&ly. ahought i had a week or so free from her presene.”
harry flopped on the bed. “pansy a bad.”
the lave him ould have melted iron. “you have no idea.”
harry looked at the eiling for a mihought ame to him. “i doo this thing, do i?”
“not unless you want to go as my signifiant other.” drao replied, a sarasti smile f “beause that’s the only way you’d be invited.”
“ah…good. then i woo worry about where i paked my dress robes.”
harry woly what he ould really do with both malfoys out of the house. he supposed they did he was left there beause the house elves would make sure that nothing was out of its proper pe whe bak, but he still wasn’t omfortable with it. he began walking bak to his room to fio do. he did very far.
& riff-raff alohe house did they? my son will never uand proper deorum,” a snide voie ht spoke.
harry turure of a stately man with blond hair sliked bak so it made him look like a vampire. he had steely grey eyes, almost at-like in their perusal of harry. harry got a distint feel of luius from this man, but luius didhe same nose or hin as this person.
& just staell me who my so walk about u i may properly address the matter with him ter.”
it all liked. this was luius malfoy’s father. sot the feeling that this mahan luius if he put his mind to it.
“my name is harry potter sir.” harry gave a little bow as he said so and, lying through his teeth, ontinued. “i’m sorry for my appearaime to hahe shool u.” he figured that he should at least try to get ood side…if it had one.
the man’s lip urled. “yes, they ertaio ha. ever sine luius went to shool the uniform has been absolutely horrid. a result of allowihe shool. they dohe same bakground as the families. horrid. just horrid.”
harry didly what was horrid, the muggles in the shool or the uniform beause of allowihe shool, so he did. after all, he didn’t want all of the pitures in malfoy manor to hate him…that would be so very annoyied drao would allow him to burn them all…
“but i haven’t seen you around the ma?”
“yes sir. i just ame for christmas break sir.”
luius’ father frowned. “a one of drao’s friends have free reign of the manor?” the man shook his head as if his son eless ase.
“ly sir.” a sharp look from the man made harry ontinue. “i am veriae- boo drao, sir.”
“ah, so luius passed down that blood did he?”
harry now had the distihat luius and his father had not gotten along at all. everythio be luius’ fault to this man.
&he is fitting that i be the first oo welome you to the family. your surer? yes, that is fiers are an older wizarding family, igious as some, but good enough.” then, e of topi, “how old are you boy?”
“16 sir.”
“a good age to be bonded. i’m gd to see that at least luius’ son is doing thi be my good influene rubbing off on him.”
“he speaks fondly of you sir.” yeah…drao had ioned luius’ father, but if he was tryirait like him harry ould not have piked a better thing to say.
“of ourse he does, my boy. i ouldn’t trust luius to teah him how to do things properly. luius is eveo let the boy pursue that horrid oupation…what was it again? oh no matter. he does oo have a ertain oupation standing family suh as ours. i tried my best to eduate him when he was young, but he ened. speaking of whih, what are you going to do with your life boy? somethihe malfoy name, i would hope.”
think fast harry, harry said to himself. would an auror be a job befitting a malfoy? how in merlin’s name should he know? how ould he get out of this one? well…if luius ied his dislike for the ministry from his father…
“my adviswarts has suggested that i beome an auror for the i fools iry.”
&.
“those babbling idiots iry et anything done properly!”
when harry finally got away from luius’ father’s portrait, he found that all of the portraits (whih had beehing when drao had led him through the manor before) were equally io who had beehe manor. after a while it beame easy fle with the portraits, and rather fun as well. all he had to do was make some omment ory of magi was i and/or how the dress ode at hogwarts was unbearable nowadays, ao always address the portrait as “sir” or “ma’am” ahought that drao ould not have hoseer young man to bond with.
how the portraits viewed luius uzzling th. apparently there had bee in the malfoy family between luius and his father. (harry ould o it had something to do with voldemort.) half of the pitures followed the views of luius’ father and thought that luius was a disgrae to the malfoy he other half thought that luius was oer malfoys”. from the oion with luius’ father’s piture, harry ould ohe veriae blood also had something to do with it. maybe luius’ mate was ohe traditional malfoys rove of? oh itures seemed rather fond of harry, so he did
