In this oneshot Draco is owner of a very wealthy family and helps out at charity organizations. And Harry's broke and doesn't have any money.

Harry sighed as he stopped in front of the house he always stopped. The place where he gets his food. The only place where he can afford to go. He walked inside and went towards the table. He never dared to speak to anyone, thinking he'd stick out in this crowd of people who are the same as him. "hello, with how many people do you live?" it was a new voice. Harry did not like that at all. "four." Harry replied. "do you have babies?" for the first time Harry looked up. His jaw dropped. It was THE Draco Malfoy who just asked him that. "yeah I have one baby one toddler and one child who's ten." Harry replied. He smiled and nodded. "I'll be right there." He said and walked away. Harry fidgeted with his sleeves. "where are your children now?" he asked. "they're right outside." Harry said. "it's a heavy box do you want me to walk with you?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. He became weak because over the year he's never had enough food and now his wife had divorced him they were even homeless. They walked outside and there James stood pointing his index finger like he was punishing them. "Jamie leave them alone." Harry said. "hi dad." James said and hugged Harry. "hi." Harry smiled. "who's that?" Albus asked. "this is a worker." Harry replied. "cool." James said. "where's your car?" Draco asked. "I don't have a car." Harry replied. "neither a house." James said. Draco looked at Harry. "shut up will you?" Harry asked. James looked down. "where do you stay?" Draco asked. harry shrugged. "somewhere the police can't find us." Harry replied. Draco looked at the shivering toddler. "take my jacket." Draco said and handed his jacket to James who shared it with Albus. Lily was in James's armed wrapped in a blanket. "thanks for carrying it outside." Harry said. "is it bad from to ask if you want to sleep at my house, for as long as you want. I live in a big house and I don't mind some company." Draco said. Harry smiled at him. "I would be thankful, but I can't ask that from you." Harry said. "please, let me do this. I know I can't take everyone in, but you feel fragile, can I say it like that?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "you don't have a home, you have three kids. Do you have a job?" Draco asked. "they don't accept me anywhere." Harry replied. "see, did you graduate high school?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "I'll help you find a job." Draco said. harry smiled. "you're generous." Harry replied. "what's your name?" Draco asked. "Harry Potter, these are James, Albus and Lily." Harry replied. "nice to meet you all, my name is Draco." he said. Albus walked towards him and hugged his leg. "I have to be here for another hour, so you can come inside to the warmth and wait until I'm done." Draco said. Harry nodded and took everyone inside.

Draco unlocked his front door and welcomed everyone in. "strange question since you're already letting us in your house, but can I shower?" Harry asked. "of course, you can do whatever you want in here. it's your home too now." He said. Harry smiled. "is there a limit?" Harry asked. "for the shower? Of course not!" Draco said. Harry smiled. "thanks." He said. "it's up the stairs first door use whatever the hell you need, except for my tooth brush." Draco said. Harry smiled and walked upstairs. He took the children towards the living room and started feeding the red haired baby. Albus sat on his lap. "why would he think I have a limit?" Draco asked. "sometimes we get money from people who think we're sad, and when we save up enough we're able to afford a motel, or something like that and usually we go to the same one. it isn't far, but we can only shower five minutes with us four, so dad doesn't shower at all usually, then I take a minute and the other four are for Albus and Lils." James said. Draco nodded. "are you hungry?" Draco asked. "is that even a question of course I am." James said. Draco chuckled. "at the end of this hallway there is the kitchen choose something from the fridge and bring something for your brother too." He said. James nodded and walked away with Albus. A half hour later Harry sat on the couch. He was still wearing his old and ripped clothes. "you can use something from me, I obviously don't have anything for children but you're a start." Draco said. Harry smiled. "door next to the bathroom." Draco said. harry nodded and went upstairs. James and Albus came back well fed. Only Albus was still shivering and Lily had finally finished her bottle. "I'll light the fireplace." Draco said. "no fire." James said. "why?" Draco asked. Harry awkwardly came back into the room. "mom used to burn us." James said. Draco's eyes widened. "I'm so sorry." Draco approached to hug them. "no." James took a step backwards. "it's fine." He was almost crying. "okay, I have blankets and a thermostat if you'd prefer that?" Draco said. James nodded. He sat back on the couch with his brother and took Lily. Draco wrapped a blanket around them. "come with me." Draco turned on the tv on something for kids. Harry smiled and followed Draco into the kitchen. "do you wear this often?" Harry asked. "no, I don't really wear jeans and hoodies, I just have it I guess." Draco said and opened the fridge. Harry smiled. "if I get the chance I'll pay you the food back really." Harry looked at the cookie wrappers. Draco chuckled. "this is nothing." He said and grabbed some of the leftovers from the day prior. He warmed it up and gave it to Harry. "enjoy." He said. "are you kind because you think we're sad?" Harry asked. "no, I'm kind because I want to be kind. I'm gonna hire a babysitter tomorrow okay? then you can do whatever you'd like with me." Draco said. "really?" Harry asked. Draco nodded. "can we go shopping for the kids they need new shoes and clothes." Harry said. "no problem." Draco said. Harry smiled. "is it rude to ask how you became homeless?" Draco asked. "we were poor from the start. Nothing could help us, and then my wife divorced me and we didn't have a house anymore. I don't have money too short, I just don't have any." Harry said. "so if someone marries you they won't come into problems?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "maybe we could go to the hairdresser with you tomorrow too?" Draco asked. "that's too much." Harry said. "I'm going for myself anyways." Draco said. Harry nodded. "you have a diploma?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "I always wanted to work as a teacher for primary school, but I got James when I was 15 now I'm twenty-five I do have my diploma but homeless people aren't allowed a job." Harry replied. Draco nodded. "are you a dad?" Harry asked. "I have a toddler, but I'm divorced and he's until tonight with his mother." Draco said. "won't he mind?" Harry asked. "he always feels lonely, I mean he only has me. And you know I think your son Albus can be great friends with Scorpius." Draco said. Harry smiled. Harry finished food.
