drao frowfully. “i think i remember my mother spoke of her ohing about being a disgrae to the family.”
&her married a muggle.”
“that would expin it. but if she’s reted to my mother she’s the only other female retive i’ve got.”
“i’ll write to her about it if you want,” harry offered, adding the hose ihe list bef it bak to drao.
“sure.” drao sahe list of names as harry made a meonks to look as malfoyish as she ould to the wedding.
“you put a house elf on here?” drao looked up inredulously from where he read dobby’s name.
harry shrugged.
harry realized that the invitatio out when dobby appeared on top of his potions assigs, luthier and howling.
“mister harry potter sir! dobby is so hoo be asked t like a wizard sir!”
“um…it’s no problem dobby,” harry tried to soothe the house elf. the door to his and drao’s bedroom opened and drao lea the doorway in obvious amusement as the house elf oell harry how woo send a house elf an invitation. harry looked up at him leading expression, but drao shook his head.
“you got yourself into it, you get yourself out,” he spoke under dobby’s hysterial words.
harry debated about when to tell drao about the dursleys. he realized that he eime with them to reioingly gave him for his st summer with them. he was under no illusion that he would be let bak into their house oed hogwarts, not that he would have gone bak anyway, but for one more summer he protetion. beause of his veriae bond to drao, he would either be pulled to where drao was at night or drao would be pulled to where he was. that meant drao end those same few weeks at the dursleys with him.
of ourse, her the dursleys nor drao would like that. drao would hate them immediately beause the dursleys were as muggle as you ahehey would treat him f a magial reature, whih was ertaihan being a wizard. for their part, the dursleys would hate drao beause he was a magial reature pure ahen, if they found out that drao was his fia was defi normal to the dursleys.
“you’re too quiet. you must be thinking,” drao ommented from where he was finishing up his a runes essay before bed.
“i’m thinking about the summer.”
“what about the summer?”
“well, you know how i lived with muggles? i’ll have to go bak there for the few weeks before the wedding.”
“no.”
harry sighed. “yes i do. there’s some protetion ward that they give me beause we’re reted by blood, or that’s what dumbledore said. so i have to go bak there eah summer to re least until i finish hogwarts.”
“you do realize that i will have to be there for those feell.”
“yes,” harry replied miserably.
“i wo.”
& either.”
it wasn’t until after drao had already falle harry realized drao had said “i wo” and not “i won’t go”.

harry stared glumly at his breakfast, only half-listening to hermi him of st mis and tips.
