The next morning Harry got up before Draco, getting dressed. He looked at the time, sighing and walking back to the bed he had been in the night before where Draco still lay.

"Dray," he whispered, "Time to get up, Your father said Breakfast is at six." All Harry got was a groan in response, before he grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him down. "D-Dray… Now isn't the time-"

"Shush.. I'll get up in a minute," Draco grumbled, cutting Harry off. He kissed the back of Harry's neck lightly. "Just let me enjoy your presence before I get pulled away from you for a few hours," he finished.

"What-?" Harry asked, "What do you mean get pulled away from me for a few hours?" He turned in bed to face Draco. "You're leaving for a few hours? Wait, what about your parents? Draco, I don't know if they like me, and what if they're mad about last-" Harry was cut off by Draco kissing his lips. "Mmm.."

"I said shush.. Mother is taking me to see Professor Snape and the Minister of Magic. You will be fine here for a few hours," Draco looked tired, probably from not having his normal amount of sleep.

"Your father-"

"Won't hurt you, he can be mean, but he won't go past yelling and ranting at you," Draco finished, yawning as he sat up, pulling Harry with him.

Draco got ready, dressing in a white button up shirt and black dress pants, making sure his hair was extra neat, then walked Harry downstairs. He saw Lucius and Narcissa already sitting at an extravagant looking table. Lucius looked up from the Daily Prophet briefly as the boys walked in.

"Late," he said, before calling a house elf. "Bippy, you can tell the others to serve now." With that, the little house elf disappeared, moments later, food appeared on the table.

"Father," Draco said, "I took more time getting ready, Mother is taking me to the Ministry after breakfast."

"So she is…" Lucius looked up again, this time setting down the newspaper, looking directly at Harry. "Tell me, Mr. Potter, could you not have summoned one of our house elves to show you the way? I do recall telling you not to be late." He felt heat rise to hisface.

"Dear, don't be so rough on the poor boy," Narcissa said, "Harry, dear, it's fine, you can sit." Draco walked Harry over to the table, gesturing to a seat by him.

Harry sat down, not saying a word, afraid to upset Lucius. He hardly ate anything off his plate, mostly just moved his food around. Harry was not used to this much food. Draco gave him a weird look, but it was normal for Harry to not eat a lot, even at school.

Soon, breakfast was over, and Draco gave Harry a basic tour of a small portion of the manor before Narcissa called him to leave.

Harry decided to go back to Draco's bedroom until he was back. On his way up the stairs, a house elf appeared, telling him that Lucius called for him. She held out her small hand and offered to apparate Harry, to which he accepted, still not knowing his way around most of the place.

"You can go now Bippy," Lucius said, looking at the small elf.

"Yes sir, Call if you need me sir," She said, before apparating away.

Lucius looked at Harry. Harry froze, starting to panic. What does he want? Am I in trouble? Draco, please hurry back…

"I'm not going to hurt you Potter, if that's what you think," He spoke, standing up. "Molly wouldn't let me get away with that," Harry looked down. Lucius walked over to the fireplace, examining each one of his trinkets before speaking again. "Draco actually asked me to talk with you," Harry's head bolted up. "And while I have no intentions on being here right now, Narcissa also asked me to." Harry took a small step back.
