In Grey Harry Potter

| 𝙿𝚊𝚝𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖 9 3/4|

As Harry was unloading his luggage from the compartment a certain blonde grabbed his trunk and said: " Come on mum and dad surely at least want to say hello." Harry of course wanted to at least greet the Malfoy's before he headed to Potter Manor. The Malfoy's were his parental figures for the last 4 years. The rest of the wizarding world however only saw the Malfoy's as a dark family.

Yes, the Malfoy's did agree with Voldemort's opinions, unlike their son who only agreed with some. But with political views aside the Malfoy's were just a family who cared about each other deeply and would go to the end's of the Earth for each other. Through Narcissa, Harry was able to experience what true mother's love feels like because the moment 11-year-old Harry stepped into the halls of Malfoy Mannor they treated him like a son.

At the very back of the platform away from the enormous crowd of parents stood the Malfoy's anxiously awaiting the return of their beloved son. Lucius Malfoy stood wearing black robes with his blonde hair neatly combed back, his tall frame stood straight and proud and no emotion was showing on his face. Lucius clearly was the image of the perfect pureblood. Next to him was his wife, Narcissa, wearing elegant emerald green robes, standing straight and like Lucius no emotion showing on her face.

" Hello father," said Draco extending a hand out to his father for a handshake. Lucius happily accepted it with a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. " Mother how are you?" said Draco hugging his mother. Unlike most teenagers Draco was not embarrassed to hug his mother, he truly was a mamma's boy, but then again he also was a daddy's boy. " I am doing fine Draco. Harry what a pleasure to see you, dear," replied Narcissa

" Hello Lord and Lady Malfoy, the pleasure is all, mine," said Harry bowing out of respect to one of the most  noblest and ancient houses. " Harry how many times must I insist on you calling us by our first names?" replied Lucius with a small smile across his face. He extended his hand out to receive a handshake. Harry smiled and immediately shook it.

" Hello, Lady Malfoy. How are you doing today? By the way, you do look lovely" said Harry while bowing and kissing Mrs. Malfoy's had. Draco rolled his eyes at his friend's charm. Heat rose to Narcissa's face. When Harry let go of her hand she opened her arms and gave Harry a motherly hug. When they pulled apart Narcissa shared her disappointment.

" Thank you, Harry. I am doing fine, although I am disappointed that you will not be joining us this summer. You are always welcomed at Malfoy Mannor please remember that."

" Thank you truly Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy for all the generosity you have given me these past few years but, alas at one point or another I must return to Potter Mannor," said Harry disappointed he could not be with those who truly cared for him.

" Oh, all right but please do come and visit us this summer. Like I have said before Harry you are always welcomed at Malfoy Manor." Narcissa replied to the boy she cared about so much. It worried her that he would be returning to that wretched family, who obviously couldn't see the handsome, smart , charming boy in front of them.

" You can count on it." Harry replied making all three Malfoy's smile" I do look forward to meeting you this summer. Thank you again for your kindness." Harry said sincere making Narcissa's smile bigger than it already was " I better get going. don't want my uncles to wait" Harry whispered in a voice so low it was almost impossible to catch it but the Malfoy's did hear him,worry and concern replaced their smiles. " I'll see you mate," said Draco giving Harry a bro hug. " Yeah. See you." Harry replied. Before bowing again out of respect again and moving away trying to find his uncles in the sea of people. Before he could spot them however a hand touched his right shoulder making him turn back.

He came face to face with the beautiful smiling face of Daphne Greengrass. She leaned forwards and gave him a hug. Harry stiffened at the hug before he returned it. " I know you'll be alright. But that doesn't stop me from worrying. Please write to me as often as you can" she whispered in his left ear. The hug lasted a few more seconds then she pulled back gave him another one of her enchanting smiles, waved goodbye, and walked away. It took Harry a few seconds to realized what just happened. Turning away he spotted the orange red hair belonging to his little brother. Walking towards them Harry repeated the 3 phrases that have stuck with him since he was a child "You are strong. You are a survivor, You are powerful". With these three phrases in mind, he always felt like he could do anything. So he grabbed all the courage he could muster and tapped his Uncle Moony in the back.

Remus Lupin turned around to see what had tapped him. When he turned around he saw a raven-haired boy, with green eyes standing at 6ft almost as tall as Remus. The boy in question was wearing a white shirt complementing his muscular body. He was also wearing muggle jeans and a leather jacket making him look like someone you shouldn't mess with. In all honesty, the boy in front of him did not look like a boy. He looked like a man.

Remus's eyes widen in shock and he pulled on Sirius's sleeve wanting to see if what he was seeing was real or just a dream. " What Moony?" said Sirius in an annoyed tone turning around. Sirius's eyes widen in shock confirming this was not a dream

" Who are you ?" asked a very shocked Sirius Black.

" It's me, Harry James Potter"
