Author's Note - Holy shit! I've had an epiphany! I got this great idea for this story and- well, it won't become clear for quite a while, so I don't know why I bothered to mention it. /shrugs\ sheepish smile/ Okay then, let's keep it rolling shall we?

Disclaimer - No, I don't own Harry Potter… damn…

Draco hesitated before ringing the doorbell. Last night as he was dropped off Harry had invited him to come over today, maybe even go to Pansy's house or show Draco around more. So here he was at 9 AM wondering why he felt so nervous. Suddenly the door swung open and Draco was forced to look down.

The girl there was small and thin and her wild raven hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. She had Hailie's eyes, wide and bright and a baby face. "Who are you?" Apparently she also had Hailie's attitude.

Draco blinked and raised an eyebrow. "Draco Malfoy. Is Harry here?"

The girl put a hand on her jean clad hip. "It's not even nine- thirty yet, where else would he be?"

"Well I don't know now do I? Otherwise I wouldn't be asking you." Draco said before he could stop himself. The little girls mouth opened as if she were about to retort and closed again. There was an awkward pause and then she smiled at him.

"Harry's up in his room." she said her voice much more kind and sweet and fitting to her small form. "Come on, I'll take you up there." She stepped back to allow Draco into the house giving her an odd glance before he looked around at the house so very similar and yet different from his own. The entrance hall was bright and the floors were tiled and it was all clean and shiny.

He followed the unnamed girl up the main staircase and into a hallway where everything suddenly turned to wood. Around a corner and up another staircase was another hall that was brightly lit. She lead him to one of the doors on the left.

"What?" Harry's voice called from inside the room when she knocked.

"You have a visitor!" the girl yelled through the door.

There was silence and then the door opened revealing a surprised Harry once more dressed in black jeans but now with a dark blue shirt. "Hey Draco." he greeted with a grin. "I didn't even hear the bell. Thanks Neenie."

The girl waved goodbye and with a smile she disappeared back down the hall. "Come on in." Harry said ushering Draco into the room and the blonde boy came. He looked around in a bit of amazement.

"It's not much," Harry said happily as he closed the door. "But I like it."

"It's certainly different. I love it." Draco said as he looked around. "My parents would never in a million years let me do this."

Harry's room was defiantly unique. The four walls were different colors; the left one black, the one opposite the door was forest green, the one to the right was midnight blue and the last a dark purple. His floors were made of a dark wood and he had a smoky grey throw rug next to his bed. His blue wall was filled with drawings. The green had a huge window and the purple wall had at least a hundred pictures of various things from places to people. Harry had a fireplace and a overly stuffed couch and arm chair surrounding it.

There was a book self in all four corners of the room and they were each filled and packed tightly. There was a door on either side of the room one leading to a private bathroom and the other a closet. The only thing that really matched was the dark furniture that was his bed, desk and selves and were identical to the color of his polished floor. Though outlandish everything was neat except for a few text books that looked like they'd been knocked off the bed in frustration.

The whole place should have been horrible and tacky but Draco didn't feel that it was at all. It was just… odd.

Harry was smiling at him. "I'm glad you like it. It totally freaked my mum out at first, she thought I'd lost my mind." Draco grinned.

"I think its brilliant. And huge."

"You're room isn't this big?" Harry asked curiously as he leaned against the door watching Draco walk around and inspect his things.

"It is. Maybe bigger. But yours seems so open yet completely filled. If that makes sense." Harry chuckled.

"I get it. I guess I don't notice anymore. My parents and Pansy's rooms are the only one I've ever seen and was sure it was bigger then mines. I don't know what I would do with a small room, I have way too much junk."

Draco turned to Harry and looked him over. He was barefoot and looked a little ruffled but he was still as bright and smiling as last night. "Did you get in trouble?" he asked suddenly. Draco frowned.

"For what?"

"Well you didn't ask your parents could you go out yesterday and then we got back after dark…"

"Oh, no. They had wondered where I was but not worried."

