Harry's Inheritance

Draco's Confusion

Harry and Draco's footsteps echoed through the marble halls of the mansion, a calm air surrounded the two. After a few minutes of walking Draco suddenly stopped his movements and guided Harry into the room in front of them. Harry's eyes lit up as he gazed around the room. Luxurious emerald drapes hung over a large window, a shimmering crystal chandelier fell gracefully from the cieling. The most notible thing about the room was the long dark wood table that spanned to the end of the room.

"Blinky!" Draco called out. A few moments later there was a popping sound and a small elf stood before them.

"What can Blinky be doing for young master Draco and guest?"

The elf, true to its name blinked up at them with big gleaming eyes. Harry almost cooed at the cuteness. Draco looked at the elf and smiled, since his father had been taken he was no longer pressured into treating the elves poorly and they were much happier.

"Could you get us something to eat please?"

The elf nodded it's head excitedly. "What would you be liking me to make?" Blinky asked curiously.

Draco turned to Harry and tilted his head. Sensing the unspoken question Harry replied quickly. "I don't really mind, ummm pancakes? With maple syrup?"

Draco looked thoughtful for a moment. "Hmmmm... I would like the same but with lemon juice"

Blinky hopped up and down happily, a large smile appeared on the elf's face. "Blinky will be having the food ready for young master and guest very soon".

The popping sound once again echoed throughout the room, Draco stood there for a moment before pulling a chair out for Harry and sitting in his own seat. Harry hesitantly sat down in the chair, careful not to damage his wings. Draco had begun to talk, however, Blinky reappearing with the food silenced him. Harry had not eaten much in the last few days and his mouth was watering at the sweet aroma that drifted from his plate. He quickly dug in and hummed as he savoured the taste.

However, he hadn't noticed that the man opposite him wasn't eating. Draco's pupils had dilated and his breathing was constricted. His heart had fluttered when he saw the look of peace and satisfaction on the others face. His mind became blank as he observed the winged man, however, one word surfaced and resonated through his head. Mate. Draco shook his head in confusion and began to eat.

Dear lord, I'm so so sorry I haven't updated in ages!!
I've been held back by schoolwork and I have serious writers block so this took me weeks to write. Another reason is that I am writing a different story and I tend to forget that I need to add to others.
Anyway, I hope those who waited so long to read this chapter like it!
