"But I keep cruising, can't stop,
Won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind,
Sayin' it's gonna be alright"
-Taylor Swift "Shake It Off 

A couple days had past since Draco saw Harry and he could not  decide on what to say in his letter about getting together again. He  kept pacing which in turn made Winky very nervous and of course Narcissa  found it quite amusing.

Narcissa finally decided to put a stop to  the pacing. "Draco, darling, you really need to stop. I am sure whatever  is on your mind you will figure it out."

Draco glared at his  mother. "Mother, I do not know what to do. I know I should write to Harry  but every time I start a letter it comes out wrong and then I just  can not think of anything to say."

Narcissa smiled softly at her  son. "Perhaps you should go to Grimmauld Place and tell him in person?  Maybe that would ease some of the stress."

Draco stuttered to  think of something to say. "I do not want to seem too eager because I will  look like a daft fool. And you know I can not deal with that."

Narcissa  smirked. "Darling, I hate to break it to you but you are being foolish  and daft right now. You might as well just go to his place."

Draco  blushed and huffed out a sigh. "Fine you are right as always, Mother.  But what about the press? I do not want to be the reason why Harry gets  assaulted by them. Can you imagine the article titles? I'm sure they would  use "Death Eater Corrupts the Wizarding World's Saviour" as a title or  something very similar to it."

Narcissa huffed out a chuckle.  "Draco, stop being overdramatic. It will be fine whether there is an  article or not. Remember, Harry does not care what the press think of  him. He has never cared all that much. I am sure that line of thinking  still stands. He cares for you deeply and he would never allow anyone,  especially the press, influence him otherwise. Just go to him and forget  the potential consequences. I am sure it would be a happy surprise to  see you again."

Draco nodded and sighed. "Of course you are right  yet again. Harry has never cared for the press or their impression of  him. I just do not want him to get hurt because of me. It would not seem right  for him to get punished for my past." He looked down sadly.

Narcissa  stood up and walked over to her son. "My dear, I understand why you are  worried. But you deserve your own happiness despite your past and Harry  makes you happy and that is all that should matter. Now, I order you to  go see your Harry." She gave him a teasing smile.

Once again,  Draco blushed and grumbled under his breath. "Seriously Mother quit  teasing me over this. I will take your advice and see him as soon as I am  presentable."

Narcissa chuckled. "That is my brave boy. I will see you when you return." She kissed him on the top of his head and walked away.

Draco  finished his lunch and called for Winky. He told her to find his best  casual Muggle clothing. Once he made his way up the stair to his  bedroom, he showered and got dressed. Winky had left him black skinny  jeans with a dark green t-shirt. A perfect Malfoy outfit that was  appropriate for the Muggle world. He looked in the mirror to make sure  he looked flawless for his Harry. He approved of his appearance and left  his bedroom and made his way down the stairs.

As Draco left the  Manor, he wished his mother and Winky a good day. After he exited the  gate, he apparated to Muggle London. He remembered where Grimmauld Place  was located because he had been there as a child. He arrived at the  nearest apparation point to Harry's house. He got more and more nervous  as he got closer and started to doubt that he made the right decision to  visit Harry at home. He finally approached the front door and knocked.  He heard Harry shout out "Hold on, I'll be right there!" and that is when  he realised that he was trembling a bit.