"Oh, okay." Harry nodded. "So what do you want to do today? I was planning on going to Pansy's for a minute and then showing you around but if you have something in particular you want to do . . ."

"No, its fine." Draco said and Harry clapped his hands.

"Okay then. I just need to put on my shoes." Next to his bed he sat down and pulled out some sneakers and in a few seconds they were on and the two were out the door. Draco followed Harry back through the winding house and out the front door.

"You can meet my parents later. I told them about you and they're really interested." Harry passed right by his car in the drive way and stepped onto the side walk and started walking quicker. "Pansy lives three roads behind us so it's a fairly quick walk. Actually you can walk anywhere in this town if you have the mind and time. To school from here on a bad day is only like an hour and a half and that's going all the way to the south."

"What school do you go to?" Draco questioned.

"Hogwarts High, it's the public high school here but very prestigious. No one in this town is dumb. Academically anyway." he laughed. Draco nodded keeping in step with the boy. He had a feeling Harry wouldn't be able to walk slowly if he wanted to. He was way too energetic.

Their talk evaporated as they walked and Draco kept glancing around. The manors around here were all similar in size but the structures were different making them all uniquely beautiful. "Here we are," Harry said and stepped over a low wall in front of a home that was painted a sky-blue. Harry walked right on the grass and up to the door and knocked hard instead of ringing the doorbell. It took only seconds for it to open.

"Hey Baby." Harry greeted Pansy and hugged her.

"Hi Harry, hello Draco." she said with a smile. "You two are up early."

"Who said I ever went to sleep?" Harry laughed and brushed past uninvited into the house. Pansy rolled her eyes and gestured for Draco to come in and she closed the door behind him.

"I wouldn't be surprised at all if you haven't slept yet." Pansy said and started towards the back of the house. "I dropped your things off in the parlor when I got back. Where's Hailie? I thought she would have hightailed it over here with you."

"I think she's still asleep. You know her, the girl has some issues with the morning sun." Pansy grinned and continued to the back of the house. She turned off to the right and walked into a brightly lit and scarcely decorated room. In the middle of the wide empty floor there was three large pink and black duffel bags. Harry jumped excitedly.

"Ooh! Is it big is it big?!"

"Calm down." Draco laughed and Pansy joined in.

"Actually, no. Sorry babe but your gift is like the smallest." Harry pouted his lips childishly.

"Aww."

"But it's worth it." Pansy added as she started digging in one of the bags. It took her a few minutes in which Harry jumped around her clapping.

"What is it what is it?!"

Draco found it extremely amusing. "Ah! Here we are!"

She pulled out a small, brown paper wrapped box and held it out to Harry who took it happily. In contrast to his energy he took his time opening it and slipped out a gorgeous black garnet and silver jewelry box with smallish emeralds set in the top in the shape of an eccentric 'H'.

"God Pansy," Harry breathed in shock.

"Open it!" Pansy said developing some of his hyper attitude. Harry opened the top and a grin spread over his face.

"You are the best." he said in disbelief.

"I know." Pansy said smugly.

Draco looked over Harry's shoulder and saw that in the box were six diamond stud earrings and a beautiful silver Cross. He hadn't known Harry was religious.

"It's absolutely beautiful." Harry told her. "Your taste is one of a kind. Thank you." Harry wrapped Pansy in a tight hug. Pansy grinned.

"So," she said slowly. "What are you two up to for today?" For some reason Harry glared but Draco answered.

"Harry was going to show me around." he said and Pansy smiled cheerfully.

"Sounds like fun, there are quite a few cool places around here. I wish I could come."

"Why can't you?" Draco asked with a glance to Harry but Pansy gestured towards the bags.

"I'm going to be having visitors all day. Whenever one of us goes on a trip we bring something back for everyone else."

"Sometimes I wonder why I started that tradition." Harry muttered and Pansy snickered.

"Because you were trying to show off." she said. Harry winked.

