harry potter: a phoenix reborn

chapter 4

draco was beyond shocked to learn he had a foster brother and it was harry bloody potter

"draco, harry has explained to us everything that has happened between you and him at hogwarts, it will be forgotten from now on you two are brothers i will expect you to act as such, harry may very well be a pureblood, and one who can change our world drastically" lucius said to his son

"yes father" draco said obediently 

"good, please show him around the manor" narcissa said

"before that, may i have my own house-elf, i have one who i think i can get to serve me for free" i said

"is it dobby" lucius asked i nodded

"very well, you may bond with dobby" lucius said

"dobby" i called

"master harry pot-" the elf froze at seeing the malfoys

"dobby calm yourself, they will not harm you, i wanted to know if you wished to become my own personal house-elf" i said

"yes dobby would love to be harry potters house-elf" dobby said at that the ceremony was explained to me and we bonded

"you are to do as the malfoy's asked but all punishments will come through me if i deem it necessary to punish you understood" i asked

"yes master harry potter sir" 

"must you use my full name" i said annoyed

"I am sorry master harry sir" dobby said

"much better, your dismissed dobby" i said

"lord malfoy" i said

"call me lucius you are apart of our family now, harry" lucius said he was very serious about his new commitment he would not betray the boy not that he was apart of his family

"lucius then, do want to know the best way to get the loyalty of the muggleborns, and the house-elfs without them loopholing their way into betraying you" i asked

"tell me" he said

"kindness, that is the problem with most purebloods, and honestly it makes me wonder how you are all slytherins, when you brute force your way through everything, if you treat the muggleborns respect and you patiently explain to them that this is not their world, but ours and they are joining us they will be more willing to not force their way in and try and change everything" i said

"hmm you have a point, instead of trying to force the muggleborns to submit, we should try to subtly manipulate them" lucius said i nodded

"now don't get me wrong there are many things in our world that should be updated, have you seen the muggle world their technology would make our lives so much easier if we took the time to adapt to them as well, some things do need to change, but not everything that is why i said we should come to a compromise, not everything should be black and white" i said

"mr. potter i didn't take you as a philosopher" lucius said impressed he agreed with harry's points

"please do not call me potter i am slowly learning how much of a manipulative bastard my father really was and i am hoping to open my grandfathers eyes on the subject" i said

"very well, i will simply call you harry then" lucius said i nodded gratefully

a week later i was back in the headmasters office at hogwarts
