A/N: well im going on holiday for 2 weeks so I wont update till after that.

Lucius and Narcissa apparated to a side alley not far away from privet drive, transfigured their clothes to that of muggles and walked off, hand in hand, towards the house they would most likely be buying.

A man stood in a pinstriped suit outside number 6 privet Drive waiting patiently with a clipboard. Lucius and Narcissa walked over to him and they made simple introductions. The man, Lyndon, was rather too enthusiastic about the house for their liking but they didnt say anything.

'Now then there are wonderful neighbours on both sides. Both lovely respectable families. Do you have any children Mr and Mrs Morlem?'

The Malfoys had decided to buy their house under the name Morlem so that any Muggle gossip, that may reach wizarding ears, would not give away their location.

'Yes, we have a son whos 14.' Narcissa said.

'Ahhh well there's a child the same age living in number 4 and a five-year old girl living in number eight. Anyways moving through the house we have the entrance hall. As you can see the paint work and wallpaper needs no touching up. It's all pristine and in top condition! One of our best houses this is! Now through here is the living room rather spacious enough room for a moderately large family to gather around a TV. Now at the back of the room this joins the kitchen so would make sense to be joined into a dining room. Now then circulating back into the hall we have a small space under the stairs just about enough room for the electrics and boiler and a few coats and umbrella. Now then up the stairs we have a family bathroom, an en-suite master bedroom and two other smaller rooms that can be turned into studys or whatever really. So what do you think?'

The elder Malfoys were very confused at the muggle words. Tv? Boiler? Electrics? Never the less they smiled and gushed about random aspects.

'Can we buy it now?' Lucius enquired.

'Well you see the house has developed quite a lot of interest and the price is going u-' Lyndon started.

Lucius sensing this was going to be a long spiel of what was basically a 'no' to his question, decided to just bid ridiculously higher.

'Ill give you three quarters of a million.'

Lyndon paled. The house wasnt worth that much! 'Done' he stated. He started fiddling around for papers and then drove them to the property retailers were they signed the lease, and Lyndon handed them the keys.

Mr and Mrs Malfoy apperated back to their new house and started summoning furniture from the manor to number 6 privet drive. While the couple were working there was a knock at the door. After a few minutes they remembered there were no house elves present to answer it so they both set off for the door. Lucius opened it first to reveal a plump man with a red face stood next to an even fatter but shorter blonde haired kid in a red pinstriped suit, straw hat and a cane. Clearly this was the mans son. What Lucius presumed was the mother stood tall and stick thin behind them holding a dish covered in foil.

'Hello im Vernon Dursley, My son Dudley Dursley and my beautiful wife petunia. We live next door at four privet drive. We'd like to be the first to welcome you into our neighbour hood.' Vernon smiled and Dudley and petunia waved as their respective names were called out.

Lucius didnt like them already, he could see vernon had his eye on the expensive furniture and clothing. He had the words 'gold digger' just written all over him. Also he was sure a child shouldn't be that fat. But with inbred Malfoy manners he decided to get in the streets good graces.

'Hello mr Dursley-'

'Vernon please!'

Lucius smiled politely. 'Hello Vernon. I'm Lucius Morlem. And this is my wife Narcissa Morlem. What a lovely family you have.'

Petunia beamed with pride and stepped forwards. 'You must be very tired! All your furnitures in already! I've made you some lasagne for tonight so you don't have to cook.'

Narcissa took the dish with a polite 'thankyou'

'I say do you have any children Lucius?'

'As a matter of fact i do. I have a 14-year-old son called Draco.'

'Ahh the same age as my dudders then! what school is he going to? My son goes to smeltings. A private school for fine young boys. Will you be enrolling him there?'

This man was already getting on Lucius's nerves. He thought others might see him like this, a foul bragging git, and shivered.

'Sounds...interesting. No i shall not. You see my son attends a boarding school in the scottish highlands called ho-' narcissa placed a well-aimed jab into Lucius's ribcage,

He gasped but got the message. 'Arr sorry. I meant holbourne. Holbourne school. He will be returning in a few days for the summer holidays. I'm sure our children will get along perfectly.'

Lucius just hoped vernon didnt look up holbourne because he had no idea whether it existed or not. Of course he knew Draco would never get along with such a pig but it would be fun to build the man hopes up then crush them down. He wasnt a slytherin for nothing after all.

Vernon nodded in agreement and they all bid farewell and returned to their respective houses.