"Oh, that's right. We should probably be going." he said. "Thank you." and he hugged her once again and Pansy walked them back to the front door.

"Bye guys." she said when she opened the door. "Have fun for me, 'kay?" Harry and Draco waved and they went back over the grass to the side walk and started back to their street.

"Did you ask her to get you a cross?" Draco questioned and Harry shook his head.

"No, but it's great, isn't it?" Draco nodded.

"Yeah, it is. Are you religious?" Harry paused.

"No, not really. I mean, I guess I believe in a God but its not like I go to church or anything. What about you?"

"No." Draco said instantly. "My parents aren't the religious type."

"But what about you?" Harry asked making Draco smile but he didn't answer. They got back to Harry's house but didn't go in, instead they got strait into the convertible. Harry put his gift in the glove compartment and started the engine. "If I go in now Hailie will freak out that I didn't wait for her." he laughed as they pulled out of the driveway. "Have you had breakfast? We could stop for something at The Three Broomsticks."

"I'm fine," Draco replied and occupied himself with messing with the radio. When he couldn't find anything interesting he simply sat back and watched Harry drive. "I can probably never do that." Harry looked briefly at him.

"What? Drive?"

"Yeah." Draco said. "I couldn't even pass the written exam."

Harry laughed before he could stop himself. "I'm sorry, that's not funny." he choked. "It's not too hard." he said after a minute. "I passed the written exam the first time though just barley but it took me twice for the actual driving."

"But you still passed." Draco reminded.

"True." Harry grinned.

"It seems like a lot of rules and regulations to me," Draco said. "Something I've never been particularly good with."

"You didn't strike me as the type of person to follow many rules." Draco leaned back.

"Not if I can help it."

"Don't worry about it." Harry told him. "I've never been one to follow rules either. Mum says even when I was little I marched to the beat of my own drum."

"What are your parents like?" Draco asked. Harry took his time in answering.

"I think they're great." he said finally. "They both work a lot. My mum, Lily, from home and dad in an office a town over but they always spend time with us. My dad, James, is Reggie and Jill's dad best friend which is why Sirius is my godfather. Anyway, my parents give Hailie and I a lot of leverage, unlike some of the other parents around here. Dad grew up like this, all rich people and proper grooming and mum had a pretty strict childhood. Neither one wanted that for us because they hated it."

"That's cool." Draco said meaning it. "My parent are all about the rich, strict, and proper grooming. There are so many rules I can't remember." Harry frowned a bit.

"We don't even really have rules. I mean there are a few obvious ones like no drugs and no unsupervised drinking-"

"Unsupervised?"

"Well yeah. Mum says if we're gonna drink it will be at home with them or if we're having like wine or something at a dinner party."

"Wow."

"So drugs, drinking, no throwing parties without asking. Well, huge parties."

"What's huge?"

"Over 25 people."

"What?!"

"I know! Hailie tried to pull for fifty but no go."

"Harry-"

"Also, no boyfriends in the bedroom-"

"Okay."

"Their bedroom that is"

"Their's?! What about yours?"

"Oh, that's fine. We've both had the talk, though it was kinda weird for dad having to alter mine, Hailie knows better then to come home with any babies and I certainly can't get pregnant."

"Oh god."

"No being mean to each other-"

"All you and Hailie did yesterday was argue."

"Yeah but we weren't being mean. Not really."

Draco shook his head both impressed and horrified. "Your parents are… interesting." Harry grinned.

"Tell me about it. The best part is, they totally realize they're being unconventional but they don't care!"

Draco sunk a bit in his seat. "I've never heard of any parents like that."

"Everyone is unique, Draco." Harry brushed off easily. "Which of course is totally contradicting but the point is, you'll never meet any one quite like either of my parents. Which is, speaking on behalf of the health of the society, probably a good thing."

Draco opened his mouth to comment before closing it with an audible snap. Harry glanced his way with a grin. "What?"

