Harry followed Minerva up the stairs glancing back only once to see that the beast was gone, so turning back to Minerva he decided to ask her his questions.
"Who was that?" he asked nervously
"That was Draco Malfoy, the master of this castle," she said without stopping, heading for the second set of stairs when they reached the top of the first set.
"Why does he look like that? I mean was . . . is he human?"
"That is for him to say in his own accord, and yes he is human," Harry frowned and remained silent after she answered, following her as she led him up to the third floor and along to a set of large red doors.
"This Master Potter . . ."
"Call me Harry, miss," he said quickly, she froze and turned to look at him critically before smiling and nodding
"Of course Harry and you may call me Minerva," she said quickly before she turned and beckoned to the doors, "This is your room, I hope you'll find it suitable to live in, Madam Malkin will be around shortly to help you find something to wear for Dinner, until then do look around your room, good bye," she said before fading away into the background.
Harry stared at where her form previously habituated before shrugging and opening one of the red doors, the wooden texture of the door seemed to move beneath his fingers but when he looked at it, all he saw was solid red willow.
Stepping into the room he closed the door before looking around and gaping at the room, it must have been gigantic, he was positive it could fit the whole of Godric's Hollow inside, but before he could go and explore he was greeted by the form of a small plump woman.
"Madam Malkin I presume," he said nervously, she grinned and nodded happily.
"Of course dear, now let's get you sorted out with some clothes for dinner, but first I'll give the quick tour of your room," she said with a wink before beckoning for him to follow, leading across to the first door on his left she opened it somehow and let Harry have a look.
He gasped and stared at the scene before him, there was a balcony that seemed to stretch along the whole side of the building.
"This my dear is the balconies, they stretch from every room on the second floor, to the third and then to the roof, they even meet in a big balcony by the ballroom for those that wish to dance outside, now let's see your other rooms," she grinned before closing the door, proceeding to the next one she opened it and again Harry was breathless.
"The bathroom," she said dismissively, but it was enormous, with red marble floors that had gold and silver patterns inlaid into them, the tub could have been classed as a small lake rather than a tub, it had golden taps in the shapes of lions roaring and the ceiling was glass topped so you could see outside through them to the starlit sky.
Moving on to the next room Harry almost fainted at the sight of the bedroom, it was far grander than his own at home, with red silk and satin sheets on the bed and gold woven pillows and curtains, the only thing that seemed out of place was a large silver snake painting opposite the bed, but other than that it was magnificent.
Madam Malkin seemed to grow more excited as they reached the last room, but before opening the door she paused.
"Oh I almost forgot, this big room here is the study, the panels in the walls open up to reveal books, parchments and the such for if you wish to read them. And finally this here is your wardrobe," she said with a giggle before opening the door, Harry froze and stared at the room in astonishment, it seemed to stretch on forever before turning at the end in both direction, apparently to more clothes, but the ones closest were all clothes you would wear in the autumn to the left and dinner clothes to the right, there were small compartments at the bottom for shoes and ones at the top for ties and other accessories, there was even a pull out drawer that displayed a different set of pyjamas whenever you opened it.
"Wow, Madam Malkin this is incredible," Harry gasped breathlessly, staring at the amount of clothes in shock; Madam Malkin grinned and clapped her hands gleefully.
"Oh, I'm glad you like it dear, now let's get you something to wear," she cooed in excitement before dragging him into the room and pulling forward the evening clothes.
She first set out to choose the colour, going through the whole colour spectrum and finally deciding on a black suit with a red and gold tie with a black cape inlaid with a reddish fur for warmth inside the cold corridors of the castle.
Madam Malkin got the suit out and set it out in easy reach before telling Harry that dinner would be in about three hours and that someone would come up and get him when it was ready.
When he was finally alone Harry moved towards the bathroom intent on relaxing a little before dinner.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile the beast was stood in his room looking into an enchanted mirror by a small table in his room, the current focus of his mirror was turning the giant taps on to fill the bath he was soon going to get into, but before the beast could see anymore he was interrupted by a small cough from the doorway.
Jumping slightly he quickly put the mirror back down to the table before looking towards the origin of the sound; there standing politely by the doorway was the dark haired Snape.
"Young Master Draco, I'm sorry to interrupt but I would like to inform you that the boy has settled in well and seems to be fine with the arrangements," he said in a somewhat bored tone.
