Cayden didn't expect his summer at malfoy manor to be a vacation but when Mr. Malfoy dragged them out of school a week early; he knew it would be bad. Draco gave him a look to not say anything as they got to hogsmeade Mr. Malfoy aperated with Draco and quickly came back to collect him. Mr Malfoy was grumbling to himself the entire time, it wasn't until they got to see Ms.Malfoy that he figured out what happend. He did have to hide the small glee he got from knowing Dobby was okay and out but he didn't have to stay long. Draco soon grabbed him and dragged him to his room.

"Okay I did NOT tell my father what happened and you can't either, I dont want to know why you were down there with Potter and Weasley and there is no way you will ever tell my father, understood?" Draco says hushed but firm.

"Yeah, I figured that I meet you know who for the second time wouldn't exactly go over well." Cayden said.

"What did I just say, I literally just said don't tell me anything, I don't want to know. The dark lord will not be mentioned this summer got it." Draco hisses.

"Got it." Cayden says. they stare silently at each other for a minute before draco breaks the silence.

"Wait what do you mean you meet the dark lord?" Draco says completely shocked.

"I thought you didn't want to know." Cayden snides knowing leverage when he see's it.

"I don't, I can't. No dont tell me anything, merlins sake. Just go do your homework." Draco says clearly trying to stop himself from asking.

"Wow Draco Malfoy being the responsible one, I never would have seen it coming, should I call a healer, are you feeling alright." Cayden jokes leaving Draco's room and going into the guest room he took last summer. For the first time in weeks, Cayden didnt know what to do with himself. He knew now wasn't the time to go and ask about his summer job and he didnt know if he could use the fireplace without permission so he just sat at the small desk and worked on his summer paper for history of magic. It wasn't long, honestly mr.binns was losing his touch but it was something to keep his mind occupied. Once finished he decided that enough time had passed that he could safely walk around the manor. He enters the main living room and see's Ms. Malfoy and Mr. Malfoy sitting. Cayden is well aware how rude it is to eavesdrop on the people who had been kind enough to allow him to stay at their house but he couldn't help himself. He says behind the corner and listens. Mr Malfoy mostly talks about how annoying it is that they have to find a new house elf, he would have assumed they had more than one but apparently dobby had been maintaining this house all on his own. He decides, far to late, that eavesdropping is rude and decides he can't find them a new house elf but he can clean up. Not much needed to be done yet, there were a few dishes in the sink and there was some laundry that needed to be folded. Without magic he figured it would take a while so he started with the laundry as it would be quieter then move to the dishes. He finished the laundry but without magic it was hard to do dishes without making noise. Obviously if he could use magic he could just cast a quick silencing spell but for now he turned on the water and got to work hoping that no one would notice the noise. What he didnt expect was to run into Ms. Malfoy. She wasn't wearing her normal clothes, or at least the work outfit which had previously been the only thing he'd seen her in, but a more causal button up and pants. The cuffs of her shirt were rolled around her elbows and her hair was tied up, he had never seen her looking so, well normal. The whole family always looked so fancy and professional but she looked just like a regular person. He almost forgot who she was.

"Ms. Malfoy, Im so sorry for the disturbance I know what happened with your former house elf so I figured I could help out. If its alright, I just wanted to show my gratitude." He made sure to be as proper as he could be, he wasn't exactly sure how proper this situation required but she seemed fine, no less distant than she had been to him prior but she didn't feel angry, more tired. He was shocked at that and had he not been an empath he wouldn't be able to tell.