Draco raised an elegant eyebrow.

"What what? What could I possibly say to that?" Harry smirked triumphantly.

"Not a damn thing, that's what!" Draco shook his head and occupied himself by looking out the window at the passing scenery as Harry's concentration reverted back to driving though he would look over at the blond boy once in a while. His (Draco's) eyes shown brightly when the sun struck them and he had a small little smile playing on his lips.

'His lush, gorgeous lips.' Harry thought before he could stop himself and he turned abruptly back to the front. 'Shit! No! I am not going to hit on him! Damn you Pansy, I know he's bloody sexy, did you have to rub it in by making suggestive remarks?'

He could faintly imagine Pansy giving him a withering stare and asking, 'Oh, so now it's my fault you can't control your hormones?' and snorted. Draco gave him an odd look, silently asking to be let in on the joke but Harry just smiled in his general direction. "I'm out of my mind," he said as way of explanation and was amused when Draco nodded in a sort of sympathetic understanding. Oh, this would be fun.

--

As they walked down the street Harry pointed out stores and shops that were of interest to him. Draco looked around a bit impressed. There was a lot here and everything was nicely kept. Nothing looking vandalized or broken down. As promised Harry was showing him around. He'd parked his car and jumped out, beckoning Draco to do the same. They were wandering aimlessly around Hogsmead but Harry said they could stop if something really struck his fancy.

"Oi! Harry!" Both Harry and Draco turned at the sound of the dark haired boys name and Harry smiled charmingly at the boy rushing towards them.

"Hello, beautiful. What can I do for you today?" he asked the boy who stopped beside them and tried to catch his breath.

"Keep it- in your pants- Potter." he huffed and Harry grinned whilst Draco snorted which of course brung his attention to him.

"Who are you?" the boy asked straitening up. He had slightly long black hair and deep blue eyes. He looked like he could have been a relation of Reggie and Jillian.

"Draco Malfoy." he answered somewhat defensively but the boy only nodded.

"Terry Boot. You the new kid Ariella won't shut up about?"

Draco blushed slightly and Harry laughed. Terry grinned a bit at him. "I'll take that as a 'yes', then." he said before turning his attention back to Harry. "I wanted to talk to you about the football team this year-"

"Terry," Harry said with a tired sigh. "School doesn't start for two weeks and even then we have a hell of a while to wait before tryouts."

"But you're the captain!" Terry protested looking annoyed. "You should be just as hyped as the rest of us!"

Harry raised an eyebrow looking unimpressed. "And I will be, once the season starts."

Draco looked between the two of them. This sounded like a conversation that had been had many times. Terry rolled his eyes. "The point is, I've been having a few people coming up to me about maybe getting a head start on the competition-"

"Who said that?" Harry asked as his eyes suddenly narrowed. "You know my policy. If they're not naturally good and can be in shape by the time practices really start, we don't need them. Who's questioning it?" Terry grew a slightly nervous look.

"I- it doesn't matter. Look, I know you're policy as does everyone else, but can you really blame them for wanting to get a head start? We haven't lost since you've become caption and all the players perform better after you've forced your special training on them and whipped them into shape."

There was a moment of silence and a smile started to tug on the edge of Harry's determinedly serious lips. Terry looked confused before he blushed. "Keep your mind out of the gutter, Potter!" he hissed and Harry could no longer hold back the smile.

"Sorry Terry, but you brung that on yourself." He held up a hand to silence the boy who opened his mouth to yell at him. "I'll tell you what. These people who want a head start, you work with them."

Terry blinked. "Me?"

"Sure," Harry said with a shrug. "Why not? I trust you. And besides," Harry's smile became slightly predatory. "You were always the easiest to force my special training on as I whipped you into shape, I'm sure you'll manage. If anything, you'll think with you're /cough/ head because you like to stay on top."

Draco instantly covered his mouth trying to hold back the laughter at the look on Terry's face. His mouth opened and closed several times before he finally decided to blurt out, "I'm not easy!"

