Better Potter

Shower & Snuggle

Last Time:

As he put the newspaper back he smirked. It's only a matter of time before he, the Boy Who Lived, puts everything back in order ...

XXXXXXXXXX

"Tom took your advice, but he wasn't happy about it." Draco commented to break the ice as he unpacked his things.

Adrian chuckled, "Yeah, but it helped him in a more useful way."

"No kidding." Percy said as he skimmed the issue of the Quibbler, which announced that Tom helped catch the Poly Juice Murderers. "At this rate he'll be the next minister in no time ... Oh dear Merlin! Can we ask RazorBlood to give Dumbledore this information? I so want to know how he reacts." He said excitedly and a pretty, yet thorny, amber colored arm band around his wrist purred.

It was revealed to be a flexible wand, which, along with many variations of his bookmarks, were Adrian's best selling items. Even Draco had a shiny black wand with gold thunderbird feather like markings on it, but the loving wand preferred to curl around Draco's neck like a beautiful choker. The pretty yellow meditation crystal embedded in the center made it nearly impossible to tell if it was a wand or just jewelry.

An amused Draco smirked, "Someone is smashing all the policies he tried to build up. He'd probably freak out."

"Hmm true ... but I mainly want to know if he'd realize who Tom really is to him." Percy commented mischievously, giving a shocked Draco a knowing glance when he came out of the bedroom.

Draco's shock melted away and he looked at Adrian with a raised eyebrow, "You told him everything?"

"It seemed wise to make sure we're on the same page." Adrian said bluntly, not regretting anything.

An amused Draco scoffed, "At least, I don't have to tiptoe around the subject. It was giving me a headache dealing with some of the other Hogwarts students, who really want to know what it's like to live in a manor and if they can see it."

Adrian chuckled at the cute annoyed look on Draco's face, "Your dear aunt's hobbies are enough of a reason to keep people at arms length."

"Quite true." Draco sighed in exasperation as he sat down on the couch with Percy, who was now reading an article on the store he and his brothers run called Weasley Wonders. "Everything was easier when everyone hated Slytherins." He pointed out with a laugh.

Adrian kissed the top of his head, "Good thing this is your last year and maybe it'll get easier when Tom finishes his hunt."

Draco nodded as his heart fluttered from the simple kiss, "Everyone is searching so it shouldn't be much longer though once that's done he'll want you to himself-" Draco had looked up at Adrian at that moment and was silenced with a gentle kiss to the lips this time.

When Adrian pulled back he looked at the flushed blonde's silver eyes, "We'll figure it out when it gets to that point. For now let's just settle in ... Just be careful going outside. Emily spotted more fools."

Draco's eyes narrowed, "Your place is still being watched, isn't it? I mean by people other than Tom's followers." He muttered dryly, knowing that Tom's Death Eaters wouldn't let themselves get caught by a 4 year old. If they did anything that disgraceful even Adrian wouldn't be able to save them from Tom.

"Yes. They try to be sneaky, but even little Emily has spotted them. She has dubbed them the 'silly big pixies'. Henry and William agree these people are young idiots." He commented with an amused smirk. RazorBlood all but implied that the 'discount Death Eaters' were connected to Harry Potter.

In the end they weren't really a threat, but best to not approach and let them trip all over themselves ...

Percy snickered, "Your goddaughter is adorable."
