Chapter-6
Pets
Harry
Next, Hagrid takes me the eyelop Emporium. It's a pet shop.
"I will just be outside 'arry." He mutters and I reply back, "I will not go back to the Dursleys. Can I take a room somewhere over here?"
Hagrid looks at me with surprised eyes and replies, "Yeh can rent out a room in the Diagon Alley."
"Ummm. So would you mind terribly if I want to look around a bit, on my own that is." I whispers, making sure to look as adorable as possible. It has the desired effect and Hagrid grins before muttering, "Of course, Harry, my boy. Have a good time."
This being said, he ruffles my hair and leaves. I enter the shop. The reason I wanted to be alone was that I don't want anyone's input regarding the type of pet I want. So I enter the shop and walk towards the reception and wait for the lady in flowing blue dress to look at me. She is currently talking to a blond. Harry can only see the boy's back.
"Turkish Van. Excellent choice, my child. The Turkish Van is a natural breed and has probably existed in his homeland for centuries. this is a social and affectionate cat who is strongly attached to members of his family, although he may choose one or two as his favorites. He is highly activeand athletic, remaining playful into his senior years. Athletic doesn't mean graceful, however. The Van is big and ungainly; this is one cat who doesn't always land on his feet. Turkish Vans are highly intelligent and can learn tricks and games, including playing fetch."
Intrigued, I listen to the lady as she shows the cat to the boy who seems my age. The cat really is trully beautiful. Complete white with brown tail and head.
"But, I-" The boy stops, lost in his thought and my eyes widen when I realize exactly who he is. I had only accepted his friendship because he seems from an influential family. It might help me in future to have connections with a powerful family. It might terrify Dursleys a little.
This in mind, I walk towards him, my steps slow and tap on his shoulder. He almost whirls around when I do that. His eyes look terrified of something that I don't understand.
"Oh! It's you." He murmurs and sighs audibly in relief. I wonder about it but I don't ask him. I just smile and he smiles back at me. His smile is nice. It changes his face completely and I want him to keep smiling.
"You are taking a cat." I ask him and his cheeks turns red at that before he mumbles, "Well... it's beautiful. I really like it but father won't agree so-"
He stops there and looks utterly adorable right now, staring the cat, his lower lip jutting out in a pout.
This is the moment I have my epiphany. i realize that I am really concerned for him. Why won't I be? He is my first friend and I really want to be his friend, influence and power be damned.
I realize that I really won't leave him... I won't be able to leave him. He looks so vulnerable and kind hearted.
"Meow." The cat mumbles and the boy leans forward, his fingers on the cat's brown head.
"I will keep him for you. That way no-one will know." I don't even realize that I am blurting the words put until I really have said them. He looks at me as if Christmas has come early and a strong feeling of guilt creeps inside me. I had wanted to use him for his influence.
I want to tell him but I don't want to lose him. He is my only friend. he is the only person who has ever looked at me like this so I don't tell him but I decide to never use his influence or money for anything I need, no matter what.
It lessens my guilt a bit but it doesn't go away entirely.
"You really will." He murmurs and I find myself nodding before muttering, "I have to get myself a pet too. Come on. You can care for it for me. Your father will be happy with it and it will protect you too."
He looks at me, his eyes confused and the lady asks me, "Deary. what kind of an animal do you want?"
I look at her and smile before murmuring, "A Black mamba."
She stares at me and so does the boy. Their eyes reflect the shock they feel over my choice.
"Is there any problem?" I asked defensively and she shakes her head in denial before muttering, "Please follow me."
I turn to look at the boy, wondering if he will accept my choice. I have a feeling that snakes are not consider nice in this world.
I like them. They are beautiful and strong and can take care of themselves. Most importantly, I can talk to them.
"I never asked your name." I mumble self-consciously.
he clears his throat and mumbles back, "Draco Malfoy and yours?"
"Harry Potter." I mutter and study his reaction carefully. The way his eyes widen in shock is a proof that he knows why older people keep on staring at me the moment they look into my eyes or at my scar. It's one of the main reason I keep my scar hidden under my unmanageable hair.
I clear my throat and my heart beats loudly as I wait for him to answer.
"You must keep the snake. It will protect you." This is the first thing he says and I stare at him before replying, "From what?"
"I-" He starts and sighs, "Your really don't know anything do you. Have you living under a rock for the past eleven years?"
"You could say that. I- I can talk to snakes." I mutter and he shoots me a look, his eyes tunned before he murmurs, "Keep the snake-"
"No." I answer him quite adamantly, "You need it more than me... what with your father being so strict?"
Draco doesn't reply to me. He averts his eyes and mumbles, "Okay I will take care of your snake and you can take care of my Serena."
I smile at the name. It's really adorable.
"I bet that stupid Weasley will bring a dog for a pet. Make sure to protect my Serena once you get sorted into Gryffindor." He glares at me and I look at him with amused eyes. This is a new side of Draco I am witnessing.
Others might find the blond arrogant but I can see a soft hearted boy underneath all that arrogance.
"I will ensure that she is well cared for." I mutter. I don't want to be sorted into Gryffindor but I don't tell him that, not right now. I decide to tell him once we have a bit of time to talk.

Draco chuckles as relives those moments. Now he knows why Harry had looked at him with strange apologetic eyes. That also explains why Harry is hiding under his blanket right now, acting as if he has slept.
Draco shuts down the laptop and walks towards Harry.
"Harry darling." Draco drawls but Harry doesn't respond. He doesn't even move so Draco sits beside him.
"You really are a true slytherin aren't you? Influence, eh?" Draco teases him finally Harry removes the blanket revealing his apologetic eyes.
"That's why you never accepted father's money that I tried to give to you or clothes or anything at all." Draco murmurs and Harry stares at the ceiling, his eyes looking tortured.
"You should have told me if it was tormenting you so much. It's understandable really, what with the kind of living your relatives gave to you."
"I just wanted to terrify and hurt them for what they did to me." Harry mumbles and Draco shakes his head, "I won't have let you."
"I know that. Forgive me."
Draco looks exasperatedly at his husband who is looking morosely at him, "Honestly Harry. There is nothing to forgive but if it gives you peace then I do forgive you."
"Thanks." Harry says and looks at his lips. His eyes darken with desire and for some reason Draco doesn't feel like letting anyone touch him so he clears his throat and murmurs, "Go to sleep. We have an early morning tomorrow. Remember... that university that Granger had told us about... Manchester University of magic. We have to visit it tomorrow with them. We can complete our education there."
Harry sighs and looks at him. Draco has an urge to avert his eyes but he doesn't. What is the point of hiding from Harry when Harry knows. So he looks silently in his green eyes. A moment later, Harry holds his wrist and presses a couple of kisses on his palm before murmuring, "All right."
"I- I will write my part before sleeping so-" Draco starts and Harry nods before yawning loudly. He closes his green eyes and only when Draco is sure that Harry has slept, Draco kisses his lips softly.
Harry's rather real-sounding snores stop very suddenly and he smiles, his eyes still closed as he squeezes Draco's hands.
"Git." Draco mumbles and stands up to return to the computer table.