The few people passing them on the street gave them startled and slightly uncomfortable looks and Terry's face turned a flaming red when a group of girls not far away started giggling. He glared at Harry. "Damn you Potter," Harry blinked in curiosity.

"What? What did I do?" Terry gave him a dirty look before turning on his heel and storming away, ignoring the looks from the passerby's he was still getting.

Harry managed to wait until he was out of earshot before bursting into laughter. Draco soon joined him. "Don't worry about Terry," he managed to choke out. "He's a good guy and not nearly as filthy minded as he seems."

"Him?" Draco couldn't help but ask and Harry grinned wickedly.

"Well of course! I couldn't possibly be talking about myself, now could I?" Draco snickered.

"Of course not. Don't know why I even brought it up."

"Not a problem, no harm done." Harry said nonchalantly and preceded down the street.

Draco shook his head in amused amazement and they proceeded along as if nothing had happened, talking and window shopping. It was a while before Draco brought up something that had been nagging him. "Harry, who was that little girl in your house?" he asked curiously. Harry looked at him incredulously.

"We didn't tell you?" he asked bewildered and Draco's eyes narrowed a bit.

"Tell me what?"

Harry ran a hand through his already messy hair absently. "She's our little sister, Hailie and mines."

Draco raised and eyebrow. "You have another sister?" His voice was doubtful making Harry frown.

"Yeah, two actually. The girl that answered the door for you was Harmony, she's twelve. The other is Hikari who's nine, you'll meet her sooner or later, I suppose." Draco rolled his eyes.

"So you just forgot that you had two sisters in the woodworks?"

Harry's frown deepened but not in irritation or anger but in thought. "It's not that I forgot about them…" he said slowly. "It's just that they usually don't come up as topics of conversation unless Neenie got smarmy with someone over the phone or Kari comes down with a something. Or if Hailie is complaining about them. Besides, if we didn't that means the others didn't mention their brothers and sisters last night."

"Ginny's not the only one with siblings?" Draco asked after a awkward paused.

Harry shook his head. "Of course not. Ariella has three little sisters: Taylor, Serenity and Elwen. Reggie and Jill have three little ones too: Lionel, Dimetri and Shawna. Basil even has a baby sister, well half sister- from his mother's last marriage, Kanna."

"And none of you cared to mention this?" Draco asked with a bit of aggravation. He hated being left out of the loop. Harry shrugged.

"Like I said, they don't come up. They're all too you to hang out with us properly, though sometimes our parents do goad us into bring them along."

Draco stared for a few moments before scoffing. "I feel sorry for you all, I doubt I could handle siblings."

Harry's grin returned in an instant. "They're not that bad!" he exclaimed loudly and drawing some attention to them again. "I adore Neenie and Kari, even Hailie, and Basil dotes constantly over Kanna. The Blacks and the Lupin Girls are trouble makers but still basically my baby- cousins. In fact, Hermione and Pansy are super jealous!" Draco scoffed again and then very carefully noted,

"You didn't mention the Weasley's."

Harry shot him an amused glance as the moved down the street. It was steadily becoming more crowded. "Ah, but there are mixed feelings about them too, aren't there?"

"Such as?" Draco questioned lightly.

"I don't like Ron, obviously." Harry shrugged. "And I don't care much for Ginny's brother Percy either. The twins, Fred and George, are cool and I like her oldest brothers too, Bill and Charlie."

Draco hummed in acknowledgement and Harry grinned. "But I'm sure all this isn't the least bit interesting to you. We came here to shop!"

A/N - Well there you are. Chapter two. It's funny really. It's about eight pages long and I hardly said anything at all. You learn a bit more about the group and their families and Harry's… not so innocent personality (and mine), but that's about it.

If Lily and James sound absolutely insane, well, they are. You'll get to see them soon enough

Hope you liked it and if you didn't… umm, my bad?

Love you all