"Very well Snape, you may go. I have some business I need to attend to before dinner," Draco said quickly before waiting for Snape to leave.
When he was sure that Snape was truly gone he picked up the mirror again and watched Harry in the bath, he sighed sadly.
"How could he ever learn to love someone like me," he said sadly before twisting the mirror in his hand and watching the image change to Harry's Uncle running out of the forest and towards a house near a village. "I wonder how his family are going to take this?" he thought as he watched the large man pant up to the doorway and throw it open.
[Mirror's vision
[Vernon Dursley slammed the door of Godric's Hollow open with a bang and stood in the doorway trying to breath as Petunia came running out of the kitchen, when she saw it was Vernon she sighed happily and ran up to him before attempting to hug his large frame.
"Oh Vernon I'm glad you're back, did Harry save you like we told him to?" she asked him happily.
"Yeah he saved me but we got caught as we were leaving so he's stuck there himself, good riddance I say," he growled, detaching himself from his wife he walked down to the kitchen, as he turned the corner Petunia's face changed from one of indifference to one of fear.
"Mum? You okay?" asked Dudley from the living room doorway.
"Harry's stuck in place of your father Dudley, the poor boy, I hope he's being cared for better than he was here," she said sadly, Dudley nodded and moved to her side.
"So do I Mum, I think us and Ollie are the only ones who do apart from the animals," he sighed before placing a hand on her shoulder comfortingly, before they could say or do anything else Vernon's shout echoed through the house.
"PETUNIA WHERE ARE YOU? I'M HUNGRY FROM ALL THAT RUNNING, MAKE ME SOME FOOD!" Petunia sighed before replacing her mask of indifference and heading for the kitchen.
"Coming dear!"
[End Mirror Scene
Draco stared at the mirror in horror, "That's his family?" he thought in disgust, placing the mirror back down on the table he turned to find Madam Malkin stood there waiting to help him change for dinner.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile at Godric's Hollow shortly where Draco left off we find Dudley still stood by the front door glumly, he stayed there for a few more seconds before starting to turn and move towards the front door, intent on making sure Harry's animals were freed before his uncle got to them, but just as he was about to turn the handle someone knocked on the other side insistently, with a frown he opened the door then scowled.
"What do you want Victor," he growled angrily
Victor glared at him and forced his way past Dudley and headed for the kitchen in determination, slamming the door open he saw Vernon eating a very large meal.
"WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S HARRY?!" he yelled angrily, "Unless you've forgotten Vernon, you agreed for a price for him to marry me in a week's time, so where is that which is rightfully mine?!"
"He's stuck in this big castle somewhere in the forest with a ferocious beast. When he came to get me he got caught as I escaped, if you want him, you're free to go and get him whenever you want," Vernon said dismissively, Victor seemed to turn red before he slammed his hands onto the table angrily.
"I have just heard from Slughorn and Pomfrey that the potion he was given took effect immediately, when I fucked him he may have accidentally been impregnated by me," at the blank look on Vernon's face he growled angrily, oblivious to Petunia's gasp.
"What potion?" she asked weakly, Victor blinked in surprise having just noticed her there.
"Vernon slipped a potion, that Slughorn and Pomfrey made for me, into Harry's drink the night before I came over," he said shortly
"What exactly did that potion do?" she said tersely, Vernon sighed in annoyance but Victor answered all the same, glad of the attention.
"It was designed to enable a male to be able to conceive and give birth to a child naturally without endangering their life, too much," he said happily with a grin, Petunia looked disgusted instantly and quickly left the room.
"So what did you mean when you said 'impregnated?" Vernon sprayed through his food, covering Victor in small bits of food in the process.
Victor wiped his face in disgust before answering angrily, "Since your brain seems to be too small to understand what I've already said, let me spell it out for you. HARRY JAMES POTTER MAY VERY WELL AND IN ALL LIKELIHOOD IS PREGNANT WITH MY CHILD!!! AND YOU, THE IMBECILE HAS LEFT HIM IN THE HANDS OF SOME FILTHY CREATURE, WHICH COULD VERY WELL HURT THAT CHILD!! AND YOU'RE PITIFUL!" he yelled angrily before turning and storming out of the room and the house, muttering about getting Harry back no matter what.
