Godric's Hollow, Harry's and Draco's New Home

[Fred WeasleyFollower]

Harry Potter

:: Harry apparated onto the front hall of his parent's newly renovated house at Godric's Hollow. He inhaled deeply and smiled as certain sensory memories came back to him. Memories he didn't realize he still had. He pulled an old, wrinkled picture from his pocket and smiled. He pulled out his wand as well and waved it at the picture, making it crisp and new, framed by a beautiful blackwood frame. He set it on the mantle over the fireplace and watched as his parents danced around happily, laughing together and waving at him. ::

"It's good to be back home, isn't it Mum, Dad?"

:: He sighed deeply and waited to see if the chief renovator was ever going to make an appearance. Finally a bright green flame appeared on the fireplace and a large head with bushy hair and mustache appeared. Harry recognized it to be Mr. Wellsford, the chief renovator. ::

Mr. Wellsford: "Ah! Mr. Potter! Good to see you here."

:: Harry smiled at the elderly man and crouched near the fire. ::

"Mr. Wellsford, I see that you're quite done with the place. It's very nice, just the way they say it looked before. Tell, me, did you finish it just now?"

Mr. Wellsford: "Last night, actually. But I didn't send word to you anymore because it was quite late. I was supposed to send you word today, but seeing you're already here and all..."

:: Harry nodded. ::

"Yes, well...Draco and I wish to move in today. Do you need more time to work on anything?"

Mr. Wellsford: :: Mr. Wellsford shook his head. ::

"Oh, no, no. We're quite done with the place, as you can see. But if you'd like us to work on better beautifying your garden..."

:: Harry shook his head. ::

"No need, sir. I think Draco would want to landscape the garden himself. Thank you so much, Mr. Wellsford, for the wonderful job that you have done. Send me the bill soon so that I may send the entire payment."

:: Harry watched as Mr. Wellsford tipped his head and disappeared. He stood up and surveyed the place. Everything was as it was supposed to look, down to the furniture that was there. Harry smiled. This was going to be their haven --- his, Draco's and Lily's/ It was now time to call on Draco. ::

Love, the place is gorgeous. Come see. Oh, and ask Varia if we can get help from one or two of the house elves to transport our belongings here.

:: He opened his eyes and beamed at the house. ::

"This is going to be perfect."

::Apparates into the main hall with Lily...looks around and smiles::

"Look Lily...it is our new home..."

::Lily coos and claps her hands and Draco walks further into the house::

"Harry? Harry, we are here?"

Harry Potter

:: Harry came out of the kitchen area beaming and sees Draco carrying Lily in his arms, standing at the main hall. He smiled and approached them. He took Lily in his arms and gave Draco a kiss. ::

"Well, what do you think? My parent's former house elves are already back here. They're all in the basement converting the place into a grand work area that they'll be using for their work and stuff. Blimey, I never experienced working with house elves before. But I told them not to cook unless we tell them to do so. I want to do all the cooking in this house."

::Looks around and nods in approval::

"It looks nice...perfect...homey..."

::Follows Harry into the kitchen::

"And....I don't object to you doing all the cooking...house elf cooking, after eating it my whole life, isn't that tasteful.."

Harry Potter

:: Harry placed Lily in a waiting wooden crib inside the kitchen and fingered it delicately. He turned to Draco and gave him a feather-light kiss. ::

"House-elf cooking isn't so bad. But of course it's not half as good as my cooking."

:: He smiled and motioned for Draco to sit by the counter. He started taking out stuff from the fridge and slicing them, obviously preparing some sort of snack. He tipped his head towards the crib where Lily was in. ::

"That used to be mine, you know. Mr. Wellsford and I saw it in here partially wrecked because of the fire when we first came to survey the place. I was looking at it so sadly I guess that Mr. Wellsford offered to get it back to how it looked before."

:: Harry smiled softly as he said his short story while continuing to prepare their snack. ::

::Looks into the bassinet at Lily who was slowly drifting off to sleep::

"I think she likes it...I had some of Malfoy Manor house elves deliver some of my personal stuff as well....mostly bathroom things and my clothes...I don't know what I want to do with the manor yet...I might just keep it as a summer get away or something..."

::Watches Harry prepare the snack::

"Whatcha making love?"

[Fred WeasleyFollower]

Harry Potter

:: Harry nodded. ::

"Fried bananas and pineapples with honey-lemon sauce. It would be great if we could use the manor as a private summer resort, especially if you have a pool there or, better yet, a private lake."

:: He went back to the fridge and took out some sliced pineapples and lemons and placed them on the counter. He smiled mischievously at Draco. ::

"Do I have to make room for all your stuff in our room or should I give you an entire room all to yourself just so you have somewhere to keep your magnificent collection of fine toiletries and amazingly more magnificent collection of every article of clothing imaginable?"

[Draco L. MalfoyFollower]

::Catches himself drooling when Harry mentioned what he was preparing for them then smirks::

"I don't have that much stuff believe it or not...besides I love magic, I will just extend the closet if I need more room..."

::Places a newly conjured blanket over Lily and turns back to Harry::

"And we can use the manor as a summer resort....it doesn't have a pool, but it does have a lake...and the summer sun heats it perfectly..."

::Feels a chill in his spine and shakes::

"Varia is uneased...I wonder what is going on to make her so not at ease? Maybe we should stop by and see after our meal?"

Harry Potter

:: Wipes his hand and walks behind Draco. He placed his arm around the blond's waist. He plants a gentle kiss in Draco's neck and inhales his husband's scent deeply. ::

"I can give you about half an hour till the snack is done anyway. Why don't you go ahead and drop in on them to see what's wrong. I'll hold down the fort back here. Besides, I have a feeling Lily's going to be sleeping all night, I really don't want to ruin her sleep."

:: He placed his hand beneath Draco's chin and gently tilted his head towards him. Harry leaned over and kissed Draco slowly, caressing his lower lip lazily with his tongue, knowing the blond would end up in a daze after it. He pulled away and gazed into Draco's glazed eyes. ::

::Swoons a bit but catches himself...smirks at Harry::

::Apparate to Slyco residence::
