." Harry continued. "I don't even know how to take it. I'm still thinking I'll go home and Ginny will be there waiting for me to tell her what dinner I want...I mean is it because I wasn't there for her? Admittedly I was training basically all the time to be an Auror and I only really did see her at night. Maybe that was it...maybe I drove her away." Harry finished whilst looking down.
"I don't think that's true." Harry jumped a little bit, surprised at hearing Draco's voice right next to him. He hadn't even noticed that Draco had stood up and moved next to him. "Ginny was responsible for what she did. I think she did try and refuse Dean, I think Dean must have pursued her too much. And what Ginny did is her responsibility. You didn't push her away. When you weren't studying you were with her. And I know that because my shift ends the same time as you." Draco said.
"You say that with such confidence." Harry said. "Well I honestly don't believe Ginny didn't cheat on you without trying to refuse first, and personally, I think you think the same to." Draco said, staring intently at Harry's face. Harry thought it was astounding how well Draco was able to read him, but regardless of this Ginny's actions had still been a blow on him. If she did care for him like he thought she did she wouldn't have done such an act. Draco seemed to read his thoughts and distracted him from the pain.
"It's 7:30 already, dinner should be ready, would you like to dine in here?" Draco said, rearing Harry out of his thoughts. "Oh wow time goes fast; um yeh, here is fine." Harry replied. Draco nodded before Diddy appeared with the food. The next 45 minutes was filled with the sounds of clanging knives and forks and the occasional talk about how Harry felt and how long he thought he'd be staying.
"Well I suppose I should head to sleep then, I've got training tomorrow." Harry said as Diddy took the last plate away. Draco nodded. "Yeh you've had a trying day." He said with a small smile that held no pity, which Harry liked. They walked up the grand staircase together and bid good night as they entered their respective suites.
Harry shut the door to the guest suite. As he relaxed on the magnificent bed he couldn't help but realize how comforted he felt by Malfoy. It caused the same uneasy stir in the pit of his stomach that he still couldn't identify. As his thoughts drifted around a pair of silver-grey eyes he slipped into the first calming sleep he'd had in a while.
VOILA! There we go! Their relationship is coming along! =D. I hope you enjoyed it and didn't die of boredom. Please review =). I would sincerely appreciate it!
