Harry exited his room a few minutes later, toothbrush along with toothpaste stuffed in his pocket, and closed the door with one hand on the crutch and the door handle at the same time, balancing on his right leg and left crutch. When he rounded the corner leading to the office to drop of his key and check out properly, he met Draco, leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for him.
"All ready?" the blonde asked, stepping away from the wall.
Harry nodded.
Draco accompanied him to the office, matching his pace with Harry's and opened the main doors for him after he had dropped off his key.
"Thanks", Harry murmured as he walked through. He could see Martin standing next to their car in the nearest parking lot, consulting his mobile phone. Thomas was already sitting behind the wheel. Harry turned to Draco.
"It has been nice meeting you, Draco", he said.
Draco kicked a stone over the walkway, hands in his pockets. "Maybe we can meet in Boston? I think I might come down there in a few days, to meet some friends. I could show you around. I lived for a few months in the city."
Harry felt joy rushing through him. "Yeah… That would be so great!"
Draco's face lit up. "Ok…" He rubbed the back of his head. "Guess I see you, then", he said, giving him an unsure look.
Harry stared at him for a few seconds. "It's alright to hug me", he said, trying not to laugh out loud when Draco slightly blushed, arms dangling at his side. "Even if I might not be able to hug you back properly".
Draco grinned relieved and stepped forward to embrace Harry, making sure not to throw him off balance in the process. Harry closed his eyes for a brief moment and took in the fresh smell of Draco's hair.
Draco watched Harry from the door as he approached the van, both of Harry's friends now already inside. When Harry had reached the open sliding door at the left side of the van he tossed one crutch inside, turned and leaned against the seat to free the other crutch and put it away, too. He then grabbed the handle at the ceiling, pulled his right leg inside and pushed himself up into the car and onto the seat. It took some time until he was seated and his legs placed properly before the sliding doors closed and Thomas started the car.
Harry pulled down the window and waved at Draco who waved back from the house, grinning. Harry took one last look at the wharf and the blonde man before the van rounded a corner and both disappeared from view.
Martin turned in the passenger seat at the front.
"You got your photo camera out? Because we will have a lot of great sights today and we are stopping at each single one!"
Harry sank back in the seat and, suppressing a sigh, nodded. "Sure"
