CEP's POV

Harry left his private bathroom and entered the office area of his private quarters, only to see that Voldemort had just entered. The older looked back for a real long time surprised, before he eventually turned around and made a show of turning towards and looking out the window.

"My apologies; I knocked on the quarter's doors and the Malfoy House-elf let me in." The older explained himself while speaking towards the window and Harry could see some redness on the corner of his cheeks.

"I... I'll go put some clothes: we can talk afterwards." Harry agreed.

Voldemort nodded, but kept looking out the window. Harry hurried into his bedroom and closed the doors.

Holy shit! He hadn't even been wearing a towel!!!

When he came out again, Voldemort was still by the window.

"I'm proper." The younger one put in.

The You Know Who finally turned and looked at Harry's hair still wet, took out his wand and approached, drying it for Harry.

"You don't bring a change of clothes to the bathroom?"

"I just took a medicated immersion bath because of my scars." Harry explained. "If I bring my clothes, they get mothy and then Aunt snaps at the smell." He blushed. "I didn't expect for someone to be outside so after drying myself I left the towel behind."

"You need to teach your family's House-elf that when you are taking a bath or changing clothes to not let anyone inside for you." Voldemort explained. "Unless of course if you have an accident or are ill."

Harry nodded and Voldemort stepped back again. He shyly looked up.

"Did something happen? Any reason in particular for you to come?" He asked. "We did see each other this morning, after all."

"I've brought you your requested courtship gift." Voldemort agreed and signalled the box on the top of the desktop.

"Really?" All shyness at being caught naked disappeared as Harry's eyes turned towards the desktop and he saw the Fleetwood Broomstick Servicing kit. "No way!" He immediately hugged the older thankfully before he run towards the desktop and opened it. "Thank you so much. I really needed to proper care for my broom."

Harry ran back into his bedroom, returned with his Lightningbolt in a hurry and set it over the desk eagerly. He picked the scissors and promptly took over of the tail that with the constant Bludgers was in need of some trimming.
